Coming up May 1, 2019 I will being doing a special demo program called Body Beautiful Bath Botanicals (at Schaumburg Library) which will focus on how easy it is to use herbs to enhance your skin, refresh you hair and make your bath experience more relaxingly aromatic.
I will be showing how to make bath and spa items, everything from bath tea to bath salts to lotions, salves and other items. Participants will be able to take home a little something for themselves as part of the program.
I have been debating what recipes to have guests make and one of the must haves is a bath tea blend. The blend I am using is different than the one below, but in my search I found this one that I once sold at the Wheaton History Center gift shop. It is a blend of appropriate Victorian Herbs and flowers with a refreshing traditional scent.
Lavender is balancing and will calm or rejuvenate
depending on your need and what you combine it with. Including rose petals and the geranium essential oil creates a deeply healing blend with this Bath tea.
