DIY: How to create herbal bath sachets
What's the story
Making your own herbal bath sachets can be an easy and affordable way to bring relaxation home. These sachets, brimming with natural elements, can turn an average bath into a rejuvenating affair. They are simple to prepare and personalize as per liking. Here are five beginner-level DIY herbal bath sachet recipes to help you relax and feel good.
Calming mix
Lavender and chamomile blend
Lavender and chamomile are widely known for their calming properties. To make this blend, add equal parts of dried lavender flowers and chamomile. Put the mix in a muslin bag or cheesecloth and tie it tightly. When added to warm bath water, this sachet will release a gentle aroma that will help ease stress and tension.
Soothing combo
Rose petals and oatmeal sachet
Rose petals and oatmeal make a fragrant and skin-soothing pair. Mix dried rose petals and ground oatmeal in a one to two ratio. While the oatmeal softens your skin, the rose petals give out a lovely fragrance. Tie the mixture in a cloth bag and put it in your bath for a luxurious soak.
Invigorating pair
Mint and eucalyptus refreshment
For those looking for an invigorating experience, mint and eucalyptus make for an excellent combination. Use equal parts of dried mint leaves and eucalyptus leaves in your sachet. This mixture is especially refreshing when used in morning baths, as it awakens the senses with its crisp aroma.
Gentle Touch
Calendula flowers infusion
Calendula flowers are gentle on the skin, which makes them perfect for sensitive kinds. You can fill your sachet with dried calendula flowers alone or you can mix them with other mild herbs like chamomile or lavender, if you wish. The infusion of calendula in warm water can not only help soothe irritated skin but also relax you.
Uplifting scent
Lemongrass zest boost
Lemongrass provides an uplifting citrus scent, ideal for reviving tired minds after long days at work or school activities alike. Combine dried lemongrass stalks along with lemon balm leaves inside each pouch, and secure tightly before submerging under running tap water within tubs filled halfway full already beforehand, too.
