Egyptian Silk Milk Bath

(from the book Natural Soapmaking by Marie Browning)

1cup instant powdered skim milk
1 tablespoon powdered orris root
3/4 c sea salt (she states If you can find Dead Sea salts, they are an elegant, exotic addition)
10 drops jasmine oil
7 drops ylang ylang oil
5 drops bergamot oil

Place the salts in a large bowl and mix well. Scoop out about 1/2 cup in small bowl. add the drops of oil and coloring to the salts in the small bowl and mix well. Add the blended mixture to the large bowl a little at a time until you are pleased with the color strength. Pour your salts in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.

To use draw a warm bath and add 1/4 cup of the fragrant salts to the running water. Hop in and relax, inhailing deeply to experience the soothing qualities of aromatherapy.
