Hormone Balancing Rose Bath Salts

My Hormone Balancing DIY Rose Bath Salt Recipe

Salt baths are great for much more than just relaxation. This recipe provides soothing magnesium to relax tense muscles and homegrown rose petals to reduce skin irritation and support hormone health in women.

A bubble bath with these rose bath salts has become my go-to self care, especially near the end of my cycle. Roses have been traditionally used in the treatment of women’s hormonal imbalances to reduce PMS symptoms and even improve general reproductive health. Current research confirms what traditional herbalists have known for hundreds of years; the smell of roses has significantly beneficial effects on a woman’s cycle. A study from the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetric found that aromatherapy with rose essential oil for as little as 5 minutes daily was sufficient to yield improvements in PMS symptoms. The researchers initiated the aromatherapy treatments after ovulation to achieve the best results.

Roses are also traditionally used as aphrodisiacs, so it’s no wonder that they’re the most popular flower to gift on Valentine’s Day. Research published in the Journal of  Pharmacopsychiatry confirmed that rose is highly effective at improving sexual arousal, orgasms and overall sexual satisfaction in women.

After experimenting with a few different ratios I’ve finally perfected my hormone-helping rose bath recipe. Ladies, I highly suggest that you try this easy DIY rose bath for yourself, especially during the second half of your cycle.
