Organic Herbal Bath Tea

Relax


At the end of a long stressful day all I want to do is lock the bathroom door and enjoy a long soak in the tub.  Adding Herbs to your baths can relax the body, stimulate blood flow, calm the emotions.  The following post has instructions for how to make Herbal tea-bags and where to find the ingredients.  Treat yourself to a luxurious herbal bath and make some extra for gifts........ 



Tutorial

To make the bath tea bags I used party favor bags that I picked up in the wedding section of my local mega-mart $3.00 for 12.  Then I filled them with a mixture of Organic dried Jasmine and Lavender purchased from:


Mountain Rose Herbs. A herbs, health and harmony c
This project used about $2.00 worth of herbs.  Place them in a cute basket with a bottle of essential oil and you have a great gift.  

To use:  Hang the tea bag on the bath faucet while running your bath. 

Jasmine
Used in washes and ointments, jasmine flowers are a gentle remedy for inflammation. They reduce both physical irritation and sensitivity to pain.




Lavender

 The German Commission E commended lavender for treating insomnia, nervous stomach, and anxiety. The British Herbal Pharmacopoeia lists lavender as a treatment for flatulence, colic, and depressive headaches, and many modern herbal practitioners use the herb to treat migraines in menopause.

  1. These are so cute! I've made some like this before but I just used some empty tea bags for loose tea, filled them with chamomile (which I love for a relaxing bath right before bedtime) and sewed across the top of the bag to keep it all in there. I always just tossed the whole bag into the bath and then pulled it out after 5-10 minutes, like with a cup of tea :-)
