Hand Care Preparations Using Essential Oils
Aromatic Hand Soap
One 4-ounce bottle of high quality liquid castile soap 40 drops of up to four essential oils of your choice (see suggestions below)
Combine soap and essential oils in an old lotion or hand soap pump bottle. Add a pump or two of soap to a moistened nail brush and work up a good lather, then rinse thoroughly. Push the cuticle back gently with a hand towel. This is a high concentration of oils, but it is necessary to disinfect and much of it is actually washed down the drain with the dirt and grime.
Suggested Oils: Lemon, Lavender, Juniper, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Pine, Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Grapefruit, Tea Tree, and Clary Sage.
