1	c	Of your favorite herb or herb combination

You will need a partner's help for this treatment when wrapping yourself up.

Fill a large sink or bucket with very hot, but not boiling, water. Pour in your herbs and allow to steep for 5 minutes. Lay the plastic drop cloth on your bed. Wring out the towel or sheets and wrap around your body. Lie down on the bed and have your partner help you wrap yourself in the plastic drop cloth. Cover yourself with blankets and lie quietly for 10 minutes - no more! Slowly unwrap yourself and get up. Enjoy the wonderful sense of relaxation this treatment provides.

Note: Though this has yet to be proven, you will probably lose some water weight, and it is a great way to totally relax.
