Baths with essential oils have an invigorating effect, strengthen immunity and improve the general condition of the body.
They are also useful when you "catch" the flu or a cold because they relieve cough and muscle pain. You can make them every day, just make sure that the water temperature is 38 degrees Celsius.
As essential oils do not dissolve in water, you need an emulsifier - soy milk is the best choice, sea salt, honey or apple cider vinegar.
Add 15-20 drops of essential oils of your choice to the selected emulsifier, mix well and pour into a tub of warm water.
The baths should last about 20 minutes, aromatherapists advise.
Medicinal Bath Ideas:
- Lemon (Citrus limonum)
This essential oil is used for colds and fatigue. It improves circulation, makes breathing easier and has an awakening effect, so it is good for morning baths.
- Eucalyptus globulus
It improves circulation (it is especially good for cold leg syndrome), facilitates breathing and is good for elevated temperature.
- Ravensara essential oil Ravensara (Cinnamomum camphora; Ravensara aromatica)
The first is the choice for flu and viral infections. In combination with mandarin essential oil, it works well for insomnia, aromatherapists advise.
- Medicinal lavender Lavender (Lavandula officinalis)
