A trip to the spa not in your budget? No worries. We’re sharing three ways to create your own oasis in the comfort of your home … err, bathtub. From crystal healing remedies to taking advantage of the household items you already have in your kitchen, see how you can unwind and relax with our DIY bath treatments.
1. Calming Milk Bath
Benefits: If you deal with itchy, dry skin, try adding milk (liquid or powder) to your next soak. The proteins, fats, and vitamins A and D found in milk can help replenish moisture in your skin. This at-home remedy can also soften and soothe irritated skin. The Wylde Grey touch: add a pinch of lemongrass oil to help fight bacteria. If you have severe skin problems, check with your doctor before taking a milk bath.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Fill the tub halfway with warm water
- Add 1 to 2 cups of milk (or powdered milk) recommended: whole, coconut, goat, rice, or soy
- Add 2–3 drops of lemongrass oil
- Mix ingredients with your foot
- Soak for 20 minutes
2. Soothing Apple Cider Vinegar Bath
Benefits: According to Healthline, apple cider vinegar (ACV) can help treat mild infections caused by common strains of bacteria. If you have dandruff, ACV can balance your scalp’s pH thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. The Wylde Grey touch: add Epsom salt to relieve achy joints.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Fill the tub halfway with warm water
- Add 1 to 2 cups of ACV if it’s your first time using ACV, start with ½ cup
- Add a scoop of Epsom salt
- Mix ingredients with your foot
- Soak for 20 minutes
3. Crystal and Magnesium Salt Soak
Benefits: Release negative energy and relax sore muscles with this ritual. Use pink Himalayan salt to detoxify and soothe your body. Place a black tourmaline crystal (protective stone that blocks negativity) or an amethyst crystal (known for healing) in the middle of your tub. Add fresh herbs like rosemary or sage for an extra layer of ancient wellness wisdom. Upgrade your soak with magnesium flakes for full-body muscle relief. The Wylde Grey touch: take a few deep breaths and visualize tension melting away.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- Fill the tub halfway with warm water
- Add a scoop of pink Himalayan salt and/or a cup of magnesium flakes
- Place your crystal of choice in the middle of the tub
- Add herbs (like rosemary or sage)
- Soak for 20 minutes
