Steeping Herbs
This is something that is
very easy to do. Herbs that have been steeped in water are
excellent to use in baths. All you need is the herb of choice, a glass
jar with a lid, a
piece of cheesecloth to strain the water through, although some like to
have bits of
the herb left in their water, personal choice here.
Add water to a pot and get it boiling, add the herbs enough so that you
can get a
good scent. After adding the herbs let it come to an immediate boil then
remove
from the burner and let sit, cover and leave it for several hours.
When done, strain through the cheese cloth and pour into containers. It
is done!
Now that was easy, right? Use these when you are doing a spell that requires
a dip
in the tub, BUT make sure first that the herbs you use are SAFE on skin!!!
Please
read up on the herb you wish to use, if you don't have the books, call
an herbal or
occult shop and ask questions, please be safe here!!
One of my favorites to steep is Patchouli, it has an incredible earthy
scent to it!!
