Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Herbal Tea is probably one of the most well-known and well-loved late night brews. This relaxing bath recipe is inspired by this classic herbal infusion of chamomile, lemongrass, spearmint, tilia, orange blossom, blackberry leaves, and rosebuds. I use a combination of dried chamomile and lemongrass as well as essential oils of spearmint, neroli, and rose.Chamomile calms your nerves while lemongrass eases tension and uplifts your mood. Neroli is one of my favorite essential oils to use in aromatherapy baths. It has a subtle scent and a wonderful soothing effect on the mind. Spearmint is great for clarifying your thoughts. Rose is another of nature's stress relievers, and the aroma is perfect for rounding out this bath with soft floral notes. To get the most out of this serenity soak, keep your
bathroom door and shower curtain closed to hold in the fragrant sleepy time scent.
For my sleepy time bath recipe, you will need:
- 1 tablespoon dried chamomile
- 1 tablespoon dried lemongrass
- 5 drops neroli essential oil
- 3 drops spearmint essential oil
- 2 drops rose essential oil
- 1 cup milk
Place the dried herbs in a muslin bag and drop into the bath tub while the water is running to infuse the herbs. Meanwhile, add the essential oils to a cup of milk. Swirl into the bath right before slipping in. Step into your tension melting sleepy time bath. Close your eyes, drink in the aroma, and relax.
