Does anyone have any herbal bath or ritual bath recipies they would like to share that aren't out of Scott Cunningham's book?

I have a pretty nice cleansing bath I could share. I also have a sugar scrub to Aphrodite so I'll post that too.

Cleansing bath:

1tbsp Earl Grey tea (the kind that has real oil of bergamot in it)

1tsp patchouli oil

1tbsp salt

1tbsp white sage

Grind this all together with a mortar and pestle or simply mix with your hands. After a normal shower fill the tub with warm water and mix combination in. Soak in this water for ten minutes or until water is cool, using a natural sea sponge to bathe head and upper body. As you soak, focus on what makes you feel clean, safe, and protected. Hold this in your mind and then when finished drain the water from the tub and dry with a white towel.

Salt is to purify the body and psyche. Bergamot and Patchouli protect and call on the Earth. White sage cleanses and purifies. Black tea erases negative energy.

Sugar scrub:

1/3cup coarse brown sugar

1/4 cup jojoba oil

1/2tsp apple oil

1/2tsp rose oil

Combine oils and set aside. In a small container with an airtight lid pour the sugar, then combine oil with sugar until sugar forms a paste. Keeps for about a month if careful. After soap and shampoo use this scrub and repeat the following:

Mirror mirror on the wall,

who is the fairest of them all?

I clear my gaze, I seek to see

the beauty that resides in me.

Make it shine and make it bright

like a beacon in the night

clear for me and all to see

the love and beauty that is me.

Mirror Mirror on the wall,

who is the fairest of them all?

Clear for me and all to see

eternal beauty lives in me

this is my will, so it will be.

Rinse and dry in a pink, red, or white towel. Sugar is for sweetness and to attract love. Rose oil is for true love. Apple oil is to gain Aphrodite's favor. Jojoba

oil is a base oil

I'm fond of just throwing things together as needed.  I just kind of.  Go with my gut.  So no recipes, sorry.

I usually go with my gut and then write down what I use, especially when I know whatever I did worked. I have made one herbal bath so far.

It is a relaxation bath. I did in  parts just in case I decide to make one big batch and just use as I go.

2 pts jasmine

1 1/2 pts catnip

3 pts lavender

3 pts chamomlie (had to use chamomile out of the tea bags because I didn't have anything else. I may have to change the measurements later)

I crushed it lightly in my mortar and pestle and then tied it up in a coffee filter, filled the bathtub partway with really hot water then let it  steep in the water for 10 or 15 minutes then filled the tub the rest of they way. I fell asleep in the tub!

I like to mix herbs and oils according to what I feel is best at the time. However, there are a few I commonly use:

An all oil bath would often include camphor, hyssop and rosemary for cleansing. I like to use dragon's blood oil as well - it's great for uncrossing/protection and giving courage, strength, and luck in love or money. It's also my favorite scent.

Frankincense and myrhh are also great cleansing and blessing oils.

My herb bath for cleansing is usually a mixture of lavender, rosemary, hyssop or angelica, and vetivert (van van).  Yarrow can be added for courage and luck as well. Rose petals are excellent for love and beauty (same with rose oil, though pure rose oil can be quite expensive).

You can steep the herbs directly in the bath with a reusable tea bag or a tied up coffee filter (as already mentioned), or they can be boiled, strained and steeped beforehand.

Herbal Brew Bath: (inspired by Stephanie Bird's "Sticks, Stones, Roots & Bones")

Boil a couple cups of water. Add the dried herbs (usually about a 1/4 cup total). Let it return to a boil, cover, and remove from heat (much like cooking rice!). Let sit for about 30 minutes.  Then separate the herbs from the water by straining it.

Some people choose to add about a cup of milk and either honey or olive oil to the herbal water after this. You would also add any oils at this time (about 1/4 teaspoon of each oil).

Salt Bath/Scrub:

The simpler method is to add a mixture of 1 part sea salt and 2 parts epsom salt to the herb/oil bath. The salts draw out impurities and soothe muscle aches. You can also add the herbs/oils directly to the salt mix and store it for later use. This kind of mixture can also be used as a scrub for in the shower, which is extremely useful when you don't have time for a bath or if you're using a shower stall.

I tried CircleLady's Cleansing bath yesterday and found it really refreshing!

Unfortunatly I'm still waiting for my herb pouch's so I steeped it in some boiling water before putting into my bath water! it looked messy but felt great! I sort of drifted for half an hour before being rudely intruppted by the alarm on my phone as it was time to ge ready for work!.

The best thing was it just all washed down the drain with little effort!.

Thanks so much for the recipe im also waiting on my herbs to arrive so I thought I would try making my own see wat I come up with! so u could be hearing from me again in the next few weeks! :)

@EarthSong Haha, I usually don't bother with bags, I just let it steep like a loose-leaf tea. I know you shouldn't do this but I'm kinda lazy. DX
