Minty Fresh Shower Steamers
Waking up in the morning sniffling and sneezing can put a damper on our day and keep us from enjoying our favorite cold-weather activities. A hot steamy shower with a Minty Fresh Shower Steamer first thing in the morning can help us kick uncomfortable cold and flu symptoms to the curb and enjoy the day. The soothing, cooling, and revitalizing blend of peppermint, lemon, and spearmint essential oils may help to clear up pesky coughs and congestion, promote easier breathing, and improve energy levels.
Ingredients
- Witch Hazel Extract in a Misting Spray Bottle
- Hard Plastic or Metal Molds
- 1 cup of Citric Acid
- 2 cups of Baking Soda
- 10 drops of Distiller’s Edition Single Batch Peppermint Oil
- 10 drops of Lemon Essential Oil
- 5 drops of Distiller’s Edition Single Batch Spearmint Oil
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well using your hands. Spritz a small amount of witch hazel onto the top of the powder mixture and stir it in. Repeat this process until the mixture packs together easily with a texture similar to wet sand. Scoop the mixture into each mold one at a time and pack them down tightly. Allow them to dry for at least 24 hours. To use, take 1 steamer into the shower with you and wet it under the stream of water to get it started. Place the steamer at the far end of the bath/shower stall. Not putting it directly under the water will help it last longer.
