You hear a lot about aromatherapy, but may be wondering what to do with the oils and how they can enhance your life. I will be doing a weekly blog with small ways you can add them to your life for some wonderful benefits for your health and to enhance your life.
When you want to take a relaxing, energizing, healing bath grab your favorite oil… Lavender for relaxation, birch and juniper for aches, peppermint for energy etc. (If you have some oils you don’t know what to do with email me and I will let you know what they are good for.) Put 10 drops in an emulsifier. An emulsifier is to disperse the essential throughout the bath. Never add the oil directly to water. Some common emulsifiers are shampoo, bath salts, liquid soap, milk, epson salts. After adding the oils to the emulsifier add to your bath and swish around just before you get in… don’t run the bath and then put the kids in bed, do the dishes etc like you usually do… the oils are volatile and will have dissipated before you get done. Because the oils have a very small molecular structure they can enter into your system quickly, but they also dissapate quickly. Remember you have to stay in the water for at least 15 min. to get the maximum benefit, so grab your favorite book and relax! Finish your pamper by putting lotion you have added essential oils to, on your moist skin. 15 drops per 2 oz. is perfect. PS don’t put peppermint lotion on before going to bed… it is for energy!
Hope you have a fabulous week.
