Mothers Day Herbal Gift

Lavender recipes for health and beauty products are very popular. From a herbal perspective lavender has been used to remedy anxiety, depression, mental exhaustion for centuries, but most of us love it for its smell which is heavenly.

The Art of Appreciation Gift Baskets Large Lavender Renewal Spa, Bath and Body Set is filled with lavender cosmetics and is a no brainer choice sure to please the senses, and you'll be in Mom's good graces for months to come each time she uses her lavender inufused soaps, lotions, and shower gels.

Stressful times call for full-body relaxation, and nothing relaxes the body like Bath By Bettijo Soothing Tub Tea. Instead of a cuppa, you'll find pouring those herbs into the bath tub is equally rejuvenating. Herbs like lavender, spearmint,  eucalyptus, and chamomile melt away stress.

Mom will really appreciate your thoughtfulness as she breathes in the herbal steam and the hot water melts away the stress of the day. You might be tempted to borrow, so order one for yourself.

If your mother prefers showers to baths, she can still benefit from the rejuvenating effects of herbs when she uses Hydra Shower Burst. These effervescent tablets are infused with the essential oils of herbs like peppermint and release their therapeutic scent when the hot water of the shower hits them.

As you breathe in the steam, the scent from the tablets is known to clear the sinuses and the mind. Even better, there are no harsh chemicals like formaldehyde, parabens, or petroleum. Mom will emerge from her shower re-energized with a clear mind and sinuses.

A candle does more than create a nice ambiance. Beeswax candles like the Long-lasting Hand-cast 100% Pure Beeswax Candle by Big Dipper produce negative ions as they burn which cleans the air and removes odors. Nowadays soy and vegetable oil candles are popular, but they seem sterile to me with no therapeutic value.

Although parafin is from a plant, it is petroleum and doesn't burn clean -- it actually dirties the air. Beeswax produces negative ions which cleans the air and removes odors as it burns. No other wax does that.

Of course Mom will appreciate a traditional gift like a dozen roses or perfume, but it really shows you care when you give a gift that promotes health and wellness.
