Herbal Spa
The healing
power of herbs for your skin and more...
A healthy alternative to
chemically-laden bath foams, salts and oils, herbal bath blends are both easy
and inexpensive to make. Herbs can be added directly to baths or,
preferably, placed in a bath bag. I put mine in muslin bags, or you can
make a bag out of cheesecloth... or you can even buy the larger tea bags
at health food stores. Add the bath blends after you have filled the tub
with water, otherwise, the therapeutic steam will evaporate
prematurely.
Take a leisurely, highly pleasurable bath and relax the
tension in your muscles and mind away naturally. At the same time, enjoy
conditioning and refreshing your skin from head to toe!
