The season of the cold and flu is in full swing. People are sneezing and coughing all over the place, there’s no escape. And when you finally start suffering, why would you want to spend all of your money on an artificial remedy when you can make your own natural one at home?
You can also make other types of treatments in this same manner, by replacing some of the oils with oils that are known for treating other problems.
The first stage of making your natural shower bombs is to find some oils that you like. Try to choose a brand that you trust and sells high-quality oils. Be aware that some essential oil companies have started to encourage misuse of oils, so try to avoid these brands.
In terms of which oil flavor to use, this is up to you. Smell the oils and decide which ones you like. Eucalyptus and peppermint are great if you have a cold and are congested, as the strong flavor of eucalyptus will bring out all of the bad mucus and the peppermint will soothe your symptoms.
Ingredients:
Method:
Keep your dried shower bombs in a canning jar – this will release more of their soothing power.
If yours is a little bit crumbly, don’t worry, just adjust your recipe for next time and make sure you add more liquid. Your bombs are still usable, just scoop out two tablespoons of the powder and put it in a dish in the shower.
To use the shower bomb, put it on the floor of your hot shower. The steam from the bomb will help to clear up your sinuses and cold as you shower.
You can also use shower bombs in your bath – just add one to the water!
It’s time to stop relying on chemicals bought from your local pharmacy and start making your own, more powerful remedies today!
