What to Add to Your Bath to Clear Energy, Ward Off the Evil Eye & Feel Whole Again
A ritual from the old homes that knew how to heal body, mind, and unseen energies.
🌿 Bathing, in India, Was
Never Just Physical
From Karthika masam dips in rivers to the small metal
lotas filled with turmeric water, we always knew:
Water purifies the body — but with the right intentions
and additions, it can also cleanse your energy.
Our grandmothers didn’t call it “energy detox” — they just knew
when to add rock salt to your bath, or why a pinch of turmeric made the body
feel lighter, calmer, more protected.
In today’s terms, this is your spiritual hygiene — and we are all overdue for a reminder.
🧂 1. Rock Salt (Sendha
Namak or Himalayan Salt)
Why: Absorbs negative energy, clears auric field,
restores energetic balance
How to Use:
- Add
1–2 tablespoons of rock salt to a bucket of warm water
- Pour
over your body after regular bath (never before soap)
- Don’t
towel-dry — let the salt water evaporate naturally
💬 “Salt holds the memory of Earth. It remembers how to ground you.”
🧘🏽♀️ 2. Turmeric
(Haldi)
Why: Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and
spiritually purifying
How to Use:
- Add ½
teaspoon to warm water or mix with neem powder for a paste
- Ideal
during periods of healing, low energy, or after emotionally intense events
💬 “They applied haldi not just to brides — but to broken spirits too.”
🌺 3. Rose or Jasmine
Petals
Why: Soothes the emotional body, uplifts the senses
How to Use:
- Add
fresh petals or 4–5 drops of rose essential oil to your final rinse
- Especially
powerful after arguments, grief, or hormonal shifts
💬 “Fragrance is the soul of a flower — it helps soften your own.”
🍋 4. Lemon Slices or
Juice
Why: Cuts through heavy or stagnant energy
How to Use:
- Squeeze
half a lemon into your bucket (avoid sensitive skin contact)
- Best used when you feel drained, “off,” or someone’s harsh words linger too long
🍃 5. Neem Leaves or
Powder
Why: Clears both skin and energetic infections
How to Use:
- Boil
neem leaves, strain, and add to bath water
- Traditionally
used after illness or ritual exposure to crowds
💬 “Neem protects — not just the body, but the unseen layers too.”
🔥 6. Camphor (Kapoor)
Why: Used in aarti for a reason — removes negative
vibrations instantly
How to Use:
- Crush
a small piece and dissolve in hot water bucket
- Avoid sensitive areas — use only in ritual context, not daily
🕊️ A Small Ritual for You
Before pouring water over your head, whisper:
“Let this water take away what is not mine to carry.”
It’s not about superstition. It’s about remembering:
Water listens.
Salt remembers.
Your body knows.
🪔 Final Words from the
Old Days
“They used to say — if your child is cranky for no
reason, bathe them with salt and turmeric.
If your home feels heavy, clean the floors with neem water.
If you feel dull after a visit, bathe before bed.”
None of this was dramatic. It was daily.
Simple, sacred, quiet.
