Aromatherapy bath is easy to use and highly effective at relieving stress, calming the mind, and soothing tension muscles.
Submerging yourself in an aromatherapy bath is far less expensive than seeking medical attention for your ailments, and it's something you can do right in your own home, without risk of any side effects.
There are a variety of aromatherapy bath products available that contain the natural ingredients that give many benefits to our body.
- Bath salts and powders are simply added to running bath water. These products help detoxify your skin, and relieve muscle aches and pains. Many will cause your bath water to change color, making your aromatherapy bath a visual experience as well.
- Essential Oils may be directly added to bath water
- Soaps or bathing gels made from essential oils can also be used to cleanse the body, relax tired muscles and relieve stress.
- Creams and lotions containing essential oils may be used during or after the bath to cleanse and condition the skin
Each aromatherapy bath product is specially designed to dissolve with warm running water. As the product dissolves, the bath water is fill with essential plant extract oils. The scents of essential oils fill the room with delightful fragrances. Oils enter the skin pores and relax tired muscles. The effects of an aromatherapy bath product are immediately noticeable.
There are over 100 essential oils available with a variety of characteristics. Some aromatherapy bath products contain blends of two or more essential oils. To select an appropriate item, simply choose based on the results you desire:
- Lavender for relaxation and good night sleep
- Eucalyptus has a clarifying effect and may be used to help relieve chest or head congestion
- Geranium - Relaxing and balancing the body with a strong floral scent
- Spearmint - Energizing the body and the mind
Prepare Your Bath
Preparing an aromatherapy bath is simple. Add about 8 drops of your favorite essential oil into a tub full of warm water and sink your tired body into the soothing water. Start with one fragrance and as you familiarize yourself with the different healing properties of various plants, you can start mixing essential oils to create the desired effect.
If you are pregnant, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor before indulging in aromatherapy baths. There are some oils that should not be used during pregnancy.
Some important factors to remember about bath and body works using aromatherapy are:
- Fill the tub with very warm… not very hot...water.
- Close the bathroom door before adding the essential oils so that the 'therapeutic vapor' is kept inside where you can breathe it.
- ALWAYS disperse the water with your hand before getting in so that the oils do not 'puddle'.
- Soak for 15-20 minutes.
- RELAX AND ENJOY!
For aromatherapy bath, essential bath oils will penetrate deep into your skin's pores. So always keep in mind when you want to buy essential oils or fragrance oils (if you want to make bath bag, bubble baths or bath salts) that these oils don’t cause irritation to skin and are safe to use.
Remember! Always refer to my safety guideline first
Hydrosol (also known as floral waters) are less concentrated versions of essential oils and may be better to use if you have sensitive skin.
