The Relaxing Effect of Bath

There is nothing like getting into a nice warm bath at the end of a stressful day. Natural products such as essential oils, mineral salts, a skin brush and a loofah can turn a bath into an all-natural healing sanctuary. 

     
Action
•    Create a soothing atmosphere, with scented candles, soft music and place cotton towels near the bath. It's your time, don't let anyone disturb your ritual. 
•    Fill the bathtub, add some vegetable-based carrier oil such as almond, avocado or jojoba oil. Mineral salts and essential oils make an excellent addition.
•    To sooth the skin and stimulate circulation use skin brushes or loofahs. For best results use salts or natural body scrubs to exfoliate the skin. 
•    Finally, finish the by moisturising your skin with a herb-based oil/lotion.

Here are some suggestions for essential oils: 
Eucalyptus for sore muscles & respiratory congestion
Lavender for regeneration
Orange to ease respiratory & digestive problems
Sweet basil for everyday muscular aches and pains
Jasmine is uplifting and harmonising
Mandarin for a good night sleeps and skin conditions
Vanilla for everyday stresses and strains

Caution: Read labels carefully, especially if you have allergies.  
Some oils CANNOT be used during pregnancy.
