    Spa Index Kitchen Notes

    For the Citrus Herb variation, try lavender flowers, chamomile, rosemary, sage, or citrus zests, and/or a few drops of your choice Essential Oils -- consider rosemary, lavender, sage, eucalyptus, cedar, juniper, cinnamon, or clove. Cedar and Sage makes a wonderful combination, according to our male members on staff.
