An Epsom salt bath will soothe sore muscles, but you can bump the effects a notch or two by adding botanicals. Medicinal plants, flowers, and oils have been used in baths for thousands of years. The beneficial properties of the botanicals are released into the warm water, and our body’s largest organ, our skin, absorbs the benefits.
Jules Aron provides 6 bath blends to help:
- soothe menstrual cramps
- fight off fatigue
- relieve headaches
- reduce anxiety
- overcome grief
- elevate feelings of love
Taking one of these warm baths is a good way of taking care of yourself. Spending 15 minutes soaking in aromatic and soothing warm water may help soothe what’s ailing your body or mind. Another way to help relieve stress and bring joy to your life is to grow a garden and don’t forget journaling.
