The Bath, revisited!

Basic Milk Bath (Tipnet.com)
1.5 cup powered milk
1.5 cup epsom salts
1/8 cup baking soda
2 TBS cornstarch
Put all the ingredients in a muslin bag

The bath brings relief from the hectic-ness of the day... but you already knew that, didn't you? To lay back in the tub and let the water immerse and caress your tired body.....AHHHHHHHHH. Let's put a homemade addition into the mix. Add a bath tea bag- make it yourself! It's very economical when you buy the ingredients and supplies, in bulk, from one of the many online craft stores.

The above recipe is a basic one. Go ahead and add herbs and your special fragrance. Drop the bag in the tub under running water. The powered milk is a softening agent and you'll feel the difference in your skin immediately- a relaxing event in and of itself!

Yes, the bath has always been a welcomed relief and the addition of your homemade concoction heightens this lovely experience!
