How to Make Homemade Bath Salts with

Essential Oils {Part 2}

I hope you enjoyed {Part 1} of my homemade bath salt tutorial.  Now, we will add some more ingredients to personalize your salts even more!  I’m going to show you How to Make Homemade Bath Salts with Essential Oils, so you can create an enjoyable way to naturally cleanse and purify your body, relax and calm your thoughts, provide support after athletic activity, refresh your senses, promote healthy respiratory function, and soothe your skin.

*disclosure:  some of the following links are affiliate links which means we may make a small amount of money per purchase, enough to upgrade our coffee to a large.  But, it never affects your price at all.  Thank you for supporting this blog.

In this post, we will try some different ingredients that can make your bath salts even more beneficial. Since you will be adding essential oils, you will need a glass container like these mason jars or this jar with a spoon attached.  Essential oils can break down plastic.  They are potent.  I discussed why essential oils are strong in {Part 1}, so I’ll keep this short.  Young Living essential oils are sustainably sourced, and independently tested.  They are concentrated plant extracts obtained by steam distillation, cold pressing, or resin tapping that can be used aromatically, topically, or internally.  In my quest to reduce my toxin load, I found Young Living and never looked back. It takes 75 lemons to make one 15 ml bottle of Young Living Lemon Essential Oil. Holy Smokes! Here are some of my favorite combinations that you might enjoy:

Refreshing: Peppermint, Eucalyptus 

Calming: Lavender, Bergamot, German Camomile

Post Workout: Wintergreen, PanAway, Lemongrass

Uplifting: Orange, Lemon, Citrus Fresh

The Young Living Difference | the everyday home

Here are the ingredients you need for this DIY project:

Epsom Salt 

Young Living Essential Oils

Baking Soda (optional)  

Sea Salt/Himalayan Salt (optional)

Rolled Oats (optional)

Carrier Oil like Jojoba Oil (optional)

You will need the Epsom salt and the Young Living essential oils, regardless of which other ingredients you would like to add.  I described the necessity of getting the Young Living essential oils off the top of the bath water in {Part 1} of this blog post, and the Epsom salt will do that.  

One ingredient you can choose is a carrier oil. Using a carrier oil, also known as dilution, is key if you are a new oiler. You can use extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or jojoba oil (to name a few).  One or two drops of Young Living essential oil will go a long way when mixed with a carrier oil, and it won’t change the effectiveness.  I’m suggesting jojoba oil, because it serves as a moisturizer.

Quick Tips for using Essential Oils | the everyday homeSea salt and Himalayan salt both have properties and minerals you might enjoy in your bath salt.  In fact, you might already use them in your cooking arsenal.  Epsom salt can help increase magnesium, and you might decide that the other salts add benefits that you desire as well.  These salts bring their natural cleansing and purifying properties to the bath, while supporting healthy immune function. 

Baking soda is another optional ingredient that naturally purifies and cleanses.  I have listed several optional ingredients in the hope that you can reach into your cabinet and find something you already have.  The best DIY projects I can remember are the ones I didn’t have to spend much, or anything, on throwing together. However, you are also applying this to your skin, which is an organ!  I encourage you to pick the best, natural ingredients to help reduce your toxin load and ensure what you absorb into your skin is helping and not hurting you.

DIY Bath Salts Oats | the everyday home

Let’s talk about the rolled oats.   Oats are renowned for calming the body’s natural response to irritation, and an oatmeal bath is heavenly when you are experiencing this.  If you are planning on adding them to your bath salts, you need to grind them up first (you don’t want to have them clogging up your bathtub’s drain).  I used my food processor.  You can also use a blender for the oats, but it might take longer.  Even though it was more work, I’ve also got two little girls in my house with sensitive skin so I couldn’t resist this ingredient.  

Soothing Bath Salt Recipe:

Epsom salt 1 cup

Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt 1 TBSP

Baking Soda 1 TBSP

rolled oats ½ cup

Jojoba Oil ½ tsp

8 drops each of Young Living Essential Oil

First, if using rolled oats, place them in a food processor or a blender.  Keep pulsing them until they are ground up finely, and then let them stay in the food processor.

Add your other desired ingredients.  I ran the food processor for another 30 seconds to thoroughly mix all those oils into the salts.  Finally, pour them into your chosen glass container and you are finished!

DIY Chamomile Bath Salts | the everyday homeYou now have enough bath salts to fill a mason jar.  I wrapped a ribbon around mine and labeled it.  When using bath salts, measure according to the size of the person soaking in them. A larger amount for an adult (½ cup would be a good starting point) is okay.  If you are bathing a tiny person, use less (2 TBSP).  Hydrate a lot.  Drink water before using the bath salts, during your bath, and after your bath.  Lastly, don’t sit in an extremely hot bath until you are dizzy.  If you start to feel dizzy, drain the water, rinse off the salts, and get out carefully.  If you have a medical condition, blood pressure issues, are using medications, have open wounds or burns, or are pregnant, consult your doctor before using bath salts.  Always rinse off after soaking in bath salts.
