A ONE-of-a-kind organic cosmetic farm has relocated from its Lydiate home to grander premises in Rainford. Phytobotanica, the country’s first organic lavender farm, is one of West Lancs’ best kept secrets, selling a witch’s brew of pure and organic mixtures from a little shop. The business is the brainchild of Dr Jane Collins, a Lydiate farmer, who began to research essential oil plants as non-food crops.

my sister in Virginia would like some as she ran out and can’t find them anywhere.

I can’t tell you. Ancient Chinese secret.

What can I wash my face with that’s cheaper than a cleanser?

Shower gel could really dry out your face, and fragrances tend to be irritants, using it could cause your face to be red and blotchy, i wouldn’t recommend using it.

Yesterday I read about a cosmetologist mom that I believe uses lavender essential oil mixed with water as a rinse after washing the hair. I didn’t print it off to get all the details and now I cannot find it. I have a 5 year old and the other things are so harsh on her little head. I think this might be a good preventative. Please help if you can. Thank you.

I haven’t heard anything about lavendar oil, but I SWEAR by Tea Tree Oil. My poor daughter was a magnet for head lice when she was younger. After someone recommended Tea Tree Oil, she never got it again. I would put a bunch of drops in a spray bottle with water and spary it in her hair when I was brushing it in the morning and at night. I would also use the shampoo with added oil to help me get rid of the lice, and use the shampoo for regular hair washes.

It works like a charm!

Also, it is NOT true that children who have poor personal hygene get lice. I have attached a link below for more info;

Good luck!

Pick lavender for drying when the flowers are in full bloom.

My English lavender doesn’t have any flowers yet, and the leaves are really aromatic. Can they be used instead of flowers to make lavender oil? And do they have any medicinal powers, or is it just the flowers?

People on my gardening list have spoken of using the leaves of lavender to make infusions, though they like the flowers better.

Go for it!

Because I am breastfeeding I prefer not to use any OTC medications. I have been looking into herbal remedies and have some questions about them.

"# Steam treatments:

* Boil a pot of water, remove from the stove and (optional) add a few drops of essential oils (for example: eucalyptus, sage and balsam). Drape a bath towel over your head and breathe deeply for 5 minutes. Do this 2 or 3x a day until symptoms subside.
* Put two inches of apple cider vinegar in a pan and heat until it begins to steam. Inhale the vapor. If the vapor is too strong, add a little water. Repeat as needed.

Drink hot lemonade with honey. Or make a mixture of one part lemon juice and two parts honey. Sip throughout the day."

I have Lavender Oil at home which is used for aromatherapy… would that work for the steam treatment and if not, what essential oil can I get at Wal-Mart since everything else is closed? Also, how much honey would I place in a cup of hot lemonade? And would hot apple cider be good or is that just not good enough?

The link suggests apple cider vinegar "Apple-cider vinegar and water gargle. Mix 1-6 teaspoons (1/3 – 2 tablespoons) vinegar in a glass of water; you can mix it as strong as you can stand it. Gargle one mouthful (swallow afterward or spit it out). Repeat twice. Do this every hour, or as needed. " but I’m not trying that crap lol I hate gargling.

I can tell you from personal experience that unrefined Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV so I don’t have to type it out next time haha) is amazing.
Make sure it’s unrefined ACV with the "mother". You can find it at health food stores. Whatever you do, do not put your face directly over a pot of hot ACV and inhale. It hurts. Just waft the vapors toward you. Also, you can mix 2 tsp. of ACV with a cup of hot water and honey to taste and drink it throughout the day. ACV enzymes kill viruses and bacteria and boost the immune system.
If you can’t get to some raw ACV, try grating about a half teaspoon of ginger into a mug of hot water and add a teaspoon of lemon juice and honey to taste. If you don’t have fresh ginger, use the dried stuff- about 1/8 tsp.
Good luck, hope you feel better.
