The use: Make a DIY salt-and-tea mix to relax in the bathtub.
DIY it: My favorite use for Epsom salts is in the bath. Epsom salts are high in magnesium, which helps the body produce serotonin — an important way of creating relaxation and calmness. The magnesium in Epsom salts is also important because it minimizes the affects of adrenaline on the body. When we are under stress, our bodies get flooded with adrenaline, which can wreak havoc on our bodies over time, so it is important to lessen the damage whenever possible. I love making DIY bath salts with Epsom salts, some tea leaves, and 5-10 drops of lavender or rosemary essential oils added to the bath water to make the bath even more calming." — Clara Williams, aesthetician and founder of Cultivar
