Ginger Baths

Posted on November 21, 2014

I hate it when my little loves get sick. I was glad it was at least a 24 hour bug.

They spent most of the day between being curled up on the couch and soaking in a ginger bath. Something my Mom would do for us whenever we got sick. Why ginger? Sounds a little strange huh? I read up on it and found out that ginger is actually good for a lot of different things.

fever/chills/aches/pains.

Also for detoxifying and increasing circulation of the body in general.

Just sprinkle in a tablespoon or 2 on the bottom of the tub and soak.

My favorite thing to do when I’m sick is light candles by the tub, sprinkle in some ginger and then close my eyes and relax. Makes me want to take one just talking about it.

Another thing we like to do (especially when we are sick) is put blankets in the dryer first thing in the morning, then snuggle up on the couch in the warm blankets.

Since the cold weather hit, it’s been a favorite thing around here lately.
