Limited Edition Just the Goods Deep Rest Bath Salts and / or Deep Rest Herbal Tea

Last summer’s garden gave me a beautiful abundance of California poppies! Instead of hanging this harvest to dry as I did the summer previous, I used a dehydrator and I’m very pleased with the results -- the petals were preserved so nicely! If you’re familiar with the cut and sifted herb that typically comes from most growers/suppliers, chances are you haven’t seen them as bright and full as this!

In any case, I wasn’t sure how folks might best enjoy using them, so I invited those on Instagram to respond to a poll and deep rest bath salts was the overwhelming favourite.

Once I finished making the bath salts with all the california poppy on hand, I couldn't help reflecting on how nice it is to enjoy a warm cup of soothing herbal tea before, during, or after a bath, so I decided to share my favourite deep rest tea, as well. Please find both below, offered separately using the drop down menu provided. 

The bath salt features: 

• Magnesium sulphate (aka Epsom salt) relieves muscle tension
• Since ancient times, hops have been prized for their ability to promote gentle relaxation, both when consumed in beverages, and enjoyed in a bath (Organic, grown by Rebel Roots Farm)
• Maypop (aka passion flower) reduces restlessness by helping to quiet a busy mind, which in turn supports deeper, more restorative sleep. Where skin care is concerned, it's said to be high in antioxidants that help protect skin against environmental stressors, while it's high levels of vitamins A and C nourish skin keeping it firm and capable of regeneration, and valuable omega-6 essential fatty acids help to prevent dryness (Organic, sourced by Harmonic Arts)
• Although california poppy is most frequently enjoyed as a tea or tincture, it is often used as part of a herbal compress on the skin to help promote rest by soothing the nervous system (Organic, grown by Just the Goods)
• Aromatherapeutically, marjoram essential oil soothes emotions to provide gentle relief from sadness, tension, and anxiety to support sleep
• Chamomile essential oil reduces inflammation and helps soothe nerves
