Course Lesson: Aromatic Baths

Baths are historically honored for supporting health and wellness. This class guides you through the science and therapeutics of a bath (balneotherapy), and the joy of adding essential oils and other supportive ingredients to create a perfect aromatherapeutic bathing experience. You’ll learn essential oil safety, why baths support wellbeing, and how to build a bath that meets your needs. A short bonus segment includes an optional “bath bomb” demonstration.

A therapeutic soak has long been honored as a simple yet profoundly therapeutic practice. A warm bath supports the body through hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy, temperature shifts, and the presence of minerals — all of which can influence circulation, relaxation, and overall wellbeing. When we thoughtfully incorporate essential oils, salts, and herbs, the bath becomes an even more intentional form of self‑care, blending traditional balneotherapy with the art and science of aromatherapy.
This two‑part video class explores how to create a supportive aromatherapeutic bath. You’ll learn why baths are beneficial, how to incorporate essential oils safely, and how salts and other ingredients can enhance the therapeutic experience. A brief bonus segment also demonstrates how to make simple bath fizzies (“bath bombs”) if you’d like to include them in your practice.
In this class, you’ll explore:

• Overall benefits of full‑body baths
• The science behind bathing and “detoxing,” including hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy, and the role of minerals
• A formula for The Perfect Bath
• Incorporating herbs and aromatics into the bath
• Essential oil safety (solubility, dermal irritation, and more)
• Basic science of bath fizzies
• How to make your own bath fizzies (optional bonus)
