The Perfect Bath - Recipe
Friday, 06 February 2009
Baths that are too hot or cold are not relaxing. The temperature should be body heat or very slightly higher, about 35-38 deg C. You can buy special pillows for use in the bath to make yourself as comfortable as possible. You gain most benefit by staying in the water for 20-30 mins. The effects are mild, calming and relaxing.
Ingredients for bath milk
1 egg
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tspns glycerine
1/4 cup dried milk powder
10 drops rose essential oil
10 drops bergamot essential oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
2 cups water
Method
1. Beat the egg, olive oil and glycerine together.
2. Add the milk powder while beating to make a smooth mixture.
3. Beat the essential oils and two cups of water a little at a time until all the ingredients are well mixed.
4. Bottle, label and store in the refrigerator.
5. Add about 1/3 of a cup to the bath water and mix well.
6. Will store for a max of two weeks.
Notes Don't add to very hot water or you will have problems with the egg.
