School is certainly a time when my kids seem to be sharing germs weekly. When they aren’t feeling well they typically request a bath as that in itself seems to help them feel better. I made a master blend of essential oils that are both calming and support their immune systems so it’s perfect for an evening bath.
What you’ll need:
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 2 1/2 Tbsp of Almond Carrier Oil (you can use the carrier of your preference)
- 3/4 Tbsp of water
- Silicone Mold
Essential Oil Master Blend:
- 25 drops Orange Sweet
- 24 drops Ho Wood
- 20 drops Thyme Linalool
- 11 drops Sandalwood Australian
- 4 drops Chamomile German
- Optional, I added 21 drops Manuka
- 5 mL bottle
*Omit Thyme to make this recipe safe for your children under the age of 10*
What you’ll do:
- Mix dry ingredients together.
- Slowly mix in carrier oil and water.
- Push firmly into molds.
- Let dry overnight.
- I mixed my essential oils in with a carrier oil (just to help dilute efficiently even though the bombs themselves already have a carrier oil) and put about 5 drops on each bath bomb the next morning (I was concerned about the essential oils dissipating while being left in open air overnight).
