Making Bath and Massage Oils
Aug 29th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: AromatherapyBath and massage oils are made by adding Essential Oils to vegetable Carrier Oil bases. The ratio is one teaspoon of Essential Oil to 4 ounces of Carrier Oil. Use amber or cobalt Blue glass for your oils and keep out of direct light. Do not store in plastic bottles. It is best not to store in the bathroom because of the heat during showers.
Bath Oils
Using Essential Oils in the bath is one of the nicest ways to enjoy their therapeutic benefits. Adding them to a Carrier Oil help to disperse the Essential Oils throughout the water and onto to your body. Lighter oils disperse more readily in the water. To use bath oils, draw your bath first, close the door and then add about two teaspoons of bath oil to your water.
Heavier oils lie on the top of the bath water and will cling to your skin when leaving the bath.
Light oils suitable for bath oils that readily disperse include Sunflower oil and Grapeseed oil.
