FLOWER BATH

Bathing with saltwater is a good way to rid one self of negative energies that have accumulated in our bodies. Besides salt, one can also try using flowers, preferably 7-types of different colours.
Below are two different ways of using flowers to bathe:

Life Giving Flower Bath
If you're feeling sick, emotionally down, or tired, you might try a 'life giving' flower bath. The flowers you use for this type of bath cannot be dried because dried flowers are dead flowers. When you are not feeling well your body needs life giving energy. You can use flowers from your own garden or you can buy them from a florist or wherever you can get some fresh cut flowers.
Select one flower for every color of the rainbow. It doesn't matter what type of flower it is and it does not need to have a fragrance. The reason that different colored flowers are used is because in Tibetan Buddhism it is believed that each color carries a specific energy or vibration. Healing using colors is 'supplementary' to other types of healing.Run your bath water. You can add whatever other ingredients you desire into your bath. Now, you can place the flowers in your bath water with their stems on; or, you can pull off the petals and place only the petals in the water. I like to place the flower petals in my bath while the bath water is running but I don't place them direction under the water. Instead I just sprinkle them around the entire tub. It's really beautiful when you do this.To be effective, you must leave the flowers in the water for no less than 15 minutes BEFORE you get into the bath. After the 15 minutes, you need to completely soak yourself and stay in the water for no less than 15 minutes. (You can even try soaking your head in the water.) After the 15 minutes are up you can remain in your flower bath for longer if you like or you can get out.But the next step is to take a cool shower. It doesn't matter if you use soap or any other products in your shower. What you're doing by taking the shower is creating a small amount of negative ions that will also help to elevate your mood. This flower bath is more than just your conscious or unconscious intention of wanting it to make yourself feel better. It actually will help to heal you.

POWER BATH
For a bath using flower power, you will need fresh flowers as they are excellent to cleanse away bad energy and usher in wealth luck. This is because the energy of a plant is all concentrated in its flower. A flower plant keeps absorbing water and earth energy from the ground through its roots, and absorbs heaven energy from the sky through its leaves with the main purpose to produce flowers as its end result. When the flower blossoms, it is also exposed to attract only the good energy from the environment.
You must get 7 types of colourful fresh flowers. Don't use dried or sorry looking flowers. If possible, try not to use white flowers. Only the flowers are needed, so remove the stems, leaves and branches. You then need to place them in a pail of clean water. If you can, try to place inside the pail also the 5 Element Crystals. Crystal helps to act as a catalyst to kick off energy vibes in the water. Then put the pail of flower water under the sun for at least an hour to absorb the yang energy. It is believed that bathing with crystal-energized water daily basis can bring good luck. Bathe with the water together with the flowers from head to toe. Don't scoop the crystals out while bathing because they can be reused again the next time. Make sure not to break the crystals as they are no good anymore if broken. In the case of the flowers, they have to be scooped together with water and have them flow along your body. It will help to draw out the bad energy from your body. Remember not to step on the flowers after bathing. Pick them up with gloves or a plastic bag and throw them away. The act of throwing away the flowers is akin to throwing away your bad luck. If you feel that you have been particularly unlucky, then try bathing every day or at alternate weeks till you feel that you luck has improved.
