Soothing Salt Soak




We took this salt bath recipe from Gwenyth Paltrow's GOOP. It's a regular newsletter the actress pulls together with help from a wide variety of experts and features advice and ideas for mental and physical health, places to shop, travel and more. If you're interested in learning more or getting the newsletter yourself, check out goop.com.
The recipe for this salt bath comes from Adele Reising, an expert of Chinese medicine and home remiedies such as this. Adele says this salt bath is a healthy soak - providing minerals your body needs, the orange and lavendar help calm your nerves and release tension and the ginger warms your muscles and relieves pain, and the oil (or milk) acts as an emulsifying agent.
Here's what you need:
1 cup bath sea salt
1 tbsp almond oil or 2 tbsp whole milk
3 drops of sweet orange essential oil
3 drops of lavendar essential oil
1 - 2 drops of ginger essential oil
Mix together all of the ingredients and add to your next bath for a blissful bathing experience.
