Herbal Baths

To make an herbal bath, combine the minced leaves/flowers in a jar, then place two or three tablespoons inside a cotton or muslin bag (sufficiently porous for the herbal essence to pass through, but still prevent the leaves from scattering into the bath water) with a drawstring. Tie it off and place inside the tub as you fill it with water. You may want to add salt for purification baths. Herbal baths may consist of combinations of chamomile, clove, heather, hops, lavendar, lemon balm, marigold, mint, pansy, rose, rosemary, and savory. Think of the benefits of the herbs you are using and call upon the energies of the plants to cleanse, energize, and receive you as you bathe.
