Soaking Serenity

Baths and Teas for Stress Relief

Autumn is around the corner, time for a warming aromatherapy bath recipe made with comforting essential oils. Fall is the time of year to enjoy being cozy and warm and to appreciate what is around you. There is nothing that instills the warmth of hearth and home in your psyche more than a great essential oil blend and steaming mineral waters. 

My autumn aromatherapy bath uses a blend of grounding and uplifting essential oils and mineral rich sea salts:


  • 1 cup sea salt crystals
  • 4 drops cedarwood essential oil
  • 4 drops patchouli essential oil
  • 4 drops bergamot essential oil
  • 4 drops neroli essential oil
  • 2 teaspooons carrier oil such as olive or apricot kernel


Add the essential oils to your carrier oil. Stir into the sea salts. Pink Himalayan crystal bath salts work well for this autumn aromatherapy blend. They are packed with trace minerals and they are a perfect fall rose color. Use a fine grain for faster dissolving. Mix into your very hot bath water and then slip into the tub once the water is bearable. Dim the lights, play your meditation music, and breathe. This is a great way to welcome autumn with serenity. 

Cedarwood is good for nervous tension, and if you have any arthritis pain creep up during the colder months, a cedarwood and mineral salt bath is a good therapeutic relief option. Patchouli is another woody, comforting essential oil, but it is also really uplifting. Its a classic feel-good oil. Bergamot and neroli are two of the softer citrus oils, perfect for dissolving anxiety and stress.
