Chamomile Bath Salts

How to make DIY Chamomile Bath Salts

Chamomile is a lovely herbal flower, famous for calming upset tummies and gently inducing a sleepy state at bedtime.

Something lesser known about it, is that it’s also a great ingredient choice to include in soothing skincare products.

Today, we’re going to talk about how to include chamomile flowers in these super easy to make bath salts.

Ingredients

To print this recipe, scroll down until you see a green Print Friendly button.

  • 1/2 cup Epsom salt
  • about 1/4 cup fresh chamomile flowers *
  • optional: a few yellow flower petals for added natural color (I used pansies)

*If you don’t have fresh chamomile flowers, you can use dried flowers instead. The bath salts will have a much different texture and look to them, but the benefits will be the same.

Step 1

Place the Epsom salt and fresh flowers in a mini food processor (THIS is the kind I have).

And that’s it!

When ready to use, dump the bath salts into a cotton muslin bag (like THESE) or tie them up in a clean sock.

Drop the bag/sock into warm running water and enjoy a relaxing bath!
