I used the mint

[Guest]

The spear mint eo is actually overpowering the rosemary eo. I wish I hadn't followed the instructions on rainbow meadow which said 3 parts spearmint to 2 rosemary.

Good news

Over 6 weeks and they're still green. No brownness/rancidity has occured.

Soap for Breakfast, these are gorgeous! The green and pale pink really look nice together. Where do you find yellow dock root powder? Bnky

Good old eBay.


The smell has calmed down a bit but it's still very much there. I used a piece already and I'm so pleased with it.

Do you suppose boiling would work for most vegetable matter to preserve it's natural color?

FYI- I got my yellow dock root at Sprouts (a farmer's market-y type grocery store)... they'd probably have it in the natural section of grocery stores or at health food stores.

It's supposed to work for parsley which I tried until the smell put me off. I threw it in the bin. I'm not sure about other veg.

Some people are lucky to have YDR growing in their neighbourhood. Not me though.

so it's been a while since you made this, is the color still holding true?

I think the soap is fabulous! So you boil it all not or just put boiling water over it and let is sit all night? BTW does anyone have a "scientific" explanation as to why this works?

I really like the pink star in the middle.
