cornflower矢車菊

在我能量很平衡,感到很愛的日子,浸了一大支cornflower的浸泡油....cornflower嘛....藍藍紫紫咁的色架,等佢"成熟"就可以放入高氏按摩時用了~~

小o問我有沒有沖茶來喝....我對花茶沒有"癮"所以沒有試沖,但卻忍不住找些資料來看,原來"Cornflowers are often used as an ingredient in some tea blends and herbal teas, and is famous in the Lady Grey blend of Twinings. "

然後找到這個:"The cornflower gets its formal name from a minor goddess, Cyanus, and its genus name from a mythical Centaur (from the Greek Centaurea), whose name was Chiron. Chiron was a renowned herbalist in Greek mythology, and is credited with teaching mankind about the healing power of herbs."

而我選擇矢車菊,是因為早前在彩油諮詢師通訊裡,副校長clauda booth寫了一篇文章介紹它的藍....讓我記住了這個名字,當上月訂香薰油回港時,發現它大特價,所以訂回來試試浸泡一下~
