AN ANISE BATH



This is a bath for sharing! Anise is an herbal aroma that is enjoyed by men and 
women both! So why not share!! Licorice root can be used instead of anise seeds. 
I also recommend using anise hyssop in addition to this recipe I've acquired: 

A quarter cup each of: jasmine tea, anise seeds, rose petals, and mint leaves. 
Place this into bath sachets and steep into 2 cups of boiling water for 10-15 
minutes. Then add to your hot water bath! Place a few candles around tub, and 
fill a couple of champagne glasses with a favorite wine or juice! And enjoy!



A TWILIGHT BATH

Ahhhhh.....what I am needing after a week like the one I just experienced! I am 
going to do this after setting up this September web-letter! It is nice outside, 
so I will open my bathroom window, light a few candles around my deep tub, pull 
the white lace shower curtain closed, pour a chilled glass of wine, throw some 
rose petals and a sachet of herbs (listed below) into the tub, slide in, and 
enjoy!.

Sachet for this "blessed" bath is made by combining 1 oz. of rose petals, 1/2 
oz. dried mint, and a pinch of crushed cloves together in a bath sachet bag. Let 
this steep under the hot water that's pouring into your tub, and then let soak 
in bathwater. Have a favorite towel ready for when you get out! Enjoy!



HERBAL BATH BALLS

Well, you are trying to use up all those "left over" herbs so you can replenish 
your stock this coming summer. So use them up in a soothing warm bath. Take 1 
cup each of dried mint, rosemary, lavender flowers, rose petals, comfrey leaves, 
and lovage and mix well. Cut 4-5" squares of cotton fabric, and place 1 1/2 
teaspoons of mix into each square. Pull four corners together and tie with 
ribbon or yarn. Use one herbal bath ball per bath. (Two if you would prefer!) 
Add a couple of candles and a cup of your favorite tea for one relaxing evening!
