It can take one ton of rose petals to produce 300g of essential oil. Romans scattered rose petals on the bridal bed and at weddings to ensure a happy marriage.- Tea Tree oil is 12-15 times stronger in antiseptic qualities than carbolic (which is 2 ? times more antiseptic than Dettol), but can be used neat on the skin with little or no irritation.

- Lavender is well known for its sedative properties but less for its ability to prevent sleep in high doses.
