HERBAL BATHS
I don't now about you,but I can hardly wait to take my bath everyday .I would take a bath several times a day if I had the time.I know some old timers think that to many baths will have a bad effect on you ,but not me!
If you want to stink be my quest but I like to smell good.I think a big tub with hot water(except summer)is next to heaven.My sister Lady hawk,has a huge tub and has to be pried out of the thing,not because she is a large lady(I would not dare say if she was!),but she just loves it so much.I love an herbal bath and it is therapeutic also.Some herbs perk you up and some make you relax and sooth your muscels and help a over loaded brain !If you have a stressful job or day ,a little time in the tub will really help you.I know not everyone has a big tub or fantastic space to relax and reflect in,but even a small bathroom where you can go and lock the door can be a comforting place..Put flowers or some things you love in there and some good smelling candels ,and get some herbs for your water.Just close your eyes and pretend you are some where you want to be (or with someone),I leave that to you!If you like take a big glass of wine in a fancy glass with you (or the whole bottle if you need it).I kinda like to mix diet pepsi and Mad Dog 20/20 together ( I call it the vortex),no I am not a big drinker..I Do like it once and a while though.I always put it in a fancy glass that way I feel rich and pampered.My sister likes Captain Morgan...just one! I am not telling you to drink or do anything like that to relax..be responsible all things are best in moderation.I also love to drink Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time tea if I am going to bed .If you don't think you can find herbs easily you are wrong.There are many ways .I think one of the best ways is to get different teas already in the tea bags.Celestial Seasonings has at least 30 different kinds at my Walmart store,I just use the premade tea bags.But there are good links on the Pecan Moon Herb Home page where you can find places to order over the net.You can go to the grocery store for fresh or dried herbs and you local health food stores.Don't forget you can use ESSENTAIL OILS in the tub there are oils with wonderful smells..and if you have a stopped up head or have a cold you can use Eucalyptus oil to help open your nose.Check out the internet for essentail oils or your local health food stores.Hang your herbal tea bags (or put them in guaze or cheese cloth)under the running water...put your essentail oils gently a drop at a time on top off the water and stir gently..WARNING..never rub the essentail oils on your bare skin(dilute them first)they can burn you or have a bad reaction.  Don't let finding herbs scare you ,they are all around and the teabags I like are pretty cheep(40 for 3.00$)...so pamper yourself and have some fun...
If may spelling stinks ..sorry..if you find an herb that can help this problem let me know!!
