Bath Tea Soak
Bath Tea Soak
Bath Tea is herbal tea for your whole body! Our skin is the largest organ of the body. It protects us from the environment, regulates body temperature, plays a huge part in the detoxification process, and it is part of the body's immune system. Skin has the ability to absorb a certain amount of the liquids, especially while being massaged or while soaking.

Every single ingredient in the Bath Tea was individually researched and selected by me. I am licensed and practicing holistic esthetician, holistic drugless practitioner, reiki master and certified health coach. I am passionate about using time tested earth remedies to maintain skin and whole body health. Nature has all ingredients for us to heal and stay well.
I LOVE taking baths. It is the easiest and most relaxing way to reap the benefits of these incredible herbal Bath Tea ingredients. I have been experimenting with hundreds of different herbs. This magical mixture is one of my favorites.
