Bath Herbs

There is a long tradition in herbal medicine of different types of herb baths. Foot baths, hand baths, eye baths, sitz or hip baths and full body baths are all suitable.
The sitz bath is ideal for herbal treatments to the pelvic region. Very suitable for post natal healing baths.
For very frail people hand baths can be a comforting way to get herbs into their systems. A lavender and chamomile hand bath for example to aid relaxation. Many herbs are well absorbed in this way.
I like to combine epsom or dead sea salts with a big handful of herbs in a diffuser. I run the bath with hot water only and add the herbs to infuse for a good 10 to 20 minutes before I get in.
