I love all mint varieties and lavender. I even love the two combined in teas or bath soaks- Anything really. There are so many herbs to choose from though; it is hard to pick a favorite!

Kristine - I do believe that the peppermint-basil-rosemary and cold/hot combination staved off a migraine yesterday. I had to take it really easy for the first part of yesterday and just pamper myself that way, but it WORKED!!! THANK YOU!!! I get a little suspicious of my prescription migraine medicine, and I am thrilled to find an alternative.
XOXO, Libbie

Miss Bee Haven, are you out there? I would love the comfrey lotion recipe too. I have a ton of it growing in my flower bed and I really need to learn how to use it. Speaking of flowers, some of my favorite herbal remedies are flower essences. Does anyone else here subscribe to them? They work on a more etheric or emotional level rather than physical, but I swear by them for myself. After caring for someone who was dying of breast cancer, the trauma, stress, and grief of it all demolished my immune system. I developed alopecia and didn't know what to do. Flower essences were part of the solution for me. One of my favorites is self-heal.

OK, add me to the list of Lavender lovers....
It's great for cooking, I use it in Creme Brulee and Cheese Cake. I also steep it with Pineapple Sage leaves for a summery lite tausane (herbal tea). (P. Sage is very easy to grow).
I also steep it in distilled water, strain it 2-3 times through cheese cloth, put it in a small spray bottle & use it as a freshing body spray. I also use it on my kitchen counter when wiping the counter clean. Keep unused portion in the fride up to 7 days & toss any unused after that. Lavender in EO may be a bit expensive, but it goes a long way and I truly belive in buying the best quality lavender E.O. you can afford. Not the cheap chemacaly laden knock offs.
I have a 6' wide buy 5' deep section in my garden with the most heavenly lavender bushes. But best of all, I have the most happiest & busyist bees in Moorpark. They love my lavender too!.
P.S., if you decide to grow your own lavender, please don't use pesticides or chemicals on or around it. Remember, Healty is as Healty does.

The only thing I really do is make my own chamomile tea infusions, and put crumbled fresh rosemary in the bath for sore muscles and body aches (it also smells sooo pretty!).
