Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 ENGLISH LAVENDER BATHYield: 28 ounces, enough for seven bathsThere are 28 different species of lavender. English lavender is especially aromatic and one of the most widely planted varieties. This recipe contains lavender to relax, as well as oatmeal and baking soda, to soothe dry, sensitive skin. This is an ideal bath for calming nerves, or soothing sunburns or insect bites. Packaged in a pretty bottle, it makes a wonderful gift from the garden. 1 cup dried English lavender flowers (other species may be used)2 cups oatmeal1/2 cup baking soda Place all the ingredients inside a food processor or blender. Grind until you have a smooth, fine powder. The powder should have the consistency of whole-grain flour. Pour into a clean, airtight container or resealable plastic bag. To use: Pour 1/2 cup into your bath as you fill the tub. By Janice Cox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
