Medicinal baths have been part of practically all traditions in the world. They can be purifying, harmonizing, flourishing; they can stimulate abundance, love, inner peace, compassion for others and for ourselves. <\/p>\n\n
You can prepare medicinal baths, sitz baths and steam baths. You use 20 to 50g. (depending on the type of bath) of the medicinal bath plant mixture in a pot with water. It can sit overnight and you heat it in the morning or you can heat it to a boil, turn off and let it infuse for 20 minutes. Each mixture will have its own guidance and you will also be able to explore how you best extract the benefits of the plants. <\/p>\n\n
Whenever you take a purification bath, then combine it with a harmonizing bath, to also integrate everything good.<\/p>\n\n
Generally purifying baths have plants with antibiotic properties, which help repel bacteria, viruses and heavy energies. You can combine verbena, artemisia, rue, sage, oregano, rosemary, thyme, calendula. <\/p>\n\n
Harmonizing and flourishing baths integrate plants that sweeten and harmonize the being, they are usually more delicate and should only be infused, not boiled. You can work with chamomile, roses, jasmine, geranium, lemongrass, palmarosa, lemon balm, lemon verbena, a little mint, spearmint, basil, cinnamon. Harmonizing baths should be left on the body without rinsing. <\/p>\n\n
You can use the plant mixtures and re-infuse them 2 to 3 times.<\/p>\n\n
Fomentation is an ancestral technique in which a cloth soaked in an infusion of medicinal plants is applied to the skin, usually accompanied by heat.<\/p>\n\n
Soak a towel in the infusion needed to relieve inflammation, pain or flu. Wring out the towel so it remains damp and warm. To keep it warm, cover the towel with another towel or cotton cloth, you can repeat the process several times if necessary. <\/p>\n\n
Use dehydrated plants and place them in a dry glass jar. Slowly add extra virgin olive oil or sesame oil until one finger above the plants. Leave the bottle in a warm place without direct light for two weeks. The quality depends on the oil and the plants you use. Do not use hydrogenated oils. <\/p>\n\n
Between two pieces of damp hot cotton muslin place loose leaf herbs, powder or pulp, and then place on the skin and affected surfaces. Ideal for reducing inflammation and decreasing pain. <\/p>\n\n
It can be fresh or steamed. A wooden roller is passed over the fresh plants that are between muslin, thus extracting the sap. Then it is wrapped around the affected area so it absorbs the juices.
For a hot poultice, place the plants in a colander over a water bath so they soften with maximum steam for 10 minutes. Then apply directly to the affected area and cover with muslin or a towel to retain the heat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
