Homemade Vaporizing Bath Soak

by Aspen Anderson

Having a cold is NO FUN, and they are definitely going around during this season!  If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having a cough and/or a stuffed up nose, at least there are nice things you can do to find some relief.  A hot bath with this soak mixture could be just the ticket to ease your symptoms - the Epsom salts go to work on your sore muscles, and the aromatherapy vapors from the essential oils will make your head feel better and support your immune system.

Ingredients:

- 4 cups Epsom salts 

- 2 cup baking soda

- 20 drops Eucalyptus essential oil

- 20 drops Peppermint essential oil

- 20 drops tea tree essential oil

- green or blue natural food coloring (optional)

Directions:

- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with a spoon.  Store in an airtight container such as a glass or plastic jar.  For each bath, scoop 1-2 cups into water as hot as you can stand, and soak for 30-40 minutes.
