My Daily Stress Has Plummeted Thanks to This Game-Changing Bath-Time Essential
I take my weekly bath ritual very seriously. Anything that busts stress and relaxes sore muscles is an immediate yes in my book—from bath salts to oils. Usually, I stick to my drugstore magnesium salt from Dr Teal’s, but recently, I discovered a next-level bath soak brand that totally brings the zen and has quickly become a staple in my weekly ritual.
Flewd has a bath soak for every concern. Whether you struggle with anxiety or insomnia or you just need a serotonin boost, it’s got you covered! I put some of the brand’s soaks to the test recently and holy wow. I’m not joking when I say I felt like a completely new person after using them. If you need a serious stress bust (I mean, who doesn’t these days?) and want to level up your bath routine, keep scrolling. I’m sharing all the best Flewd has to offer below.
Flewd Stresscare
Insomnia Ending Soak
I blame caffeine and my busy schedule, but sometimes, it takes me hours to fall asleep at night, so the idea of an insomnia-ending soak was immediately appealing to me. The star ingredient here is, of course, magnesium, but this soak also includes vitamin A and E along with L-carnitine. L-carnitine helps provide stress-reducing nutrients and signals to the body that it’s time to rest.
I use this soak at least once or twice a week, and honestly, I would use it more if I could. The effects are subtle but definitely there. I’ve always loved a good magnesium soak for better sleep at night, but the addition of the other insomnia-busting ingredients takes it to another level. It doesn’t make you feel drowsy in any way; it just subtly gives you the best sleep of your life.

Ache Erasing Soak
I’m not saying that my Dr Teal’s magnesium soaks don’t get the job done, but this ache-erasing option from Flewd is totally next-level. I love to combine it with my other favorite bath soaks from LilFox and the ritual is complete. I use this one on workout days as a recovery soak, and it works wonders. It features an extra dose of magnesium, vitamins C and D, and omega-3s along with the delicious-smelling scents of cedarwood oil and mandarin oil.

Anxiety Destroying Soak
Let’s be honest; we could all use a little mood-balancing here in 2025. This soak is here to support that by quietly easing any lingering anxiety from work stress or whatever else you have going on in life. It has a vitamin B complex that helps balances moods when they spike, and it includes zinc which, in this case, helps other vitamins absorb better.
I love using this after a long or stressful day paired with my Jhenetics Rose & Vanilla CBD Oil ($55). It brings me a lot of zen when I need it, and although this soak isn’t specifically designed to promote better sleep, I find that for me it definitely does. Like other soaks from the brand, the effects are subtle but definitely there.

Panic Crushing Soak
The addition of boron, a micronutrient that’s known to help balance hormones and omega-3s here is the key to reducing any panicked emotions. According to the brand, omega-3s in the formula also create esolvins and protectins, which calm blood pressure and encourage muscle relaxation.
While I try to keep my panicking to a minimum most days (lol), this is actually another great one I like to use for muscle recovery, and it just helps me feel a lot more relaxed before sleep.
Flewd Stresscare
Fatigue Defeating Soak
I initially wasn’t sure if this soak would be my vibe because I like to conduct my bath ritual at night before bed, and I assumed this would be more of an energizing soak. However, it didn’t keep me up at all. Amino tryptophan is a star ingredient in this formula, which actually helps produce melatonin, the key ingredient to getting more restful sleep. More restful sleep equals less fatigue. Potassium also makes up the formula along with magnesium, helping to manage energy storage in the body.
This ended up being one of my favorite soaks of the bunch. I combine it with a liquid selenite essence to make it a whole witchy ritual, and I could genuinely sit in the tub for hours soaking in this winning combo. Like with Insomnia Ending, I get the best sleep ever after using this. I love that did the exact opposite of what I thought it would do, and it smells incredible with a mix of sandalwood, bergamot, and fig leaf oil.

Azure Tranquil Blue Aura Bath Soak
I recognize that this soak is a major splurge, but it truly doesn’t get better than this. This detoxifying indigo-hued soak is packed with magnesium, coconut milk, and raw crushed blue aura quartz crystals to bring a sense of calm. Blue spirulina and butterfly pea tea also give it its rich blue color and bring nutrients like zinc, copper, and antioxidants to the body.
It’s my favorite soak ever, and I love to combine it with any mood-boosting Flewd product.
Dr Teal’s
Pure Epsom Salt Melatonin Sleep Soak
And now, for a budget-friendlier option because I know that in this economy we can’t all be spending $125 on a bath soak. This classic formula from Dr Teal’s has melatonin in it to help you feel extra rested. It literally never fails me, and I always try to stay stocked on this—I go through bags of it quickly.
