Aromatherapy Herbal Bath Recipe

Green tea and rose fight the signs of aging

Plus, this yummy herbal bath tea's sweet, floral scent brings you back to a healthy place of quiet peace. Good for you inside and out!

Ingredients

1/2 cup Lavender flowers

1/4 cup Green Tea leaves (try a rose-flavored tea)

3 drops Rose or Palmarosa essential oil

3 drops Lavender essential oil

1 drop Rosewood essential oil

Method

Drop in the essential oils, placing each drop in its own little spot on top of the mixture. Use a stainless steel spoon to gently stir everything together.

Cap the jar and let it sit for at least 24 hours before using to let the aroma 'cure' (longer is better.)

To Use your Aromatherapy Herbal Rose Blend

If you don't have a bag, put a few spoonfuls into the center of a square of double thickness cheesecloth, pull the edges together and tie it closed with a string.

To get the most benefit from your herbal aromatherapy bath, boil a kettle of water, then steep the bag in a bowl of very hot water for 10 minutes or so. (Yes, you're making herbal tea for your bath!)

Pour the 'tea' into your bathwater BEFORE YOU GET IN then check the temperature to make sure the bath water is not too hot. Drop the herbal bag in the water, slide in and relax for 20 minutes.

For a truly luxurious bath, add a tablespoon of your favorite rose or lavender bath oil to extra-moisturize your skin.

Dry off without rinsing, and lock in moisture with a good body lotion, such as this Lavender Lotion recipe.

A healing blend of lemongrass, lavender with a hint of cloves lifts your mood, soothes your nerves and relaxes your muscles. Good for oily, acne-prone skin.
