Why Use Essential Oils in the Shower?
Integrating essential oils into your shower routine has numerous benefits for your overall wellbeing. Here are some compelling reasons why you should try shower aromatherapy:
- Water enhances the absorption of essential oils.
- Steam helps disperse the essential oil molecules throughout the shower space, making it easier to inhale.
- Aromatherapy in the shower can help support respiratory health and ease congestion.
- Essential oils can transform your shower experience into a relaxing and invigorating retreat.
- The practice of pairing oils with your shower routine can contribute to mindfulness and promote self-care.
How to Choose the Right Essential Oils for Your Shower
When choosing essential oils for your shower experience, consider the following factors:
- Purpose: What do you want to achieve with your shower aromatherapy session? Essential oils can be categorized based on their effects, such as relaxation, energy-boost, mental clarity, or stress relief.
- Skin Sensitivity: Certain oils, such as cinnamon or peppermint, can cause skin irritations, especially in higher concentrations. If you have sensitive skin, opt for gentler essential oils like lavender or chamomile.
- Aroma Preferences: Choose oils with scents that appeal to you. Remember that some essential oils can be combined to create customized blends that deliver a unique synergy of benefits.
- Quality: Opt for high-quality, pure essential oils like those found in Oshu Oils’ range. These oils are sourced from trusted suppliers and are expertly blended by our team of aromacologists.

Methods of Using Essential Oils in the Shower
There are several ways to incorporate essential oils into your shower routine:
- Shower Steamers: These tablets are similar to bath bombs but are designed for the shower. They release essential oils when they come in contact with water.
- Aromatherapy Showerheads: Attach specially designed showerheads that can be filled with essential oils and disperse the oil-infused steam during your shower.
- DIY Shower Melts: Mix essential oils with other natural ingredients like baking soda and citric acid to create shower melts that fizz and release aromas when wet.
- Body Wash or Shampoo: Add a few drops of essential oils to your favorite unscented body wash or shampoo for a holistic shower experience.
Essential Oils In Shower Example:
To create a stress-relief shower experience using Oshu Oils’ Harmony blend, consider the following steps:
1. Prepare a shower steamer: Combine 1 cup of baking soda, 1/3 cup of citric acid, and 1/3 cup of cornstarch in a bowl. Slowly add water, stirring until the mixture reaches a moldable consistency. Add 15-20 drops of Harmony blend to the mixture and mix well.
2. Press the mixture into silicone molds (such as cupcake molds) and let them dry overnight.
3. Place one shower steamer on the shower floor, away from the direct stream of water, allowing it to slowly dissolve and release the soothing aroma of the Harmony blend.
