How to Make Bath Tub Tea

Even if you're not an expert, you can combine simple herbs to create a safe tub tea that will help you relax without chemicals or toxins. While commercial tub teas are readily available, a homemade blend will be less expensive and is easy to make. Most importantly, since you know exactly what has gone into your blend, you're assured a truly natural and nontoxic bath product, free of fillers and artificial fragrances that might irritate skin.

Instructions

Mix Your Tea

• 1

  Spoon a few teaspoons of each herb into a bowl and mix. Since you'll be running this under water, use whole hibiscus flowers instead of powder.

• 2

  Gently stuff the muslin bag and draw the string shut tightly.

• 3

  If using paper tea bags, stuff and then carefully iron them shut with a dry iron.

• 4

  When drawing bath water, run the tea bag under the faucet to begin releasing the herbs' gentle properties.

• 5

  Get double duty from your tub tea by using the tea bag as an herbal washcloth. This will help to release the natural relaxant in lavender and the anxiety-reducing properties of chamomile.
