Euca-what? Euca-lyptus!

Farmers markets are places to find unique items.  You expect to buy vegetables or homemade items there but sometimes find other options such as bath salts. At one of the farmers markets I went to I found a small array of bath salts called Jeanne's Bath Salts. I'd never tried them before so I decided to buy a bottle.  I ended up buying Eucalyptus bath salts.  In the bottle they are particularly strong smelling, but I thought the smell would be less once they dissolved in water.  Bath salts are supposed to relax and smooth muscles through their scent.  
I filled a tub with hot water and took only a pinch of the Eucalyptus bath salts dropping them into the water.  The salts did give off a strong smell, but wasn't as strong as the smell of them in the bottle.  I stayed in the bath for about half an hour and had to get out because it was too strong of a smell and gave me a bit of a headache. It might have been the wrong kind of bath salts, homemade might have a more pungent smell than some of the manufactured salts, but that kind wasn't very relaxing.  I believe that some salts may work, but I'd be sure that you like the smell of the salts before you buy it.
