With the Sun in Virgo, the sign of the healer, and with Mercury, its ruling planet, also in Virgo, this is a great time for spells related to healing and well-being. Here is one of my favorite healing bath salt recipes.

In a bowl, mix:

1½ cups Epsom salt

1½ cups coarse sea salt Then add these oils:

2 drops lemon essential oil

3 drops rosemary essential oil

3 drops peppermint essential oil

6 drops lavender essential oil

6 drops eucalyptus essential oil

Stir the mixture together thoroughly while saying:

Like the spinning of a wheel,

I stir in powers that can heal.

Store the salt in a small Mason jar. When you’re ready to take your bath, add a handful or two of the salt to the tub water and say:

I conjure forth a bath of healing

To improve how I am feeling.

Soak in the tub, and when you are done, drain the water while chanting:

I wash away all the pain

As it goes down the drain.
