Learn how to make these healing bath cookies using sea salts to detox, oils to moisturize the skin and essential oils for aromatherapy.

5 tablespoons ground flax seeds (or 2 eggs)
6 tablespoons water
2 cups sea salt (finely ground)
1/2 cup _baking soda
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons oil (see Hints)
1 teaspoon _vitamin E_oil
5 drops essential oil
Optional ingredients: Flower petals, small dried flowers, citrus peel, herbs, ginger
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix the ground flax seeds with water and stir until the mix becomes gelatinous. If using eggs instead, omit the water and whisk until mixed. Add the rest of the ingredients and combine to create dough. Shape dough into teaspoon size balls and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for ten minutes or until golden.
Drop two cookies in the tub and let dissolve. Makes 24 cookies.
HELPFUL HINTS: You can use any light oil, but the following oils are particularly well suited for skin: Avocado (very rich), almond, apricot kernel (great for sensitive skin), coconut, grapeseed (the least greasy), and olive. You can mix and match them too!
