 Pamper Yourself with Essential Oils in the Bath
Run a warm bath and ensure the door and windows are closed. When the tub is sufficiently filled, add up to 10 drops of essential oil to the water, circulating it throughout. As the oil is moved, the scent will rise with the steam of the water.
Don’t be tempted to use more than 8 – 10 drops of essential oil in a full bath.
To avoid floating unmixed oil its best to mix the essential oils with either 1 tablespoon full cream, milk or almond oil before adding. Run the bath and add oils just before getting into the bath or the precious essences may evaporate before you can get the full benefit.
Now get in, take your time, and enjoy the wonderful aroma while you soak!
