Instructions

Step 1

Determine what issues you would like to solve. You might have a cold or stress in your life that you would like to deal with better.
Step 2

Consult a book or reference guide on essential oils to determine which ones are appropriate for your problem. For example, lavender is calming and eucalyptus can open your sinuses. Purchase pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils (see Resources below).
Step 3

Sprinkle the essential oils on the walls of your shower, and take deep breaths. If you put the oils on the bottom of your shower, the oil will be washed away.
Step 4

Purchase body washes that already have essential oils in them.
