INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons dried rose petals
- 2 tablespoons dried calendula
- 1 tablespoons dried lavender
- 1 -2 tablespoon chamomile
- 1 tablespoon dried eucalyptus or peppermint
- 1 reusable cotton tea bag
- Optional:
- Oatmeal, milk powder, Epsom salts or pink salts

- A few drops of essential oils
HOW TO
- Prepare the Herbal Blend:
- In a small bowl, combine the dried ingredients and any optional extras
- Fill the Tea Bag:
- Carefully scoop your herbal blend into a reusable cotton tea bag. You can adjust the amount based on your preference for a stronger or lighter soak.
- Tie and Seal:
- Tie the bag closed making sure it’s secure but not too tight, so the herbs can infuse into the water.
- Add to Your Bath:
- Place the tea bag directly into your running bathwater, allowing it to steep like a tea. The herbs will release their soothing properties as the water fills the tub.
- Relax and Enjoy:
- Soak for 20-30 minutes, allowing the soothing aromas and healing properties of the herbs to work their magic. Breathe deeply, unwind, and let the calming effects take over.
TIPS:
• Feel free to adjust the herbs based on your preferences. If you enjoy a refreshing, minty aroma, add more peppermint; for floral sweetness, increase the rose petals or lavender.
• You can also make a larger batch of the herbal blend to have on hand for future baths.
GIFT IDEA: Create personalized tub soaks by making different blends. Package each soak in a reusable cotton tea bag with a pretty label listing the ingredients. It’s a thoughtful, eco-friendly gift that promotes relaxation and self-care.
NOTES
