DIY: How to make your own homemade bath blends

How to make Bath Blends

Hydrotherapyis a modern word for an ancient remedy. From olden times, people have submerged themselves in hot water to cleanse, refresh, rejuvenate, repair, and relax. Adding herbal blends to hot water enhances the natural healing and soothing qualities of a hot bath.

Mix any of the following blends as dry ingredients.

Stir well and stuff a metal tea ball or muslin bag with the blend (lace or cotton fabric will also work). As you run your bath, place the tea ball or bag in the tub, under the running water. Then, relax and enjoy!

Make a cup of herbal tea to enjoy after bathing.
