Herbal teas have distinct aromas and calming properties.An herbal tea can be used to soothe, relax, or make you feel better.Try soaking in it instead of drinking herbal tea.Throw in a tea bag full of dried herbs after bathing.Take the tub and soak while the tea steeps.Enjoy a relaxing bathtime experience by breathing deeply.
Step 1: One lemon and one orange should be removed.
To remove the peel from lemons and oranges, rinse the fruit and use a vegetable peeler.You can peel the fruit with your bare hands or use a small knife.The peel will be used for the bath tea, so don't throw it away.Purchase organic fruit if you don't want your fruit treated with pesticides.You don't need the fruit for the bath teas.
Step 2: The peels should be placed in a bag with comfrey, alfalfa, and parsley.
Put the orange and lemon peel into the tea bag.Then, add a small amount of dried comfrey, dried alfalfa leaves, and dried parsley.Comfrey can help with pain, inflammation, muscle strain, and arthritis, as well as lifting your mood.Parsley can calm an upset stomach.
Step 3: The bag needs to be tied to the bathtub faucet.
Pull the bag away from the sides and use the strings to close it.The tea bag should hang below the tub's faucet.The tea bag can be thrown directly into the tub.
Step 4: Run a bath together.
If you want to fill the tub higher than you would like, turn on the water so it's your preferred temperature.The tea bag needs to be untied after the faucet is turned off.Drop it into the tub and enjoy!The tea will begin to mold after 2 days if the tea bag is not discarded.
Step 5: A tea bag filled with equal parts of dried lavender, chamomile, and peppermint.
If you want to get out a tea bag, you have to use a disposable tea filter.Put the dried lavender flowers, dried chamomile flowers and dried peppermint leaves into the bag or filter.They are known for their relaxing and soothing qualities.
Step 6: The bag or filter must be closed.
If you're using a tea bag, tie it up tightly.Wrap a piece of twine or a rubber band around the open end of the filter to keep the tea from falling out.Put the tea into a clean sock if you can't find any filters.The tea should stay in the bottom of the sock if the end is closed.
Step 7: Attach the bag to the tub's faucet.
Tie the tea bag to the bathtub faucet using the bag's drawstrings or twine.The tea bag holds the water from the faucet.
Step 8: Put the water in the bath.
The water should be as hot as you like when you turn it on.The tub should fill up with your sleepy time tea if you keep running the water.If you need to adjust the temperature, check the water as you fill the bath.
Step 9: Before you soak, remove the tea bag and toss it in the tub.
The bag should be untied and squeezed gently.The tea will fall into the water.Get into your bath tea by dropping the bag into the tub.Remove the pouch and squeeze it to save the bath tea.If you want to use it again within 2 days, let it dry completely.The tea bag should be thrown away after 2 days.
Step 10: In a bowl, put lavender, chamomile, salt, and baking soda.
Put a small amount of lavender flowers into a mixing bowl.Add 1 cup (180 g) of baking soda, 2 cups (480 g), and a cup of Epsom salt or sea salt.Baking soda can calm skin irritation.It can act as an exfoliant to remove dead skin and relieve muscle pains.
Step 11: If you like creamy bath tea, you can add 1/2 cup of powdered milk.
Milk baths have been used for hundreds of years to relieve itchy skin and moisturize it.If you want to try a creamy herbal bath tea, put the powdered milk into the bowl with the herbs, baking soda, and salt.You can leave it out if you don't want to try a creamy bath.
Step 12: If you'd like a strong scent, you should include 15 to 20 drops of essential oil.
Pick your favorite scent or look for essential oils that can help with your skin type.Adding tea tree oil to your bath tea is an example of how to use essential oils if you enjoy floral scents.Research shows that essential oil can soothe your skin.Diluted essential oils in the bath are a good way to use them because they are not safe to apply directly to your skin.
Step 13: Divide the tea between the 5 bags.
Combine the herbal bath tea ingredients with a spoon or your hands.After the mixture is uniform, get out 5 tea bags.Divide the tea between the bags using a spoon or small scoop.If you don't have a muslin bag, fill large disposable tea filters with tea and tie them closed with twine.
Step 14: Run a bath and drop a bag in the water to steep.
You can put a tea bag in the water by filling your tub with hot water.The bag should be left in the bath.If you want to relax, try to soak for at least 20 to 30 minutes.The powdered milk, salt, and essential oils can be dissolved in the bath with a new bag of herbal bath tea.
