This slightly acidic bath helps to rinse away soap residues on your skin and reinstates your own natural acid balance. It is also a good way to counteract vaginal yeast infections because the acidic environment will kill many harmful organisms. This particular combination of herbs helps to alleviate stress.

Combine all of the ingredients and heat just until boiling. Allow the mixture to steep for several hours or even overnight. Strain off all solids by pouring the mixture through a fine strainer or through a coffee filter into a jar. Pour the entire mixture into a warm bath and enjoy.

Note: This recipe can be doubled or tripled if you would like to have extra on hand.
