Every bath is an experience. A detox bath cleanses all of the things weighing down your mind, body, and spirit. A relaxation bath calms and soothes you from the inside out. To modify or customize your bath experience, essential oils in bath is a must.
How Aromatherapy Sets Your Mood
All-natural essential oils provide aromatherapy to your bath, and it’s this aromatherapy that transforms the experience. From looking at ancient burial and ceremonial sites, archaeologists have found that aromatic plants have been used by humans throughout the history of civilization.
Powerful plant aromas invoke feelings, emotions, and memories, creating atmospheres that are serene, uplifting, and at times even sacred.
Bath products with essential oils give you a way to tap into these feelings whenever you please via a warm, soothing, and self-caring bath ritual. As you lay back in the bath, these aromatic essential oils rise on the steam coming from the water, enveloping the senses and working their magic either simply or in complex layers.
If you’re ready to experience this yourself, try our Deep Relaxation Bath Soak at Better Bath Better Body.
Key Notes To Invoke Moods
Essential oils create a real difference in the experience one has in the bath. 3 key moods that can be brought into your own bathing ritual and how to use essential oils to incorporate them are:
-
Energize – An energizing bath may be taken in the morning, as a way to kick those mid-afternoon blues or even in the evening to gear a person up for the rest of the night ahead. Several essential oils bring about that fresh and energized feeling, the most popular being citrus fruits like lemon and orange.
Zesty, clean, and bright, a touch of lemon or orange essential oil is the perfect way to bring a little bit of energy into any essential oil bath blend.
-
Soothe – Soothing baths are a favorite of athletes, those in need of a cooling off after a hard day’s work, or those who simply want to bring themselves back to center.
Some of the most popular soothing essential oils include peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus, cypress, and cedarwood. What all of these aromas have in common are their fresh notes, mimicking the same soothing feelings one may have when walking through wooded fresh air or a meadow.
-
Relax – Relaxation is one of the main feelings one tries to accomplish when taking a bath. Just about everyone can use some relaxation from time to time, so there’s no wrong time for a solid grounding or relaxing bath.
For many, this is the type of bath most loved in the evening before winding down for bed. Lavender, frankincense, and chamomile are all top-notch relaxing aromas, with thousands of years of widespread support backing up their relaxing effects.
Not only are these aromas relaxing, but they’re also highly versatile, making it incredibly easy to create blends that either focus on or add a little bit of relaxation to any bath experience.
How To Incorporate Essential Oils In Bath
Essential oils can be incorporated into the bath in many ways, but one of the most popular is alongside USP Grade epsom salt. Essential oil epsom salt blends give you the benefit of comforting magnesium sulfate alongside all of the positive effects of aromatherapy.
For a foot or sitz soak, simply add around 1 to 2 tablespoons of your chosen soak per gallon of water. For a traditional full-body bath, stick to ½ to 1 cup of soak.
As the epsom salt dissolves, essential oils will mix with the bath water. They then travel up on the steam, envelop the senses, and comfort, soothe, relax, or energize from the inside out.
These blends are equipped with nourishing oils to carry the all-natural essential oils, making for a comfortable and secure pampering experience.
