These aromatherapy shower steamers recipes and blends are just what you’re looking for. You can make these easy shower fizzies to invigorate or soothe. Let’s get started.

Learn how to make shower steamers and fizzies for aromatherapy benefits

Aromatherapy Shower Steamers

It’s no secret that there are people who do.not.take.baths.ever. Unless I’m in a very relaxing setting (a.k.a. vacation), I don’t. And 99% of the bath bombs I make are for my daughter, friends and family members, or to be given as gifts.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t take part in the benefits of healthy scents of aromatherapy shower fizzies. Just this morning, I combined two: a strawberry fields blend (strawberry + lemongrass) and a coconut.

It was heaven and was the perfect thing after an early morning workout. So I’m going to share a bit about these fun and beneficial additions to your DIY beauty and bath arsenal.

Aromatherapy Shower Fizzies – Recipes and Oil Blends

There isn’t a specific amount I will give you for each of these, though I will say I list them in decreasing order. As you can tell by the shower steamer ingredients below, you can use much more scent oil in shower steamers.

Shower Fizzy Blends to Invigorate and Awaken

  • citrus blends (lemon, grapefruit, orange, tangerine, etc.)
  • peppermint and lemon (trust me, it’s the bomb-diggity)
  • lemongrass and a citrus (we like orange)

Shower Steamer Blends to Soothe and Relax

  • lavender and most anything (our favorite is vanilla)
  • ylang-ylang and bergamot or lavender (you can even try all three together)
  • cedarwood and orange (great for men!)

Blends to Heal

  • sinus congestion – eucalyptus, peppermint, and lavender
  • cold – lemon and eucalyptus
  • mood booster – lemon and rosemary

Shower Steamer Recipe – Quick Melt Shower Fizzy Recipe

If you’re the type to take quick showers and want a big aromatherapy benefit during that time, this quick-acting shower steamer recipe is for you.

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup water
  • add 25 drops essential oils (see above for our favorite blends)

Note: you can bake the shower fizzies at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes, however, this is unnecessary unless you live in a very humid climate.

  • 1/2 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
  • 1/4 cup citric acid
  • 20-25 drops of essential oils (can substitute fragrance oil)
  • witch hazel (in a spray bottle for moistening the mix)

  5. Pop out the shower fizzies and let them dry overnight.
