Heathcote & Ivory Lavender Fields Bathing Flowers in Sliding Box, 85 g

Product Information

There are a few things to consider before getting started. In the Shipibo culture, flower bath rituals are taken in the morning or day time. You’ll need to air dry afterward and abstain from showering or bathing again for a minimum of four to five hours after your flower bath, so plan accordingly. Even if I am not overheated or irritated, I enjoy steeping my body in the sheer beauty of this revitalizing, healing flower.

As you sit in a lavender bath and breathe in the aroma, it helps to keep away congestion and colds. Lavender is true to the Latin roots of its name, lavare, which means to wash. This bathing herb washes away skin problems, colds and tension. Ideally, you also want to abstain from anything that is energetically disruptive or that might compete with the plants, including alcohol or meat, for three days before and after your flower bath ritual. Try to not include more than three different kinds of plants in your bath. Some common flowers that I love working with and find to be universally beneficial include: All rose petals are medicinal! Any rose petal can be used in your bath as long as it is not sprayed with chemicals. Yes, the pink, red, purple, yellow, gold, white and orange petals from your rose bushes have lots of healing properties and make luxurious baths. I especially like to bathe with red and pink rose petals, but you can use any color or type of rose petal. I don’t recommend commercial roses because of the amount of herbicide used in their production. As always, you want your herbs to be organic and pesticide free. These materials are a far cry from the clinical, glossy surfaces of a corporate hotel, says Wilson. Rather, they borrow from the boutique-hotel aesthetic. Watson-Smyth points to the fashion for "unkitchen-y" kitchens with open shelves and sofas. "That notion has moved into bathrooms," and, she says, people are asking themselves: "How would I decorate if it was a living room?". So instead of a fitted vanity unit, there's a pretty curtain to hide your medical and cosmetic paraphernalia. Along with foliage, rattan wall lights, a free-standing bath, soft textiles like bathmats that mimic Persian rugs and curtains, and wallpaper – as long as it's properly applied – all add to the non-clinical, sanctuary feel.Summer is a particularly aligned time to embrace the practice of flower baths because of the obvious abundance of blooms. Also, the warm temperatures afford you an additional connection to nature if you take your bath outside. 2.
