I’m a huge fan of baths for relieving muscle tension — especially when paired with Epsom salt. I also love tea baths and herbal baths for energetic cleansing. Working with plants the way our ancestors did reminds me how we are all interconnected. Using intuition, today’s tea bath included:
• Cumin — ignites inner fire, moves stagnation, strengthens resolve.
• Coriander — cools emotional heat, softens irritation, promotes clarity.
• Fennel — clears psychic residue, aids emotional digestion, brings gentle confidence.
• Mugwort — opens intuition, enhances dreamwork, dissolves heavy or stuck energy.
• Mistletoe — ancient protective ally; renews vitality, restores boundaries, calms the system.
• Rose hips — heart-opening, softening, reconnecting you to compassion and beauty.
• Chamomile — soothes the nerves, relaxes tension, encourages surrender and rest.
• Lavender — purifies the aura, harmonizes energy, resets the nervous system.
The bathtub might be the most underused healing resource in our society. If you have a bathtub and are able-bodied, this is one of the most accessible ways to calm and regulate your nervous system. The key with hot baths — especially for trauma, tension, or chronic stress — is consistency. Your body learns safety through repetition.
We came into this world through a womb, and warm water is one of the most primal signals of safety we ever receive. A hot bath recreates that memory: enclosed, held, supported, weightless. The nervous system responds because it remembers.
Adding plants — if you’re not allergic or sensitive — offers an even deeper layer of support. Always rinse with clean water after an herbal bath.
I hope one day to have a water space so I can offer this as part of my services for deeper relaxation.
It’s a Pisces mermaid dream. 🐚🌿🛁
