Ginger-Forward Bath Soak

Words by Sara Panton

Bathing has long been a ritual that I look forward to, and over the years I have gotten more experimental with how I elevate the experience beyond bubbles and oil.

Adding fresh herbs, flowers, or spices can help create an easy and cost-effective experience with items you likely already have in your kitchen. This simple bath oil includes a little fresh ginger that brings some spice and smells amazing when mixed with hot water.

GINGER-FORWARD BATH SOAK

10 drops Nightcap Essential Oil Blend

1-inch piece peeled fresh ginger

Method

  1. Grate or very finely chop the ginger (reserve as much of the liquid as possible).
  2. Fill a bathtub up with warm or hot water, depending on your preference.
  3. Add the ginger and Nightcap Essential Oil Blend.
  4. Rest and enjoy.

For clean-up, simply drain the tub and remove any ginger pieces to ensure they don’t clog the drain (into the compost they go). And get ready to repeat this easy, relaxing soak.
