Once, I got a very fancy bath gift. It was a gallon of dried herbs and rose hips and orange peels. It came with a special bath tea ball, that looked just like a regular tea ball only MUCH bigger. It smelled sooo good, only I could never get the tea ball to seal completely. That meant little bits of herbs would float into the bath and stick to me when I got out. Yuck.
To get around that, I replaced the tea ball with a section of pantyhose. Make your own tea bag by using ingredients like oatmeal (soften skin) lavender (calming) peppermint (invigorating) or any number of other herbs for their scent or effect. Use old herbal teas (past their 'drink by' date) like chamomile and mint. Use it to corral your epsom salts, so you don't have to feel that grainyness as you bathe.
Put your tea bag in your bath as it fills, or just let it float around and steep. If you've attached a tie to the bag, you can attach it to the faucet and let the water filter through it, then let it float around with you in your bath.
