Relaxing Baths. Tips for a relaxing bath - Continued

In pouring and creating your own herbal bath, another method of steeping your bath is to put a large pan of water on the stove. This pan should hold three to five gallons of water, a pan similar to what you might use to cook corn or lobster. In boiling your water, you will add the tea bags, or the tea materials that you want to use in your bath and boil in the water for ten minutes for a strong tea mixture. Pour this directly into your hot bath, slip in the tub and sip on your favorite mixture of herbal teas while you soak for a great relaxing pampering feeling.

Choosing what type of herbal teas or mixtures of herbal teas are going to fit your mind and body best is basically going to be dependant on your tastes. While one might like peppermint, another likes vanilla or cinnamon. No matter what type of cookie, cream or chocolate mixture you have a taste for, you are sure to find a mixture in herbal teas that are sure to treat your taste buds and your scents. 

If you are new to the world of herbal and scented teas, you will find that many that include a red stripe will include the use of cinnamon or a spicy type mixture that will remind you of red hot candies. Many teas and mixtures that include a yellow stripe will include the use of a soothing herb known as chamomile. 

One thing to keep in mind is if you were to put your herbs in the tub of water without being in a mesh or in a towel then they can float down and clog your drains when you let the water out of the tub so be sure to keep your herbs in some type of containment.
