An important ingredient in
bubble bath is essential oil. Essential oils add
the scent to your bubble bath. Use these
sparingly, as you only need to use several drops
to get a pleasant effect. Many essential oils
should not be ingested orally, so be sure to
read the directions. There are also some
essential oils such as marjoram that should
never be used by pregnant women. Also look in
aromatherapy books and ask questions at the
health food store when buying essential oils.
Some essential oils are known to be relaxing and
soothing. The most popular include lavender,
sandalwood, marjoram, frankincense, myrrh,
rosewood and chamomile. These essential oils
will calm you down, relax you and help you go to
sleep.
Among the few purposes is that some essential
oils will uplift and energize you. Among few,
the Peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus and lemon
oil are all oils that will brighten your day and
are good to use during the day. Eucalyptus oil
is especially good if you have a cold because it
will break up your cold’s congestion. For skin
softener, consider adding either coconut or
almond oil to your bubble bath concoctions.
Coconut oil has a wonderful nutty and floral
fragrance to it. Almond oil is virtually
unscented. Adding a half a cup of either almond
oil or coconut oil to your bubble bath will
soften your skin tremendously. This is a great
addition for your bubble baths for the winter
months.
