TAKE A RELAXING AROMATHERAPY BATH

HAVING AN AROMATHERAPY BATH IS ONE OF THE MOST PLEASURABLE THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF OR FOR A LOVED ONE.

An aromatherapy bath can be soothing  or reviving and a wonderful way to get clean. Adding essential oils to a bath can enhance its ability to act as a therapeutic and sensually delightful experience: a feast for mind and body. Other benefits from an aromatherapy bath include softer skin through moisturising and opening the pores, detoxifying and deodorising your body.

If you're a beginner in the art of aromatherapy, starting with aromatherapy baths is a very simple and effective way to connect with the virtues of aromatherapy treatments for your overall well-being. Use 5-10 drops of essential oil in one tablespoon of carrier oil for an adult bath unless otherwise indicated. You can use olive oil, sweet almond etc. These carrier oils have an additional benefit of nourishing and moisturising your skin.

For  a non-oily or non-slip bath suitable for children and the elderly, milk (full fat) or dairy cream can be used as the carrier base instead of vegetable oil.

For children aged  between 1 and 5 years use 3-4 drops. This is mainly because a child's bath uses less water but also be aware of which oils are suitable for children – geranium and mandarin are two good choices.
