Procedure
- Place a sachet of dried flowers in warm bath water for a few minutes, for an adult recreational bath only.
- Do not put the infusion in the eyes or use it as an eye compress. A home infusion is not sterile; a sterile cloth does not make it sterile. Empty the sachet after use.
Notes
For an adult recreational bath only, not treatment or an infant recipe. Avoid with Asteraceae allergy, open wounds, extensive skin injury, acute skin disease, high fever or severe infection. Also avoid full baths with severe circulatory disorders or heart failure.
Why it works
These home proportions and timings are not a validated medicinal dose. The EMA monograph supplies bath safety restrictions; its specific preparations and concentrations cannot be equated with this recreational recipe.
