Bath Tea Bags

Subject: Bath Tea Bags December 30th 2008, 6:58 am

Has anyone used these or have a thought about this product.

I am thinking about making some. They are muslin or silky bags with dried flowers in them.
For example lavender buds, calendula, rose..etc
LOL- and you can make a sinus ones using eucalyptus, and other aromatic flowers.

They sound really interesting. And living down in sinus country, I would be interested in ANYTHING to alleviate sinuses!

I have always thought these sounded interesting. Particulary for aromotherapy.

Oh Flower! Sinus country is putting it mildly. I have a sinus infection just about every week. When I first moved to Texas my sister warned me that I would be getting very sick with something called "Texas Crud". A week and a half after moving to Dallas my husband and I were in bed for at least 4 days so ill I actually feared for our lives. We had ten blankets on us and we still couldn't get warm. Our sinuses felt like they were "rode hard and put up wet". lol!

So yes Nancy, it sounds very interesting. Very Happy

I've never heard of bath tea bags, but count me in on anything that might help relieve sinus pressure. I love aromatherapy products.

My favorite shower gel and shampoo, when I'm feeling bad, is Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy in the Tranquil Mint. It's a "stress relief blend" that uses peppermint essential oil to "refresh and combat mental stress" and rosemary essential oil to "improve thinking and foster creativity." Those are their high-fallutin' words. All I know is it makes me feel better.

Count me in!

Did you know that they say to be careful with Rosemary oil. It can elevate your blood pressure. I'm not sure if that is true.

Actually, I'm pretty skeptical of so-called "aroma therapy". I don't think smelling a particular scent is going to improve anything but your mood. In other words...nice smells make you feel good. However, things like eucalyptus and rosemary are used in Vick vapor rub ( or at least the chemicals in those herbs) and it does help breathing temporarily.

I'd have to do a lot more research of real scientific studies to see if it is legit or not.
HOWEVER... the smell of flowers and/or herbs makes me happy! Not for any reason except they smell good.

Certain smells make me feel good because they bring back memories, so that's another good reason for scents. Very Happy

Natural scents especially, a lot of expensive perfumes stuff up my nose, but florals are fine. Too bad I live in Canada. pale

Nancy this is completely off topic, but....

I see these tea bags and was wondering if you thought about the big tea bag events.

LMAO

Nancy do you think these could be used to keep clothes smelling fresh? I forgot the name of those little things you put in drawers. I would like to put something in with my vintage panties to keep them smelling "fresh".

Have you thought about making Shower Gels? I am now using the Black Orichard soap and I think it would make a great shower gel. I use a lot of shower gels.
Just throwing out ideas.

Yeah, but it's too expensive right now to get all the bases, bottles, labels etc. Also with soap I don't have to be as worried about the FDA and stuff. Shower gels are detergents and have to have extensive labels and testing.
I just kind of want to do natural soaps and not mess with that.

Yes, they could. I could just put the flower petals in and not use any bath salts.
