Bath and massage oils are made by adding essential oils to vegetable Carrier Oil bases. The ratio is one teaspoon of essential oil to 4 ounces of Carrier Oil.
Use amber or cobalt blue glass for your oils and keep out of direct light. Do not store in plastic bottles. It is best not to store in the bathroom because of the heat during showers.
Bath Oils
Using essential oils in the bath
is one of the nicest ways to enjoy their therapeutic benefits. Adding them to a Carrier Oil help to disperse the essential oils throughout the water and onto to your body. Lighter oils disperse more readily in the water.
To use bath oils, draw your bath first, close the door and then add about two teaspoons of bath oil to your water.
Heavier oils lie on the top of the bath water and will cling to your skin when leaving the bath. Light oils suitable for bath oils that readily disperse include Sunflower oil and Grapeseed oil.
Sunflower oil contains Vitamins A, B, D and E, (the principal one) and is high in unsaturated Fatty Acids. Grapeseed Oil contains a high percentage of linoleic acid and some Vitamin E.
Massage Oil
Massage oils can be made from many different vegetable Carrier Oils. Choose the oil based on what you want the oil to do. Use a lighter oil if you want the oil to be absorbed readily into the skin. Use a heavier oil if you want the oil to stay on the top of the skin.
You can also choose the oil by what part of the body you are working on, for example Kukui Nut oil would be a perfect choice for the face and neck. A heavier oil such as sweet Almond might be the choice for a foot massage for very dry feet.
