You can also steam down on the stove in water and inhale when you have any cold, flu, or sinus troubles, for instant relief of pain. Sprinkled in the bath, it’s great for its aroma therapy benefits and can ease stress, tension, and sore muscles. And of course, keep on adding it to those great deserts you love so much!
