You will need:
2 cups baking soda
1 cup citric acid (found with canning supplies)
20 drops Young Living R.C. Essential Oil Blend*
2 Tbsp water
Step 1 – Mix baking soda and citric acid together. Set aside.
Step 2 – Mix water and essential oil together in a a small bottle
Step 3 – Gradually add oil mixture to baking soda mixture. Very gradually as in 1-3 drops of liquid at a time if you can manage. Stir well after adding each drop until entire mixture is added
Step 4 – Tightly pack mixture into 1 1/2″ balls using your hands. Place on wax paper.
Step 5 – After finishing the last ball, go back to the first ball and pack it tighter. Repeat until balls are so dense and crumbly you can no longer pack them any tighter (I only had to do it twice)
Step 6 – Allow shower steamers to dry overnight. Store away from moisture and humidity.
Makes about 15 steamers at a cost of 35 cents each.
