Mustard bath sounds gross...at first it made me think of oily hot dog water with French's mustard but you must give it a sniff. I promise you will be hooked. Ground mustard seed poltices have been used for centuries to treat colds, coughs and other sickenesses. It actually doesn't smell at all like the yellow squirty stuff we associate with the word now...and it makes you feel so good.
Barefoot Venus's Mustard Bath always come in a cute tin but I adore this pretty new tin style that is refillable!
Perfect for the eco-conscious family that goes through pounds of this soul-soothing mix.
Over the years I'm sure I've blabbed the bliss of Kelowna-based Barefoot Venus's famous Mustard Bath many a times and it's something I love to give as gifts. We go through lots as everyone in our clan loves slipping into the tub with a big scoop of Mustard Bath salts on a chilly night or when they are feeling like a little comfort. I have a certain young hockey player who uses it after almost every practice or game and is known to turn on the bathtub jets and soak for a very long time.
I could attempt to explain it's appeal but I'll let the beauties from Barefoot Venus pass along the nitty-gritty...
Our signature product is an essential oil based bath soak that boasts anti-inflammatory properties, contains circulatory stimulants and a decongestant that naturally draws impurities from your skin. Whether you are taking time to reconnect with your bliss or need to combat against a cold/flu, body aches or pains you will find treasure in having a Mustard Bath.
Enjoy the detoxifying properties, inhale, and relax in an amazing aromatic bath. The therapeutic bath salts combined with mustard go to work pulling nasty toxins from your skin, while the spirit of wintergreen, eucalyptus and rosemary surround you in a curative cape, leaving you feeling top-notch.
Everyone in the house can benefit from this magical bath soak to maintain health, especially useful for the athletic types to relieve muscle stiffness and soreness.
