Aromatherapy Bath Salt Recipe
Water has several powerful
therapeutic benefits. After all, it isn’t called miracle water for
nothing. When you combine the powers of water with that of
aromatherapy essential oils, the therapeutic benefits of both are
multiplied and so intensified that the combination has become the
basis of many powerful therapeutic treatments.
There are numerous types of
aromatherapy bath salt recipes administered at spas, Ayuverdic and
holistic centers, and health clinics around the world. Even sports
therapy clinics use some aromatherapy bath salt recipes to help
patients recover from joint and muscle injuries. Dermatologists
sometimes recommend aromatherapy bath salt recipes for patients with
psoriasis, eczema, and other dry skin conditions.
For hundreds of thousands of years,
aromatherapy bath salt recipes have been used by people not just for
aesthetic purposes to enhance the skin but for healthful reasons as
well. Aromatherapy bath salt recipes contain essential oils that are
beneficial to the body, helping to enhance and improve health and
well-being.
You can try aromatherapy bath salt
recipes at home as well. With just a few ingredients handy, those
powerful therapeutic benefits could be yours. Below are some samples
of aromatherapy bath salt recipes you can try out.

Use the following ingredients for
this aromatherapy bath salt recipe: ½ cup coarse bath salt, sweet
orange essential oil, dried lavender buds, dried chamomile flowers,
and large 3x5 inch tea bags (or Organza or Muslin bags).
Add essential oil to salt and mix
well. Next, add dried herbs and stir to combine. Fill each tea bag
with approximately 4oz of this aromatherapy bath salt recipe
mixture. Package the bags individually and use plastic to seal it.
This will prevent the scent from leaking out. To use, simply toss
one bag into warm bath water. As the tea bag seeps the salts will
melt and the fragrance from the essential oils and herbs will
disperse. When done, throw the tea bag away.
