4 drops each Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender essential oils
Chop soap base into small chunks and melt in microwave at 15 second intervals. Swirl soap to move melted chunks and return to the microwave.Repeat for 1.5 minutes or until the soap is melted, but NOT
bubbly. Allow the soap to cool for 1 minute and slowly fold in remaining ingredients (except ground leaves) until well blended. Cool and allow the soap to thicken slightly to suspend leaves ... or they will float. Ladel soap in to 2 4 oz soap molds. Allow to harden 2 hours and move to the freezer for 30 minutes. Pop out and bring to room temperature. Move to plastic container or bags to maintain fragrance.
I use these bars in the shower with the steam to allow the vapors help to relieve tension, common and sinus headaches. The peppermint is also soothing when headache is accompanied with nausea.

"The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings."
David Weinbaum
Capsules are the best way to take herbs that do not taste good. They are also the best way to take herbs that need to be ingested over a long period of time, or for those of us who don't have time at work to make herbal teas. It is best to purchase finely powdered herbs for this purpose. The small "0" sized capsules are used, or the larger "00". The powdered herbs are blended together, if an herbal combination is desired. Then separate the two halves of the capsule, and fill each half. Then carefully put the two halves back together. Take according to the needs of the treatment.
