Soothing Bath Oils

Recipe #1

1 cup honey
2 cups milk
1 cup sea salt
1/4 cup baking soda
1/2 cup baby oil
Fragrance oil of desired scent

Combine honey, milk, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
Fill your tub and pour the mixture in.
Add the baby oil and a few drops of the fragrance.

Recipe #2:

1 whole egg
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup baby or mineral oil
1/4 cup whole fresh milk
2 teaspoons liquid soap or dishwashing liquid
1/4 cup vodka
Fragrant oil (optional)

Mix all ingredients in a blender for 30 seconds.
Use only one or two tablespoons of this oil in a bathtub of water.

OR, try this...

Turkey-red oil (a derivitave of castor oil) acts as an emulsifying agent for other oils so they won't coat your skin or the tub.
Mix 3 parts turkey-red oil to 1 part fragrance oil.
Add a few drops to your bath.

Instant Bath Salts

1 cup sea salt
1 cup epsom salt
1 cup baking soda

Add a little of the mixture to your tub for a revitalizing bath.
For bubbles, just add 1 cup of shampoo.
For a nice scent, add a few drops of fragrance oil.

Earth Bath Salts

1/2 cup epsom salts
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup rock salt
1/2 tsp vitamin E
2 tsp light oil (almond, sunflower...)
20 drops Patchouli essential oil
15 drops Cypress essentail oil
5 drops Vetivert essential oil
Green Food coloring

Mix all salts & baking soda together.
Then combine oil, essential oils, vitamin E & a few drops of coloring in a seperate bowl.
Add liquid to salts and mix thoroughly.
You can add more green food colouring if desired, but I find it nicer when it's a very light green as it does not look as artificial.
To use: Add a few heaping tablespoons to bath.

Bubble Bath

2 cups soap flakes or grated soap
1 gallon water
1/4 - 1/2 cup glycerin
2 cups shampoo or liquid dishwashing detergent
Scented oil of your choice

Mix the soap flakes, water and 2 tbsp glycerin in a pot and set over low heat, stirring occasionally until the soap has dissolved.
(This liquid soap can be stored in a covered container and used as an all-purpose soap or hand soap in the kitchen.)
In a bowl, add 2 cups of this mixture to the rest of the glycerin, shampoo and add a few drops of your scented oil.
Put into a quart container and store covered at room temperature.
When you're ready to bathe, add about one cup to your tub as it's filling.

Herbal Bath

Add herbs to your tub by either making an infusion of them
(see How to make and use herb preparations)
and adding directly to the bath water, or putting the herbs into a muslin bag and tie it directly under the tap as the water is running.
You can also add scented oil to the mixture if you want to.

Here are a few ideas for herbs to use:

Chamomile - soothing and cleansing
Comfrey - rejuvinating
Lovage - deodorizing and cleansing
Lady's mantle - soothes skin irritation
Black tea - relieving sunburn pain
Mint - soothing and relaxing
Lavender - relaxing and aromatic

Recipe 1

Mix 1 part citric acid (you can get this at a pharmacy)
2 1/4 parts baking soda.
