The ingredients are easy to find and the mud is simple to make.
Ingredients:
2 cups Borax
3 cups Epsom salts
1 cup coarse sea salt
½ cup baking soda
½ cup Bentonite white clay
1 cup dried lavender
20 drops lavender essential oil
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the borax, salts, baking soda and clay. Then mix in the dried lavender, stirring with a wire whisk.
2. Scent the mixture with the oil, mixing well with the whisk. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and leave overnight to fix the scent into the ingredients.
3. In the morning, thoroughly mix again for 3-5 minutes and package in big mason jars, zip-lock bags or muslin bags.
4. Add ½ cup of the mixture to a tubful of hot, filtered water.
5. Give the Healing Mud to a good therapeutic masseuse and have him or her massage it into the skin of the afflicted areas. Leave on for 15 minutes, then hop into a bath of the mixture.
