Soothe your troubles with this lovely homemade tea bath. This stain-free bath salt helps soothe skin and relieve muscle stiffness while providing aromatherapy benefits. Make a bunch of tea bath bags for yourself and some for your friends.
One of my favorite bath projects is a tea bath. There’s nothing like a warm bath to soothe all your body ailments. Soaking in an herbal bath is a luxury. It softens the skin, relieves sore muscles, and adds fragrance to the steam. Herbs can be helpful in baths, but they can leave behind residue that needs to be cleaned up after the water subsides.
What is the solution? Bath tea! Fill paper tea filters with herbs, salts, and other bathtime delights for a spotless bath.

Why I love baths and why you should too
If you’re someone who hates “breathtaking” baths, this might be the project that makes you want to take a bath again.
Baths are very good for your health, so I try to take a soak at least once a week. But in winter, I take a bath almost every day.
Baths actually increase blood circulation. The pressure of the water on your body causes your heart to beat a little faster. Think of it as a small workout that you can do while lying down and relaxing.
You will also notice a difference in your breathing. The steam from the bath helps cleanse the sinuses and reduce mucus. Increased circulation also means more oxygen, which makes your lungs work a little harder.
Baths reduce pain and inflammation, so they’re great for relieving tired and sore muscles. This is one of the main reasons to enjoy a bath after a long day. You’ll immediately feel your muscles relax and your body say, “Thank you!”
Studies also show that bathing can help you fall asleep. Warm water helps regulate your body temperature and sends a signal to your body that it’s ready for bed.
Personally, I also use this time to decompress from the day. When I don’t have any tasks to complete or screens around me, my mind stops trying to focus and I don’t feel stressed throughout the night. The sooner you can get rid of the monologue in your head before bed, the better.
Benefits of Basti
First of all, to have a proper bathing experience, you need to create a great atmosphere. If you find bathing boring, focus your energy here. Add some aromatherapy by lighting a candle, playing some calming music, and bringing something special into your bath. That is bathtub tea.
Bathtub tea is very convenient because you don’t have to worry about cleaning up after taking a bath. Bubble baths, bath bombs, and even herbal bath salts often leave a residue that must be cleaned after bathing. Cleaning is usually the last thing you want to do because you’ve been relaxing all your life.
With Ofurocha, just enjoy your bath, drain the water, and remove the bag. Voila!
Depending on the ingredients, natural herbal benefits can also be added. For example, Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) can help relieve muscle aches and pains. Colloidal oatmeal helps soothe irritated and irritated skin. Many essential oils have unique healing properties and provide aromatherapy.
How to make a tea bath
Filling paper tea filters with soothing ingredients like herbs, salt, spices, and essential oils is a great way to treat yourself. It’s easy to make and store, so you can always have it on hand when you want to take a heavenly bath. Bus tea bags with cute tags also make great gifts.
I love using what I grow in my herb garden in natural beauty products. Mint, lavender, and flower petals make wonderful additions to homemade tab tea.
However, you don’t need to have a garden to make a tea bath. Many ingredients can be purchased at the grocery store or online. Bath teas are completely customizable, so feel free to add your favorite scents and herbs that you think will benefit you.

First, you’ll need a large paper tea filter. I like to use paper tea filters. Because when you’re done with your bath, you can throw everything into the compost bin. You can also use muslin bags that can be emptied and reused.
Below are some of the many materials you can use to fill your bath tea bags.
Please make it!
Mix all ingredients together and place a heaped spoonful into each tea bag.
Fold the top of the tea bag 4-5 times to seal it and staple it.
To give Bas Tea as a gift, package the tea bags in a mason jar or cute vase and include the following instructions.
Bathtub tea can help! Add one tea bag to your warm bath. Soak in a tea bath for 20 minutes to soothe sore muscles and detoxify.
Frequently asked questions about tea baths
Bas tea bags are made using paper tea filters. It’s very easy to find and may even be available at your grocery store. Otherwise, there are plenty of options at specialty tea stores and on Amazon. Look for one that is large enough to fit enough ingredients into the tea bath.
I’m sure you can! Most herbal teas are made using herbs and are also enjoyed topically. When making tea for your bath, look at the ingredients and study their properties to see if they have benefits such as added antioxidants, reduced inflammation, or antibacterial properties.
There are also differences in the quality of tea. Make sure you are only soaking in organic materials (you don’t want to add pesticides or other chemicals to your skin!). Loose leaf tea tends to be more effective than prepackaged tea bags.
Essential oils are the best way to make your tea bath smell good. Usually I add some Epsom salts to make up the bulk of the bath tea along with other ingredients. I prepare the Epsom salt by putting it in a bowl and adding a few drops of essential oil. Shake and stir well to evenly coat the mixture. Usually, 10-15 drops of essential oil is sufficient at one time, but you can increase or decrease according to your preference.
Bath Tea enhances your bath experience. Enjoy the beneficial properties of natural ingredients with ingredients like Epsom salt, rose petals, powdered goat milk, lavender buds, and essential oils. While soaking, the aromatherapy itself gives off a wonderful aroma.
The bath itself has the effect of increasing blood circulation, lowering blood pressure, raising body temperature, reducing stress, and promoting a better night’s sleep. Is there anyone who doesn’t like taking a bath?
Paper bath tea bags are for one-time use only. If you want something reusable, use a bag made of thin fabric such as muslin. Empty the contents after each bath and wait until the bag is completely dry before adding tea bath ingredients.
We hope you enjoy the stain-free aromatherapy of your bath and bathtub tea. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section below. I will do my best to answer your questions.
