A hot bath infused with dried herbs and salts helps to rejuvenate and relax the body.Bath salts are fun, easy, and inexpensive to make. Personalize the mixture by adding the garden aromas of home-dried lemon-verbena, scented geranium leaves, rosemary, lavender flowers, or calendula petals. A few drops of your favorite essential oils, intensifies the fragrance.
