    There is nothing better than a soak in the bath after a long or emotionally exhausting day. To help decompress and relax, I like to add a good helping of epsom salts to my bath and soak in it for at least 20 minutes.

    You can keep the salts simple or add dried organic flowers like lavender, rose, or chamomile along with a few drops of corresponding essential oil.

        Epsom salts have minerals like magnesium which will help your sore muscles and relax you. You can find them in any pharmacy.
