How Many Bath Remedies Do You Know ?

A good soak in the bath can do wonders for so many aliments. I love a good soak when my back gives me hell. Great for Chilblains, Swollen Ankles, Aching Feet, Sunburn, Prickly Heat, Colds, Bad Circulation, Migraines; The list could go on and on. But what to do for each one. Not just soaking in the bath, but it's what you put in it that makes the difference. Also some ideas are not just for the bath, it can just be part of helping the condition .
And please these are only what I have picked up, and what has been passed down to me. The good old remedies are sometimes the best.

Migraines:
Make up a jar of this ready to help ease those awful migraines.
Try two drops marjoram, four drops of Lavender and two drops of Rosemary oils.Make up with 60ml Jojoba oil. A good dark jar is best or just store in a dark place.

When you feel migraine coming on, as we get to know our symptoms, we know to get to it as soon as possible, so have that jar ready. Just put a small amount (don't need to much, depends on size of bath) 2 to 5ml, add to warm not to hot water. Be careful getting into any bath with oil in it, can be slippery.
Relax in bath with flannel soaked in the bath oils, put on your forehead,also if you have one a neck pillow. I can wet mine which is great as can soak that in the bath oil too and put around neck. Try to relax as much as you can, breathing in the lovely smells of lavender and rose. A eye mask made from Lavender put on your eyes while soaking can be a great help too.
Picture yourself on a beautiful island with glass like blue seas , lay in the surf and let the water wash away the pain.









Will list some more remedies soon. Please feel free too leave some of your remedies too, would love to hear from you. Enjoy....
