Oatmeal baths are good to help a variety of skin conditions from psoriasis to eczema, chicken pox, and poison ivy. Oatmeal can be moisturizing, soothing, and inflammation-relieving for the skin. We added baking soda which can soothe the inflamed skin and reduce irritation and itching. Lavender oil in an oatmeal bath is also helpful, as it is considering relaxing in aromatherapy. Plus, adding tea tree oil is beneficial, as it is antiseptic and antibacterial.

 

This package is actually good for 2 bath treatments. 

Ingredients and their benefits:

 

Colloidal Oatmeal: is used as it is a gentle exfoliate and has an abundance of skin-soothing properties.

 

Epson Salt: In water, it breaks down into magnesium and sulfate. Epsom salt bath gets into your body through your skin. That hasn't been proven, but just soaking in warm water can help relax muscles and loosen stiff joints as it reduces pain and swelling

 

Baking Soda:  has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that can help fight harmful bacteria.

 

Here are the essential oils:

 

Lavender: has a soothing antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that make it valuable for many skin types.

How to Prepare an Oatmeal Bath

• Make sure the water is lukewarm, not hot.
