The Healing Bath: Using Essential Oil Therapy to Balance Body Energy

by Milli D. Austin

Many books discuss the aromatic power of essential oils, but The Healing Bath is the first to focus on using essential oils to cleanse, clear, and heal the energy field surrounding the physical body. If this energy field is damaged, the body's vitality, strength, and overall health and well-being is jeopardized. When energy fields in the subtle bodies are strengthened and energized, deep healing in the physical body is accelerated. This book describes...

Customer Reviews

highly recommended for the serious spiritual seeker

Having studied with Milli in the 90's, and after having done hundreds of baths myself, I have to say that my spiritual journey has been greatly enhanced and quickened as a result of my association with Milli and by taking the Essential Oil Baths. Not only have some of the most profound healings of my life accured whilst taking the Essential Oil Bath therapies, but my love, respect and honour of the plant kingdom, from which the essential oils are derived, has flowered. Aromatherapy, which I studied over 20 years ago, and still practise, barely touches upon the spiritual potential of essential oils.This aspect of healing that can be derived from the baths, is missed and overlooked by many Aromatherapists, who are not taught, and therefore are afraid, to look beyond and outside of their square. I am so grateful to Milli who has had the courage, the insight, the wisdom and compassion to put forth, in a simple manner, a therapy that everyone can benefit from. It is a shame that fear, ignorance and pride could in any way prevent someone from purchasing this book. This book is invaluable to anyone who is serious about emotional and spiritual healing with essential oils.I recommend it wholeheartedly.

This Book Changed My Life in Incredible Ways

I have been using essential oils and aromatherapy a great deal on myself. Milli Austin's book does suggest using essential oils in much higher dosages than most aromatherapists recommend, but if anyone tries her baths, they are life changing. I don't believe she is negligent at all. She is simply attuned to using the oils in a different way than they are generally used. If you are a sensitive person you may want to use a bit less oil than she recommends but her baths do what they are meant to. Taking the baths weekly on a regular basis helped me to get in touch with my issues with anger and emotional inhibition. I had startling past life flashbacks emerge that were very relevant to my life today. I feel like I underwent an absolute transformation using the bath recipes suggested in her book.

This book is a must for those who have a soul inside them !

As the category says it, this book is for "Health, Mind & Body" therefore you will be a bit confused by the reviews planted on the Web, which seem to come from people who hate Ms Austin personally, somehow....I found all this very upsetting, because this book is indeed special, and it is not just for anyone, true. For those who love to read about what the soul is all about, whether you believe or not in reincarnation, you will love Milli Austin's surprising approach and angelic style. Those few who trashed her book did NOT even read her introduction, where the author is stating very clearly that her therapeutical approach should not be defined as simple AROMATHERAPY, because it is not ! Indeed, you will be surprised and pleased and you will want to actually meet this woman in person, as I want to. Even if you do not want to spend money buying this book, go to a library and borrow it, or go to a book-store and read patiently the first 20 pages. Afterwards, you will decide to buy it, provided you have a soul inside you.....God bless Milli Austin.

A giant leap forward in mind/body healing!

One need only listen to the news to become aware of the recent national trend toward spirituality and mind/body healing. Talk shows frequenlty focus on healing the pain of the past and getting in touch with one's spirituality and sense of self. The connection between certain disease and personality types has been established and many authors offer tips on how to prevent falling victim to them. Milli Austin's book, The Healing Bath, presents a healing technique that is on the cutting edge. Her ideas have a spiritual basis which is explained in a simple manner than anyone can understand. She offers formulas for baths using essential oils to heal a variety of problems. While the number of drops of oil recommended in many of the baths is more than is commonly used by aromatherapists, they have proven to be extremely safe and effective. As a therapist, I have had clients who were unable to get to make certain changes in their lives no matter how hard they tried. When they began using Ms. Austin's formulas, they all began to make tremendous breakthroughs and see improvement in their lives without having to relive the trauma and fear that was keeping them stuck in old patterns. I taken the baths myself and found the results spectacular. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with psychological and/or health issues and is ready to "get over it" and move on with their life.
