Aromatherapy Oil - Relax and Unwind..

 

Recently, I received this little wonder in a smallish kind of a bottle from Rubybox  Its called Moya, Euphoric Milk Bath-Cape May Synergy.  It combines all kinds of aromatherapy oils and gets added generously to your bath water.  Once added, the white gel-lish formula goes clear, and mixes with the water.  I took a lovely bath and I can honestly say I felt so relaxed thereafter, that I decided then and there that I would post of Aromatherapy recipe's for my readers so that you too, could experience a little relaxation in your own home! ;-)

 

Lavender Aromatherapy Bath Oil Recipe

Ingredients

10 drops Lavender essential oil

5 drops Frankincense essential oil

5 drops Marjoram essential oil

1 drop Cedarwood essential oil

4fl oz (125ml) carrier oil of your choice, such as jojoba or sweet almond oil

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a dark glass or PET plastic bottle. Store it in a cool, dark place (not your bathroom cabinet - it's too warm and humid.)

To use your aromatherapy bath oil, pour about a tablespoon into the bath after you've finished running the water.

 

Shampoo Based Bath Oil

Baby shampoo is another very efficient carrier of oils, again helping the oils to disburse quickly and evenly in water.

4 fl oz (125ml) base oil (Almond Oil or Sunflower Oil

4 tablespoons mild baby shampoo10 drops essential oil(s) of your choice

Pour the base oil into a glass bottle or jar, add the shampoo and give it a good shake.

Add the essential oil, shake again then leave to mature for 2 weeks, not forgetting to protect the oils from daylight.

Add 2 tablespoons to each bath and swish it about.

 

Relaxing Oil

Very Sweet, very fresh and very relaxing, what more can I say!

4 tablespoons of base carrier oil combined with:

12 drops Sandalwood

8 drops Orange

4 drops Rose

2 drops Pine

2 drops Lemon

 

 

I also received this cute candle, Vanilla and Ylang Ylang scented which I still have to try out, but as they say ' candles set the mood' so why not try lighting a candle once you relax in the bath.  I also found some awesome Room and Linen spray recipe`s online.  I hope you`ll give them a try too! ;-)
