I love being ble to share information about my favourite subject Aromatherapy ♥

Aromatherapy baths are so healing on all levels and they are a way of supporting yourself at home for relaxation, assisting with stress, tension, anxiety and also work on a physiological level for treating skin and reproductive complaints.

You have two pathways of absorption via your skin and through breathing. Firstly your smell preference plays a very important role in assisting with relaxation. If you like what you are inhaling you will have an immediate positive response.

I will suggest some oils here that can assist with relaxation, relieve tension and reduce anxiety.

Create a sacred space for yourself, I like to set the scene with soft music, candles burning and of course choose my favourite oils. Once you have everything ready and your bath is ready to hop into gather your oils and add up to 6-8 in total for a healthy adult, halve that amount for children and during pregnancy. Agitate the water to release and break-up the essential oils, some people like to use a dispersant. The reason for this is so that there are not large globules of essential oil floating around. I personally do not find this necessary, if you do use a carrier oil for example, the essential oils must be added to that first and then poured in to the bath. Warning ~ use a anti-slip mat as carrier oil make the bath slippery!

Ok now to the yummy part ~ Essential oils ~

Rose, Neroli and Jasmine are beautiful oils they can be used on their own or combined. This is a truly beautiful blend, strongly feminine and very healing on all levels.

Patchouli, Bergamot and Geranium another of my favourite combinations a lovely balancing blend.

Vetiver and Rosewood a very relaxing and grounding combination.

Frankincense with Geranium, Rose or Neroli is simply delicious.

Sandalwood, Lemon and Rose is supberb.

Clary Sage, Sweet Marjoram and Ylang Ylang are deeply relaxing.

Sweet Orange and Mandarin are aslo relaxing, however I do not recommend Mandairn in the bath as it can cause chloasma (temporary dis-colouration of your skin) when combined with hot water.
