Love learning about this side of plants, herbs especially.
So, which are for help getting a job? Put all the money ones in a sachet and carry that around? Maybe that will win me the lotto instead!
Any comparison between herbs and essential oils as far as properties? I make my own aromatherapy treatments, so I have always wondered if there are similarities between the oils and the herbs.
Thanks,
Kelly
