oh, love essential oils!

my favourite:

- rose (sigh - so very expensive...only afford a weeny bit at a time)
- jasmine - oh, for the bath, the hair, the pillow
- ylang-ylang: another sensual delight
- lavender: my all-purpose. I make toner out of it.
- juniper: tonic!
- rosemary: lovely as hair rinse or for a wake-me-up bath or shower
- sandalwood: mainly to burn, though nice in the bath too
- cedar: those days I'm full of flegm
- mandarin: of all the citrus, my favourite

Carrying oils: sweet almond (often use that on its own as well), orange blossom, jojoba. When I've nothing else I use olive oil, which smells strong but is very good on stretch-marks.

Favourite book: my all-time old-timer, Maggie Tisserand - Aromatherapy for Women.
