Smelly Salts

This week I decided to make Smelly Salts. I've been researching these for a few weeks. I wanted to make some out of salt, and others out of unscented aroma beads. I've ordered some beads but haven't made those yet. THESE salts are made out of a rock salt/sea salt mix, with added essential oils. I also added a bit of oil-soluble coloring but it's not necessary.These are pretty simple to make at home, and have some great uses. I put them into small organza bags and they seem to work great. I'll be interested to see how long they last before needing more oils. I really loved the one for sinuses! A friend came over and needed it so I sent it home with him! LOL I'll be making more this week.

When the smell runs out, I can add new oils to refresh them. You can also throw the salts into a hot bath when the smell is running out. This is a great way to get a therapeutic bath! To use, you simply hold the small bag in your hands and deeply inhale for about 3-5 minutes. These are very strong. Do not press them against your face – but hold in front of the nose/mouth and just breathe deeply.

Headache – Contains Peppermint, Rosemary and Tea Tree essential oils.

Sinus – Contains Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Clary Sage, and Sweet Basil essential oils.

Stress – Contains Lavender, Chamomile, Patchouli and Cedarwood essential oils.

Sleep – Contains Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Sweet Orange, and Sandalwood.

If you aren't up to making them yourself, many of these items are available on my ETSY site located at KYGypsyMama. If you are local, just order directly through me. The ETSY site does charge shipping which is necessary when I ship these to other areas. If you can pick-up locally, I do not charge shipping. The ETSY site does allow you to pay with PayPal.

Perhaps you've seen something like this at a drug store or online? You can buy a similar product called "inhalation beads" for headaches online through Amazon. I researched the ingredients thoroughly before making my all natural product.  Using the salts is a great alternative and keeps it all natural. Also, I kind of like that I could just empty these into the bath as well!

I'll post soon about the actual aroma beads once I make those! I'll also be posting about my all natural, therapeutic bath salts very soon. Stay tuned!

Blessings,
