Ingredients:  
½ c chopped fresh green herbs and leaves, loosely packed
½ c Epsom salt
1 Tbsp baking soda
Few drops each of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils
Reusable tea bag or a 12 x 12- inch square of plain muslin cloth, plus string for tying ( optional)

Directions:
Using a small food processor, coarsely blend the fresh leaves and Epsom salts together. Spread the salt and herb mixture out on a sheet of waxed paper & allow to air dry for 1 to 2 days. The salt works to quickly pull moisture from the leaves and the needles, preserving the bright green color of fresh herb. In a small mixing bowl, combine the dried herb salts and baking soda. Stir in the few drops of each of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils. Pour into a small jar or to make after-bath cleanup easier, tie the bath salts up in a reusable tea bag or a 12" x 12“ square of plain muslin cloth.
To use, pour the loose bath salts into warm bath water, or drop the bag in while the water is running. Enjoy a rejuvenating bath!
