Make A Shower Steamer

No time for baths, but love the aromatherapy benefits of bath bombs? Try shower melts!

The basic recipe is as follows:

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/3 cup distilled water
• 25 drops essential oil

Mix together. Add more baking soda and/or water to get the consistency to a thick paste. Spoon into silicone molds. Let air dry for 1-2 days, and then once completely dry store them in airtight containers.

To use place a shower steamer on the floor of your shower. Put it in a spot where it will get a little wet, but out of the main water stream. As the water hits it, it will dissolve and give off the aroma (and benefits) of the essential oils you used to make it. Be careful though to not get it too wet too quickly or it will just completely dissolve and run down the drain before you even get to enjoy the smell of the oils.

Don’t have the time to make a shower steamer? There’s a simple alternative:

Just put a few drops of essential oil on a washcloth. Put the washcloth in a spot on the shower floor where it will get a little wet, but out of the main water stream. As the water hits it, it will give off the aroma (and benefits) of the essential oils.
