Borealis Detoxifying Herbal Tea Bath - Respiratory Health - Organic & Medicinal - 1oz.
Tea Baths are one of the oldest ways to rest and relax. In a hot bath our pores open wide and our skin quickly absorbs the nutrients and medicinal properties of the various natural herbs used in the tea bath. Bathing in herbs is also a great way to get herbal medicine into small children or people having difficulty taking herbal medicines by mouth. The skin is the largest assimilation organ and soaks up organic nutrition quickly, especially when we are relaxed and warm.
Drink plenty of pure water while in the tub to assist with detoxification. We usually try to stay in an herb bath for 30 minutes to 2 hours for optimum effects.
You will get: 2 tea baths worth of our herbal blend of tea.
Our tea baths work well with our detoxifying bath soaks.
How we use the tea baths:
We first boil the herbs in water on the stove and let steep for 3-5 minutes, strain the herbs out and put the tea into the tub water.
