Soak + Soothe blend
a divinely scented, very relaxing anti-inflammatory blend for tired bodies, feet + skin :::
We all dream of taking endless flower baths right? Well Soak + Soothe is that, and more!
This can be a lush bath blend of 4 beautifully scented herbs, lovingly tended, handpicked and hand processed from the farm to you, it can be strewn across the water if you like it rustic, or added to a small cotton bag if you prefer not having to sift out debris later. The scent alone will do wonders for relieving stress, tension + headaches, as well as bring forth feelings of peace, calm resolve + grounded hope, but these herbs combined also offer wondrous toning for the skin, anti-inflammatory effects for sore muscles, and can cool down and soothe itchy, irritated or sunburned skin too.
Suggested Use:
AS A BATH BLEND: Transfer contents of Soak + Soothe over into a large jar (store in a cool place out of direct sunlight for longevity) then use the cotton drawstring bag for baths. Add a small handful to your bath, either loose or inside cotton bag – let it steep for at least 5 minutes before you get in for maximum scent pleasure. Leave in while you bath for maximum skin + body benefits, even rub the bag across the skin for all the good smells and healthy skin. Great for adding to magnesium bath salts too for a very luxurious bath experience.
HOT TIP: add a Tablespoon of organic Oats or Rolled Oats (yes for porridge) to Soak + Soothe inside the cotton bag for an extra lush bath experience! You’ll feel like Cleopatra in your milky bath and your skin will feel so smooth and moisturised afterwards, but beware if using with babies and children, it’s totally safe but Oats makes them extra slippery!
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A BATH:
Do as above but soak tired feet in a FOOT BATH inside a large bowl or tub. Brew into a very floral and very lush HERBAL TEA (yummy hot or iced). After the tea has cooled it’ll also make a beautiful FACE or HAIR WASH. Infuse the herbs in your oil of choice to make a lush HERBAL BODY OIL. Stitch some into a DREAM PILLOW, or gift to parents for them to add to a BABY BATH, with its antibacterial properties it’ll both clean bubs as well as soothe them for sleep.
Ingredients: organically farm grown LEMON BALM (Melissa officinalis), LAVENDER (Lavandula augustifolia), CORNFLOWERS (Centaurea cyanus), ROSE (Rosa centifolia)
60g cotton drawstring bag (10 x 15cm)
What is Mutual Aid? Who am I "paying forward" to?
In our attempt to make plant medicines more accessible for all, Seed Medicine Garden sends regular free medicine donations to communities as needs arise. In the past this has included Indigenous activists, youth leaders and trans youth, as well as homeless single mothers, refugees and members of the disabled community.
When you "pay forward" 1 or 2 products, you will still receive one (or selected quantity) of your chosen medicine as well as donating the credit for 1 or 2 products to go towards our herbal mutual aid projects.
There seems to be an increasing call for plant support through these times and we are continually seeking pathways to those who need it most. Please contact us: connect@seedmedicine.garden if you or a community you know is without financial means but needing herbal care.
