Skin-Tastic

Aromatic plants that open up a whole new world of crafts  and  real medical benefits— in the form of clearer heads, elevated moods, and strengthened immune systems— are the focus of this herbal handbook.  The easy-to-follow instructions  explain how to add essential oils extracted from herbs and flowers  to water in vaporizers,   melted wax  for  candles, and  oils for bathing and massage.  Herbal recipes include a bath of lavender, bergamot, and cedar  for winding down after a hard day at work;   the scents of geranium to ease nervousness;   and eucalyptus, hyssop, lavender,   or lemongrass for cold and cough relief.
