DIY Adaptiv Bath Salts
This past year and a half has been stressful for so many of us…
During this time, I have been profoundly grateful for the natural tools that have made managing my emotional health easier.
The truth is, self-care can take so many forms. For me it has been changing my priorities, spending time with the people I love, and being in nature. But I also lean on my natural toolbox! During 2020 I made so many new recipes and use so many oils I didn’t realize I needed.
Adaptiv essential oil blend was one of them.
At the height of the pandemic, I was feeling really stressed, anxious and unsure. It was challenging. I don’t know if I have ever felt so out of sorts before.
One day I instinctively made these simple Adaptiv bath salts and for those moments in the bath- and for the few hours afterwards - I felt like a more balanced version of myself. I want to share the recipe because it’s easy to make, helpful and would also make a beautiful gift!
Adaptiv Bath Salts
Today’s recipe smells beautiful and feels good, but it is also a mood balancing DIY that you will love. The oils in this blend help ease stress, manage anxious feelings and balance your mood naturally. I hope you create these and experience the profound effects for yourself. This recipe is fantastic for anyone who experiences stress.
For this recipe, you will only need 3 ingredients:
A small glass jar (I used an 8oz jar for this recipe)
Epsom salts
Normally when I made bath salts I recommend a few different oils to put into them. But for this particular recipe, you only need 1 blend by doTERRA because it is exceptionally strong.
This blend was actually created to help parents who have children with attention and focus issues. Not only does it helpful for focus and attention - it is also fabulous for stress, anxious feelings and moodiness. I use it constantly. I actually have many other recipes just using this 1 single blend, so if you purchase it, please reach out to me and ask! I use it in my essential oil diffuser, wear it on my heart as a personal fragrance and so much more.
How to make:
In your small glass jar, fill 3/4 with epsom salts. Pour in 10 drops of Adaptiv blend, cover and shake thoroughly to distribute the essential oil into the salts. Then, fill the rest with epsom salts.
When it’s time for your Adaptiv Bath, pour in 1 cup bath salts and enjoy!
You might be wondering, why do the essential oils in Adaptiv help with focus, mood and anxious feelings?
Rosemary….. Rosemary has long been studied for its effects on focus, motivation and attention. Using Rosemary (in the diffuser, inhaling it or even bathing with Rosemary-infused bath salts) can help you see things clearly and bring things into focus. I use Rosemary when I am feeling confused, unclear, frustrated or if I am having difficulty adjusting to changing circumstances.
Copaiba….. Copaiba is known as “The oil of Unveiling”. Copaiba is helpful for support when you have body discomfort and/or anxious thoughts. I use Copaiba all the time (in my tea, for example) to help me eliminate brain fog. In this blend, Copaiba teams up with other essential oil powerhouses to ease your stress and balance your mentality! I use Copaiba when i’m scattered, unfocused, or even feeling shame about something. Copaiba is an oil that helps us to feel okay with who we are and our own worthiness.
Lavender….. Lavender is calming. I recommend Lavender for stress and also if you struggle with sleep! In this blend, Lavender provides a soothing and healing nurturing support.
Neroli….. Neroli is the warm, nurturing hug you need right now. It is the essential oil that wraps you into its arms and tells you that everything is going to be okay. I love Neroli, on its own but especially in this powerful blend. Neroli has a sweet aroma and a calming, balancing effect on the mind.
Spearmint….. Spearmint empowers us to be bold and communicate. Perhaps there is something holding us back or something on our mind we are afraid to express. Spearmint can help us to speak our truth. It is motivating and refreshing aromatically.
Magnolia….. Magnolia is another calming force. Magnolia oil might be expected to be sweet and floral…but it is actually rather fruity and citrusy! Magnolia essential oil is a beautiful surprise. In this blend, Magnolia brings together the nurturing powers of the Neroli with the calming effects of the Lavender and Copaiba.
Wild Orange….. This is the oil of abundance and limitless possibilities. Wild Orange makes us feel like we are capable, strong and courageous. Wild Orange is in this blend to lift us up and encourage us along the way.
