BEST PLACE TO BUY HERBS/AROMATHERAPY

My wife introduced me to the power of essential oils ten years ago. I use peppermint for my sciatica, and wintergreen for sore muscles. About four years ago I was having trouble with tinnitus in my left ear and started applying peppermint to my ear, both inside and out. Amazingly, the ringing went away. (Disclosure: I may have had something other than true tinnitus, because others have tried this remedy, and it didn’t help.)
Locally, our readers mentioned a handful of places to buy herbs and aromatherapy. Leading the way was Alchemy Botanicals, Trisha Acheatel’s store at 253 E. Main.
They were followed by:
• The Food Co-op.
• Shop ‘n’ Kart.
