Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 In the past I used spent herbs(once re dried) in a herb diffuser. If you don't know, those consist of two pots one you put the herb/s in, the other beneath is a steamer heated by a candle. The damp air draws through the herbs and with the right blend gives a more subtle and gentle aroma than using essential oils. It is particularly suited to spent herbs where weak alcohol leaves a lot of essential oil and fragrance constituents behind in the staring herb. Most aromatic herbs need around 90% alcohol for maximum extraction, but many tinctures only use around 40-60%, so a lot of the goodies remain in the plants.
