HOW TO USE AROMA / ESSENTIAL OILS FOR AROMATIC BATH

AROMA / ESSENTIAL OILS FOR AROMATIC BATH:

• Essential oils make a bath both aromatically and therapeutically. They sink into the skin quickly and thoroughly apart from giving float and herbal fragrances. If oil is added directly to the bath, it will float on the surface of bathing, water, thus imparting the full aromatic benefits to you. To yield quicker and better results you can mix oils in a base oil (like apricot kernel, sweet almond oil, Evening Primrose or Jojoba base oils) and then, disperse the blended oil through the water.

• While choosing oils make sure that they do not counter balance one another, rather they should complement and enhance the effect of other oils. Do not blend more than three essential oils at a time. Mix 5 drops of each type of oil to a 15 ml, of skin- softening oil (stated earlier) base oil.
