You can add healing herbs to a hot bath to relax and soothe irritated skin and sore muscles or just to improve general skin tone and comfort. A generous handful of fresh chickweed crushed and tied in a cotton cloth and immersed in a hot bathtub provides relief for eczema and will even ease the irritation caused by stinging nettles.
The summer blossoms of calendula are soothing for eczema and ace. Allow yourself to soak 15 -20 minutes in a bath of hot water in which you’ve immersed a generous handful of fresh blossoms, crushed and tied in a cotton cloth.
Calendula flowers are also used in tinctures, creams and burn ointments.
