Some people love to take long baths luxury. Others can not wake up without a shower in the morning. You have the choice of hydrotherapy in the form of a bath or shower, is something almost everyone likes. Aroused there is nothing better for us in the morning, when a nice hot shower. And there's nothing better than to relax the body and calms the mind into a restful sleep and a bath before going to bed. It lowers the body temperature and prepares us for sleep,of course.
Scented bath salts
If I want to relax, I take a bath with these bath salts. I that since the 70s, when I sold the craft fairs. Now they make them for my pleasure. They are so easy to make the skin soft and silky. Children love to see the color of the water bath, and bath products are not children's business can be irritating.
Ingredients:
2 cups of sea salt, rock salt or kosher salt
20 drops of essential oil
Add theessential oil, salt. Spread on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil or parchment paper. (Use paper towels to absorb any, since they are the ointment.) If it is dry, which can take up to 24 hours or as little as 3, rather than pour it into a jar with a lid. If you want colored bath salts, use a few tablespoons of beet juice, or non-toxic food dyes, salts with essential oils. You can find non-toxic food dyes, natural food stores. To operate to undermine, simplyabout a half-cup and add to running water.
Remember, scent is a very personal thing. It's wonderful to surround yourself with it in your own home. But it's considerate to keep it very light or just not use it in public.
Scented Shower Gel
Ingredients:
1 Cup Water
1 ½ Cups Liquid Glycerine Soap, Scented (Dr. Bronner's or any natural brand)
2 TBSP Finely Milled Sea Salt
Natural Food Coloring (optional)
Add liquid soap to water. Do not add water to liquid soap, because you'll have a kitchen full of suds. Stir in salt and coloring, if you want it. If it separates, shake gently before using.
Variations: Use unscented liquid soap and add about 20 drops of essential oil to it. Or add a stick of cinnamon, a tsp of ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, coconut or chocolate extract. Store in a shampoo bottle.
Simple Soothing Milk and Honey Bath
Ingredients:
2 Cups of Dry Milk Powder (I use organic)
2 TBSP of Dried Honey Powder (I use HoneySweet Brand)
2 Cups of Finely Processed Oats (I use my food processor)
12-20 drops of essential oil (I use half lavender and half rose)
Mix milk and honey powder in large bowl. I use a whisk. Add essential oil, mix well and put in a plastic bag or tightly covered jar. Let the powder absorb the oil for at least 24 hours. Add ½ cup under the tap while you're running your bath. This is a good bath powder for children, although I omit the essential oil for children under 2, just in case it irritates them.
