I thought I would rummage through my recipes and find a great seasonal bath blend to share each month. I am starting this recipe share with a recipe I think I obtained through the now gone Herb Companion Magazine.
If you like Bath recipes I suggest taking a look at Natural Beauty at Home or Natural Beauty from the Garden by Janice Cox. In fact I found this slightly older YouTube video of her making colored bath salts. Kinda fun, please check it out!
This month's blend is perfect for the winter months which can be very drying, the bath Blend has no salt. The combination of oatmeal and lavender make it soothing to the skin and relaxing to the mind. You can also use it in the summer months to calm the irritation of sunburn and insect bites. It is pretty so you can also display it in a decorative container and it makes a nice gift.
