Old Fashioned Mustard Bath

• 1 cup baking soda*
• 1/4 cup mustard powder***
• 1 small flotilla of get-well rubber ducks (optional) ****

1. In a small bowl, add the mustard powder and baking soda.
2. Mix well and store in a covered container.
3. You can add a few drops of some essential oils if desired.
4. Draw a hot bath.
5. Make it as hot as you can stand.
6. Add 4 tablespoons of the mustard bath and let completely dissolve.
7. Immerse yourself in the bath for 20 minutes.
8. Notes: * The baking soda does not provide any therapeutic benefit from what I can tell.
9. It's sole purpose is to balance the ph of the bath water.
10. Without it, the mustard would irritate or even blister your skin.
11. **While I have broke low grade fevers with this mustard bath, I would never use it for a high temp fever.
12. ***I use Coleman's mustard powder.
13. **** Get-well rubber ducks provided by my daughter.
