Instructions

Fill the sink or medium sized bowl with hot water.

Add 2 capfuls of the rose nourishing bath milk or lemon bath milk, or use the warm herb tea. Fold and soak the washcloth in the bath milk. The cloth can be a face washer or muslin compressing cloth which is more absorbent and hydrating to the skin.
Squeeze the water from the cloth until it is nearly dry.

Open it out and cover your face, taking 3 deep breaths to inhale the smells. Place the cloth over the forehead and take 3 breaths, over the nose/cheek area and take 3 breaths and then over the mouth/neck area for another 3 breaths.
Refresh cloth in the bath milk and squeeze dry again.

Repeat this process starting at the forehead but this time with a rolling out, both hands together starting from the either side of the nose and rolling out toward the ears 3 times. Proceed down the face over the nose/ cheeks rolling out 3 times, then mouth areas rolling out 3 times towards the ears.
Repeat for 3 cycles.
Refresh the cloth in the bath milk and starting from the middle, hands touching, roll out over the neck towards the ears.
Refresh and squeeze out cloth again and fold into a small rectangle. Place this on the back of your neck. Take some deep breaths allowing relaxation of your body and a sense of uprightness. In hot weather, or if you are feeling overheated, placing a warm cloth on the back of the neck can also help to cool.
Apply over healthy skin. Cease use, if redness or agitation develops.

These cool washes are brisk and invigorating to increase awareness of personal space in relation to the environment. The cool water and contractive qualities of salt applied to the whole body awaken the nerve endings, which help a person to be more aware of their boundary and spatial orientation. Rosemary stimulates the circulatory system, bringing wakefulness through it’s warmth in combination with the cool water and invigorating application.

Please note, blood pressure may elevate after this treatment.

Instructions

Prepare the space to be adequately warm and free of drafts, and lay out and/or warm the clothes in readiness for after the treatment.
