Soak away your worries with this refreshing mineral bath.

Mix together 2 tablespoons of sea salt, 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1½ teaspoons of borax. Add 5 drops of lavender and 5 drops of orange essential oils and mix well. Pour the mixture into the bath under running water. Make sure the salts are completely dissolved and that the oils are evenly dispersed.

Suggested variations: You can make a relaxing bath by replacing the orange essential oil with Roman chamomile, sandalwood or patchouli.
