Hello Everyone. I have been in bed recuperating from a cold the past few days so I haven’t had a chance to respond to comments and such. In couple of days I should feel better and will be back on board. :) I hope everyone is well. I am going to leave you with excerpt from my new book that I absolutely love. A Slice of Organic Life. Oh I didn’t write it of course, my new book that’s on my bedside table I meant.

Bathe Using Natural Products

You can use any number of delicious organic essential oil to fragrance your bath. To help them disperse in the water, mix four to ten drops of your chosen oil with one tablespoon of milk first; the fat in two percent or whole milk acts as a carrier to help distribute the oils evenly around the bath. For the greatest benefit, choose essential oils that match your skin type

Oily Skin

Lavender, Orange, Lemon, Neroli, Cypress, Ylang-ylang, Bergamot

Normal Skin

Palma Rosa, Geranium, Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Jasmine, Neroli, Ylang-ylang, frenkincense, sandalwood, patchouli

Sensitive Skin

Geranium, Lavender, German Chamomile

Dry or Damaged Skin

Geranium, Lavender, German Chamomile, Roman Chamomile, Clary Sage, Myrrh,

(Eucalyptus is great when you have the flu or cold. Just drop it into the bath water and inhale deeply… Lavender is great for destressing after a long day also use Chamomile Tea Bags.. work just as well)

Stay Safe Naturally

If you prefer to buy your bath products, make sure they are organic. Encourage your local stores to sell safer products and learn to read and understand the label. Avoid any products that contain the following ingredients:

  • Sodium lauryl sulfate
  • Cocamidopropl Betaine
  • Color (indicated by the letters, CI, followed by a number
  • Parfum

You can order A Slice of Organic Life on Amazon. It has a wealth of information about everything Organic and sustainable living options. I should mention that it’s also on sale at the moment. This book came out this month so it’s brand spanking new..

I am hoping I will be up on my feet again in couple of days.. thanks for the comments. Really love getting them.

    Have you looked into making soap from ash?
    Some girls at my organic farming school had that as a project.

    Oh I am so happy I found this post. I love Lavendar in my bath – mostly for the relaxing aroma, I had NO idea it could help with oily skin. Thanks for sharing.

    We were recently discussing soap on the About My Planet Community. I think you’d like this place.

    That’s a nice post.. sorry you’re poorly, I expect you’re doing overtime with the Eucalyptus at the moment!

    Thanks for reminding me about dispersing essential oils with milk, I saw that somewhere a while back and promptly forgot to give it a try.
