Bath Teas

 

Hydrotherapy is 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.

 

Basic Instructions for large heat sealable tea bags

and Bath Tea Usage:

 

Directions to make: Prepare a clean work surface.

Pour the loose herbs into a wide mouth bowl. Combine

thoroughly. Then, simply place the loose herbs inside

the bag and seal the opening closed with a hot iron

for about 10 seconds. Each heat seal pouch can hold

about .4 oz. of herbs.

 

Directions for use: Simply place them in a tub of hot,

running water and fill bath half way, let steep for 10

minutes, fill the bath with cooler water to the

desired temperature and enjoy your herbal bath! Can

be re-used if set out to let dry.

 

Note: As a rule of thumb when purchasing, one large

heat sealable bag holds approximately .4 ounce

botanicals and the small heat sealable bags hold about

..1. So, if you need 50 bath teas, you would purchase

about 20 ounces of botanicals (50 X .4). Or if you

have 20 ounces of botanicals on hand, you would

calculate 20 divided by .4 = 50 large bath bags

needed.
