If you love a Bath then this is for you ...

The Magical Bath

Cleopatra bathed in ass’s milk and the Romans built huge fancy buildings with giant baths filled with natural spring water for all the family to enjoy.

Perfume was invented 4000 years ago to indulge the rich. Warriors would have a bath before a battle as part of their protection ritual, so the bath has always been regarded as a mystical, magical place.

Every bath should be an experience.

We are born from the security of the womb – a warm comfortable place filled with all we need to survive, and the bath returns us to that place again.

Taking a bath can mean warming up after the cold, cooling down after the heat; somewhere to go to de-stress, relax after a difficult day or to heal if you are unwell.

It can be somewhere to share a bottle of Champagne with your partner for a romantic interlude or lock out the children for 10 minutes peace.

If you make a cup of peppermint tea by steeping the leaves in hot water, then drinking it, it will help to calm or cool any digestive problem.

Well, a bath is just a much larger cup of tea and any herbs or oils it contains will be taken into your system through your skin and used by your body to help or heal it.

To make your bath, first run it to the correct temperature.

If you are using oils, then you will simply add the oils to a dispersing agent (teaspoon of full fat milk, vodka, or dispersing bath oil), add to the bath and swirl.

If you want to use actual herbs, then you can use them in two different ways…if your chosen herb is in leaf form, you just need to make either a strong pot of tea (infusion) with boiling water, strain and add, or tie the herbs in muslin and add direct to the bath whilst you are running it and keep squeezing the bag to extract the herbal qualities.

If your chosen herbs contain roots or twigs, they will need to be boiled for 5 minutes to extract the goodness before adding the tea to the bath.

If using oils, the general rule is 8 drops to a bath for an adult. Children should have at least half the amount (use less than half their age is a good rule of thumb i.e. 8 years old add 3-4drops)

Some favourite blends for you to enjoy…. dilute or disperse Eos before adding to the bath:

Hormonal: Geranium (5) & Clary Sage (3)

Cleansing: Juniper (5) & Grapefruit (2)

Relaxing: Lavender (4) & Ylang-ylang (4)

Romantic: Jasmine (3) & Sandalwood (3)

Lust: Patchouli (5) & Ylang Ylang (3)

Restful sleep: Marjoram (4) & Lavender (4)

Aches & Pains: Marjoram (5) & Black Pepper (3)

Colds & chills: Niaouli (5) & Sweet Marjoram (4)

Relieve depression: Rose Otto (2) & Lavender (4)

I hope this has been useful for you 💜🌿💚

Do you know what parabens are?

They are preservatives found in, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

What is it’s intended purpose?
To extend the shelf life of a product 15 to 20 years!

Why are they scary!
Parabens have been linked to cancer and found in breast tissue of women with breast cancer.

What can you do!
Read your labels and raise your awareness.

Parabens sometimes just say paraben on your label but sometimes they look like these words:
– methyl
– propyl
– butyl – ethyl

Avoid it where you can. There are a lot of paraben-free products out there, you just need to read the label.
Take a peek around the house today and see if you see any labels with these words on them.
If you do, I would consider a cleaner option.

Frankincense 👑
Ahh... Frankincense is the King of Oils 🤴🤴

The oil is produced by steam distillation of the resin of the Boswellia trees and has been called “The King Of Oil” thanks to its incredible effects on our health.

It is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that has been thoroughly used in the past as a natural remedy against various ailments.

Frankincense has been used for thousands of years for different rituals, and besides having a wonderful fragrance, nowadays we use it as a natural remedy for numerous ailments.

The oil can boost the immune system, prevent toothache and cavities, treat colds and prevent other infections.

According to a study conducted at the Sloan Kettering Memorial Centre, the oil contains a compound known as beta-elemene which is responsible for most of the oil’s benefits.

Many cancer patients use herbs rich in the compound as a natural treatment as beta-elemene has shown that it can prevent cancer cell growth in laboratory tests.

The few human trials conducted on it have shown that the compound can indeed improve the quality of life of cancer patients, although further research is required in order to draw final conclusions.

Frankincense has numerous Emotional/Energetic Qualities:

* Supports reflection and introspection
* Encourages emotional healing on all levels
* Quiets the mind
* Supports focused attention and tranquility

Frankincense essential oil’s astringent properties can be a great support against skin problems.
It can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes and promote the regeneration of skin cells too.

We can't eliminate the signs of aging, but we do have the means to 'slow it down' without spending a fortune on commercial lotions and creams.

Most of these products contain a variety of chemicals such as fragrance, benzyl alcohol and PEG-100 Stearate which can harm your skin beyond repair.

You would be doing yourself a favour if you can start including frankincense oil into your skincare products / regime in order to erase the signs of facial aging .

With anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and healing properties it work great against eczema, acne, stretch marks, scars and wrinkles.

Frankincense essential oil, sometimes called Olibanum oil, is resinous with terpenic, coniferous, pine-like, woody, and fresh lemon elements in the top note, and with woody, spicy nuances.

The fresh pine-like note is due to the dominant constituent, α-pinene; the lemony note is due to limonene.

Frankincense blends well with citrus oils, but also with other resins (such as Myrrh), spicy oils (especially Clove), and intense florals (such as Jasmine and Ylang Ylang).

Blending Idea 💡

Facial Mask
1 teaspoon - Plain yogurt
2 teaspoons Clay (Rhassoul is really nice)
1 teaspoon - Vitamin E
1 teaspoon - Oat flour
Mist of German Chamomile hydrosol

Mix all ingredients in a bowl (adjust the texture to your liking), then add the following essential oils:

1 drop Frankincense
1 drop Geranium
1 drop Myrrh

Smooth onto your face, preferably with a mask brush.
Leave on for 10 min.
Wash off with warm water, and pat dry
Follow with your favourite moisturiser 🙂

Aromatic Essential Oil Uses 💜🌱💚

Included in your everyday routine, essential oils have the power to impact your overall wellness for the better.

Here are a few ways to use pure essential oils:

Using essential oils aromatically involves diffusing them into the air, or putting them in your palms and then inhaling the scent from your cupped hands.
The aroma of an oil on its own has the power to influence your mood and change the emotional environment that surrounds you.
🍊
Diffuse Wild Orange to uplift your mind and body throughout the day.
(Wild Orange enhances any essential oil blend with a sweet, refreshing aroma)

Diffusion: Use three to four drops in your diffuser
🍋

💜
Add Frankincense Oil to your diffuser for a grounding aroma, especially during meditation and massage.
(Frankincense oil offers a range of benefits, from reducing stress and enhancing focus to supporting respiratory health and promoting emotional balance. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for improving both physical and emotional well-being.)
🌱
During study time or any activity that requires mental clarity, diffuse Basil Oil to promote a sense of focus.
(Basil Essential Oil is reputed to ease minor skin irritations, cramps, joint pain, muscular aches, spasms, gout, flatulence, and exhaustion. It is also said to enhance immune function, protect against infection, reduce water retention, and stabilise irregular menstruation) 🌱💜
