Directions

You will need 1- 2 gallon cooking pot preferably with non-metal internal surface. Stainless steel pot is the second choice. Spring or distilled water will work well. If you have only chlorinated water, fill the pot with water, boil it for 5 min and let stay for 8 - 12 h before use.

Fill the pot with water, put the bath sachet in and let soak for about 20 min. It is acceptable to leave the sachet soak for the whole day. Bring the water to boiling and brew on low fire under the lid for about 20-30 min. Make sure that water is hardly boiling. As an alternative, brew the bath at near boil temperature for about 30 - 40 min. Turn off the fire and let steep with occasional stirring for about 30 - 60 min. It is ready for the tub.
