Yarrow Bath Salts

by Rosemary Loveall

Yarrow makes a relaxing bath.  Fill a muslin tea bag with fresh flower heads and some leaves and toss in your tub as it fills or wrap inside a cotton wash cloth and use as a “scrub” sack in the shower.  Combined with popular bath minerals it makes for a soothing soak that will also boost your circulation. 

  • 1 Tablespoon fresh yarrow leaves and flowers 
  • 1 /2 cup epsom salts 
  • 1 /2 cup baking soda 
  • 1 /4 cup sea salt 
  • Yield: 10 ounces  

Mix together all ingredients and spoon into a cotton sack or onto a cotton wash cloth and secure with a rubber band.  To use: Toss in a warm tub.  Soak for 20 minutes.
