Almond-Rose Soap
2 tbsp. dried red rose petals
8 oz. pure soap flakes
2/3 cup boiling water
1/2 cup rosewater
2 tbsp. ground almonds
9 drops geranium essential oil
Pound the petals with a mortar and pestle. In a bowl, mix the soap, petals, and water and stir until smooth (if the soap starts to solidify, place the bowl over near-boiling water). Stir in the rosewater and ground almonds; leave to cool. Mix in the essential oil. Shape into 6 balls and flatten them slightly; allow the soap to harden between sheets of wax paper. Keep unused soap in a cool, dark place until needed.
"Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done."
Jim Rohn
Chamomile is another oil/herb known to aid relaxation. A warm bath with chamomile oil and lavender oil mixed with sweet almond oil, and sipping on a cup of chamomile tea does wonders.....
