This Bath Bag Blend was originally shared on this blog when I did the Herb of the Week featuring Hyssop. I thought it was worth sharing again as it is a go-to blend for a bath after a long day in the garden
You can use the blend after a long day of gardening or after a serious workout or a day hiking, biking or playing.
Workout Recovery Bath Bag Blend
Combine equal amounts of:
- bay leaf
- rosemary
- hyssop
- lavender
Combine the herbs in a container with a tight-fitting lid and shake to mix the ingredients. Use a part that is 1/4 to 1/2 cup in size to give you enough herbs for several batches for the bath. Measure out 1/2 cup of the blended herbs to use in your bath water.
Two ways to prepare your bath:
- Soak about 1/2 cup of herbs in water overnight. The next day, simmer for about 10 minutes and strain the liquid into the bath water.
- Place about 1/2 cup of herbs into a drawstring bag made of fairly loosely woven material (cheesecloth is ideal), or place in the center of a circle of fabric, and secure tightly. Tie the bag on the tap so that hot water flows through it.
