Crystaliscious - Is your root oil strictly topical or has anyone ingested it? I have trigeminal neuropathy and would love an anti-inflamatory for it, but it's around my temple into my hair-line and around my eye. Not sure how much of it can be reached externally. Just wondered.... might have to try making some next harvest.

Thanks for the candle/clay pot info! I never knew! (Cat, I would have frozen to death in that snowbank.) Now I'll get some clay pots in case the power goes out this winter, and I can keep my plants warm.
