Tea Baths: An Ancient Practice for Body and Nervous System

Tea baths are part of Chinese and Japanese tradition, historically used to ease colds and support skin health.

How It Works

Tannins and antioxidants dissolved in warm water provide a gentle anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.

GABA Tea in the Bath

A GABA tea bath offers a dual relaxing effect — through the warm water itself, and through the aroma released in the steam, functioning as natural aromatherapy.

Pu-erh in the Bath

Traditionally used to ease muscle tension after a day of hard physical labour.

Simple Recipe

Steep 2–3 tablespoons of loose-leaf pu-erh or GABA oolong in a cloth bag, add to a warm (not hot) bath, and soak for 15–20 minutes.

A Note of Caution

Patch test first if you have sensitive skin, particularly before using a concentrated infusion.
