Patchouli & Flower Bath

 

Patchouli is one of my favorite scents. This herbal bath is soothing

and yummy smelling!

 

12 parts dried patchouli leaves

1 part dried chamomile flowers

3/4 part dried lavender buds

1 part dried calendula petals

 

Combine all herbs in a glass container with a lid - a big, empty,

clean mayo jar is perfect! -Gently shake to blend. Let the jar sit

for at least a week to allow the herbs to " marinate. "

 

Use 3/4 ounce (weight) of the herb mixture per bath. The herbs can be

tied up in a muslin bag or sealed into a press and brew tea bag,

either of which can be dropped into the tub while it's filling with

hot water.

 

Alternatively, put the herbs in a bowl and cover with a pint of

boiling water. Allow to steep for 20 minutes, then strain and add the

infusion to the bath. The strained herbs can be tied into a

washcloth, which can be used to gently scrub with while soaking.
