Bathing with essential oils is one of the easiest ways to implement aromatherapy and its benefits. The relaxing properties of hot water compliment the effects of well-chosen essential oils. Aromatic baths are invigorating, refreshing and can provide relief from stress and anxiety, improve a woeful state of mind, premenstrual syndrome, assist with muscle pains, soothe frayed nerves at the end of a busy day, or offer a sensual introduction to a romantic evening with your partner.
I really love the water! Although my Zodiac sign is Aries (fire sign) by birth. My personal development is Cancer (water sign) . . . so I really love the bath with the addition of blends of essential oils. In fact, there are many recipes for the bath in different situations or medical conditions, but here I will cite only some of them.
It is especially important that you use an emulsifier in the bath. Otherwise, there is a risk that if the concentrated droplets of some essential oils come into direct contact with the skin, especially on more sensitive areas of the body, they can irritate or even burn. You can mix essential oil in a tablespoon of emulsifier such as vegetable or cosmetic oils, milk, cream, buttermilk, or honey. Add to the tub and mix well to ensure that the blend has dispersed well in the water.
Mix base oil and essential oil for storage in a tightly capped bottle. Amber or dark colored glass bottles are recommended. Choose a cool dark place for storage (not refrigerator) to preserve their freshness and potency. Shake well to mix before each use.
