Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Aromatherapy Bath Bags Mix equal amounts of lavender flowers, peppermint leaves, sage, rosemary and thyme. (I buy bulk herbs from the health food store, but you can also get them by mail-order.) Add a couple of drops essential oil (lavender is nice) to give it a little extra punch! Make small muslin bags (2" wide by 4" long). Put a large spoonful of oatmeal in bottom of each bag, then two spoonfuls of herbs. Tie bag closed with string. Knot the ends of the strings so that you can hang it over the faucet as you draw the bath water. You can use the bathbag as a washcloth - the oatmeal softens the skin. (These are only good for one bath - throw away after using.) Sachet bags Using the same herbal mixture above, without the oatmeal, stuff small pillows made from print fabric. Sew edges shut. Attach two sachets together with a length of ribbon. Nice to hang over a hanger, or insert in a pair of shoes. Seal into a ziploc before wrapping to preserve the scent.
