I ran over to the health food store and bought a few dried herbs like lavender, eucalyptus and some white willow bark powder which is exceptional for occasional muscle discomfort. While there I grabbed some Magnesium Chloride crystals to enhance the above blend. Epsom salt baths are great for many but since it contains sulfur my daughter cannot use Epsom salts. This is due to a gene that causes her to turn sulfur into sulfide so we use magnesium chloride flakes in place and they work awesome. My girls have tried out each of the balls below this week in their baths and they have come out smelling wonderful and their skin smooth, hydrated and soft.

Mix dry together first and then add the rest, if isn't molding well add little drops of water but not a lot to get it to mold. Then we had molds we put them in or make into balls. Let them dry and sit for 24 hours. I bought special bags for them since I was selling them and cut fabric for the ribbon.

Citric Acid? Where do you get that from?
ReplyDeleteThanks
They look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting on Wildcrafting Wednesdays!
In going to make some of these for gifts. Can I use regular coconut oil? If I make the recipe with the oil in liquid form, will there be any problems if it cools down and becomes solid? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Jinny, Yes you can use regular coconut oil, but you will want to use it while it is still in liquid form.
DeleteWhat is the Arrowroot powder for? I would like to make these but don't have any arrowroot. Can I substitute it for something else or leave it out? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteArrowroot is a starch thickener. You can use cornstarch in place of it if you would like :)
DeleteDo you have to use silicone molds, can I use regular muffin pans, etc...?
