Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Dear Herbalists, I would like to pass on a great idea from Lorrie on another list:- During cold season, no citrus peel is composted before spending a day in our uncovered crockpot in hot water, surrendering its essential oil to our shared airspace. We usually add eucalyptus in some form as well. These aromas deactivate/kill airborne germs and viruses, so we end up sharing fewer colds among the family or from visitors or friends. It is also a refreshing scent for cooped up winter blahs. The reason for using the crockpot is for greater volume of moisture in the dry heated air, with fewer refills required than for vaporizers or humidifiers............Love Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 What a wonderful idea. Really have to drag out that crockpot now- I always hated putting the good smelling peels in the pail. Now a good use- thank you. JuneFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1. Natural methods can sometimes backfire. 2.
