Lavender Bath Salts

Bath salts are incredibly easy to make and make for a relaxing bath.

Not only is the practice of having a bath relaxing: think warm bath, a movie playing and I am in my element but the Epsom salts used are made of magnesium which we know is relaxing for the nervous system and also works to physically calm muscles and aid the relaxation process.

Lavender essential oil has been shown in clinical trials to increase quantity of sleep and reduce levels of anxiety.
