Head Colds and Soap

Sep 15, 2008 Published by Marr Williams

Over the weekend I came down with a terrible head code and sore throat and have drank enough tea with lemon and honey to float a boat in. It’s crazy how comforting something so simple can be. It smells nice, it tastes nice and the soothing heat does wonders for a sore throat. I want to make a lemon and honey tea soap. Does anyone have any ideas on how to scent it?

    I make a tea soap out of green tea and jasmine. I tend to sent it with a touch of white tea and ginger from Bramble berry and then I trough a bit of jasmine in. It is very refreshing and light I love the white tea and ginger. I have a couple of shop that carry my tea soaps and I get rave reviews on the scent.

    I think a simple lemon eo or fo would be lovely. Maybe with a touch of vanilla for the honey sweetness? What a great idea for a winter soap!

    1 part Lemon or Lemongrass EO
    2 parts White Tea & Ginger
    2 parts Oatmeal, Milk & Honey

    or

    Sorry about your cold, but I got a good chuckle at “head code”. Well said. :)

    Ooh, good suggestions from everyone!

    I hope you’re feeling better now. I just came down with a sore throat myself so I’m going to have some lemon and honey water myself.
