Known for its long-held reputation of possessing anti-bacterial, anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory and sedative properties, chamomile bath makes an outstanding muscle relaxant and stress reliever. It contains potent substances that influence the brain and the nervous system. In addition to its anti-anxiety effects, chamomile is also beneficial to those suffering from insomnia because it induces high quality and longer sleep. Aside from its ability to speed up the healing of wounds and burns, chamomile bath also helps in soothing skin rashes which include eczema, sunburn and minor burns.

Cardamom is probably one of the most aromatic and therapeutic herbs you can add to your bath. Cardamom oil is known for its ability to reduce stress and fight against depression. It also contains powerful antioxidants that help the body fight against stress, aging and sicknesses. A combination of essential oils like bergamot, chamomile and bergamot produces an aroma that is believed to be effective in revitalizing one’s sense, bring clarity, uplifting the spirit and easing mental fatigue.

Derived from the peels of bergamot (a citrus fruit), bergamot essential oil is a popular and uplifting oil considered by aromatherapists to have many benefits. When added into bath, bergamot oil releases aroma compounds like alpha-pinene, limonene, myrcene, linalool, geraniol and nerol, that are absorbed by the bloodstream or the olfactory nerves. These phytochemicals are known for their stimulating and soothing effects to the body that encourages positive outlook and joyful mood. It also helps in alleviating lethargy and depression as well as in relieving nervous tension, anxiety and stress. In times of sadness and depression, bergamot oil plays a vital role in improving circulation which results to the feelings of joy, freshness and increased energy.
