To understand a little more about the popcorn bath, it is necessary to understand everything that is involved in the practice, such as the related Orixás and the meaning that food has for them, which are sources of infinite energy.

Obaluaiê is the Orisha that has the greatest connection with popcorn, something present in its history. In this way, the Orisha is connected to a food that, in Umbanda, for example, has become a great symbol of it and spiritual cleansing.

Therefore, popcorn began to be used in various purification rituals, as it has a very strong power to eliminate negative energies from environments and people who go through the process. Learn more about the history of the popcorn bath and how it is made below!

The history and origin of the practice of popcorn bathing are related to the orixá Obaluaiê and come from a time when there was a celebration with the presence of all the Orixás. Obaluaiê, as much as he wanted to participate, was ashamed of his skin disease.

Then he began to look at the party from afar. Ogum was the one who noticed his anguish and offered him a straw garment, so that he could cover himself up and enjoy the festivities. Curious about the figure, Iansã released her winds and, in the moment of enchantment, the wounds of the Orisha jumped from her body and turned into popcorn, which spread throughout the place.

Popcorn bath is a powerful work done to protect and eliminate negative energies. It is made through the line of the Orisha Obaluaiê, due to the connection in its history with this food.

That way, the bath is done with the purpose of ending the negative energies around some place or person and can ensure that this person has protection in their health. Bathing can also provide improvements in the life of someone else, someone for whom the work will be dedicated.

The ingredients used for the popcorn bath, in general, are: cold water, coarse salt and popped popcorn kernels. All of them must be mixed together in a container and then it is necessary that they remain for two days at rest for use.

On the third day, the mixture can be used for bathing. Just pour it all over your body, keeping in mind that this will purify your body. Thus, you will feel all the negative energies leaving you and the evil that oppresses you will be expelled from your life.

Popcorn baths are very powerful and, by themselves, can purify and eliminate negative energies from a person’s life. However, some other practices are often used to enhance them.

In some cases, palm oil can be used, which must be heated in a pan. In addition, before the popcorn is placed, a handful of sand from the beach can also be poured, in order to enhance the bath, which, in this case, is done for unloading.

Some care must be taken when performing the popcorn bath, because, as there are specific baths for certain situations, some actions can harm the process and have an unexpected effect.

For protective baths, for example, it is recommended not to use palm oil to prepare popcorn. Another important fact is that microwave popcorn should never be used for this type of procedure. Everything must be done with natural corn and with specific measures for one or more people.

Obaluiaê’s bath for protection serves to eliminate all the evil that surrounds them from people’s lives. With the strength of this Orisha and popcorn, the procedure aims to bring more peace and quiet to each individual’s life.

Therefore, it is necessary to be very careful when carrying out all these procedures, as it is something very serious and linked to the Orisha of protection. In this way, following the measurements and indications is ideal for the procedure to occur correctly and for the bath to have its objective fulfilled.

For the bath to work, it is also indicated that everything is done in a suitable and calm place, which provides the person with the necessary peace to concentrate on their requests. See more about the popcorn bath for protection below!

Obaluaiê is the most feared Orisha of all. He can be called by other names, like Omolu. Responsible for earth, fire and death, the power of the Orisha is greatly feared by humans, as he has great strength and is able to see all the deepest details of people.

In addition, another characteristic of Obaluaiê is that he is seen as the protector of the poorest, because he knows the suffering of having an illness and does not want people to suffer for any pain they carry in their lives.

Popcorn is of great importance to Omulú, due to its history. No wonder he became the Orixá of ills. Due to his own illness, this Omulú hid from the others.

But, when he was helped by Ogun to hide his wounds and get closer to the others, a magical moment happened through the winds of Iansã: his wounds became popcorn. The symbology, therefore, shows the strength that this Orisha has in relation to healing and, therefore, popcorn is used in Umbanda in this way.

The popcorn baths made for Omulú are all in search of protection and health, due to the characteristics of this powerful Orisha, whose main objective is to provide safety for people. Therefore, the indication is baths that contain simpler ingredients, with corn, olive oil and water.

In addition, other ingredients used in common Umbanda procedures are not necessary, because this is a purer work, which aims at cleaning energies in a simplified way, in search of good health.

To perform Omulú’s popcorn bath, you need to have popcorn, 3 spoons of olive oil, 2 liters of water and containers to put the popcorn. Also, later you will need a vessel in which the bath will be prepared.

Popcorn should be prepared with oil in the normal way, without salt or any other type of ingredient. She needs to be reserved in a basin, to cool off. Right after that, put the popcorn in a mug with a liter of water and let it boil.

The popcorn with water should then be strained and set aside in a bucket until it cools down. Once everything is cold, take it to the shower and, first, do your usual hygiene. Only then, pour the popcorn bath all over the body.

The popcorn bath to get rid of negative energies helps people to feel better, especially when they feel energetically heavy and believe that their lives are being harmed by it.

The procedure is quite simple, but it must be done respectfully towards entities, especially Obaluaiê. Therefore, follow the instructions correctly and do the whole process with respect.

All popcorn baths must be made following the specifications and also the amounts highlighted, as any change may not have the desired effect. To understand more, keep reading below!
