Workout Recovery Bath Bag Blend - Bath Blend of the Month

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
