When you say "make tea" with herbs...how? would love to use my own herbs for medicinal purposes as well as decorative!

It is marvellous, there are so many good things and plants in the world . We must try to preserve them and live with them every day. (France)

Last summer I made Lavender bags:
Firstly I wrapped the Lavender in newspaper and kept it in a dark, dry place for a week or two ( an airing cupboard is ideal)
Then I made some little bags (cotton or muslin would be perfect as they are natural)
I have placed one by my bed and all I have to do is crush them slightly to release the soothing fragrance...
They really help x

Great article! I have used feverfew for headaches and often use lavender oil for stress relief at bed time - sprinkle a few drops of essential oil on the pillow or in the bath. (you can also use crushed flowers) It also is a useful antiseptic for those of us with sensitive skin or allergies. not keen on the camomile tea (smells like cat wee!) but it does work.

When my children were small they often suffered with sore throats. I found that gargling with an infusion of sage leaves helped ease the soreness.

Having real trouble logging in even though I use the same email and log in!
I saved another article in my scrapbook- Monty's favourite fruit- and found the link was broken. Have now found the article and saved it to Evernote.
I will probably stop using login able part of the site for these reasons - and I am a seasoned surfer.
