Homemade Oatmeal Bath Recipes
Always consult your physician if you have high blood pressure, are pregnant
or have other medical concerns before using essential oils or herbs.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
MAKE YOUR OWN COLLOIDAL OATMEAL BATH
1 cup oatmeal (quick or slow-cooking)
Blend or process the oatmeal in your blender or food processor until you have a very fine powder (pulverized). This helps the oatmeal absorb liquid.
To test the colloid property of your oatmeal, gently stir 1 tablespoon into a glass of warm water. If the oatmeal readily absorbs the water and give it a milky look and a silky feel, you’ve processed it enough. If the oatmeal simply sinks to the bottom of the glass, it needs to be processed further.
Sprinkle the oats into a tub of running water and stir the water with your hand several times to ensure even distribution. For babies, use 1/3 cup.
