On stressful days or when I am feeling a bit ill, one of my favourite things to do is take a green tea bath.

Green tea baths really assist to soothe your body, mind, and spirit, while leeching out harmful toxins from your body and healing any open wounds or sores you may have.

Green tea baths are extremely nourishing to the body, because they are filled with powerful antioxidants and vitamins that your body needs to slow down or stop signs of aging.

What is a Green Tea bath?

Tea baths are very simple to make. All you need is a couple grams of loose Green, White, Oolong, or Herbal tea and a Muslin bath tea bag which is really the best option (you can also use or about 6 tea bags). Place them in a tub of hot, hot water for ten to twenty minutes. Your bath water will turn a golden brown or dark brown color and this will let you know the antioxidants and vitamins have been released into your bath.
You'll want to wait to get into the bath until the temperature has cooled a bit, because you don't want to climb into a bath that is far to hot and will scold you.
When the time has come to enter the bath, pour a half a cup of honey and/or olive oil into the tub. They will help soften and sooth your skin especially if you tend to have very dry skin.

Another thing you could do before you get into the bath is light a few candles to help set a peaceful atmosphere to really get the full benefits of a relaxing Tea bath.

To really maximize the positive effects of the mental and spiritual ensure that your bathroom and tub have been sufficiently cleaned with all items that might cause distraction out of sight. If this really isn't possible close the shower curtain.

Health Benefits

Green Tea baths really provide some awesome health benefits: Green Tea has natural antibacterial properties so it is awesome for open wounds and sores because the Tea can help clean and heal them right up. Green Tea is loaded with antioxidants and vitamins such as polyphenols, theanine, B vitamins, tannin, and many other powerful nourishing and healing antioxidants and vitamins that are needed to help heal sore muscles, open wounds, rashes, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, cold sores, and many other maladies. Green Tea is also a natural anti inflammatory so it can really help you if you have something such as a sprained ankle.

Another wonderful thing a Green Tea bath can do is draw out harmful toxins and chemicals from your body that cause severe illnesses. Taking a Green Tea bath can even help lift up your spirits and relax your mind because its full of happy B vitamins that really help improve your mood enabling a more relaxed and happier you.
Green Tea baths even help cleanse, tone, and help fight the signs of aging and fatigue on your body, which is something a lot of us spend far too much money on, in the quest for the fountain of youth.

Who would have thought cleansing, toning, fighting the signs of aging and fatigue could be so inexpensive and easy by simply taking Green Tea baths a couple times a month? M
