The Benefits of a Relaxing Essential Oil Bath

The bath is a moment of relaxation and unwinding, allowing you to release the stress of the day. For a feeling of well-being, its temperature should be around 37°C. Bathing is an art that can be enhanced with soft lighting, candles, and relaxing music.

To boost the effects of your bath, essential oils are precious allies for relaxation. There are a multitude of concentrated elixirs to help you regain serenity. They can be used diluted or in bath salts. Treat yourself to a relaxing bath with essential oils!

Which essential oil for relaxation?
Essential oils should be used sparingly. They should never be poured pure into bath water. They do not dissolve and remain on the surface, which can cause skin irritation. Essential oils must be mixed with a neutral cleansing base, like a shower gel, or incorporated with milk powder for better infusion in the bath water.

Each essential oil has its own benefits. Here is a non-exhaustive list to help fight stress and restore balance:

          - Exotic basil to prevent a spasmophilia attack.
          - Mandarin to calm anxiety.
          - Chamomile, marjoram, and sweet orange to soothe stress and anxiety.
          - Lavender to minimize nervous disorders.
          - Melissa to stop a panic attack.
          - Neroli to reduce anxiety, which can lead to depression.
          - Sandalwood to forget stress after a long day.
          - Vanilla to feel real calm and start a zen relaxation.
          - Ylang ylang to promote relaxation and optimism.
          - Bergamot to fight sleep disorders, which are often a consequence of stress.

A spa-worthy moment of well-being at home
Bath salts are also a simple solution, without essential oils, for a relaxing bath. Just throw in a handful of salts and let them dissolve. Scented, our lavender or vanilla bath salts are perfect for enjoying physical and mental relaxation.
