It is funny to think back to our daily routine when I only had one child.  My, have things changed since then!  Certain things a mom of 4 just can’t keep up with were the things that caused so much stress when I was a new mom.  I would NEVER miss a nap time or tummy time.  At every meal, the baby wore a bib and ate off a baby plate with a matching spoon.  I don’t even own a bib anymore!

One thing that didn’t change much is our bedtime routine.  Bedtime is pretty important to me, and I’m hardly ever late for it!  Our bedtime routine is simple and to the point, but the kids know what to expect because it is consistent.

Essential oils play a big role in this. Each night I fill the diffusers with a calming oil or blend, we apply calming oils to the bottom of the feet (depending on everyone’s health and mood), and if it is bath night, we will add these calming bath salts.

Do you have a particular bedtime routine?  What are some things you do to help your child(ren) calm down before bed?

HOW TO USE YOUR CALMING BATH SALTS FOR KIDSTablespoon of homemade calming bath salts for kids next to a container of epsom salts.  

Add 1 tablespoon of calming bath salts to a warm bath.  It is best to pour the bath salts underneath the running water when filling the tub so they will dissolve quickly in the water.

Epsom salt is great for soothing muscles, reducing inflammation, and detoxing the body.  Adding essential oils adds aromatherapy benefits.

Mama, these bath salts can be for you too!  A warm bath soak with essential oils is the ultimate relaxer after a long day.

RELAXING BATH SALTS Adding essential oils to a jar of homemade bath salts.

Bath salts can make a perfect stocking stuffer, birthday gift, or Mother’s day gift! They are simple to make, practical, and loved by all. I mean, who doesn’t like a warm relaxing bath?

When you use essential oils in the bathtub, you are reaping the benefits from the oils topically and aromatically.  Essential oils can be helpful to help relax, clear the sinuses, soothe muscles, and so much more.

NOTE: Use the same recipe as above; just change the essential oils for each bath soak recipe.

CALMING BATH SALTS FOR KIDS INGREDIENTS 

  • 2 cup Epsom salt (this is the kind I use)
  • 1/2 cup sea salt ( my favorite is pink Himalayan )
  • 1/3 cup baking soda
  • 10 drops lavender essential oil
  • 8 drops wild orange essential oil
  • 3 drops Roman chamomile essential oil

CALMING BATH SALTS FOR KIDS INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Combine the salts and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Stir until mixed well.
  2. Add in the essential oils and stir until well incorporated. You can use less or more essential oil, depending on preference.  Remember, essential oils are very concentrated!
  3. Store in an airtight container.  I put mine in a glass mason jar and keep it underneath the bathroom sink.
