Epsom salts help to ease achy muscles and relieve stress. When we’re stressed or anxious, our bodies pump out adrenaline. That adrenaline depletes the body of magnesium. But, we need magnesium to raise our serotonin, which helps us relax.
Lavender helps reduce stress and anxiety. It also helps with headaches and menstrual cramps. I used to make a lavender sheet spray and I’d spray it on the sheets before going to bed. The aroma can help with stress and insomnia.
Step 1: Place 1 part dried lavender and 2 parts Epsom salt in a small jar. Step 2: Seal and shake the jar vigorously to fully incorporate the ingredients. It's That Simple!
