What Essential Oils Can I Put in My Bath? by Loving Essential Oils

Taking a bath is the perfect way to relax after a long day. But did you know that adding essential oils to your bath can help you get an even better, more rejuvenating experience? Essential oils are incredibly therapeutic for both the mind and body. Let’s take a look at what essential oils you can add to your bath for maximum relaxation.

What Essential Oils Can I Put in My Bath?

One of the ways essential oils can be used to wonderful effect is in creating a relaxing, therapeutic bath. There are many essential oils you can put in your bath such as lavender, sandalwood, geranium and chamomile.

It is important to take note, however, that when adding essential oils to your bath, adding too much may result in an overwhelming amount of scent; adding too little may not have any beneficial effects either.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender oil is one of the most popular essential oils for its calming effects. Add a few drops of lavender oil to your warm bath water and let it soothe away the tension of your day. Lavender oil also helps reduce anxiety and can promote restful sleep when used before bedtime.

Chamomile Essential Oil

Chamomile essential oil is the perfect addition to any bath. Its calming aroma can help reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm, making it an ideal choice for before bed baths or after a long stressful day.

This oil can also be used as a natural skin care solution with its wonderful anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe dry, irritated skin. When used in bath water, chamomile essential oil helps create balance in the mind and body in just one luxurious soak!

Geranium Essential Oil

Geranium essential oil is great for adding a special boost of relaxation and nourishment to your bath. Known for its balancing properties, geranium oil helps reduce stress and anxiety while rejuvenating the skin.

When added to water, geranium essential oil produces a light floral scent that will linger even after you’ve dried off. Adding geranium essential oil to your bathwater creates an aroma-therapeutic experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and moisturized from head to toe.

Sandalwood Essential Oil

If you’re looking for a way to elevate your bathing routine, why not try sandalwood essential oil? Containing a captivating woody aroma, sandalwood oil is popular for  facial creams and soaps, as well as massaging into the body - making it perfect to be used in baths.

Incorporate some sandalwood essential oil into your bathing ritual today and enjoy its calming properties with each soak.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus oil is known for its invigorating scent that helps open up airways, making this essential oil ideal for those suffering from colds or allergies.

Its antiseptic properties make it great for treating skin conditions like acne as well as helping reduce inflammation in muscles and joints. If you’re feeling under the weather, add some eucalyptus oil to your warm bath water for quick relief!

Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary oil has been used as an aromatherapy aid for centuries due to its ability to improve concentration and mental clarity. It can be especially helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed out by life’s demands—just add some rosemary oil to your warm bath water and let the aroma lift your spirits!

Rosemary oil has anti-inflammatory benefits too, which makes it great for treating sore muscles after a long workout session or long day on your feet. You can also use it in an essential oil foot bath.

Essential Oil Combinations to Create the Perfect Bath Experience

The essential oils will change the energy and scent of your bath. As with any essential oil use, patch test first to ensure that you won’t have any adverse reaction to the essential oils. Make sure to add 3 to 6 drops into warm water with a carrier oil like jojoba oil or fractionated coconut oil to mix with your essential oils before adding them.

Here’s a look at some of the best essential oil combinations for your next bath.

Lavender and Chamomile

The combination of lavender and chamomile is one of the most popular—and relaxing—essential oil combinations. Lavender is known for its calming effects on both the mind and body, while chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe dry or irritated skin. When combined, these two essential oils create an aroma that is both calming and soothing.

Eucalyptus and Rosemary

The combination of eucalyptus and rosemary creates an invigorating scent that is perfect for those days when you need an extra boost of energy. Eucalyptus has a stimulating effect on the senses while rosemary helps clear up congestion and relieve sore muscles. Together, these two oils make it easy to shake off fatigue and feel energized after your bath.

Rosemary and Lemon

Rosemary and Lemon are the perfect combination for a revitalizing experience. Rosemary has long been known for its ability to boost energy levels and improve concentration, while lemon oil has a refreshing, uplifting aroma that can help to clear the mind and stimulate the senses.

It is often used as an aromatherapy oil, as its scent is known to be calming and energizing at the same time. The oil can be used in a diffuser to fill a room with its invigorating scent, or it can be added to soap or massage oil as well.

Now that we’ve gone over some of our favorite essential oil combinations for baths, why not give them a try? Whether you’re looking for relaxation, energy, or clarity, there’s something here for everyone.

Just remember to always use high-quality essential oils from trusted brands in order to ensure maximum benefits with minimal risk of irritation or other side effects. And don’t forget to have fun creating new combinations—there are endless possibilities!

More Ways to Use Essential Oils for Bathing

Who doesn't enjoy a good long soak in the tub? Adding essential oils to your bath can turn a mundane experience into an indulgent pleasure. Not only do essential oils provide powerful aromatherapy benefits, but they also soothe the skin and help you relax.

Essential oils are a natural and versatile way to improve your bathing experience. Add a few drops of oil to your bathtub before you get in, or create a luxurious bath salt blends by combining essential oils with Epsom salt and a carrier oil.

You can also add a few drops of oil to your soap or shampoo for an extra-invigorating cleanse. Here are some more bathing tips and recipes with essential oils:
