Preparing an aromatherapy bath is simple. Add about 8 drops of your favorite essential oils 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 cannot be use 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 add 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 between 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.
Please always refer to my safety guideline first.
Hydrosols (also known as floral waters) are less concentrated versions of essential oils and may be better to use if you have sensitive skin.
