Invigorating Peppermint Bath


From the Kitchen of:  Aunt Sadie
Source:  Aunt Sadie's Scrapbook

The powerfully minty aroma of peppermint can make an ordinary bath an invigorating experience.

As you fill the bath add 5 to 10 drops of peppermint essential oil. Stir the water to disperse the oil before entering. Alternatively you can add the drops of oil to unscented bath salts or bubble bath; Add 5 to 10 drops per ounce of bath salt or bubble bath and pour the mixture into the tub.

Suggested additions: Replace some of the drops of peppermint with one or more of the following oils to create your own distinctly fragrant blend: spearmint, lemon, basil, rosemary, lavender.
