Rest and Recover Bath Salts

Soak away the stresses of the day with a blend of magnesium salt, which helps to relieve sore muscles and aid in sleep; anti-inflammatory pink Himalayan salt, which is believed to draw toxins from the body; calendula and oats to nourish the skin and soothe irritation; and rose, for relaxation, self-care and healthy boundaries. Lavender essential oil promotes sleep and rest. Comes with a linen bag to soak in the bath.

Directions: Fill the muslin bag with the bath salt blend and add to the bath while it’s running. If you don’t have a bath tub, try a relaxing foot or hand bath. After the salt has dissolved you can use the muslin bag to gently exfoliate your skin. The bag can simply be washed and reused.

Albright's story

When Albright arrived in Glasgow at the height of the pandemic, she was concerned about facing pregnancy and birth alone. She felt a deep sense of isolation, with no friends or family here to talk to or share her experience. But a referral to Amma “changed everything”, says Albright, whose birth companions were there to support her through the final stages of pregnancy and during birth.

“Amma felt like my first family in Glasgow. They gave me power and knowledge and hope - I feel like a person who has rights and choices now and I am not afraid of anything.”

Mariam

“Before they came I did not know anything or what to expect from the UK system. I had to be in hospital for 4 days after birth, and they came to visit me every day so that was very nice. I felt supported where I would not have been otherwise.”

Yvonne

“I am so thankful to Amma. They were so kind, caring and patient. I cannot imagine what would have happened without them.”

Jessy

“They were supportive and educated and 100% with me, it felt like family, and I have not had that since coming to UK. I pray that one day I can repay this service by giving it back to someone who needs it like Amma did for me.”
