September is fraught with worry this year as school starts and Covid-19 rages, so I thought a bath blend that would give you energy and help you de-stress might be in order. This blend can be placed in muslin bags and used as needed in a warm bath. If you are more of a shower person, grate some gentle soap and mix into each bag and use as a bath scrub. They can be used over and over until soap or scent is gone.
The herbs in this blend have both energizing and relaxing attributes which can help both with their vital chemicals and the aroma:
Lavender – is balancing will calm or rejuvenate
Lemongrass – is antiviral, anti-bacterial
Spearmint – is an antioxidant which is good against stress and has some
anti-viral attributes
Peppermint – is effective against stress headaches
Relaxing and
Energizing Bath Sachet Blend
1/2 cup lavender
flowers
1/2 cup peppermint,
dried
1/2 cup spearmint,
dried
1/2 cup lemon grass,
dried and chopped
10 drops lemongrass
essential oil
5 drops peppermint
essential oil
5 drops spearmint essential
oil
Directions:
Combine all the dry
ingredients in a large bowl. Add the essential
oil and stir to spread the oil throughout the mixture. Allow to meld for a week in a covered
container, shaking frequently. Then
measure into bags. (It can be used right away if you need to relax. The scent just improves with a bit of age.)
To USE: add ¼ cup of
mixture into a 8 muslin bags. Place a single bag under the faucet and allow to
hang there as the tub is filled. Bags
can be reused until the scent is gone if allowed to dry out between uses.
