MARLA'S THERAPUDIC BATH SOAK
When you need to relax after a long day, make it a fabulous soak in this Therapudic Bath Soak.
2 cups whole Oatmeal--see below on how to prepare.
2 cups Epson Salts
1/2 cup Baking Soda
10 drops Frankinsence Essential Oil
15 drops Lavender Essential Oil
10 drops Melaluka Essential Oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix all the above ingrediantes in a large bowl.
Have a slection of clean used panty hose or knee hi socks.
Fill a one cup measuring cup about 2/3's full and place opening of clean hose over the cup.
Tie off one end if other side is enclosed. If both sides are open then tie the first side , fill, and tie second side.
Preparing The Oatmeal
Old fashioned Oatmeal
Grind in a small grinder. I do 1/2 cup at a time. It will look like a fine flour. A small nut or coffee grinder works fine.
The Finished Product
Placing the mixture in a nylon type sock prevents the oatmeal from clogging the drain. Everything else melts as you fill the tub and you receive the benifit of the oatmeal while keeping it out of the drain. Old nylon panty hose or knee hi socks work great. Remember to tie off any holes.
This is extremly relaxing and helps our tired sore muscles relax after a hard day on the homestead. All essential oils are from www.youngliving/floridagypsy

I was concerned there thinking you had to empty it thinking you would get oats Everywhere :.o, I can't have anything in my baths as it causes Me a few problems. Sounds lovely though :)
No, you just throw away the sack and the oats go with it. What about a bath salt made from Epson Salts, baking soda and Sea Salt ? You could leave the essential oils out or use one of the oils that are mild enough for small children like lemon grass or lavender.
Yeah might give that a go, my baths are so boring. Got to clean he bath out thoroughly after the girls have been in with the bath bombs
The ones I make for my family I use only the purest salts and buy the oils from the website above. Young Living only uses the herbs one time through the distilling processing, so they are pure and strong. Then you can just use a drop or two and still get the benefits. They are also pure enough for cooking and there is a whole dietary line. My website is listed above and you can look around and see what is there. Amazing company with high standards and excellent products. www.youngliving/floridagypsy is the address. enroller/sponcer number is 3565508. Our whole family is highly alergetic. I make all our soaps, cleanners, bubble bath that has no artificial anything, etc. I do classes regularly on how to make it so you don't have to worry about what is left in the tub each time. We have nothing with chemicals in the house. We just can't take any chances. No artificial colors or scents either. So far it is working well for us. Healthier also.
Briliant, I will take a look thank you :)
