How to Make Herbal Bath Tea Bags

The first mention I could find of using herbs for bathing goes back to Saint Hildegarde of Bingen (1098 to 1178). She was a German writer and Benedictine nun who, among other things, wrote books about botany. She also wrote about specific herbs to use in the sauna and to apply to the body during bathing. So herbal baths have a very long history.

A warm or hot herbal bath is a wonderful way to relax and de-stress, especially before bedtime. One of the joys of an herbal bath is feeling the warmth of the water, breathing in the scent of the herbs, and unwinding.

In this article, Kami explains the different materials and bags you can use for the herbs. She also provides a source that sells small and large cotton muslin bags with drawstrings at very reasonable prices. She also includes some other helpful tips.

Kami then shares her recipe for a Rose and Chamomile Bath Tea Bag. She explains how to add the herbs to the bag and position the bag, so that your bath water distributes the herbs throughout the tub.
