English Mustard Bath

Abby Girl's Note:

When I want a good night sleep or have gone through a period of insomia or stress, I will use this mixture. Mustard is known for it's stiulating and cleansing qualities. The warmth of the mustard helps open pours and allows you to sweat out impurities. The baking soda sooths and softens dry skin. This recipe can be used for footbath, to help with circulation

Lovely! I doubled up on the essential oils; I like to saturate the room with aroma! Otherwise, the measurements worked well for me. I'll be making more of this one for sure. Thanks for posting, Abby Girl!
