English Gardener's Herbal Bath Soak by Great Elm Physick Garden
Gloriously invigorating, muscle-rejuvenating bath salts that are a life-saver after a very hard day in the garden or a tough sporting effort. Designed to work deep down to aid the recovery of hard-pushed muscles and bones, this blend of detoxing Epsom Salts and skin-softening bicarbonate with warming herbal essential oils is pretty much guaranteed to make you feel human again. Pour a handful into a very hot bath, slide in and relax: simply excellent!
The ginger and galbanum (originally from Middle East but part of the British herbalist’s lexicon since the Middle Ages or before), work as analgaesics, relaxing and warming over-wrought muscles, and dealing with bruising and swellings. Wintergreen with its distinctive, pungent aroma, was traditionally used for all chronic forms of muscle and joint troubles such as rheumatism, lumbago and sciatica.
Lavender helps with fatigue and calms frayed nerves. Rosemary, apart from being a useful antiseptic, revitalises. A simple blend that makes a good warm bath even more pleasurable and effective.
SUITS: all skin types.
