Healing Flower Bath Tea Bags
Servings: 2 bags
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp dried calendula flowers
- 2 tbsp dried chamomile flowers
- 2 tbsp dried lavender flowers
- 2 tbsp dried rose petals
Instructions
- Put all the herbs into a bowl and mix them together well.
- Make your own bath tea bag by putting 4 tablespoons of the dried herbs into a sock, old piece of T-shirt fabric, cotton muslin tea bag or just about any kind of tightly woven cloth. Use string or a rubber band and tie the cloth shut to make a sachet/pouch/bath bag with the herbs in the cloth. Secure the fabric tightly so the herbs don’t spill out.
- To use the bath tea bag, hook or loosely tie the sachet of herbs under the tub spout so the water will pour through the bag as your bath fills up.
- Once your bath is drawn, just let the sachet of herbs float in the tub. Squeeze the bath bag several times while you are in the bath. Breathe in the scent and watch the water change color.
- Remove the bath tea bag when you are finished with your bath. Herbal bath tea bags can be used 3 times within about 4 days. If the wet pouch sits around longer than that, it gets moldy. We use the same pouch for 3 days in a row then remove the herbs.
- Rinse the herbs out of the pouch. Wash and dry the material that you used to make the bath tea bag and re-use it.
