Glad you liked the oils and hydrosols! I've got a big cast iron out door bathtub I built. I generally like to add Epsom salts as well as one of my hydrosols to the bath. Cottonwood, Doug fir, red cedar, these are my favorites, peppermint is super stimulating and nice, lavender of coarse... Adding hydrosols to your bath are amazing....... Great post!

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:47:07 +0000 http://www.goldrootherbs.com/?p=1545#comment-920 Thanks for the correction Mirko. You're right, it's only in a 2009 edition where Gordon Miller writes at length about it in the introduction. This edition also has a lot of notes connecting Goethe's observations back to the Urpflanze. I stand corrected and will edit the post accordingly. Thanks for the correction Mirko.
