This bath salt is very soothing and makes for a very relaxed bath.
And might I add, Epsom salts are excellent for helping with muscle ache and pain. I always have them handy. They've been used for years and years for therapeutic baths.

Problem is, to really get the best use for aches and pain, you have to use a good amount, at least a cup full. When I really ache from the myofascia or fibro, I use a LOT in my bath and soak for 20 minutes.

Nice idea Julie!

And DiMarie...can I be one of your best friends that you are giving those lovely gifts to?????
