Here's a lovely recipe for a Lavender & Rosemary Milk Bath. With just about 5 minutes of prep time you can have an aromatic and healing bath. Enjoy!...

Editor's Note: Muscle-relaxing magnesium will be absorbed from the Epsom salts while the buttermilk and powdered milk soften the skin. This aromatherapy blend is good for a morning bath, as Rosemary and Lavender stimulate the body by increasing circulation and assisting the lymphatic system in eliminating metabolic waste products that may accumulate in the body overnight. Inhaling Lavender and Rosemary in your steamy bath may also help relieve lung and sinus congestion.
