Oatmeal Calendula - Herbal Bath Blend. - DIY

This is an adult variation of the Herbal Baby Bedtime Bath Blend. It's soothing for the mind & body. The main difference is there are more epsom salts added to the adult version. The salts mixed with the baking soda help to detoxify and cleanse the body, while the calendula & oatmeal is healing and  soothing for the skin. Lavender helps calm and relax us, & helps to make us sleepy and eases stress.



 

What You'll Need:

• Chamomile Flowers


• Lavender Buds


• Calendula Flowers


• Oatmeal (You can grind the oats up if you'd like)


• Epsom Salts


• Baking Soda


• Lavender Oil

Tools:

• 
  
  
  
  • Airtight Mason Jar (Or other such jar)
  
  
  • Organza Baggies (reusable)
  
  
  
  

To Make:

I mix mine straight in a big jar but if you prefer a mixing bowl and to funnel contents into jars later, that's okay too. ^_^

1. 1 Part Epsom Salts to 1 part Oatmeal. This will act as the base for the blend.


2. 2-4 tsp of baking soda


3. Depending on your preferences, add in as much or as little as you'd like of Chamomile, Calendula & Lavender Flowers. (I put 2 tbs or so of each to a mason jar)


4. Add in 5-10 drops of lavender oil & shake, shake, shake all of the ingredients together until evenly combined.


5. Keep stored in an airtight jar.

To Use:

Scoop some into an organza bag and toss the whole thing into the tub! The reason I like to use organza bags for this blend is because the oatmeal makes the tub very slippery. *So be careful!*

Enjoy!

Happy Bathing! ~ <3

Make your own ~ Herbal Bath Blend. Calming Lavender Rose.

Aromatherapy for a Natural Mama who needs a little relaxation in her life.  <3

Therapeutic Aromatherapy for relaxation, meditation, stress relief, easing anxiety, & releasing depression. This blend also helps restore balance to mind & body and brings about love & peace.

Perfect for a stressed out Mama or one who just deserves a little peaceful pampering time.

( This blend is also great for Enhancing love & sensuality ;) )

 What You'll Need: 

In an airtight jar -

• 1 cup Epsom Salts (Or - Himalayan Pink Salt, Dead Sea Salt) Depending on the size of your jar, give or take)


• 2 tsp Organic Rose Petals


• 2 tsp Organic Lavender Buds (Another Option Here)


• Rose Oil - 2-5 drops


• Lavender Oil - 2-5 drops


• Vanilla Oil - 2-5 drops

With the oils, I find it's best to shake the mixture in between to get them distributed evenly and to see desired strength of scent.

OPTIONAL:

• Coconut essential / scented Oil 2-5 drops


• Vanilla Extract - 1tsp


• 'Tea Bag' of sorts. I find this easier, rather than having to clean up the tub if you just pour the mix right into your bath - that is completely up to you though. <3 Maybe a drain screen would come in handy here. If you do choose to use a tea bag, this can be a little organza bag, or a piece of fabric with a tie, whatever your heart desires. I'd love to hear some creative ways you guys make these.

To Make:

• You can either use a mixing bowl and add to your storage jar after or you can start right on your storage jar.


• Poor in 1 cup of salts


• Add in your desired amounts of oils, shake well to be sure they are distributed evenly.


• crunch or tear your rose petals and add them in, along with the lavender buds. I usually use a tsb or 2 of each.


• Shake the jar again until the mixture is consistent.

If the mixture ends up being too strong for your taste, just add in more salt. I find the scent goes a long way. I've dulled my blends down lots of time for individual baths. You can keep your mixture in the jar, and when you want to have a bath pour some plain salts into your bath baggie and add in some of your mixture.

To Use:

Add a few spoonfuls into your 'tea bag' and toss the whole bag into the tub and enjoy. (or scoop a few spoonfuls straight into the bath)

HAPPY BATHING! <3

I have also found this blend useful as an aromatherapy smelling salt. I keep some in a glass vile and take a sniff anytime I need a bit of calming energy to wash over me. ^_^ <3

I actually will be selling these from my shop for a little while longer.
