According to the guide, using essential oils in the shower can provide you with both aromatic and therapeutic benefits. Essential oils can relieve congestion and stuffy sinuses, boost your immune system, and help to regulate sleeping patterns. Their aromatic qualities also calm your mind and body, reduce anxiety, lift moods, and aid in focus and concentration. Lane is quick to point out, however, that you need to determine your goals before using essential oils, so you can customize your blends to best suit your needs.
With the guide, Loving Essential Oils offers five different ways of using essential oils in the shower. Two of the methods involve putting drops of essential oils directly onto the shower floor or showerhead and allowing them to interact with the steam in the shower. In two of the other methods Loving Essential Oils suggests diluting them and adding a few drops directly into your body wash, scrub, soap, shampoo, and conditioners. The last method is the traditional diffuser approach, which humidifies the oils outside of the shower and then spreads them around your bathroom.
Also provided in the guide are 12 recipes for DIY essential oil shower blends. The recipes feature popular essential oil ingredients including lavender, peppermint, chamomile, lemon, cedarwood, eucalyptus, orange, grapefruit, cypress, patchouli, and frankincense. Each recipe is designed to serve a different purpose, from waking up to cleansing and relaxation.
The guide also shows how to make aromatherapy shower melts, which are small scented disks made of baking soda and water intended to sit in the bottom of your shower. The aroma emanates through the shower as water and steam activate the melt. The melts are handy because you don't add the essential oils until you use them, meaning they can be customized to suit your mood or needs on any given day.
Using essential oils in the shower makes the aromas reach the airways quicker, providing you with relief and benefits sooner. Because water vapors naturally disperse the oils, they allow for more coverage of your body.
Whether you are a new or experienced essential oil user, Loving Essential Oils also offers other educational resources. Their popular How-To Guides instruct you on how to safely and effectively use essential oils and make and bottle your own. The site also connects you with reputable and certified oils, ingredients, and diffuser manufacturers.
“Using essential oils in the shower is an amazing way to get essential oils and aromatherapy into your daily life,” said Lane. “They have amazing benefits for the mind and body and offer a great way to start your day or to end your day. There are many options for shower aromatherapy, whether you want to jumpstart your day with peppermint essential oil or relax with lavender essential oil.”
