In celebration of my new apartment’s bathtub, I’ve been experimenting a lot lately with **Bath Blends**! 🛁🌹 These are quick, simple, and very easy blends using the things I already have lying around! 👍 Since they cost nothing extra to make, I’m offering this as my own addition to this week’s [Witchy Challenge on Being a Thrifty Witch](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-the-thrifty-witch/2842/27) 💸 ![bath mix 1](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/0/0875c785de55ab17ccc1b9a33020dc700b78c663.jpeg) To make a bath blend, choose a combination of ingredients: - **Flower petals/buds** - I almost always have a bouquet on the table, so when the flowers are almost wilted, I get one more use out of them! You could also use fresh petals from garden flowers or dried petals. My favorite to use are roses 🌹 - **Herbs** - same as flowers, both dried or fresh will work! I highly recommend chamomile for it’s soothing skincare properties. Calendula is also lovely and healing for the skin. Lavender has a gentle and relaxing scent. If you don’t have fresh or dried herbs, you can consider using an extract [❗ But be careful with extracts and essential oils- they should only be used in very small quantities, and some may cause irritation to your skin!] - **Salt** - Salt dissolves in bath water and has a host of medicinal and magickal benefits. I always have Seat Salt in the kitchen cupboard, but you may consider using purified salt like a [Salt Cleanser Blend](https://forum.spells8.com/t/feel-the-cleanse-of-a-salt-bowl/1541), or try Himalayan Sea Salt or Lava Salt (with activated charcoal). You may even consider using a blend of magickal [Black Salt](https://forum.spells8.com/t/black-salt-recipe/919)! - **Crystals** - Adding a charged crystal to your blend will help to give your blend the qualities of the crystal you use. I almost always include my favorite [Orange Aventurine](https://www.soulsistersdesigns.com/orange-aventurine) stone to help draw in joy and good fortune 🌞 ![IMG_20200706_071204](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/6/6ca71b7be09f2bf94d07f538c0857ef5beceb659.jpeg) If you have the time, leave the bath blend on a windowsill overnight to charge it with the power of the moon 🌕. You could also say a chant, although I usually prefer to focus my intent mentally as I make the blend ✨ ![IMG_20200717_144722](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/2X/0/0005f1389f5b838ceffafb51fe782a978e9dc797.jpeg) (For the blend in the picture above, I actually let the mix soak in just an inch of water for an hour or so before I took my bath- I wanted to let the water really soak up the goodness of the petals! 🌹 ) And ta-dah! Add the mix to your next hot bath for a beautiful, luxurious, and blessed experience 😊🌹 I’m not at the level of making fancy bath bombs yet- but maybe soon! 😁 I love how simple but delightful these easy blends are to make. And, if you use what you have on hand, a little luxury in the bath is totally free! ✨ Blessed Be (and Happy Baths!) to All! 🛁🌹 ---

I am envious of your bathtub! It is beautiful 😍 Bath ritual is something I want to start doing now that I also have a bathtub, but I can’t let things float around or clog up the drain, so I am actually planning on getting some of those tea bags that you can refill and using those to hold my ingredients - like a bath tea lol ---

Oh that looks lovely 😍 Unfortunately I don’t handle heat well so baths make me super dizzy. But I can still admire the aesthetic 😆 ---

> [@MeganB](#): > > I am actually planning on getting some of those tea bags that you can refill and using those to hold my ingredients - like a bath tea lol A great idea! 😁 👍 Sometimes when I’m feeling lazy I’ll just throw a chamomile tea bag or two into the bath- it makes the water nice and soothing, is super quick and easy, and there’s no clean-up at all! 😆 > [@christine4](#): > > Unfortunately I don’t handle heat well so baths make me super dizzy. Oh no, sorry to hear it! Maybe a lukewarm or chill bath would be okay? In summer when it gets very hot, it can be nice to have a cold bath from time to time! 🛁❄ ---

Do you have low blood pressure maybe? I have low BP and I get dizzy in hot baths too, so I have them luke warm and run the cold tap ❄ towards the end of bathing, so when I stand up, the bath has cooled. It helps alot and it’s bizzarely refreshing! 😂 ---

oh love your bathub! I had a nice one in our last place but this one is just a bathtub…lol I do a lot of herbal soaks,…as a matter of fact, all my baths are herbal soaks…they are soo relaxing and mind opening ---

go lukewarm, don’t worry about it, when the water starts to chill too much, add a little more warm. A lot of people cant’ handle the hot water or even the steam ---

> [@roxanne](#): > > I do a lot of herbal soaks,…as a matter of fact, all my baths are herbal soaks…they are soo relaxing and mind opening Very true! 😁 Hahaha I know how it is- I started with just a special herb bath here and there, but they are so nice and relaxing, now almost every bath I want to add a bath blend too 🛁🌹! I haven’t had a completely normal bath in weeks- always gotta throw a little bath salt or some petals in! 😆 ---

Question for you all! What do you all do with herbs used in your spiritual baths when you are finished? ---

I either let them go down the drain or put them in the trash or compost. It depends, really. I don’t do much spiritual bathing with loose herbs because it’s just messy lol ---

@BryWisteria congratulations on the bathtub! I know your delight in having one. My current apartment doesn’t have a bathtub, just a stand- up shower… ( Do miss it. However, i have a patio. Compromise lol…)Your bath ritual looks amazing! Blessed bath rituals! ---

I don’t have a bath tub either! Downside to full-time RV living. I’ve been researching how to do these with showers but have to figure out how to make it work with my shower head. ---

Great question @sarah29! 👍 I second the advice Megan gave- loose-leaf herbs or flower petals in ritual baths can be scooped up and disposed of in many of the same ways you can [dispose of ritual offerings](https://forum.spells8.com/t/help-with-offerings/2061). Having the petals and herbs float around is very atmospheric, but if you’re short on time or don’t want to deal with the mess, you can **tie them up neatly in a little cheesecloth/muslin ball** , **put them into a one-use teabag** , or just **use a pre-made teabag** (chamomile tea bags are a favorite of mine- most stores carry them, and they make a lovely bath!) 🛁 🌼 * * * Thank you so much, @walter! ❤ It’s been a delight- perfect for ritual baths and end-of-the-day relaxation! 🛁 😌 Lots of benefits of being on the road @Amaris_Bane, but I understand the longing for a bathtub! Luckily, it’s pretty easy to make it work- here’s some advice on [how to adjust bath rituals into shower rituals](https://forum.spells8.com/t/bath-improvisation/3188). There were some lovely shower ritual ideas shared as entries to the [Bath/Shower Challenge](https://forum.spells8.com/t/weekly-witchy-challenge-scrub-a-dub-magick-in-the-tub/5486) a while too that may help to inspire you! Happy shower rituals! 🚿 ✨ ---

Thank you @MeganB . Great ideas for tub-less dwellers. I also do a leave on bath. I bring, chamomile, sage, flower-petals or rose-petals and various herbs to a light boil. Let it cool down. Light some candles, incense, and witchy music while i shower. Whole time I’m showering I recite an intention for whatever purpose im needing at the time. Have my usual shower and when im done, i pour the ritual bath over me and let it dry on me. Its especially great to do right before bedtime for me. I let the infused magick fill my dreams. I may do a moon- bath like this tomorrow. Thank you for sharing. Blessed be. ---
