Herbal Bath from Mayan Healer Miss Beatrice Waight

A wide variety of powerful protective herbs can be used in making herbal baths. Herbs such as Rosemary, Mint, Basil, Marigold leaf, Rue, St. John’s wort, Vervain, Mugwort, Sage, Sagebrush, can all be used.

Gather the herbs with the intention for healing and cleansing the auric field. Add several handfuls of herbs to a large bucket of water. With prayerful thoughts of intention tear the herbs into small pieces and place the water in the sun for several hours. This not only captures the plants essence but infusing the herbs into the water.

Then without straining the water, pour by cupful’s over the body. Do not rinse off after the herbal baths and keep pieces of the herbs on you until they dry off; the effects will be stronger.

In many traditions across the globe a cold bath method similar to this one has been used. You could do this outside in a swimsuit on a warm day or bring the bucket inside and do in the shower.
