Oatmeal Bath

• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• Clean cotton sock
• Calendula petals, lavender buds, or rose petals (optional)

Mix oatmeal with herbs and put it into a clean cotton sock. Insert sock over the bath faucet and secure it in place with a heavy-duty rubber band. The kind that comes wrapped around your broccoli spears. Start running water slowly until oatmeal and sock are completely wet and then you can turn up the pressure. After you have run the bath, take the sock off of the faucet and tie a knot in it and massage your skin with the sock. When you are done with a nice long soak, rinse off, apply body lotion, and sigh with contentment.
