How to Make Bath Oil for Sore Muscles

When you're achy, it's wonderful to draw a nice hot bath. With the right bath oil, you can soak the aches away much better. You'll also smooth and soften your skin at the same time! Try this bath oil when you're tired and sore and you'll see the difference.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 cup honey
• 2 cups plain milk (use any but whole milk will seem richer)
• 1 cup salt (you can use sea salt)
• 1/4 cup baking soda (the cheapest brand is fine)
• 1/2 cup Baby oil (go cheap here, too)
• 1 tablespoon oil of peppermint (find this at all health food stores and some drug stores)

1. Mix all ingredients except the peppermint oil in a large bowl. Stir until well blended.
2. Turn on the tub and begin to fill it. Make sure the water is as hot as is comfortable. Pour the mixture into the tub under the running water. Get fancy with a glass of wine, some candles and some great music if you like.
3. When the bath is almost done pour in the peppermint oil. Now get in and soak. Relax. Stay in the tub until the water gets too cool to be comfortable.
4. Notice how good your muscles feel when you get out. You can expect to sleep really well afterwards, too.
