Lemon bath: Thinly slice a lemon and cover it with warm water. Let it stand for two to three hours. Add the water and lemon slices to the bathwater. This bath is said to induce relaxation, reduce stress, and soothe frazzled nerves. You can also try making this soak with an orange or lime, or even as a citrus-trio mix!
Conifer bath: Take about one-half pound of pine needles, cones, and bark chips. Boil (covered) in about one gallon of water for 10 minutes. Let it sit for four hours. Filter out the greens and bark, and then add the conifer-infused water to a bath. Soak in it for 15 to 20 minutes to reduce stress and soothe your nerves!
Skin Softening Bath: Combine 1/2 cup of honey, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of sea salt, 1/8 cup of baking soda and stir well. Draw a bath and add the mixture to the water. Add 1/2 cup of baby oil to the bathwater and mix again. This bath encourages soft, smooth skin!
