Traditional uses and folklore: Coriander, once grown in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, has been used since ancient times for medicine (constipation and insomnia), food (the Egyptians called it the spice of happiness), flavoring (of various wines and liqueurs), and in cosmetics (an ingredient of the 17th century French Carmelite toilette water). Cypress, often planted in graveyards, has long been valued as a medicine (astringent tonic), incense (for purification), and for its wood (made into houses, ships, sarcophagi and statues of deities), both in the eastern Mediterranean and in Asia. Sweet Orange, Melissa and Neroli: see their individual profiles in previous synergies. Ormensis, a relatively new essential oil, is native to north-west Africa, and is distantly related to the Chamomiles botanically, and for that reason is often called Wild or Moroccan Chamomile.

Precautions: use in moderation; a few individuals may be sensitive.
