Sports soak: mustard bath

I’m kinda a bit of a jock: gym rat, yoga fanatic, dance-lover, hikes for miles. I’m always sore from something. These bath salts were a stroke of inspiration years ago when I’d overdone it and injured myself— I think I’d torn my LCL or something like that— and I couldn’t get comfortable in my body because my knee just ached constantly. I made a bath salt blend that would soothe the pain, relax the muscles, and start to help with healing.

Years later, I’m still making them, and using them all the time. They’re not just good for sports injuries, they work for any kinds of aches and pains:

overdid it? Sports soak.

Low back sore from standing all day? Sports soak.

Joints hurt? Try a sports soak :).

It’s deeply soothing, relaxing, pain-relieving, and it smells divine.

Add to a hot bath and soak for as long as needed. 

Ingredients: Mustard seed, dead sea salts, Epsom salts, pedicularis densiflora, populus fremontii, essential oil blend including frankincense, cedar, eucalyptus, peppermint, rosemary.
