Medicinal Plant Bath Recipe

August 27, 2022

  Here's a favorite medicinal plant bath recipe for healing layers of sexual / reproductive trauma. 

  This medicinal plant bath can be administered as a hot soak or a cold rinse (essence style), for at least four days in a row and as needed thereafter. For optimal results this bath should be taken first thing after waking and/or last thing before bed. Whenever possible - work with fresh plants, give thanks, and sing their songs as you prepare this bath. 

Tools:

1. One glass or ceramic container that holds at least 30 oz of liquid
2. A heating element

 Steps:

1. Center yourself and clear your work space.
