The aromatic bath

The bath (integral, feet, hands,). essential oils will provide you well-being and relaxation. their primary virtues are to relax and eliminate stress that often block the vital functions of the body. but attention : Most essential oils are not naturally water-soluble, so difficult to incorporate into the bath water. Do not use tensio-active products (liquid soap type), which solubilize lipids in essential oils and thus make them hydrosoluble.
These foaming baths act as detergents and attack the epidermis by removing it from the protective film and chemically destroy the original composition of the essential oil, and alter its active ingredients.
Several solutions are at your disposal to facilitate the dilution of essential oils in water, without altering their properties. whatever the method, plan about ten drops of essential oil that you will mix with the product and then pour into the bath water.
