Now that you have a concept of how to use aromatherapy as a massage treatment, you can probably imagine using these precious essential oils in the bath. Aromatherapy bath products include bath salts and oils.
Aromatherapy bath oils can be used to treat you in the same manner as massage oils. The concept is basically the same - you take a warm and relaxing bath with water that contains about a quarter of a cup of aromatherapy bath oil. The oils go to work when they penetrate the skin.
Again you will want to test the bath oil to make sure that it does not cause an allergic reaction. If you want a truly relaxing bath, use lavender or vanilla as both of them are among the safest and most mild oils to use. Rose also makes a good bath oil.
Making your own aromatherapy bath oil is simple and economical. Yes, essential oils can be costly, but as you only need a few drops, it can last quite a long time. Again, you will want to use carrier oil, but vegetable oil is very inexpensive. You will also want to use the glass eye dropper and the dark colored bottles that you can purchase online.
You can make enough bath oil to last for a few baths by doubling the recipe and adding two ounces of carrier oil to 20 drops of essential oil. The ratio for the bath oil is roughly the same as it is for massage oil, but you can add a couple more drops of the essential oil as it is also being diluted into water. On the average, add 10 drops of essential oils to one ounce of carrier oil.
The bath oil should be store in a cool, dark place. Most likely, you will want to put it in your bathroom cabinets. As is the case with all products that you make, keep the bottles away from children.
