While the Bath Salts blend Hungarian, Dead Sea, Epsom and Himalayan salts to detoxify and relieve aching muscles. Together, they bring a flavour of the ancient baths of the ‘spa city’ into your home.
Aromatherapy Associates shower oils
If you are not much of a bath person, Aromatherapy Associates has a a wide range of oils that are designed for baths and showers. The Inner Strength oil was developed by the brand’s co-founder Geraldine Howard when she was undergoing cancer treatment, drawing on her extensive studies in aromatherapy to find the most powerful oils to deliver the comfort she needed.
Cardamom and frankincense are combined to help you recover from feeling run down, while clary sage offers clarity. It is great for moments of high stress when you feel you need to check out and reset, but also for less intense emotional periods when you feel tired and need a bit of an uplift.
