Making home herb aromatherapies

An easy way to get the essence of the lavender is to take glass jar (any size will do) and fill it with as much lavender as you can. The most fragrant parts will work the best, but the essence is pretty much in the whole plant. After the jar is full, you can either pour alcohol (vodka is the cheapest) or distilled water over the lavender until the jar is full. Let this sit for a few weeks, shaking gently once in a while. Then, strain the liquid out into another dark container. Your fragrant essence should be just right and it will only take a few drops to give you the scent you desire in the bathwater.

Wow, thanks Reci, sounds interesting. Wonder if it would work if you are making Bath Salts or something like that.
