Afternoon eKa CIRCLE
This afternoon I tried my hand at making some orange rosemary bath salts. The idea bounced after I made some fruit and vegetable juice for our breakfast. I was looking at the orange rind sliced from 3 or 4 oranges and it smelled so great that I decided to pop them in the dehydrator for a few hours and see what I might be able to use them for! I’ve been experimenting with bath salts to assist with light activation for a while now. You can find another recipe on this blog for one that I scent with frankincense oil.
After about 4 hours the orange rind was nice and dry. You can probably dry them out on a tray in the oven too if you are able to set at a very low temperature, the rind should be dry but not coloured. Then I blitzed the orange rind to a powder in my vitamix (any high powered blender will do). I stored the remainder of the orange rind powder in a glass jar to use for other projects. See the recipe below for this lovely addition to your bathroom.

Orange Rosemary Bath Salts

10 drops of orange essential oil
10 drops of cinnamon essential oil
6 drops clove essential oil
Mix the orange rind powder, rosemary, salt and epsom salt to combine. Add the essential oils and stir well. Pour into airtight coloured glass bottles to store, a funnel makes this easier.
Add a tablespoon of the bath salts to your bath water to enjoy the aromatherapy and activate your cells.
