DIY Homemade Shampoo

February 7, by Nellie Lee Luhrmann. 5 Comments

 

Below is a free DIY recipe for an all natural chemical free shampoo that you can make yourself at home.

Think of the money you will save by making your own DIY shampoo using the following recipe.

Use this as a base and add your own essential oils to suit your hair type.

¼ cup distilled water  ( deionized water is ok )

¼ cup liquid castile soap ( I use unscented )

½ teaspoon jojoba, grapeseed or other light vegetable oil.

Mix together all the ingredients.

Store in a bottle.

Shake before use.

This mixture isn’t as thick as commercial shampoos – you’ll need to just tilt the bottle over your head.

I am really impressed with how much lather I get from it though

For best results the first time you try this, give your hair an intensive cleanse prior to shampooing hair.

If you would like to thicken up the shampoo so it’s not quite so runny add ¼ teaspoon of xantham gum for every 250ml of shampoo made.

You can purchase xantham gum from most health food shops.

Xantham Gum is all natural and does not leave a film or residue.

    I can’t believe how simple it is to make a homemade shampoo. I only use certified organic shampoo to avoid any chemical preservatives. Even some of the so-called natural or organic shampoos contain questionable chemicals.

DIY Aphrodisiac Rose Petal Shower Steamers

After a long day, there’s nothing more relaxing than a warm shower to help wash away your stress and worries. But what if you could take your shower to the next level and make it even more luxurious? Enter: shower steamers. These small, aromatic tablets fizz in the shower, releasing a soothing scent that can help calm your mind and relax your body. And the best part? You can make them yourself!

In this article, we’ll show you how to make your own DIY rose petal shower steamers. These shower steamers are not only easy to make, but they’re also made with all-natural ingredients and are completely customizable to your preferences.

Tutorial:

Here’s what you’ll need to make your DIY rose petal shower steamers:

1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons dried rose petals
10-15 drops of rose essential oil
1-2 tablespoons of water
Mixing bowl
Silicone mold

Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch. Whisk together until well combined. Then, add the dried rose petals to the mixture and stir until they’re evenly distributed.

Step 2: Add the essential oil

Add 10-15 drops of rose essential oil to the dry mixture. Use a spoon to stir the mixture well, making sure that the essential oil is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 3: Add water

Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the mixture, starting with one tablespoon and adding more as needed. Use a spoon to mix the water into the mixture, making sure that it’s evenly distributed. You want the mixture to be moist enough to hold together when you press it into the silicone mold.

Step 4: Press the mixture into the mold

Scoop the mixture into a silicone mold, pressing it down firmly with your fingers. You can use any shape or size of mold that you like, but we recommend using a small round mold that’s the size of a shower disc.

Step 5: Let the shower steamers dry

Let the shower steamers sit in the mold for at least 24 hours or until they’re completely dry. Once they’re dry, gently remove them from the mold and store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them.

To use your DIY rose petal shower steamers, simply place one in the corner of your shower or bathtub, away from the direct stream of water. The steam and water from your shower will activate the shower steamer, releasing the aroma of roses and helping you to relax and unwind.

 With just a few simple ingredients, you can create your own luxurious DIY rose petal shower steamers. These shower steamers are the perfect way to turn your regular shower routine into a spa-like experience, and they make great gifts for friends and family who could use a little extra relaxation in their lives. So, give them a try and let us know what you think!

So why are Roses classed as an aphrodisiac? 

Rose has long been associated with love, romance, and sensuality. Its intoxicating fragrance and delicate petals make it a popular symbol of passion and desire. But beyond its aesthetic appeal, rose has also been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of rose as an aphrodisiac and how it can enhance your romantic life.

One of the primary ways that rose acts as an aphrodisiac is through its aroma. The scent of rose has been shown to have a calming effect on the body and mind, reducing stress and anxiety. This can help create an environment that is more conducive to intimacy, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the moment.

In addition to its calming properties, the scent of rose also has a direct effect on the brain. When we inhale the scent of rose, it activates the limbic system, which is responsible for regulating our emotions and sexual response. This can lead to an increase in feelings of arousal and desire, making rose a powerful tool for enhancing your romantic life.

But the benefits of rose don’t stop at its aroma. Rose also has a number of physical properties that make it an ideal aphrodisiac. For one, it is rich in antioxidants, which can help improve blood flow and circulation. This can help increase sensitivity and sensation, making physical intimacy more pleasurable.

Rose is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe and nourish the skin. This can be especially beneficial in the context of intimacy, as it can help create a more comfortable and enjoyable experience. Additionally, rose has been shown to have a mild analgesic effect, which can help reduce pain and discomfort.

There are a number of ways to incorporate rose into your romantic life. One simple way is to use rose essential oil in a diffuser or as a massage oil. This can help create a relaxing and sensual atmosphere, while also providing the physical benefits of rose. Another option is to add rose petals to a bath or use them to create a romantic ambiance in the bedroom.

But perhaps the most effective way to use rose as an aphrodisiac is through its consumption. In traditional medicine, rose has long been used as a natural remedy for sexual dysfunction and low libido. It is believed that the phytochemicals present in rose can help increase testosterone levels in men and balance hormones in women, leading to an increase in sexual desire and performance.

To enjoy the aphrodisiac benefits of rose through consumption, there are a number of options. One simple way is to brew a cup of rose tea, which can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with other herbs and spices. Rose can also be added to smoothies, juices, and other drinks, providing a delicious and healthy way to enhance your romantic life.

In conclusion, the benefits of rose as an aphrodisiac are numerous and well-established. Whether you are looking to enhance your romantic life, reduce stress and anxiety, or simply enjoy the delicious aroma and flavor of this beloved flower, rose is a powerful and versatile tool. So the next time you’re looking to spice things up in the bedroom, consider reaching for some rose petals or essential oil – your body and mind will thank you!
