Summer Mineral Bath

Best taken on a summer night with the windows open: 2 cups (480 ml) Milk or Buttermilk; 1 cup (240 ml) Honey; 1 cup (270 g) Pink Himalayan Sea Salt; a handful or two of fresh or dried food grade Rose Petals and Buds; and a handful of fresh or dried food grade Chamomile Flowers.

Pour the Milk, Honey, and Salt into warm running bathwater. Swirl the water around to mix everything well. When the tub is full, sprinkle in the Roses and Chamomile flowers. Sink in, exhale, and soak for 15 to 30 minutes. This bath will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and invite peace and relaxation.

Summer Solar Bath

4 to 5 ginger tea bags (or 5 black tea bags and 5 ginger slices), 1 cup of honey, 1 cup Epsom Salts, 1 thinly sliced Orange, 1 thinly sliced Lemon, and some Sandalwood incense and / or candles for ambiance.

Light the candles and incense to give them time to infuse the room before the bath. Add the Honey, Tea, and Ginger to the bath as you are running it, making sure it is mixed in well. Just before you step in, spoon in the epsom salts and scatter the Orange and Lemon slices on the surface.
