Simple Melatonin and Lavender Bath Soak

We’re sharing a simple melatonin and lavender bath soak today!

If you had a chance to check out my post on hosting a restorative retreat at home, you likely saw the quick and easy swag bags I created for each attendee.

Tucked inside the bags was a melatonin and lavender bath soak which was a big hit and super simple to make!

As with citrus simmer pots, sugar scrubs, and salt scrubs, bath soaks can be given to friends, family members, neighbors, and coworkers for just about any occasion.

Bonus, this melatonin and lavender bath soak only uses 2 ingredients, which means if you have the supplies and containers on hand already, you can whip these up in minutes.

Here’s a look at how to make an easy melatonin and lavender bath soak…

• Dr. Teals Melatonin Sleep Soak
• Dried Lavender
• Ball Flute Jars, similar or Clear Container with a Self-Sealing Lid
• Food Funnel Set (this makes it easier to pour into the containers. I wish I had bought one earlier)
• Tea Bags (this will help keep some of the lavender buds from going down your drain)
• Bowl
• Spoon
• Measuring Cups
• Tarp to Protect Your Work Surfaces

Melatonin and Lavender Bath Soak Steps:

Gather your supplies and lay a tarp or paper down to protect your work surfaces. Make sure your jar or container is free from dirt and debris.

In a medium size bowl, add the desired amount of melatonin sleep soak bath salts

and lavender buds.

Then stir to combine the ingredients together.

Carefully, scoop the melatonin and lavender bath soak into each jar with a spoon or a food funnel.

Once you’re finished, make sure the lid has been carefully secured.

Accent with ribbon and a care card.

Keep in Mind…

All the homes on the island are on a well and septic system, including ours. So, my plan is to use tea bags to help keep the lavender flowers from going down the drain.

If storage is tight at your house or you don’t take enough baths to justify buying the tea bags, consider creating a pocket of sleep soak goodness using cheesecloth or pantyhose.

Retreat Bags Tips and Tricks…

One thing I realized when we were creating the swag bags for my Mom’s birthday weekend in Savannah, is to take the pressure off and make things as simple as possible.  

This means giving practical items that won’t have to be stored long or decluttered over time.

Since we had a restorative retreat theme from the beginning, we made sure each item could be used for “Self-Care Sunday,” sessions or, as with the water bottles and snacks, could be consumed during retreat breakout sessions.

In addition, the melatonin and lavender bath soak was great because it felt really calming to climb into a hot bath after long retreat days, the container can be used again and at 16 oz easily stored as well.

As we transition from one season to another, now is a great time to be thinking about how you can incorporate a solid self-care and rest plan into your life if you haven’t already.

It’s also a great time to plan ahead for holiday gift giving. That way, you’ll be able to enjoy all the good things the season has to offer.

Let us know if you make this melatonin and lavender bath soak and your favorite swag bag items! Until next time, I’ll see you on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.

Many blessings,
