There is nothing more relaxing than soaking in a tub that has essential oils added to it. However most people just add their oil drops in as is and call it good. Which is the incorrect way of doing it. When you just add your drops of essential oil to the water the drops float on top and do not disperse through out the water evenly. No matter how much you stir the water the oils will always return to the surface. And then evaporate off of the surface. If you climb into the tub while all of those oils are on the surface your vaginal area will get hit with a high dosage of oils, not so good, and especially tingly if your oil of choice was peppermint. However by mixing your drops of essential oil in with a bit of non-iodized bath salt first you will cause the oils to cling to the salt and disperse evenly through out the bath water as the salt dissolves in the water.
When I make a bath with essential oils I typically place 1/4 cup of salt into a small bowl and then I finger mix my drops of essential oil into the salt. Then when I turn the bath water on I dump the salt into the bath. Rinse the bowl out with the bath water, using the bowl to stir the water and salt together while the salt dissolves. Once the water level is where I like it I climb in.
Just a note: It is best to have the bathroom door closed when doing an essential oil bath. Not only does it keep the room warmer, it also keeps the essential oil atmosphere contained to where you want it. Especially if you are doing a medicinal bath. You can't inhale those good oils if they have all left the room.
