Heavenly Herbal Combinations

I am a great believer in the healing power of herbal blends (not that bogus new age pseudo-aromatherapy crap shoved up our noses daily by perky actress/models on infomercials). We respond to smells on an emotional level; an aroma can trigger a whole string of forgotten memories thanks to our olfactory nerves which are located within the nasal cavity. The area of the brain associated with smell is the same area as that associated with memory. Aromas can trigger all sorts of chemical actions and reactions within the body and because the olfactory nerves are a direct extension of the brain's limbic system, reactions to aromas are relayed immediately.

Anyway, enough ranting. here are some of my favorite mixes of essential oils:

Rosewater and Saffron
Anise and Vetiver
Rosemary and Mint
Lavender and Mint
Lavender and Orange
OakMoss and Cubeb



Tobacco Flower all by itself. Ahhh...
