Herbal Bath Soak - Muscle Relief
1 Cup Chamomile leaves
12 Crushed Bay Leaves
1/4 Cup Rose Petals
1/4 Cup Sage
1/4 Cup Rosemary
1/4 Cup Oregano
This wonderful herbal soak is ideal for repairing tired and aching muscles.
Place all the herbs into the bath tub and swill around the water. Alternatively you can wrap the herbs in a square of muslin fabric tied with some cord. Then drop the herb filled bundle directly into the water.
Soak in the bath for around 15 mins.
This mix also makes a wonderful gift, wrapped up in a decorative jar or basket.
Makes enough mix for 2-3 strong baths or use it in smaller does for more sensitive noses.

Sounds great after a few laps :)
WOW! I could use this, except I don't have a tub..
how long would you say this lasts?
This is a great idea. You could also use a coffee filter and tie it off with a ribbon or small piece of string.
Nice recipe-- also try using an old stocking with a tie on top to hold all of the herbs in place like a huge teabag of sorts and ..these could also be given out as presents if instead you use fancy ribbon and netting ...
