Pina Colada Bath Oil

Pineapple essential oil helps to reduce joint inflammati­on, soothe the effects of coughs and colds and boost the body’s immune system. Gardenia has anti-inflammato­ry as well as stress-reducing properties. You can use fragrance oil instead of essential oil to reduce costs, but be aware that these do not have therapeuti­c properties.

Ingredient­s • 1/8 cup canola oil • 1/8 cup apricot oil • 10 drops pineapple essential oil • 10 drops gardenia absolute • 10 drops coconut fragrance oil

Mix all ingredient­s together and store in a dark bottle until ready to use. Add a few drops to the water as you fill your bath.
