A great way to relax after a stressful day is with a bath soak. After today, I could definitely use this green tea and peppermint bath salt recipe! Nothing bad happened, but a lot of little things happened, and I just need a small break.
This bath soak recipe is easy to make. You can make this right before you need it or make a few batches to keep on the shelf. This also makes a great gift because who doesn't need to relax?
Taking a relaxing warm bath is a great way to relax by itself, but Epsom salts can also help you relax. When you are stressed, your body produces adrenaline that uses up your magnesium. The magnesium in the Epsom salts helps replenish your body's stores of this mineral. Most people are deficient in magnesium, but it does absorb through the skin during this soak.
Epsom salts can also calm your skin, so they are good to use if you have skin issues like psoriasis or eczema.
