I'd like to
share a great idea I found in one of my favorite* aromatherapy books: Make a
body oil with your favorite essential oils and apply it all over your body before
getting into the bath. Through osmosis, your body will absorb the oils that
have been heated by the water, which is even more effective than just adding
EO's to the bath water itself!
(Of course, you should only use
therapeutic-grade Young Living essential oils.)
Here are a few recipe suggestions:
Pre-Bath Base Oil
(I
like V6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex from Young Living, but if you want to make your
own, try this one.)
Grapeseed 2 tablespoons
Jojoba 20 drops
Evening
Primrose 10 drops
Carrot 5 drops
Add about 10 drops of your favorite EO
single or blend to 2 teaspoons of the base oil. You can also create your own
blend.
Some of my favorites are Lavender, Geranium and Ylang Ylang. Blends I like
include Peace &Calming,
Envision, Joy, Sensation and Harmony.
I also want to try Wintergreen, Relieve It or PanAway the next time
my body feels sore, tired or achy. I think this might help with arthritis, too.
Try it and let me know what you think!
