*Ingredients:

                       Tub

                       Warm water (No hot water)

                       Mint or mint oil (You may substitute this with any herbs you like.)

                       15 minutes of your time

*Process:

First, fill the tub with warm water and soak yourself for 15 minutes, no longer than 20 minutes. Please remember that “Too much of good thing is not necessary good for you”. So, limit the time to 20 minutes. The key is “to fill the water just about the level of your belly button”. The idea behind this is to promote Qi to circulate. It is very effective way if you lacks the energy, tired all the time, suffers from insomnia, and your extremities are cold. Since it helps to circulate qi, you are likely to feel “less pain”. This has been known and encouraged in Asian medicine for thousands of years.

*Good news is…”It does not cost tons of your money”.  

*What does mint do? In Asian medicine, mint herb does many things. (From Materia Medica)
