Homemade Herbal Products and Herbal Smokeless Cigarettes

I made  these quick and easy body oils by combing essential oils, a carrier oil and (in one mixture) hot sesame. 

 Mix the carrier oil ( I used cold-pressed sesame oil) with a few drops of your selected essential oils and pour the mixture into a clean, sterile glass or ceramic container.  These are small quantities so I used clear glass but for larger quantities, I use amber or cobalt blue glass containers because the oils stay fresher in these containers as they block out extra light.

 This oil is for muscle aches.  It's a combination of peppermint and lavender essential oils with a few drops of hot sesame.

 Mix and match to create a favorite fragrance of your own for a simple body or massage oil or concentrate on the healing benefits of specific oils to develop healing oils for whatever ails you.

 I Also found these interesting smokeless herbal cigarettes at the local pharmacy.  I purchased two flavors, peppermint (for colds and flu) and a combination labeled, "relaxation". 

 
I've only tried the peppermint as curious friends, snapped up the others before I had a chance to try them.  They are pretty potent.  The peppermint was actually quite effective in opening my stuffy nose and soothing  my sore throat.  The cigarette lasts a long time if you replace the caps on both ends in between uses. 

 I found that once the  oils are depleted from the cigarettes, they can be refreshed by adding a few drops of essential oil to the filter.
