Aromatherapy Recipes for Bubble Baths

When things get the better of you, there is nothing quite like a good soak in a hot tub with a book and some soft music and 'you' up to your neck in bubbles. Its relaxing, calming and uplifting, especially if the bath is perfumed with aromatic scented oils, especially chosen for their revitalising properties. The following recipes will add a little something to your pleasure, and leave you feeling chilled out, invigorated and ready to conquer the world.

The recipes here focus on some of the more exotic aromatherapy essential oils, mainly because one must be bored with all the commercially available bubble baths containing Lavender, Geranium and Ylang-Ylang.

If you want a spicier energizing blend, try creating your own recipe. Start with three essential oils that make u feel invigorated and lively. Check the maximum dosage of oils and blend accordingly try adding essential oil drops one drop at a time, mixing well and then smelling the blend before you add more. This will take longer but it will give you a clearer idea of how just one drop can make a significant difference to how you feel about your creation. The aromatherapy recipes for baths:
