Pour 2 liters of boiling water over the herbs and leave it covered for 30 minutes, or heat it up so as not to bring it to a boil. Strain and pour the infusion into the bathtub. Put the herbs in a cloth bag, tie and immerse them in a bath filled to 1/3 with water at 37-38 degrees C. The bath should last 15-20 minutes.
