Day 6: Oats and Chamomile are great herbs for stress

oat bath

Did you know that one of the most nourishing herbs for stress could be purchased at your local market?
Yesterday we had a really brief introduction to oatmeal and chamomile as digestive aids. Today, we’re going to relax with them.

Make sure you get an hour for yourself tonight. You deserve it. Just imagine you're that person in that bath.

FIRST…
Make yourself a cup of chamomile tea. We all know it is relaxing. Chamomile has many amazing properties, and one of them is that it is helpful for our nervous systems. Make the tea just like you made the peppermint tea yesterday.
SECOND…
Make yourself a luxurious Oat bath. You’ll also use the milk and honey here. YES...I know, you had that for breakfast. BUT, take a look at the many brands of oat, milk and honey soap bars on the market and you'll see I'm not just making this up.
PREPARATION:
1. Fill a small muslin bag with the oats, or tie the oats securely inside a piece of muslin or cheesecloth.
2. Run a bath, making sure that the hot water runs through the oat bag. You can hang the bag over the hot tap, or attach it with a length of string.
3. Warm a half cup of whole milk without boiling it. Stir in the honey.
4. Add the milk and honey to the bath water.
5. Climb in and relax. Use the oat bag as a soft washcloth to clean your skin.
Oats are an amazing plant. They are VERY nourishing for our nervous systems. One of the best herbs for stress.
