I did some herbal baths in my first 6ish weeks postpartum because I was gifted some herbal tea bags for that purpose. I found it wonderfully relaxing and healing. It didn’t occur to me to continue after that, so thanks for the inspiration! My 3 year old son would also love this.

Thank you Kami, I knew about lavender, but now I'm going to try chamomile. Love your saying, "Ask for help in letting go of what you don’t need and let chamomile work its magic".

Kami, I love this idea. Bathing in herbs will enhance my bathing experience 100 fold. You bring the gifts of herbs to thr forefront for practical and everyday experiences, great gifts for the herbal novice and experienced alike. Can’t wait to put it into practice. I’m growing all your suggested herbs except chamomile, hoping to get that growing this year.

…something I do is make the tea in a big kettle first. Bring the water with sage leaves in it just to boiling, switch it off and let is steep for about 5-10 minutes, or longer, and then pour only the tea into the tub, keeping the leaves in the kettle with the lid, much like pouring the water off of a pot of beans or pasta. The tea is a nice dark green and it makes the bath water all a light lovely green. (Sage, that is, I’ve not tried the herbs you mention.)

I have all 5 of these plants in abundance. This is super helpful info. I had been bathing in sage tea because that is another plant I have a LOT of….

I really love this idea. Thank you for sharing it. Kami, you really have explored ways to bring herbal gifts into our lives in very practical ways. You give real gifts to the herbal novice and experienced alike. I’ve used epsom salt and essential oils in baths, but herbs sound so much more beneficial and delightful to me.

In reply to Kami McBride. I’m a baker, so I would use a large sieve or even a splatter screen to remove the flowers. Keep it dedicated for that purpose only.
