Ready to recreate a little With Love, Meghan energy at home? Here’s how.

Equipment

Silk tea bags (to keep dried flowers separate from salt)
Airtight containers or jars for storage

Ingredients

2 cups Epsom salts
Optional: sea salt
Optional: coarse Himalayan pink salt
10-15 drops arnica oil (or more, depending on desired strength)
10-15 drops of essential oil (lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, etc. for fragrance)
Optional: dried flowers or herbs (such as lavender buds or fresh rosemary)
Optional: Himalayan pink sea salt

Method

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Epsom salts and sea salt (if using). Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the arnica oil to the dry mixture. Start with 10 drops and mix thoroughly. You can add more drops if you prefer a stronger scent or more potent effect.
Add your chosen essential oil(s) to the mixture. Again, start with 10 drops and mix thoroughly. Adjust the number of drops based on your preference for scent strength.
If you are adding dried flowers or herbs, place them in silk bags and set aside.
Transfer the bath salts into airtight containers or jars. Add the silk bags of flowers or herbs to the jar. (This allows the user to place the silk bag directly in the bath and then remove it, so they won’t have to clean the bath later.) Label the jars with the contents and date.
To use, add 1/2 to 1 cup of the bath salts to warm bath water along with the silk bag of flowers/herbs. Stir the water to help the salts dissolve. Soak in the bath for at least 20 minutes to enjoy the benefits.
