A sachet of chamomile in a hot bath tub melts my post-holiday stress away!
Posting on FB and Twitter. Thanks for this opportunity! Enjoy the holidays!
I have subscribed to your blog and have reposed under facebook (Sandy Horner) Your peppermint tea with your awesome basil has been my stress saver from the holidays. I started skullcap for really bad PMS issues and it has been the best. plan on buying a bunch of it after the holidays
I just posted to facebook twice to share the news about Mountain Rose Herbs.
Diana your bath regime sounds absolutely fabulous. Do you put it in a tea or cloth bag so as not to clog the tub? It does sound relaxing and I wonder if you use lavender, rose petals and chamomile in the whole (herb) form? I’m looking for a way that doesn’t always include essential oils. I wonder if I could substitute poppy flower for the rose?
I make a bath tea with lavender, rose, chamomile, dead sea salt and oatmeal that is heavenly and so relaxing. Posted to my facebook too. thanks for all the great products.
I take fennel seeds and put them in steaming water, then place a washcloth in it then ring out the access water and place on my forehead. It is instant headache relif for me!
Being out in nature helps me relax rather quickly, but the weather isn’t always conducive to this kind of activity.A nice soak in the tub with herbs and candles lit is a great way to relax after the holidays. I feel better just thinking about it
Herbs have always helped me relax throughout the holidays or during any stressful time in my life. If it weren’t for a cup of hot herbal tea and a nice hot bath with lavendar bath salts, I’m not sure what I’d do! This giveaway looks amazing :0) Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!
I have also recently subscribed to your blog and have posted your link to my facebook ;0) Wish me luck!

My favorite way to relax after the holidays is a warm cup of herbal tea and a hot bath. I prefer to use lavender and clary sage essential oils (diluted in Jojoba oil) but will sometimes use the bath salts I made using MRH’s recipe.
I would love to win this! Herbs, like lavendar, help me alot at relaxing. I take lots of baths and use lavendar and in massage bars as well.

I relax with a cozy bath — this giveaway is perfect!
One of the best ways is with a steaming cup of herbal tea while sitting in the rocker beside the wood cookstove. I also like to use essential oils in the tub.

Hi there, I’m a new subscriber…although I have “stalked” you for awhile.
I am a Massage Therapist so I know first hand (lol) the value of herbs for relaxation. My favorite is lavender. I use it in my sessions which helps my client and myself but I also use it in my hand crafted herbal hot paks and whenever I need to relax at home either via essential oil in a little lotion and massaged in or in my eye pak to soothe a nasty headache!
I shared this link on my facebook page. Oh, and I love herbs for so many things. It’s hard to list them. They make my skin feel good in products. Anice cup of tea warms the stress right out of me. I think one of the most relaxing things about them is that I don’t have to feel guilty about what I’m putting on my skin, or smelling, or eating. They are natural and safe for my body and my kids.
This is so wonderful, I shared on facebook

Sitz Bath! Little bathes for the hoochie with relaxing, soothing herbs for the nether regions…
Blogged your info! http://travelindennens.blogspot.com/2010/12/mountain-rose-giveaway.html
I love herbal teas to help me relax. Recently I’ve found that a lavender body wash is also a great way to calm and soothe in the shower, and lavender linen spray on my pillow is the best at bedtime.
I like using eucalyptus spearmint on a regular basis from soaking in a bath using bath salts or using a lotion to help ease the stress.

We use kava oil as a massage oil. Helps to relax those uptight muscles. My daughter also made a massage oil out of your arnica. we have used the arnica oil and kava oil on my 3 yr old grandson who had a rod placed in his arm to correct a disformity. He loves his oils, it seems to help take away alot of pain!

Well, we not only need to relax “after” the holidays, but during the holidays! This is a lovely set for relaxation. Rose has so many properties for so many different things! One of them is relaxation. Rose really soothes the soul in the dead of winter. Happy Herbing everyone!
Sipping my own blend of chamomile, mint, catnip, lemon balm and stevia tea is how I relax after the holidays (truth be told, before and after the holidays too!)

This is a wonderful gift to win!

My favourite thing to unwind on cold winter nights here in northern Canada is to make a warm herbal bath consisting of rich lavender, rose petals and chamomile blossoms, (the scents remind me of summer!). A homemade mudpack using French green clay mixed with some honey, and a cup of organic spearmint and peppermint tea complete the spa treatment.
A relaxing and rejuvenating experience!
I love to stuff some of my favorite herbs like lavender, rose buds, and chamomile in a muslin bag and run hot water over it for my bath. I love herbal baths! They help to relax and unwind after stressful days and especially around the holidays!
I have been a subscriber to your blog for a few months now!
A tea made of fresh ginger, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, peppercorns, fenugreek and cardamom with a bit of lemon and honey resurrects me from any condition. Just opening my cupboard with herbs and spices and sniffing that blend of aromas relaxes me instantly…

My newest homemade soap recipe was with dried rose hips and rose essential oil. It is one of my favorite scents – especially great to use in a bath and can be so luxuriating and relaxing (especially if you add a little lavender.)
I love herbal tea all the time, but especially in the evenings. I hate cold weather, and it really warms me up.
I make tea i call flowers, from herbs taht I grow in my garden. lemon balm, chamomile, mexican marigold, calendula, red clover, stevia. It really works and tastes delicious!
I’ve never used herbs to relax before. I guess I don’t normally stress out too much. If anything I like to cuddle on the couch with hubby while watching a movie – sometimes with a cup of tea in hand.

I use my herbal teas to help me relax, also use several different essential oils in the shower steam.
I use an essential oil diffuser with lavender oil to help me relax
I relax with herbs by sleeping with lavender in my pillowcase and steaming my house with rosemary from my yard on the stove top, which makes the house smell nice and cleans the air during winter time when I can’t open my doors or windows as much.
Herbs have been a part of my life for a very short time now, and have been learning how to try to use them to help me relax and feel better. I love making my own lip balm and lotions. I can’t wait to try and learn more
I take a long hot bath.
Some herbal tea and a nice scented bath are the best way to relax.

Lavender is my favorite herb to relax with, adding it to a hot bath, AND also mixing it with some earl grey tea… yummy!
I enjoy ginger tea after all the wonderful foods and flavors of the season. Nettle tea helps too with aches after playing with my grandkids. I love experimenting with cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla for the perfect chai combinations and nothing beats fidnemed nighttime to get a good nights sleep to wake up fresh to do it all again!

I am a subscriber and I have just started learning about herbs and experimenting with making my own lotions. I do enjoy chamomile tea before bed to help me relax.
I have always been attracted to the natural solution for common ailments. I recently found a local natural foods store near my town and was relieved to finally have an outlet for all my needs and desires for herbs and tinctures. Kava Gold is amazing in tincture form and for the little ones special recipe calming homepathics are great. Thank you to all the devoted herbalists and families carrying on the traditions from the past! Nature is a gift and a cure for the times when we stray too far from her. <3

Taking a nice HOT bath, so this gift is just right! Thanks so much!
I love to relax by taking a nice warm bath with bath fizzies that I made with lavendar flowers and rose petals, or the ones I made with mint, while sipping on some nice herbal tea. I think that would relax anyone after the stress of the holidays!

Hi there, so last week came my huge order in and I was able to create awesome lipbalm and hand salve and mixed my own tea out of various dried herbes and spices including red clover. I will order more and nettle soon as it was out again. Great quality all of the products and how it was packed.
Lavender smells lovely!
The rose products look great I’d love to get the rose facial cream,thanks for counting me in and Merry Christmas

fidnemed nighttime is wonderful after a day of running around trying to get things done after work. I look forward to the long, dark nights sipping tea in front of the fire. There is no better combination. Also ginger water, ginger tea and ginger snaps are perfect to settle the tummy all day long.
I relax with herbs after the holidays in so many ways. I love sitting back with Kava tea…and having the scent of lavender in my home.
A bath with intoxicating mix of ylang ylang and lavender oils. Indirectly, it relaxes me this year to know that I get to gift some homemade lotion made with herbal infused oils.

Rosemary and thyme in any food is like comfort food to me, that’s relaxing. I also like any kind of herbal tea to chill out.

Lately I’ve been getting relaxation from a hydrosol I got from Mountain Rose Herbs, helichrysum. So refreshing, relaxing, and renewing.
herbs help me relax because they actually urge me to focus on my own well being. I nurture myself with some tea, pamper my skin with masks, and oils. And I just focus on giving myself the gift of attention using herbs.!!! Cheers!

I’ve been crafting all week with MRH products! I have a 15 year old buddy whose dad died unexpectedly just before TG. His mom has to work of course, and he’s out of school for vacation. I’ve spend the week with him and we have kept busy crafting presents for his mom and sisters, playing games, watching movies, going out to lunch and just Keeping our minds and hands occupied.
We’ve made fizzy bath tarts, fizzy bath chocolates (shaped like candy, in candy papers in an old heart shaped candy box), scented body oil, bath salts, herbal mouth wash and tooth powder, and lip balm/salves. I even showed him how to make milk thistle tincture. All with MRH products. We’ve had such a great time learning new things, watching the MRH you tube, how-to videos and just having fun.

I tweeted about the MRH giveaway.
I made my very own blend of bath salts using the recipe from HerbMentor.com and Mountain Rose Herbs. I purchased everything I needed from Mountain Rose Herbs. I used a blend of three essential oils that would help relax and relieve the pain I suffer from with fibromyalgia and chronic acute back pain. I used nutmeg essential oil for it’s antispasmodic, antirheumatic, and analgesic properties; tangerine essential oil for its antispasmodic, calmative and sedative properties; and finally I chose MRH’s lavender essential oil to round out the therapeutic value of analgesic, antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory actions among others.
I have used these bath salts several times per week and love them. I run a nicely warm/hot bath and place my salts in the tub after the water is run so as not to lose the benefits of the essential oils. I then light several candles, put on some relaxing music and turn out the lights and thus I can totally relax.
I love the purity of the MRH products and trust them to make my own blends. I can’t wait to try the rose facial wash, toner, facial scrub and relaxing bath salts and will be placing an order for these items as my budget allows.

I relax with time off and lots of herbal tea.
I don’t even know where to start…The holiday season is a very hard one for us this year. Any help in the relaxation department would be greatly appreciated. But even with out a prize drawing we need to be reminded to cherish each moment with our loved ones and not to take one moment for granted. And our memories are what we are allowed to take with us long after the loved ones are gone.
I relax by going out for a massage and then spending the afternoon at the local tea shop!

Herbs are the ONLY way to relax after the stress of the holidays.
I am using MRH herbs and herbal products to heal from the inside out.
I have posted on facebook. Cheryl Hayes Gassen
I make a tea of Peppermint, Elder Berries, Elder Flowers, Cat Mint, Boneset, Lobelia, Red Raspberry etc. It keeps my immune system & healing system in order after being out and about. And hot tea is sooo nice. Lavender, chamomile, rose, etc. make a good pillow stuffer (in your little muslin sacks)for relaxing and a good night’s sleep. Nothing like a warm, sweet smelling bed. Also I use essential oils in the vaporizer and in lotions and oils for hair and skin that I enjoy thoroughly. A mild, pleasant whiff of smelly while shopping or working that doesn’t irritate. Herbs are full of MMmmmmmmmm’s.
Ps. I have posted on facebook.
I find that at the end of a hectic day, nothing relaxes me more than to sip a hot cup of herbal tea, while soaking in an herb infused bath imbued with a bit lavender oil. I get my candles lit, get some soothing music playing, and before I know it, all the day’s stress has left me and I can fall into a peaceful, restful slumber!
Relaxing would be so wonderful. You forget what it feels like to wind down this time of year.
Oh, the multitude of joy I experience using herbal body care, & essential oils! I would not be who I am if I didn’t delve into learning the many possibilities of healing that takes place using herbs, essential oils, & bath salts. Thank you MRH for creating this Giveaway! I will share this Giveaway on Facebook now, too!
I also wanted to say that my husband and I love the powdered dehydrated veggies and green grasses. We use them to make out green food that is put in apple juice each morning for our “power drink”! We found you on facebook.

I’m planning a relaxing bath with an oatmeal sachet and lavender essential oil, maybe a drop of marjoram or rosemary too. And I might not even wait until AFTER the holidays before I indulge in it!
I relax with a nice cup of homemade Chai tea, or mix some of the herbs I’ve wildcrafted, sweetened with herb infused honey.
I posted on FB! Love my herbs!
I love a long, leisure bath – had a huge, deep tub that I would fill hot water, add dead sea salts, scent with my favorite eo’s depending on whether I needed to relax, relieve achy muscles, slather on my dead sea mud facial concoction grab a good book, slide on down into the water & enjoy
Herbal tinctures and teas help me relax ALL during the holidays……..not just after:)….Lavender is my favorite!……I even use Cedarwood oil in my Eureka Steam mop while cleaning for a fresh relaxing smell all through the home….
I’ve subscribed! Thanks for the great products! I use peppermint tea for migraines and tummy problems – drinking a cup a day has lessened the headaches! There’s so much/many more, but not the time or space here ;o)

After the holidays I always look to herbs for unwinding from the faster pace of this time of year. Drinking certain herb teas, adding herbs to baths, and even utilizing them more in my new years resolutions to become healthier and happier are ways I plan to improve my life as a whole in 2011.
Hi, Happy Holidays to all at Mountain Rose Herbs:)I posted your link on my Facebook profile page. Would love to relax after the holidays with Mountain Rose herbal bath products
I will take a long hot bath with epsom salt and ylang ylang essential oils, both of which are available through Mountain Rose Herbs.

I’m making infused calendula and infused chamomile oils now. I’m also making an air cleanse for the stale winter air in the house. Just opening the EO bottles and smelling puts a smile on my face. I could do this for hours (and sometimes do).
Every night I add a few drops of essential oils to water in my humidifier medicine cup, usually lavender, sometimes peppermint. And I swear by the Relaxing bath salts, they are wonderful!!

My fav way to relax at the end of a long day is cinnamon milk with orange blossom honey.

I can see my husband and I soaking in the tub together after Christmas. What a great way to relieve the stress of a busy season. After overindulging on goodies and being stressed with the holidays, my skin needs a little TLC. This would be a great gift for it!
herbs are very helpful in relaxation especially after a very long day…i love to use lavender essential oil in my bath….it rejuvenates my senses…
My favorite way to use herbs, other than in my tea, is to take a long soak in the tub with my favorite herbal bath salt of sea salt with lavender and rose petals. Then before I get out of the tub, I scrub down lightly with sea salt to cleanse and abrade off old skin and toxins that have clung to me. I feel so much more grounded and like a new person when I rinse and step out.
I love to take a warm shower using peppermint soap. No better way to unwind for me.
Using herbs to create new products always helps me to relax. It will be a great time to get back to the lab after the holidays.
ooh, that looks heavenly. Nothing like a wonderful herbal soak in the tub with some nice hot tea.
I shared you FB site on my wall with my friends,I also made Christmas gifts with your supplies
I use herbs (chamomile tea) to help my children sleep and be calm. We use herbs daily in our home… And now my mom is using herbs to recover from a stroke! Lavender essential oil on the pillows has helped my children rest.

I am planning to relax after the holidays with a cup of herbal coffee.
I posted to FB.
My favorite way to de-stress during the holidays or other times is to drink a lovely mixture of rooibos, honeybush, and lavender tea (thanks to MRH for providing the quality ingredients). I also like to give myself a facial treatment with an herbal steaming, clay mask, and rose water toner. This is particularly lovely after a long hard day in the mud and muck outside… and also helps me feel a bit more like a lady after swimming in raingear in the PNW all winter.
I also posted on Facebook.
I drink a combination of chamomial & lavender teas…. not only after, but during the holidays. Helps me to not get so stressed. Very soothing & comforting.
I have been learning to make my own bath and body products and would love to try these products made from experienced makers. Essential oils are great for relaxing and I love to use flower petals with salt in my baths.

I make a warm bath with epsom salts and various essential oils. I love rose. Lavender is a close second. I like to lie in the warm water and just breathe. I’m a subscriber to your blog! The giveaway is fabulous.
I just became a subscriber to your blog! I use many of your products to relax. One of my favorites is lavendar essential oil – I massage a few drops on the soles of my feet just before I go to bed for instant sleep!
Thank you Mountain Rose Herbs. You are a blessing. I relax at the holidays and throughout the year with a warm cup of herbal tea and soothing herbal scented lotions for my sore muscles.

I love making bath salts with lavender and ylang ylang essential oils. Soaking in my old clawfoot tub and drinking chai tea is like heaven ; )
I always love a cup of tea in the evening that helps me relax. It also keeps me from eating late night left over sweets after the holidays. Which in turn helps me not stress over gaining weight!!
Herbs help me unwind after the craziness of the holidays over with soothing chamomile tea and also natural lavender bath and lotion products to assist me with sleeping.
I have already subscribed to your blog. I enjoy using my lavender herb pillow during a nap, as well as putting lavender or eucalyptus in my bath water.
Love this giveaway because one of my favorite ways to relax is in a warm bath with bath salts.

Wow, who couldn’t use some pampering after the holidays? If I’m lucky enough to win this, I’m sharing it with my husband (a UPS man). A hot soak in those herbal bath salts is just what he needs after the Christmas crush!
My favorite herbal relaxation comes in the form of tea, and this time of year it’s either Winter Spice (awesome stuff!) or Fidnemed, or Fairytale, Evening Repose or Easy Day with some fresh grated ginger brewed along with with them.
Happy holidays!

I’ve shared your Week 4 Giveaway on Facebook.
I love your Rose Skin cream and Rose Facial wash.
Nothing is better than a nice sugar or salt scrub infused with almond, coconut or jojoba oil right before a warm bath. It gets rid of the dryness all over your body. I do not know about you but my skin could use a good exfoliation, soak and hydrate!

To relax, I soak in a hot bath with epsom salts infused with lavender and ylang ylang essential oils, followed by a facial steam with calendula, roses, and chamomile.

I love the way that herbs relax and soothe me in such a myriad of ways. Whether it’s the pleasure I get from indulging in a comforting soothing cup of peppermint and nettle tea with honey on a cold winters day, the scent of essential oils from my candlelit burner wafting around me and my home soothing and relaxing my senses, or a relaxing massage with St Johns wort herbal infused oil with a few drops of lavender after a busy day- mother nature is simply beautiful!
I will relax after the holidays by sipping a tea made with hops, hibiscus, and lavender.

Epsom salt bath and chamomile tea helps me to relax. If I won this gift set, I would be in heaven!
I just subscribed! I keep chamomile tea close by to help me relax
After the holiday’s I like to stay festive and relax with a warm cup of mint tea and a good book. The mint adds that little zing of flavor to help me soothe my holiday frazzled nerves =)
I share on Facebook so everyone would know how awesome you are! As a LMT I think these products are a necessity for winter time relaxation and hydration of the skin.
I love a nice warm bath of herbal tea and bath flowers. Lit candles, soft music playing on my ipod, and a few drops of essential oils added to the herbal bath tea. To finish this awesome bath off before getting out a light rub of flax,olive,macadamia nut or (what ever I have on hand that is organic) oil before getting out.(My skin is real dry and itchy in the winter due to a medical condition, so I like to use my oils at the end of my bath some like it at the beginning.)I use only organic ingredients to make my bath tonics and potions which are ordered through Mountain Rose Herbs.

Nothing like some lavender in your pillow at night to help you sleep. A pot of chamomile tea and a soaking bath of epsom salts infused with lavender prior to really let the stress go.
I warm cup of herbal tea and putting my feet up after cooking all day helps me to relax. Maybe a hot bath with lavender right before bed.

I am new to this blog thing, but I just subscribed and I think I posted it on my facebook wall as well.
Spritzing my pillow with lavender/vanilla is a great relaxing, sleep inducer. And nothing beats a good massage with lavender infused sunflower oil.
I have some bath teas I made this summer from herbs in my garden so I take a relaxing bath.
Thanks for the contest.

I have been making a lot of bath products for my friends and family this year which has been a lot of fun. But to relax, I do enjoy taking a nice hot bath with lavendar and salts. Its very relaxing.
I am already a subscriber. I also like to scent my handmade soaps with essential oils. I love rosewood or Lavender/Ylang Ylang!
I relax with lots of tea and a good book (that is, until the kids start screaming!)
I love the scent of herbs for relaxing and would love to add them to a nice warm bath!

Ah how can anything herbal not reduce my stress, even if it is meant to awaken my senses? Even just the thought of herbs lowers my pulse, relaxes my breathing, calms my nerves. Let me get a whiff of orange or lavendar, a sip of chamomile or a touch of a sage leaf and I am transported to a quieter, gentler place. Sigh..I reconnect with nature ahhhh….
Relaxing? Who can do that? Lol… This giveaway is FOR ME! I do spend a lot of time in the bath, with whatever bath salts or essential oils are available. I do have Roman Chamomile, and Lavender. LOVE rose scents.

I relax with bath salts/essential oils and peppermint tea
I just registered, and I love this website!
I just posted to facebook twice about MRH and this fabulous giveaway. Thank you MRH for your generosity this holiday season!
A wonderful hot soak is great for the fibromyalgia and acute/chronic back pain that I suffer on a regular basis. I run a hot bath, toss in a few handfuls of therapeutic bath salts, like those I made with lavender, nutmeg and tangerine for pain and relaxation. I ordered the majority of my products to make the bath salts from MRH, I already had the nutmeg and tangerine essential oils on hand.
I guess I should have been more clear. I posted to my wall in facebook and then to MRH’s facebook page as well.
As the wife of an all-natural farmer and the busy mommy of one with the second on the way, I don’t tend to have a lot of time to relax. However, at this point, one of my favorite ways to do so is with a steamy hot cup of herbal tea – particularily a mint tea!

Hot ginger tea, or mint tea, or even combined. I love to boil ginger and drink the water in tea or add it to ginger ale.
Wouldn’t this be fabulous to win? I just subscribed to the blog and am enjoying looking around…..I’m loving all of the “recipes” for body care items!
