Are Sweet Peas Aromatherapy?

Howdy Christina,

Hey Butch,

Wasn't my intent to do that .. was my intent to show that the point I made

is not really acceptable to me. ;-)

If Horse Dung Hydrosol can be therapeutic .. I reckon JD Black can be.

Both are likely to begin as Uppers and conclude as Downers. ;-)

You are most likely talking about Emotional therapeutic value .. if you had

been raised with ONLY fake Christmas trees odds are good that having one now

would bring back great memories of old times .. like the New York Cowboy and

his Horse Dung Hydrosol.

I'll point out that those who have claimed physical therapeutic gain from

Pine forests and such are experiencing a normal situation .. many evergreen

oils have great therapeutic properties .. even though Pine Forests are one

of the major sources of air pollution in the entire world.

And to you .. rain is slowing down a bit now so pretty soon I'll be going

outside for a bit of Aromatherapy. I love the smell of trees and plants

after a rain .. I even love the odor of my compost pile when its wet. Dang

shame we can't distill compost piles and come up with a usuable therapeutic

oil. ;-)

Y'all keep smiling. :-)
