Relaxing with a soothing, aromatic flower bath salt recipe that you can make yourself can be a rewarding solution to your daily stress. If that doesn’t fit your fancy there are many other food staples, herbs, and essential oils that help you find the perfect solution so you can find your way to reducing stress, anxiety and living healthy.

• Steaming your face
• Nourishing your skin
• Soothing sore muscles

A bathe should be more that a simple body-cleansing ritual it should be your private time of energizing, relaxing, soothing your mind and body.

There are many simple and natural remedies and ingredients to reduce stress that you can add to your bath water — many are simple kitchen staples such as:

• Raw Milk and cream — contains Vitamin D which is an antioxidant and helps skin growth — contains lactic acid, helps to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells
• Dry dairy and soy milk powder
• Almond and oatmeal — a wonderful way to exfoliate the skin
• Raw honey
• Sea Salt and Epsom salt —  (sea salt benefits your entire body with its many healing properties) (Epsom salt can help the body replenish magnesium levels, soothes aching muscles, reduces swelling, helps heal bruises,  helps detoxify the body and can help strengthen the immune system)
• Baking soda — helps to soften water and soothe your skin
• Green tea  — soothes sore muscles and rashes, is loaded with antioxidants to rid the body of toxins, and relaxes you
• Herbs and essential oils — such as peppermint tea or fresh leaves, Chamomile tea and dried flowers, homemade organic rose water, lavender  — they all have their own unique health and healing properties.
• Oranges and lemons — wonderful calming aroma that invigorates your skin, lemons will help to brighten the skin and is filled with antioxidants to fight disease and support the immune system.
• Organic raw apple cider vinegar  — make sure it organic raw apple cider vinegar that has not been distilled or pasteurized. Organic contains higher amounts of phytonutrients that promotes good health for the whole body and when added to your bath helps tone and firm the skin, relieves dryness, removes skin flakiness, soothes it rashes and itchiness, and has anti-inflammatory properties to heal the body.
