  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Water to thin mixture (if needed)

  • A few drops of essential oils (optional)

  • 1/2 cup of baking soda
  • 1/3 cup Epsom salt
  • the contents of 2 orange tea bags
  • 5 drops of orange essential oil.

  • 2 cup Epsom Salts
  • ¼ cup Coconut Oil (heated to liquid)
