Store your aromatic herbal honey Ginger Honey This is a very simple and enjoyable herbal honey. It is a winter staple and can be used in many other recipes. Purchase organic, fresh ginger root at your local produce store. Peel off the skin and slice to approximately 1 /8 inch in thickness. Add these fresh ginger slices to your honey in a ratio of 1 cup of ginger slices for every 2 cups of honey. The honey will absorb the flavor and the benefits of the ginger after sitting for 24–48 hours, and the ginger slices can then be strained out if desired. Use ginger honey in tea, hot lemon water, or any other recipe where honey is used. Spa Baking with Lavender Why not welcome your clients with a scented home- baked cookie while they complete their intake forms? Lavender is one of the most popular spa scents, but many do not realize that this beautifully scented herb is edible and can easily be added to many recipes. It is especially good in banana bread, cookies, honey, and tea. Grind it first, using a clean coffee grinder that has not been used for coffee. Lavender is calming and sedative, and relieves anxiety, depression, and exhaustion. It also aids digestion and is a natural antiseptic and antibiotic.

Herbal Teas Root herbs, honey, and spices are all used in tea to warm the body, boost the immune system, and support the lungs and respiratory system. You may have considered creating an herb and spice tea bar for client use, but don't forget that all of these teas can be used equally well to create a wonderful aroma in your treatment room. Simply blend and diffuse aromatic herbs in your room by steeping them in hot water. The different aromas can clear negative energy, create a reflective mood, or inspire whatever kind of energy you wish to add to your atmosphere. Image courtesy of Bertaut Beauty
