Lemongrass is a grassy plant that is used in cooking and herbal medicine. With its antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, Lemongrass oil has a lovely, citrus scent which is often used in soaps as well as many other personal care products. It is also known to help with digestive problems, headaches, relieve stress, anxiety and depression and help with high blood pressure.

As with all essential oils, be very careful when using, especially around children and those with pre-existing conditions. Lemongrass may cause an allergic reaction or skin irritation when used topically, so make sure it is properly diluted when using.

To make these shower discs, you will need:

½ cup baking soda
½ cup epsom salts
2 tbsp water
20 drops lemongrass essential oil
Cylinder silicone mold

Making Shower Discs

To make these discs:

Combine all ingredients into a small bowl. Stir well.

Fill 9-12 cavities of the mold with the mixture.

Allow to set for about 48 hours to fully harden.

To Use

To use these shower steamers, drop one at the bottom of the shower where it will get slightly wet, but not soaked. The slower the water hits it the longer it will last and the better it will work.

Other essential oil blends you could use are:

Clear Sinuses – Eucalyptus and Peppermint

Relaxation – Lavender and Bergamot

Clear your Mind – Lemon and Rosemary

Calming – Geranium, Lavender and Rose

Stress Relief – Orange, Clove, Cedarwood and Lemon
