Step-by-Step Guide

Step 2: Set Your Intentions

Write a self-care intention for your bath experience

Example intentions include: “During this bath, I will be kind to myself, be patient with my body, stay grounded, release my negative thoughts, and be in the present."

Intention-Setting Instructions

Step 3: Set Your Environment

Make your bathroom into a sanctuary

  • Flowers
  • Candles
  • Bath Tools
  • Bath Lighting

Step 4: Boil Hot Water

You will need to boil water for the experience

  • 3L for the bathhouse formula - 1.75L is one large kettle's worth of water
  • 1L for tea (for the kit only)
  • Optional: Boil your electric kettle inside the bathroom for steam and convenience

Step 5: Run Your Bath Waters

Fill your tub 1/3 of the way with hot water with the door closed

  • The goal is to make your bathroom nice and steamy so that it creates a sauna-like environment and helps retain scent better (makes the atmosphere heavier so the scent lingers longer)
  • Optional: Place a towel at the foot of the door to prevent steam from escaping and increase humidity inside the bathroom (please note that this can be a safety and fire hazard so please be aware of the risks)

Step 6: Light Your Candles

Melt the top before sprinkling in lavender

If you have our candles, we recommend lighting it on a flat, heat-proof plate or in a votive candle glass jar.

  • I do not recommend introducing scented candles into this experience - the scent is meant to be light, natural, and gentle

Step 7: Prepare Bathhouse Tea Bag

Cut the top off

Put the tea bag over the bath blend

Flip everything upside down and allow the ingredients to pour into the tea bag

Tie the strings tightly until the tea bag is closed

  • Take one string and, in one direction, wrap it around the top tightly; take the other string and tie it tightly in the opposite direction
  • Tie a knot so that formula is secure in place

Step 8: Prepare to Steep Bathhouse Tea Bag

Prepare inside the bathroom

  • Bring the large pot to the bathroom and place it on a stable, heat-resistant, and flat surface
  • Place the Bathhouse tea bag inside the large pot
  • Pour boiling hot water into pot
  • Use wooden spoon to press down lightly occasionally
  • Optional: Place a towel at the foot of the door to prevent steam from escaping

Step 9: Steep Bathhouse Tea Bag

Steep for 8-10 minutes inside the bathroom then throw the bath blend into the tub

  • Leave the door closed
  • Let the aroma steep through
  • After 8-10 minutes throw entire tea bath blend and the content into the bath

Step 10: Brew Oolong Milk Tea

This Oolong tea is meant to be steeped over and over

Brew an entire pot because this tea isn't meant for just one cup! Please note that oolong tea has caffeine!

Step 11: Light Your Palo Santo Stick

I smelled palo santo for the first time a couple of years ago, specifically, I smelled the Ecuadorian Palo Santo (which is the one you have in your kit). The scent was deeply soothing and made my spirit feel lighter yet grounded. Palo Santo is used specifically in Indigenous practices to purify the space and stay connected with our ancestors.

See video below on how Indigenous people use Palo Sticks.

Using Palo Santo is subjective and up to you - as long as we are doing it in a respectful and sustainable way. Whether you're using it for spiritual purposes or because you want to immerse in this unique scent, appreciate this historic wood.

  • Light the Palo Santo stick over the flame for 30 seconds at a 45 degree angle (outside the bathroom)
  • Blow out the fire (smoke should immediately appear)
  • Let the smoke linger for a 2-3 seconds inside the bathroom (you don't want it too smokey)

This is not a one-time use stick. Continue using as desired.

Step 12: Select Your Auditory Experience

This bath is about bringing together the different senses in a seamless way. Instead of putting on a TV show or sitting in silence, appreciate diverse sounds and rhythms and colour your thoughts with our relaxation playlists.

P.S. We are not affiliated with Spotify, but we do love them. You need Spotify premium to enjoy this.

Mountain Fog Bathhouse Playlist
Though the mountain is still, it is full of life.  This dreamy and airy playlist was intentionally curated to lighten your spirit and bring you kind thoughts and dreams. Let your spirit swim free in this milky, reviving bath.

Calming Nature Bath
‍Sometimes, nature is what we need to feel free and pure. This playlist was curated so you can close your eyes and picture yourself with the trees, birds, and water, surrounded by Mother Earth and her soul-nourishing beauty. Dance with the birds, smell the fresh rain, and taste the salty ocean air.

Meditative Relaxation Playlist 
Mindful meditation will elevate your bath experience, transforming your routine into a soulful ritual that is rejuvenating and rebalancing. I fell in love with Tibetan singing bowls during my travels in Asia - so let these sounds wash over your mind, body and soul as you soak in our warm baths.

Be Intentional

Review your bath intention and put your phone away. Similar to going to attending public bathhouses, put your phone away and be in the moment. Practice mindfulness and meditation.

Relax and Enjoy

Suggestions:

  • Make sure you have plenty of water to stay hydrated during the bath experience
  • Put a towel at the foot of the door so the steam is contained (be careful because it could be a health hazard - it could get too hot)
I hope this bath experience offers you some comfort and relief from the daily stressors that overwhelm and drain us. When you're done your bath, click "I am done by bath" on the home page.
