Adding green tea to your bath
salts can add a “zen” theme to your bath. The antioxidant rich
qualities of green tea will enhance your skin with anti-aging benefits. Add
some quiet moments of meditation or reflection in the bath for a deeply
relaxing experience!
Green tea can be purchased
in bulk, or by tearing open tea bags. The Epsom salts can be obtained in the
pharmacy section and sea salt from the cooking section of the store.
I used food coloring to color half
of the salts green, though this part is optional. To avoid having tea
leaves stuck to the tub, I suggest placing the mixture in a bag or square of
cloth before using.
You can find muslin bags at a
health food or craft store, along with the jasmine essential oil.
Green Tea Bath Salts
1 cup Epsom salts
1 cup Sea salts
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup bulk green tea, or green
tea powder
12-20 drops jasmine essential oil
5-8 drops green food coloring
(optional)
Mix well and store in an airtight
container. Keep in a cool, dark place, as sunlight can degrade essential oil.
To USE:
Use 1 cup per bath. Add to running
hot water to dissolve. Sit back and become “one” with the bath!
An alternate way to prepare this
bath is to brew 3 or 4 green tea bags in a pot. After 10-15 min, add directly
to the bathwater, along with the salts and jasmine.
