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.
πΏ 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.
π§ 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
π¬ “Salt holds the memory of Earth. It remembers how to ground you.”
π§π½♀️ 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
π¬ “They applied haldi not just to brides — but to broken spirits too.”
πΊ 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
π¬ “Fragrance is the soul of a flower — it helps soften your own.”
π 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
π 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
π¬ “Neem protects — not just the body, but the unseen layers too.”
π₯ 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
π️ 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.
πͺ 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.
