Lavender Bath Salts

2/15/2014

I love using dead sea salts as a detox body scrub for me, and it is a great additive every week (or whenever he has a flare-up) for the bath for my son with eczema. Dead sea salt contains many minerals and has many therapeutic qualities good for the skin, the body, and healing - and that combined with the soothing/anti-inflammatory properties of the lavender and the oil relieves itching and flare-ups.

Lavender Bath Salts - Eczema soothing bath salts. {whollyrooted}

{{ingredients}}
1 cup good quality dead sea salt
1 Tbsp lavender buds, dried
1 Tbsp organic avocado oil (you can also use apricot kernel oil)
10 drops organic lavender essential oil

Mix together and store in an air tight canning jar. Let sit at room temperature for a few days before using for maximum scent. Multiply this recipe for quantity...this makes about 2 baths worth. Stir or shake before using so that anything that may have settled to the bottom is throughout.

You can scoop this into a small muslin bag and place it into the bathwater or just scoop right into bath if you don't mind little buds.
