This calendula and mint herbal bath salt is soothing to the skin and smells absolutely amazing! It is wonderful when made with fresh herbs, but can also be made with dried herbs for longer storage.
Put the salt and herbs into a food processor (a mini one works great for this).
Pulse the food processor several times to grind up the herbs and blend them together with the salt.
After a few pulses the herbs will be in small pieces.
To use, simply add the herbal bath salt to warm bathwater. Use any amount of bath salt that you prefer up to one cup.
Notes
If you use fresh herbs the bath salt is best used immediately or within a few days.
The salt can be stored in an open container for up to a few days, stirring occasionally. The salt will draw the moisture from the fresh herbs and they will begin to dry over time.
If you use dried herbs the bath salt can be stored in a jar with a lid and will keep for many months or longer.
To avoid the herbs floating around the tub, put the bath salt in a muslin bag before adding it to the bath. This is also a great way to package it for a gift.
