BATH Salts – For KIDS

HEALING BATH SALTS

Occasionally, when the kids aren’t feeling well, I put some bath salts into their bath. I found that it speeds up recovery, making them feel better and helps them sleep. Many bath products for children can be full of unwanted ingredients, which can have a negative effect on their health. That is not very beneficial when they are already fighting a cold.

I began making bath salts out of Himalayan Sea Salt and Epsom Salt to help them relax in the warm tub. I noticed that they would feel better after the bath and recover quicker.

*Add more or less sunflower oil to desired consistency. I like mine pretty dry, that way the tub does not get too slippery for the kids. You can also use grapeseed oil, almond oil or olive oil, depending on your preference.

HOW TO USE

Add about 1-2 tablespoons of bath salt mixture to the bathtub, depending on preference. I do not recommend for children under the age of 1 year. Essential oils can be too strong for infants.
