Ways you can enjoy aromatherapy plants in your own home

Pelargonium posy

For an authentic aromatherapy bouquet combine Geranium graveolens – the variety used in the production of essential oils for the perfume and cosmetics industry – with 'Grosso' lavender, the variety grown in Provence for essential oils.

Lavender bags

Dry a bunch of lavender by hanging upside down in a dry room. Remove the flowers and fill cotton or linen sachets, also adding in small pieces of toy stuffing to keep the bag plump, then sow up the bag securely. Hang from a bed or put in clothing drawers.
