The sensual delight of taking a bath in aromatic oils goes back to the Romans, who raised bathing to a high art. The public baths consisted of three parts: first you went to the unctuarium, where you were anointed in oils. Then you proceeded to the frigidarium, where you took a cold bath, then to the tepidarium for a tepid one. You finished with a hot bath in the caldarium. While we don’t bathe as the Romans did, we can indulge in the essence of the practice.

4 drops bergamot essential oil

4 drops lavender essential oil

2 drops clary sage essential oil

Run a warm bath. Drop the essential oils into the stream of water. Slide in, and relax for 10 to 15 minutes.
