You can have your very own spa experience in the shower at home. Just make this recipe for essential oil shower disks and place them on the floor in the shower. As the water and steam hit the disk, wonderful scents will be released. You will even reap a variety of therapeutic benefits depending on which essential oils you choose to put in you disks!

Here is the basic recipe:

2. Mix in approximately 15 drops of each oil (less for peppermint).

4. Place in sun for 12-24 hours, until dry
5. Remove disks from muffin pan. You may leave the paper on or gently remove it before placing disk in shower.
6. Enjoy the headache relief, sinus decongestion or calming effect you will feel as you shower!
