Add essential oil to salt and mix well. Next, add dried herbs and stir to combine. Fill each tea bag with approximately 4oz of this aromatherapy bath salt recipe mixture. Package the bags individually and use plastic to seal it. This will prevent the scent from leaking out. To use, simply toss one bag into warm bath water. As the tea bag seeps the salts will melt and the fragrance from the essential oils and herbs will disperse. When done, throw the tea bag away.
