These peppermint Epsom salts make such a great gift. Quick, easy, and inexpensive to make! We have turned them into Epsom salt gems which look so pretty in a jar or displayed in a bowl. Simply pop one or two into your tub of water for a festive bath.
I personally love to use these for soaking my feet. Put one in a bowl or bin big enough for your feet, add warm water, and soak. Not only do I find it refreshing but it helps to eliminate foot odor too.
