Body Nourishing Wash

First day emulsion

Beautiful salt crystal formation

This salt bath is my first milestone in basic energy healing modality. It was originally inspired by special bath mix based on natural extracts to nourish the skin. I refined the formula and gotten quite some experience with this. Today I employ Ganges water, considered holy water among Hindus, to blend with Himalaya salt for purpose of dispelling negativity. Upon application this blend gives warm sensation on skin, a characteristic of glycerin, and diffuses essential oil into the air. This blend function as energetic cleanser for pre-meditative work. It assists cleansing via sense of touch and sense of smell.

This creation was originally based on moisturizing content of coconut oil + glycerin and healing properties of salt + lemon extract. When shaken, the co-operative components of this blend will mix for pouring onto skin. At this point, the grainy fine salt can scrub the skin using bath sponge or just smooth over using palm. It doubles as a salt bath. This blend is intended to wash off easily using water, however, primarily intended use after an initial round of soaping. At minimum, wet the skin before applying or it draws out moisture from skin instead due hygroscopic effect of glycerin.

At the end of a bathe, opening the shower door will fill the adjacent room with essential oils' aroma.

Compare color with Shokubutsu bath and charcoal

The color pink is natural which come from iron naturally present in Himalaya mountain salt and white of Shokubutsu shower cream. Salt are antiseptic in nature and will sting open sores, cuts and wounds.






I used Shokubutsu (original edition for its plant based formula) to substitute as cleansing component. Lemon essential oil is added by several milliliters (not just few drops) and together they form the base. Essential oils can be added for future blending. Habitually, I have been producing the base always having lemon oil regardless what future oils I may add in the future.

There is no Sodium Laureth Sulfate in this formula but it still contains synthetic aromatic component. After the blend sets in for a week, will I imbue with lavender oil or combination natural plant oil. This blend works best with lavender oil, in my experience. I have even tried rose extract in glycerin, honey and there's a weird coloring reaction in all experiments; and that's another story.

Seventh day state displays unstable emulsion

Course grain rock salt has been added as experimental attempt to control salt saturation. The idea is that the wearing away of fine salt due to day-to-day agitation can be subdued.
The shake-before-use is required due to unstable emulsion that separates to cleansing substrate, glycerin and salt components, to mix them all together again.
 










The original inspiration is use 101% plant or natural based cleansing shower. More research needed. My next attempt investigate the use of heat for stability of the emulsion as it tend to separate (notice photo) within a few hours. The presence of synthetic fragrance can possibly be resolved by using Esperia's fragrance- free body wash.
