Natural salt has the proper balance of minerals, calcium, and magnesium. Combine it with water and the negatively charged ions support electrical, hormonal, and chemical balances. With this in mind, soaking in salts sounds like a great idea, right? Hence, I’ll give you even more reasons to jump on board with DIY bath salt shots.

The Magick of Salt

There are many superstitions linked to salt. It should be the first item laid on the dinner table and the last to be removed. To ward off bad luck, throw salt over your left shoulder. It’s been used since the beginning of time for its purifying and protective qualities.

Enchanters use this crystal to divine the future, ward off negativity, and invoke deities.

Sea salts are mineral-rich and contain a whole family of minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium. The amniotic fluid that has developed our beings inside the womb is the same mineral composition as the ocean.

When those minerals impart on the surface of the skin, there is a very synergistic exchange promoting healing which speeds the recovery process for cuts & wounds.

When absorbed through the skin, sea salt replenishes lost minerals cosmetically. This means they can reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging.

As a practicing witch, I have a habit of enchanting, well, almost everything. However, if you’re not down with the thought of witchcraft, then bless it instead!

Spoiler alert…it’s the same thing!

Close your eyes and open your crown chakra. Imagine a bright, liquid light – whatever color you wish – coming down from the divine and flowing into your crown chakra.

Cup the properties in your hands and hold them close to your mouth. Breathe in slowly through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

On every inhalation imagine breathing in the color of the divine light. On every exhale imagine the same color forming a cloud around the correspondences. Do this nine times while mentally stating your intention.

Bath time alone is wonderful for our health as the warm water helps to get cardiovascular and respiratory systems working together. Warm water can increase serotonin and make our human bodies release the tension.

I used glass tubes because they are plastic-free and I’m an environmentalist. They are reusable for other projects or more bath salts.

Once all the ingredients are enchanted and mixed together, I tube them up. I pour a tube (or two) into the bathtub while it is filling with water. While the salt dissolves, the magical aroma fills the room. Now, slide into the tub and spiritually cleanse your booty!
