The bath apothecary
A proper herbal bath is a whole-body cup of tea, and it costs about a dollar a time. Salts for the base, herbs in a muslin bag, twenty minutes with the phone elsewhere.
The salts
- Epsom salt — two cups, the base
- Sea salt — a handful
- Baking soda — half a cup, softens
The herbs
- Lavender — in a muslin bag
- Chamomile — the whole-body cup
- Rosemary — for heavy legs
The setup
- A muslin bag — herbs, never loose
- Twenty minutes — phone elsewhere
- Water after — always
Keep this one — and get early access.
