Can I use essential oils in the bath, and how do I do it?
Alyssa, ID.
Water is very healing and detoxifying, and bathing is an excellent way to use essential oils, as it combines the benefits of inhalation with the powers of absorption through the skin. Essential Oil combinations are also very popular, being used in European Spas.
Add the following Essential Oil combinations to a large glass of milk and then pour into bath water. Enjoy! (You can also add EO to bath with Sol-salt, Epsom salt, or Sea salt)
*Important note: Water and Oil do NOT mix...you must add essential oils to salt or milk, first, in order to create an emulsion.
