Bath Powder Ingredients

Bath powders are a delightful way of scenting your body after a bath or shower. I have two homemade bath gifts recipes here – an invigorating powder to get you going in the morning and a calming, soothing recipe to help you relax and get a great night's sleep.

Both of these powders use rice flour - grind it fresh with your own grain mill -  and essential oils for both emotional and physical healing.

Invigorating Morning Bath Powder

Rosemary essential oil is invigorating.

The rosemary essential oil will clear your mind, improve your memory and fill you with energy.

Use this homemade bath care powder in the morning, after taking a bath or shower. You'll be pumped for the day.

These homemade bath gifts are an excellent choice for the mom who is filling stressed out.  (Looking for rosemary essential oil?  Find it here.)

Massage Oil Recipes for
Homemade Bath Gifts

Gifts like these two homemade bath care recipes are good for relaxation and for easing aches and pains.

Sore Muscles Massage Oil

Essential oils are great in bath gifts.

Use this wonderful oil on a loved one suffering from aches and pains from a hard day's work.  Clary sage essential oil is not only good at easing pain, it also helps with insomnia and is uplifting. Be sure to avoid alcohol for an hour before and after using this massage oil.  (Looking for clary sage essential oil?  Find it here.)

  • 1 cup sweet almond oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil
  • 20 drops of clary sage essential oil

Mix well. Let this oil sit for a few days to make certain the essential oil has been evenly distributed. Massage it onto sore muscles and enjoy!

Relaxing Massage Oil

This wonderful oil will leave you relaxed and smelling wonderful.

  • 1 cup sweet almond oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil
  • 10 drops of lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops ylang ylang essential oil

Mix well, and then let the oil sit for a few days to make certain the essential oil has been evenly distributed.

Or Consider Bath Oils

Mix together 20 to 24 drops of your favorite essential oil with two ounces of any carrier oil, such as extra sweet almond or jojoba oil. Include a dry brush with the oils. Brush your skin softly, starting from your toes and working your way up.

Dry brushing helps to detox your body by cleaning out your lymphatic system and strengthening your immune system. It also removes dead skin and increases circulation. After dry brushing, apply your favorite bath oil and then soak in a warm tub. Your skin will feel soft and refreshed.

Consider some of these essential oils to make your bath oils:

  • Lavender essential oil - Lavender essential oil eases pain and helps you relax. Use it to treat sunburn or help bruises and cuts heal.
  • Rose essential oil - Not only is the aroma of roses pleasant, but it can also work as an aphrodisiac. It reduces stress and anxiety as well.
  • Orange essential oil - use this essential oil to treat acne. It also eases inflammation and lifts your mood.
  • Tea Tree Oil - If you have wounds or acne, tea tree oil is another essential oil that works great to speed up healing. It also does an amazing job of easing pain.
