“Steeping your body in a bathtub full of medicinal leaves and flowers is more than pampering; it is preventive medicine”  ~Herbalist Kami McBride

Adding herbs to a bath for health and healing is a very old tradition. Seaweed, too, has a long history of being used in the bath as its natural anti-inflammatory properties can ease muscle and joint pains.

Seaweed's minerals and trace minerals are absorbed by skin while bathing. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc help relax your mind and body while seaweed's hydrocolloid properties soften skin.

Feeling a bit stressed and under the weather, I made a bath tea with half Kelp and half Lavender. I put it in a big stainless tea ball, put that in the tub while it filled, and left it in while I took a long soak, trying to lift my bad-day-dark-mood.

It worked! I felt tons better, so relaxed, and my skin felt silky-soft. Even cured my hangover ;)
