Guest guest Posted May 12, 2000 Report Share Posted May 12, 2000 Carol, Some of the more commonly used plants for soaping are: Lavender, (you would need severeal plants to get enough lavender, maybe 6 min. unless they produce very well where you live), Calendula, Chamomile, mints (these can be invasive " garden bullies), Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, That would be a good starting, place. If you are into making balms and salves, yarrow and self heal are also good herbs. Some use fennell, and marshmellow root is wonderful in soap and creams for problem skin. Marshmellow cannot be harvested until the 2nd year. Sherry in Aberdeen introduction >Hi All, > >I thought it was about time I introduced myself.

At least you are looking on the bright side by being able to spend so much time with your children. I think that fibromyalgia runs in a family My daughter has it but she is still able to keep going. She has twin daughters (age 14) and I think one of them has it still. Welcome to the list. We are a good support team and can be a comfort group if and when you need one. Take care, Irene > .
