Rules for using aroma oils

Aromatic oils are not used in pure form, they are dissolved in water or special emulsifiers: sea salt, honey, cream or whey.

When preparing the composition for a bath or sauna, you need to take a wide-necked container made of heat-resistant material, pour warm water into it and drop essential oil at the rate of 10 drops per 15 square meters of room. The essential oil will not dissolve, but will float on the surface in separate drops and gradually evaporate. You can first stir the oil in the emulsifier (2-3 tablespoons), and then add this mixture to the water. The dishes should be placed in the steam room closer to the heating elements (in a sauna) or hot stones (in a Russian bath). In a sauna, a vessel with water and oils is hung directly above the stove for rapid evaporation. In a Russian bath, you can splash fragrant water on the floor, walls and benches, or use a spray bottle to spray the liquid throughout the steam room. You can moisten a broom in the same water for steaming.

The broom can also be sprinkled with undiluted essential oil, provided there are no allergies.

When using essential oil for the first time, you should stay in the steam room for no more than 3-5 minutes. It is necessary to check the individual reaction to a new substance. If everything is fine, then you can increase the stay time to 15–20 minutes. In order for the aromatic steaming procedure to lead to lasting improvement of the body, it must be repeated once a week for 2 months.

After completing the bath procedures, you can do a massage with aromatic oils - the heated skin will perfectly absorb all the beneficial substances. Rinsing the body with water with the addition of essential oil is a good tonic.

Massage with aromatic oils is usually carried out after completing bath procedures.

If you want to get fragrant steam faster, then direct irrigation of heated stones is allowed. But then it would be better to first water them with plain water to reduce the temperature, and only then splash the aromatic liquid on the stones.

When pouring water with aroma oil onto stones, you need to be careful, because many essential oils are flammable

Regarding acceptance aromatic baths, then essential oils are also used in diluted form. It is better to use emulsifiers or bath foam as a basis. For a full bath, usually take 2 tablespoons of base and stir 6-8 drops of essential oil in it. Both individual oils and their mixtures are used, depending on the purpose of aromatherapy. The water should not be very hot, the optimal temperature is human body- 35–36 degrees. Take an aromatic bath for 15 to 30 minutes, the course to achieve a therapeutic effect is 10–15 procedures (each or every other day).

When taking aromatic baths, you can decorate your bathroom with live plants and candles, just like in expensive spas.

If you first cleanse your body using a washcloth or scrub, the beneficial substances will penetrate the skin more easily and will work more efficiently. After taking a bath, it is better not to wash off the fragrant water, but to wrap yourself in a terry sheet and allow the liquid to be absorbed into the skin.

epilepsy;

Children and the elderly should use essential oils in the bath with caution.

If there are children in the bath or sauna, then the essential oil must be selected taking into account the age of the child, since many oils are approved for use for children no earlier than 12 years old

Recipes for baths, saunas and baths

Plant esters have a healing, activating or relaxing effect. At high temperatures, the effect will occur primarily on the respiratory system of the body, because steam with essential oils provides an inhalation effect. Therefore, in case of chronic diseases of the respiratory tract and cardiovascular system, you need to be especially careful and closely monitor your well-being.

For the bath

Most often, the Russian bath is used to fight colds.
The most known remedy The oil used in this case is eucalyptus oil. It perfectly cleanses the breath, disinfects the air, helps cope with diseases of the nasopharynx and respiratory system, relieves pain. The proportions for inhalation in the steam room are 10–15 drops per 2 liters of water. Has a similar effect peppermint oil, but it is also soothing and refreshing. Its proportions for the bath are the same.

Peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils are often used together in cold remedies

For diseases of the bronchi, lungs, asthmatic disorders and colds, anise or dill oil helps well. A simple recipe for inhalation in a bath with one of these remedies: mix 6-7 drops with a teaspoon of sea or table salt, dissolve in 2 liters of water and place the resulting mixture closer to the heater.

Juniper oil is a unique antiseptic and helps treat not only bronchitis, pneumonia and flu, but also tuberculosis and even venereal diseases. Proportions of juniper ether for a bath: 6 drops per 3 liters of water.

Sage oil helps cope with diseases of the throat and respiratory tract (sore throat, bronchitis, asthma) and recover from fractures, reduce pain and inflammation in arthritis, and heal skin damage. Sage essential oil is taken at the rate of 10 drops per 3 liters of water.

A combination of sage in equal proportions with mint or lavender oil will enhance the anti-cold effect and help calm the nervous system

Lavender oil also has an anti-cold effect and treats the respiratory tract, and also helps get rid of headaches, insomnia and stress, and heals purulent wounds, burns and skin diseases. Usually take 9 drops of lavender essential oil per 3 liters of water.

In Russian baths, pine aromas are often used. Oils of cedar tree, fir, pine and spruce serve as excellent remedies against colds, and also help heal skin damage and. Apply to the stones and walls of the steam room in the following proportion: oil - 6 drops, water - 3 liters.

To cure colds and for prevention purposes similar diseases in the future, bath procedures with essential oils should be repeated at least once a week (more often if possible) for 1–2 months.

Below are recipes for several mixtures for the Russian steam room, in which the oils complement each other and enhance each other’s effect. All recipes are used to get rid of colds and coughs 2-3 times a week until symptoms decrease or recovery.

Mix 5 drops each of eucalyptus and mint oils and 3 drops of spruce ether, add to 2 liters of water, use in a steam room to irrigate the floor, walls, and stones.
Mix essential oils of eucalyptus (2 drops), dill (3 drops) and juniper (1 drop). Helps well against wet cough.
Combine eucalyptus, mint and myrrh oils (5 drops each) with bergamot ether (10 drops) and dissolve in 2 liters of hot water. Quickly makes breathing easier and improves immunity.
Mix extracts of tea tree (3 drops), lemon, rosemary and juniper (2 drops each), dissolve in hot water(1 liter). Has a pronounced antiviral effect.

For Bath

Baths with aromatic oils do not have a pronounced anti-cold effect like bath procedures. They are more often used for other purposes: relaxation, rest, improving mood, healing skin and joints, reducing cellulite, strengthening the immune system and overall tone of the body. The course is 10–15 procedures every other day or two.

The best emulsifier for essential oils in the bath - sea salt. It is very useful in itself, and in combination with valuable plant extracts it is doubly effective.

There are bags of salt on sale, into which it is very convenient to add essential oils, and lower the bag into the bath until the contents dissolve

There are a lot of recipes for aromatic mixtures for taking baths; we will give some of them as an example.

Toning and invigorating mixture: 4 drops each of bergamot and grapefruit essential oils.
A soothing blend that promotes good sleep: Mix 5 drops of lemon balm oil with lavender (3 drops) and iris (2 drops) extract.
Mixture to combat cellulite: mix 5 drops of lemon oil with geranium (3 drops) and juniper (2 drops) essential oils.
Mixture to increase blood pressure: 2 drops each of St. John's wort, mint and sage oils.
Composition for relieving fatigue and relaxing muscles after physical activity: mix lemon balm and cinnamon, verbena and ginger, mint and juniper oils in equal proportions.
Warming mixture: 3 drops each of pine, thyme and lemon oils.
Remedy for pain in muscles and joints: 5 drops each of cedar and spruce oils.
Composition that activates libido (aphrodisiac): 3 drops of neroli oil, 2 drops of patchouli and ylang-ylang (or sandalwood) oils.

I use aromatic baths all the time. Sometimes these are ready-made bombs with aroma oils, but more often I take sea salt and dissolve one or two essential oils in it. I mostly use one because I like mono scents. My favorite oils: for vigor and good mood - tangerine, orange and lemon, for relaxation - mint, incense, spruce, for the prevention of colds and ease of breathing - eucalyptus and juniper, for skin care and as an aphrodisiac - sandalwood and rose. I buy expensive oils from well-known manufacturers and always check on a napkin whether the oil has completely evaporated without leaving a trace (this indicates its naturalness and good quality). My daughter bathes with eucalyptus and juniper extracts when she is sick, because after such a bath her cough and runny nose are reduced, and her throat hurts less. By the way, I can recommend an excellent anti-cold mixture: I bought it ready-made, but you can mix these oils yourself: eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, juniper and fir. It seems to me that this mixture, in addition to making breathing easier, stimulates the immune system, because after using it in the bath at night, in the morning you feel as if you have recovered. I really love natural aromas and cannot imagine my life without essential oils and baths with them.

For sauna

An aromatic sauna is most often used to lose weight, improve skin condition and fight skin diseases, relieve stress, anxiety and insomnia, and improve the condition of the respiratory tract during colds.

A specially reinforced aromatherapy vessel allows for rapid evaporation of aromatic liquid

Sandalwood, juniper or lemon oil (pure or a mixture of all three esters) in an amount of 5 drops per liter of water will help in the fight against overweight and cellulite.
An aroma sauna with herbal oils of celandine, chamomile, sea buckthorn, valerian, sage, yarrow (5 drops per liter of water) will help cure skin diseases.
Thyme, geranium and chamomile oils (separately or mixed in equal proportions) will help cope with insomnia. You need to steam 3 hours before bedtime.
From the very first use, rose essential oil softens and smoothes the skin of the body and face, reduces acne and dermatitis. Approximate proportion for a sauna: 5 drops of oil per liter of water. The combination of rose ether (5 drops) with lemon (3 drops) and mint (3 drops) extracts per 2 liters of water will achieve a pronounced tonic effect for the skin and the whole body.
Neroli (orange flower) essential oil stimulates libido, treats impotence, as well as diseases of the endocrine and hormonal systems, the female intimate sphere, skin diseases. It is best to use it in its pure form for a sauna - from 3 to 6 drops per liter of water.

My personal experience steaming in an aromatic sauna is reduced to dry steam rooms in water parks and bath complexes. Aromatherapy sessions are held there for 10–15 minutes. These are very pleasant procedures where the combinations of oils are professionally selected, as a result of which people leave in a peaceful state and good mood. In one Russian water park, the aromas in the saunas are provided not by oils, but by dry plants, which I really liked because the smells were soft and natural. We were in a hay sauna - there in the center of the steam room there was a large wooden box with hay, which heated up and smelled very tasty. Bunches of hay also hung from the ceiling of the sauna. The second steam room was called the flower room; there were armfuls of dried wildflowers with a charming aroma on the walls and ceiling. Both saunas were magnificent and are still remembered to this day.

For rheumatism and arthritis

Bath procedures help reduce pain and swelling in rheumatism and arthritis, and essential oils enhance the healing effect. Warms up best wet steam Russian bath, but the Finnish sauna will also bring relief.

Mix 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil with rosemary oil (5 drops), cypress (3 drops) and lemon (2 drops);

You can create your own personal set of several scents or use them alternately. The course will consist of 10–15 procedures, 1–2 times a week. These oils can be used both in baths and saunas, and for aromatic baths.

Most often, citrus oils are used to improve mood, as well as rosemary, incense, rose, and geranium.

To strengthen the cardiovascular system

Essential oils of pine and lemon balm improve the condition of the cardiovascular system and normalize blood pressure. Pine aroma helps to recover faster after a heart attack. These products can be used for aromatherapy separately or in equal proportions - 5 drops per 2 liters of water.

Increase blood supply to the heart muscle and increase resistance to physical activity extracts of lavender, mint and geranium. They combine well with each other, so you can create an oil cocktail for the heart from them: 5 drops of lavender, 4 drops of geranium and 3 drops of mint.

Ylang-ylang ester has a beneficial effect on heart function, normalizes heart rate, so it can be added to any oil mixture for a bath

Rosemary essential oil activates the heart and regulates blood pressure: lowers or increases it depending on the needs of the body. Simple and effective recipe: Mix 5 drops of rosemary oil with 4 drops of chamomile essential oil and 2 drops of patchouli. Dissolve in an emulsifier, use in a steam room or for bathing.

Rinsing after a bath with essential oils

Mix 3-5 drops of essential oil with an emulsifier in a liter of water, dip a soft sponge into it and wipe the entire body.

After rinsing, it is better not to wipe off so that the valuable oils are absorbed into the skin.

Any citrus oils are good for rinsing your hair.

To prepare the rubbing mixture, take any moisturizing milk and add 4 drops of rosewood and ginger extracts to it. This composition will have a warming effect and activate blood circulation in problem areas.

You can add 2 drops of tea tree, 2 drops of sandalwood and 1 drop of ylang-ylang to your shampoo for washing your hair. Rub this mixture into your scalp and hair for 5 minutes, then rinse warm water and rinse with cold. This recipe will help relieve nervous tension and reduce headaches.

You can add 3-5 drops of aromatic oil to any hair product, but it is better to take baby shampoo with a neutral composition for this.

In principle, essential oils can be added to any standard cosmetic products, but it is better to use them as a base natural remedies with a simple composition so as not to get an unpredictable chemical reaction.

The aroma of the steam room itself is already pleasant and healthy, but it is the essential oils that turn the bath into a healing procedure that brings true pleasure.

Which essential oils for baths and saunas are most useful in a particular case and how to combine them correctly therapeutic effect aromas, read this article.

Types of essential oils

Esters are classified according to the method of their preparation and their therapeutic effects. To correctly compose an aromatic cocktail, it is important to know what a particular oil can be mixed with and what it is strictly not recommended with. Our ancestors knew the friendship and enmity of aromas for a long time.

Beneficial esters obtained from herbs have a beneficial effect mainly on the skin and are considered rather “feminine” aromas; with rare exceptions, which we will discuss below, they can be complex.
Wood esters, as a rule, have pronounced antiseptic properties, are used to cleanse the body and are conventionally classified as “masculine”.
Citrus aromas universal; they refresh, tone and disinfect the skin, restoring strength and improving mood.

Types of oils

Let's take a closer look at the most effective aromas, which are fully revealed in the steam room and have an excellent healing, tonic and cleansing effect.

Ylang-ylang - an overseas aroma against depression and fatigue

Ylang-ylang essential oil is obtained from the flowers of trees native to Asia. In all countries of this region, ylang-ylang is considered the patron saint of lovers, as it promotes the conception of healthy children, love and peace of mind.
