Cold and Flu Bath Bomb

• 
  Eucalyptus contains eucalyptol and alpha terpineol oils that increase respiratory function and promote easy breathing.
• Peppermint is calming to your digestive system, quiets nausea and reduces stomachaches; but it will also do a great job opening up your nasal passages.

Inhale those fumes and feel your sinuses and respiratory system open up!

Energizer Bath Bomb:

• Grapefruit oil is both invigorating and energizing. It is frequently used to support the liver and gallbladder. It also purifies, cleanses and will promote balance metabolism.
• Lemon will purify the air, it is stimulating, energizing and helps to protect against seasonal flu bugs.

Soothe the Day Away Bath Bomb

• Lavender is noted for its calming properties, it can calm down skin irritations and can soothe tension from both muscles and the mind. The Romans and Egyptians used lavender oil in ancient times for bathing and relaxation.
• Frankincense promotes immunity and cellular health. It is also anti-inflammatory and can evoke feelings of peace, relaxation and well-being.

All Essential Oils Are NOT Alike:

Essential oils are volatile liquids distilled from plants. They must be purely distilled to protect their chemical constituents that are affected by the following: soil conditions, climate, temperature, harvest season, method, whether the plants are grown in organic soil, low pressure and low temperature. So using anything less than certified, pure therapeutic-grade oils may NOT give you therapeutic benefits.

How to Use Your Healthy Bath Bomb:

• If you only have a shower, turn on the water, get in and place the bath bomb at your feet so the shower water can hit the bath bomb directly. It will immediately start to fizz and your bathroom and your lungs will be filled with healing essential oil molecules.
• If you have a bathtub, run the bath water, making sure that the water is at a comfortable temperature. When the tub is filled with water, get in and drop the bath bomb in the water. As the bath bomb starts to FIZZ it will emit those wonderful natural scents; so sit back, relax and enjoy the healing fragrances.

As you will experience, it is worth it to take the time to make your own healthy bath bombs. Although it takes a little bit of advanced planning, remember that our bodies need to be protected from upstream toxins.
