GIVE MOM A WELL-DESERVED BREAK THAT CAN ALSO IMPROVE HER HEALTH
Kids Can Make Custom Bath Crystals, and Moms Will Appreciate The Well-Deserved Break
(April 2010) -- With Mother’s Day approaching, here’s a fun gift that kids can make and that Moms would really appreciate: custom bath crystals. They’re easy to make, they give Mom a well-deserved break and her relaxing soak might even help improve her health.
Here’s the recipe:
- Mix two cups of Epsom Salt with a few drops of fragrance (an essential oil like peppermint, lavender or vanilla works great).
- If you’d like, add a few drops of food coloring or 1/2 TSP of glycerin, which you can get in supermarkets or pharmacies in the health and beauty care section.
- Place the crystals in an air-tight glass jar, have your child draw a nice label or make one on the computer, and attach a ribbon.

About Epsom salt
Epsom salt – actually magnesium sulfate – has been used therapeutically for hundreds of years, and it’s gaining a new generation of fans looking for a safe, economical alternative in a sea of expensive, over-the-counter remedies. Epsom salt is one of the most versatile household products, with uses ranging from creating at-home spa treatments to soothing achy muscles to helping start or improve gardens. It’s easy to use, easy to find in your local pharmacy or grocery store and it costs about the same per use as a cup of coffee.
