Fizzy Herbal Baths
1 Cup Baking Soda
4 Tablespoons Citric Acid
3 Tablespoons Jojoba
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Manufacturing Fragrance Oil and/or 20 to 40 drops
Essential oil or Perfumery
Oil, strength is your personal preferrence.
Optional:
Herbal Powders and/or Dead Sea Salt of your choice can be added for there natural look and healing properties. If you add herbal powders or sea salt, you will need to add more oil to make up for the difference. Vegetable Glycerin and Vitamin E can also be added for its moisturizing properties. If you add glycerin, be sure to add more baking soda to make up for the
difference. A few Dried Flowers can also be added for a nice victorian floral touch.
Blend your dried ingredients first. In a seperate bowl, blend and stir together your jojoba, fragrance oil and or essential oil. When choosing your oils, think of a name you would like your herbal bath to be. For example:
Lavender Stress Away, Rose Delight, Jasmine Nights, etc.. This adds a nice touch to your creation and gives you a general idea
what fragrance oils you should choose for application. Now you want to add a small amount of the oil mixture to the dried mixture, stirring continueously until all is evenly blended. You can add a little food coloring to this if you like to color coordinate with the fragrance. When you are stirring this mixture it should resemble crumb pie crust. If it does not look like crumb pie crust and is to dry, add more oil, if it is to wet add more baking soda. This recipe yeilds 1/2 cup.
The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.
Chinese Proverb
It's a good idea to rotate use of essential oils. This will reduce the chance of acquiring sensitization from using the same oils over a long period of time. Try to use a wide variety of different essential oils. Why not try a new one today?
