As a busy mom, finding time for self-care can feel like a Herculean task. Between school runs, work deadlines, and making sure everyone else is fed and happy, a relaxing bath often falls by the wayside. But that doesn't mean I have to sacrifice those little moments of tranquility. I discovered a fantastic solution: doTERRA Breathe Shower Aromatherapy Pods! They're incredibly easy to make, and they transform even the quickest shower into a mini spa experience.
The idea hit me one particularly hectic morning. I was rushing to get ready, feeling stressed and a little congested. I craved the soothing effects of essential oils but didn't have the time for a bath. That's when I started experimenting. I knew I wanted to create something convenient and quick, something that could bring the spa-like qualities of aromatherapy into my daily shower routine. After some trial and error, these shower pods became my go-to for a revitalizing and calming shower experience, even on my busiest days.
The beauty of these shower pods lies in their simplicity. They require just three ingredients: baking soda, water, and doTERRA Breathe Respiratory Blend. The baking soda acts as a base, the water helps to create a smooth consistency, and the doTERRA Breathe blend delivers its amazing aroma and therapeutic benefits. I’ve experimented with other essential oils too. Eucalyptus adds a wonderful refreshing scent while peppermint adds a zesty wake-up call for those mornings when I need an extra boost. Lavender is perfect for those evenings when a relaxing, calming shower is just what the doctor ordered.
Making the pods is a breeze. It's a project that you can easily do on a weekend afternoon, creating enough to last for weeks. Simply mix the baking soda and water, add your chosen essential oil blend, and then pack the mixture into small silicone molds. I use ice cube trays, which work perfectly. Let them set overnight, and you're ready to go! Place a pod in your shower, away from the direct water spray, and let the steam do its magic. The scent is subtle yet effective, filling the shower with a calming and invigorating aroma. The shower pods are best stored in an airtight container to help maintain the potency and prevent the precious essential oils from evaporating too quickly. Remember to use them within a week to get the best results.
