CHAMOMILE LOTION – DO IT EASY ZERO WASTE
Chamomile lotion or small multifunctional helper? I’ve been dreaming for a long time that I will grow herbs someday. And try to make some healing ointments. Due to frequent moving, my cultivation is still mostly imagination. Gradually, however, I move where my heart is pulling me.
A few days ago in the whole food shop, I beheld dried chamomiles. I got beeswax on the farmers market. Honest, right from the beekeeper. And how it smells! Olive oil prepared. Experiments could begin.
