Step 1: Purchase a gallon of water or purify tap water at home.
If you don't have access to a water filter, you can either pour tap water through it or purchase a bottle of purified water.Most grocery and specialty stores have filter pitchers or faucet filters.Chemicals that are added to normal tap water can affect the solution's salinity.
Step 2: To sterilize the water, pour it into a saucepan and boil it.
The boiling process will leave you with sterile water.If you bought distilled water instead of tap water, it should be sterile.
Step 3: Allow the water to cool and add sea salt.

The mixture of salts and oils should be easy to mix, but don't expect a lot of salt to be dissolved into the oil when you use the soak.It can be kept in a sealed glass container in the bathroom closet.When grass and dirt get into the container, the mix will go bad, but otherwise should be free of mold and contaminants forever.
Step 9: The salt soak should be added to a warm bath.
When the bathwater begins to smell like your oils and the salt has dissolved, you should let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes.Before stepping into the water, look for the salt to be mostly dissolved.If you want to make your soak into a foot soak, simply pour 120 g (1/2 cup) of the salt soak mix in a hot foot bath.It may take a few minutes as there is less water.
