There is nothing quite like a relaxing, quiet bath to help drown out the stress of the day. Adding farm-grown herbs and flowers to your bath simply ups the ante and makes for a a luxurious journey to relaxation and calm.
But just how do you best use farm-grown herbs in your bath salts to help you relax? Read along to find out.
Benefits of Farm-Grown Herb Bath Salts
All of our farm-grown herbal bath salt options are intended to make your bath experience extra-special, to deepen relaxation, ease muscle tension, and nourish your skin.
The base of all of our bath salt recipes is USA made, fragrance-free epsom salts. Epsom salts are intended to help muscles relax, reduce inflammation, and relieve muscle and joint pain. Not a salt, its a naturally occurring mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate.
Each of our farm-grown herbal bath salts are configured with a specific desire in mind:
- Relax: comprised of lavender buds harvested from our farm, this formula is designed to reduce inflammation and increase relaxation.
- Love: a mixture of rose petals, spearmint, and lemon balm, contains skin boosting antioxidants.
- Soothe: full of oats and dried calendula petals. Oats calm dry skin and rashes, while the powerful healing herb, calendula, contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties.
- Winter Solstice: boasting the best of the winter season, pine needles soothe away pain and inflammation, alongside juniper berries that ease stiffness.

How to Soak in Farm-Grown Herbal Bath Salts
We suggest adding about 1/4 cup of bath salt mixture to your bath or foot soak water until you are just about to step in. This will allow you bask in the aroma of the essential oils that are found in some of our herbal bath salts.
Included with each of our glass jars of farm-grown herbal bath salts is a cotton bag. Use this to enjoy the healing benefits of the herbs and flowers without the mess in your bath water.
The cotton bag can be reused over and over again. Simply toss the wet herbs and flowers into your compost bin and rinse the bag clean. It can be thrown in the washing machine but we would recommend you wash it on a very gentle cycle or by hand. Rinsing your bag between uses and allowing it to air dry is really all that it needs.
To reap the benefits of the salts and herbs, soak for at least 20 minutes.
Comparing our Bath Salts to Store-Bought
If you are looking at price, those bath salts you can buy at the store will win every time.
However, many bath salts contains unnecessary and skin-irritating fragrances that might have the opposite effect of creating a luxurious moment of relaxation.
Our bath salts are made using herbs and flowers grown and harvested from our farm. Our farm does not use pesticides or other conventional synthetic chemicals to treat pests, fungi, or weeds. With this knowledge you can feel reassured that when you purchase bath salts from us, we are helping you treat your skin with love and intention.
You can purchase our farm-grown herbal bath salts on our online store.
