CHAMOMILE SHAMPOO


4 bags chamomile tea
1 1/2 cups water
4 T. pure soap flakes (I used Ivory)
1 1/2 T. glygerin OR 1 t. oil


Bring water to boil and steep tea bags 20 minutes. (at this point I added some rosemary leaves because I get itchy scalp real bad). After 20 minutes remove tea bags (and strain), stir in soap flakes until soft or melted, then add oil. (I also added 5 drops lavender essential oil). Let cool then place in container. Store this under a cabinet until you use it. Swish around gently before you use it.

I made this yesterday and last nigth I put this on after I washed my face, I feel in love. My face felt refreshed and smooth!! I didnt need a cream after but I did put on my chickweed salve I make because I love it too!! I have horrible acne and if I do not use that salve, I break out horribly. So I am hoping with this added to my arsinal, I wont ever have problems...Plus this was so easy to make I will always make this!! (as long as it works!!)
