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.
