Inspired by these beautiful sunflowers, this bath includes herbs representative of solar energy. The sun carries the energy of power, confidence, positivity, joy, physical energy, friendship, and removing depression and low mood. We often focus on moon based energy, or rituals, but there are other planets that have unique energies that can be used for not only rituals but also these baths.
Summer is coming to a close and I used a lot of what was growing in the medicinal garden here in the studio. So if you have these particular herbs that is great but you can switch them out for other sun herbs. There are lots of options for other herbs that have correspondences with the sun. If a particular herb or flower calls out to you that makes you feel joy and lifts your mood then use that!
