Stress Relieving Bath Bombs
There are a lot of different ways to manage stress in your life. And, I try to do as many as possible. For the most part, my essential oils, journaling, and yoga work quite well to manage stress on most days.
Do bath bombs help you relax?
I don’t know about you, but a long hot soak in the tub helps me relax no matter what. And, yes, adding a bath bomb like these stress-relieving bath bombs certainly makes it even more relaxing. The homemade bath bombs that I use have essential oils in them. And, many essential oils are known for their relaxing properties. This chamomile bath bomb is one of my favorites. Grab the bath bomb instructions and try it yourself. Or, you can check out a few of these easy essential oil crafts.
What can I put in my bath to relieve stress?
Many essential oils are known for their stress-relieving properties. Because oil and water don’t mix, it’s best to add the essential oils to a bath bomb or bath scrub to get the full benefits. Here are a few essential oils you can try. These stress-relieving bath bombs use clary sage essential oil. You can also diffuse them.
Aromatherapy bath bombs
So, aromatherapy bath bombs are simply bath bombs that provide wellness support by the aroma or scent of the product. Almost any bath bomb recipe that uses essential oils will provide aromatherapy results. But, if you purchase or make bath bombs with fragrance oils, you will not be getting aromatherapy bath bombs. The stress-relieving bath bombs recipe below uses real essential oils and not fragrance oils. So, you will be getting the benefits of aromatherapy.
PMS bath bomb
If you’re looking for a PMS bath bomb, you’re in luck. Clary sage essential oil has been used for both menopause and cramping relief. You may experience some relief of your symptoms by relaxing in a tub with these stress-relieving bath bombs that use clary sage essential oils.

Dried Spirulina & Matcha Bath Bombs Recipe
Supplies:
1 cup powdered buttermilk
1/4 cup arrowroot
2 cups baking soda
1/4 cup kaolin clay
1/4 cup dead sea salts
A large mixing bowl
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon cupuacu butter
Stainless steel bath bomb molds
10-20 drops of clary sage essential oil
1-2 tablespoons spirulina powder
Spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol
1-2 tablespoons green tea Matcha powder
2 smaller mixing bowls
The number of bath bombs this recipe will make completely depends on which size bath bomb mold you use. The photos here show 1 large, 2 medium and 2 small.
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, add the baking soda, buttermilk, arrowroot powder (this is an organic and eco-friendly starch), kaolin clay and dead sea salts. Whisk dry ingredients together.
Add the coconut oil. This binds all the ingredients together, so you don’t have bath bombs that crumble. You can also use 90% isopropyl alcohol, but I feel the coconut oil holds the mixture together more effectively.
Add the cupuacu butter. This gives your bath bombs more stability and hardens them, so your bath bombs don’t crumble when you touch them. It also is excellent for moisturizing your skin.
Add the clary sage essential oil. Mix ingredients thoroughly. You may need to use your hands to break down any lumps and make sure everything is mixed in. The mixture is perfect when it holds together when you press it into your hands and feels like wet sand. Separate mixture into two smaller bowls.
Mix in the spirulina powder in one bowl and the green tea Matcha powder in the other until completely incorporated into the mixture.
Fill one side of the mold with the spirulina mixture and the other side with the green tea matcha. You can also layer them on each side. Press molds together and grind to remove the excess mixture. Gently tap each side of the mold to release the bombs.
Allow to dry a minimum of 24 hours. If your climate is wet or cold, allow an additional 24 hours. My rule of thumb is that when it is hard to the touch, they are ready for the tub! Store in an airtight container until ready for use.
