Goat Milk Bath Recipes

Milk bath recipes are a relaxing and inexpensive way to rejuvenate your skin, body and mind. These easy, wonderful recipes using goat milk products will make you feel like Cleopatra herself!

Is there any simpler way to go from feeling tired and worn out to feeling refreshed and energetic than a simple, relaxing bath?

And, when you add a few special ingredients, your bath can serve not only to relax you, but can also help revitalize your skin, and ease sore muscles, itching and other problems.

Before you jump in the tub, here are some general guidelines to help make your bathing experience exactly what you need.

• Amounts are only a general guideline. Use more or less of an ingredient based on the amount of bath water, and the specific benefits of the ingredient that you need.
• Larger grained salts will take longer to dissolve than finer grained ones.
• Hot water baths will make you feel fatigued, while warm water will refresh you.
• Essential oils are extremely concentrated. Use only one to a few drops, and learn the properties of each before using, as some may not be appropriate for certain health conditions.
• When using all dry ingredients, you can mix up a recipe in a larger amount, store in an airtight container, and scoop out as desired.

Make Your Own Milk Bath Recipe

• Cornstarch creates a soothing bath that helps stop itching and helps to dry skin (such as for weepy rashes).
• Oatmeal helps gently clean, soothe and stop itching without drying skin like soap.
• Salt is antibacterial, helps clean pores and is very good for skin with eczema. Sea salt contains more beneficial minerals than table salt.
• Baking soda can be used as a gentle cleanser in place of soap. It leaves skin feeling smooth, and also helps relieve itching.
• Cocoa powder is very emollient and helps moisturize skin.
• Honey is a humectant, which means that it helps draw moisture to the skin.
• Epsom salts help reduce swelling, relieve sore muscles and draw toxins from the body.
• Essential oils in baths are used primarily for their aromatherapy properties, but some are also used for their medicinal properties, also. Consult a good guide to essential oils for choosing the oils and amounts that can best benefit you.
• Fresh or powdered goat milk has fats and protein that help moisturize and rejuvenate skin.
• Fermented goat milk products, like buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream and kefir, have lactic acid, which helps remove old skin cells to expose new, younger-looking cells. Use in place of fresh milk if desired.
