I still make homemade bath salts for the kids (currently 14 and 18). A
carton of epsom salts, a good squirt of food coloring, a few drops of
something smelly - peppermint extract, perfume, whatever - stir it all
up and put it in a tin with a scoop.

Somehow soaking in a tub of salty pink water that smells like roses is
good for whatever ails you.
