Adding essential oils to a bath makes the experience even more relaxing, or invigorating, than usual. Add about five drops of your favorite oil to your bathtub, or try one of the recipes listed here (after it has filled), stir the water, and soak for at least fifteen minutes. As a general rule, do not exceed ten drops of total essential oils
per bath, and try to keep it around five for maximum effectiveness. Please read all the warnings at the bottom before using. (d. stands for drops)
