An Aromatherapy bath can be a wonderfully relaxing and therapeutic experience.
However because oil and water do not mix you need to dissolve the oils in something first.
If you don’t do this, they will just sit on top of the water and cause irritation to the skin.
You can use a 1-4% dilution but 2% is usually best. If you use a vegetable oil be careful as it will make the bath slippery.
Yes it’s a myth that you can use milk or vodka to disperse essential oils in the bath.
Neal’s Yard Remedies have a fabulous ‘Create’ range including ‘hair and body wash’ which is a bath foam base.Remember if you’re pregnant, elderly, have medical conditions or want to use essential oils with children please consult a clinical aromatherapist, like myself.
You can order Create range products, vegetable oils and essential oils through my online shopI can make bespoke bath foams for you too.Enjoy your Aromatherapy baths!
