Comfort from the Cold Bath - Bath Blend of the Month

 Each month we showcase a bath blend to make at home.  This month I thought something to soothe cold symptoms might be in order. I originally shared this for Advent 2020 on Facebook and thought it would be a good reshare.

The lavender will have antiseptic as well as soothing properties, the rosemary and ginger are warming and germ fighting and the eucalyptus has antioxidant properties as well containing ceramides which are great for dry skin.



Comfort from the Cold Bath

2 tablespoons dried lavender flowers and leaves

2 tablespoons dried rosemary leaves

1 tablespoon dried gingerroot powder

2 tablespoons dried eucalyptus leaves

Mix together dried herbs. Place them inside a square of natural fabric or a metal tea ball. Secure your bundle by tying the ends with a bit of sting.

To use : Hang the herb bag under your water tap. Fill the tub with warm (not too hot) water, letting the water flow through the herbs. Get in the bath, squeeze out your herb bag and place it behind your neck as you bathe. You also may use it to scrub your body with a bit of soap.
