A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.


Bath Salt Mixture for Cold and Flue Season

I get sick a lot and when I do there is nothing like a hot bath to make it all better. This bath salt solution is perfect to add to the tub to help break up congestion, soothe headaches and help you relax. I suggest doing this right before bed when you are fighting a cold or flue.

Materials:
Glass jar (to hold mixture)
A cup or sea salt or epson salt your choice
A drop or eucalyptus
A drop of basil
A drop of fennel
A drop of lavender oil
A tablespoon of sesame oil of jojoba oil

* other optional essential oil ideas to throw into the mixture:
cinnamon, oregano,lemon

In the glass jar combine ingredients and mix throughly together. Stir into hot bath water and enjoy! Store remaining in an airtight container.
