1-2TbspDried Herbs or 20-30 Drops of Essential Oils
2-3TspInfused Herbal Tea or Water
Instructions
Begin by combining the baking soda and water in your mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture forms a thick paste.
Add your essential oils or dried herbs to the mixture, stirring well to combine.
Is using dried herbs, be sure to grind them in a coffee grinder or blender first as you do not want it to clog your shower drain.
Spoon the mixture into your ice cube tray, silicone mold, or muffin tin. Fill each compartment about 3/4 of the way full. You can also use your hands to form the mixture into small rounds or other shapes if you don’t have a mold on hand.
Place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours (or until the mixture is fully hardened).
Once the DIY shower steamers are fully hardened, remove them from the mold and store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them.
To use a shower steamer, simply place it on the floor of your shower (not in direct contact with the water) and let the steam do the rest! Enjoy the relaxing aroma and inhalation benefits as you shower.
Notes
It is important to use unscented epsom salt. Typically scented epsom salt has artifical fragrance which can be harmful to our health.
If you do not have epsom salt, you can replace it with sea salt in this recipe.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Essential oils might stain your fiberglass shower, which is why I use dried herbs.
