Product Overview

An herbal bath and facial steam formulated with aromatic herbs and a touch of aromatic essential oils to help relieve congestion. Steam inhalation is a great old fashioned remedy for colds, coughs and congestion. Warm, moist air helps opens up congested sinuses and lung passageways and loosen mucus allowing you to breathe a bit easier

Although herbal steam cannot cure a cold or flu, when inhaled, the decongestant and antiseptic herbal aromatics go where they are needed, into congested and irritated sinus passages, throat and lungs.

Eucalyptus is one of the most familiar decongesting herbs and is found in many over the counter (OTC) products for congestion. It helps to loosen and expel mucus, making it especially helpful for chest congestion
Thyme contains potent plant aromatics like thymol and has long been used to ease coughing, clear congestion, and help respiratory issues.
Peppermint is rich in natural menthol, a volatile oil that can help to open up your airways. It has a cooling effect that is also helpful for relieving headaches often associated with nasal stuffiness.
Rosemary is high in rosmarinic acid, a compound that has anti-inflammatory properties and may particularly help with sinus congestion and inflammation.
Sage has many properties that make it one of the top herbs for congestion. Like rosemary, it contains rosmarinic acid that has an anti-inflammatory effect on inflamed tissues.
The crisp, cooling, energizing, and penetrating essential oil blend that helps awaken your mind and body when you are feeling exhausted and fatigued, is also great to help relieve stuffiness from summer allergies and dry winter air.

Can be used as a Bath Tea or for more intense inhalation as a Facial Steam! (see the "How To Use" section below)

1 package (1 bag) contains about 1 1/2 cups of tea, enough 6 to 8 facial steams OR 3 to 6 herbal bath

Reusable cotton muslin bag included!

How To Use

Directions for a Simple Herbal Bath

Fill the muslin bag with 1/4 to 1/2 cup of herbs (tightly close the top!)

Every bathtub is different -- Start out with the smaller amount and see how it feels
The idea is NOT to fill up the bag with bathing herbs. The larger bag allows water to flow more freely around the herbs!
It is not true that if a small amount works well, then a large amount will work even better!

Add the herbal tea bag to your tub

Hang the bag from the faucet and allow warm water (the temperature that is comfortable for you!) to run through the bag while the tub fills. When the tub is full, remove the pouch from the spout and let it float in the tub, continuing to steep in the bathwater.
OR place the bag in the bath under warm running water (the temperature that is comfortable for you!)until the tub fills and then let it float in the tub, continuing to steep in the bathwater

Squeeze bag to release the botanical essence. Relax and soak for 15 to 20 minutes.

After your bath empty and rinse the reusable muslin bag and allow it to dry.

An herbal bath is a time to relax the body not cleanse it -- no soap or bubble bath! If you need to wash take a shower before. To get the full benefit from an herbal soak, simply towel dry when you leave the tub.

The herbal bag may be used as a compress on your temples, neck, or other pulse points. Use as an “herbal washcloth,” with or without soap. When finished empty and rinse the bag and allow it to dry.

No time for a bath or No bathtub? Our bathing herbs (also known as bath or tub teas) are very versatile!

Use the herbal bag as a warm or cool compress on your temples, neck or other pulse points
Use a small amount to make a soothing foot bath!
Use the herbal bag in the shower as an “herbal washcloth.”
After using in your tub place the whole bag in the dryer to add a fresh scent (works great with towels and linens).

Directions for Facial Steam:

Place 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup of herbs into the muslin bag
Place bag in a pot or heatproof bowl about 3-quart size
Pour 2 quarts of boiling water over herbs
Cover and steep 10 minutes
Wait a few minutes to allow the water to cool slightly--be sure steam is not too hot!!
Place bowl on a heatproof surface where you can comfortably sit
Holding your head 12 inches from the bowl, drape a large towel over head and bowl to capture steaming herbal water
Allow the steam to bathe your skin a minute or two and then raise your head a bit and take a few breaths of fresh air
Repeat the process for a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes
If at any time it gets too hot under the towel--lift a corner to let in a little cool air
As the herbs steep, the rising steam will open your pores and carry the aromatic herbal oils your skin
Splash face with cool water, to close your pores, and pat dry
Rinse the reusable muslin bag and allow it to dry

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Por qué utilizar un té de baño orgánico?

Ya sea que los llames "tés de baño", "hierbas de baño" o "tés de bañera", sumergirse en un baño de hierbas tibio y fragante proporciona un santuario tranquilo en el que retirarse, reflexionar y refrescarse.

Las propiedades curativas atrapadas en las hierbas y liberadas por el agua pueden ayudar a mejorar el estado de ánimo, calmar la mente, aliviar los músculos y las articulaciones doloridas, abrir los poros, suavizar la piel y promover un sueño más reparador.

A medida que las propiedades beneficiosas de las hierbas se liberan en el agua, un aroma agradable llena el aire que proporciona terapia del alma, terapia de la piel y aromaterapia, todo en uno.

Así que, date un baño caliente con hierbas aromáticas o terapéuticas, enciende unas velas naturales, pon música relajante y relájate. Puede que sea la medicina perfecta para cualquier problema que tengas.

Descubre tu espíritu creativo

Las infusiones de hierbas para baños son perfectas por sí solas, pero siempre que prepares un baño de hierbas puedes combinar las hierbas de baño con otros excelentes aditivos para el cuidado de la piel, la mayoría de los cuales puedes encontrar en los armarios de tu cocina.

Algunas notas importantes:

A pesar de sus numerosas ventajas, un baño caliente puede no ser recomendable para todo el mundo.

No utilice agua muy caliente
No remojar durante más de 15-20 minutos cada vez.
Si tiene una afección cardíaca o cualquier condición médica, consulte con su médico antes de comenzar una nueva rutina de baño.
Si está embarazada, hable sobre los baños con su médico o partera.
Mantén cerca un poco de agua potable fresca
Incluso una persona sana puede empezar a sentirse mareada o indispuesta al bañarse. Si esto ocurre, salga lentamente, descanse y beba agua, ya que podría estar deshidratado. Si no mejora pronto, consulte a un médico.

¿Todos pueden utilizar un vapor facial a base de hierbas?

Aunque muchas personas se benefician de los vapores faciales a base de hierbas naturales, no son apropiados para todos.

Los tratamientos faciales con vapor no deben utilizarse en personas con acné quístico o rosácea, ya que el calor y la sudoración a menudo pueden irritar el eczema.

Para las personas que tienen piel extremadamente sensible o dañada o que son propensas a desarrollar pequeñas venas o capilares rotos, los vapores de hierbas pueden ser irritantes y deben evitarse a menos que lo sugiera un profesional de la salud.

Las personas con problemas de salud como asma o problemas cardíacos deben consultar a su médico antes de realizar vapores faciales. Si tiene piel sensible o propensa a alergias, siempre debe realizar una prueba cutánea antes de usar cualquier producto herbal nuevo.

Así como no debes permanecer mucho tiempo en un baño de vapor, tampoco debes aplicarte vapor facial por mucho tiempo ni con demasiada frecuencia. ¡Presta atención a tu piel y a tu cuerpo! Una advertencia: si sientes mareos o aturdimiento durante el vapor, detente de inmediato.
