Relaxing Bath Blend
When traveling, the following bath blend is the perfect way to relax. The herbs can be mixed and tied inside a muslin cloth and hung onto the nozzle of the bathtub or under the shower head.
2 parts chamomile
2 parts lavender
2 parts roses
1 part comfrey leaf
Once muslin container is hung on bathtub nozzle, run hot water through the bag and into the tub. This makes a strong herbal infusion. Before entering the tub, add enough cold water to bring the water to a comfortable temperature.
