Iris

It is the book "Iris" by Hermann Hesse . The cover is made of linen. It tells the story of a boy who loves nature, but particularly in the iris discovered a secret. He loses his child's perspective in the course of his life and seeks the secret of his childhood .....

Iris Oil use even for colds and respiratory complaints, it forbids us but the price, as there are for this indication enough affordable alternatives.

The Iris oil is at the soul level, a very valuable helper, always there when we lack words, a special atmosphere (birth, death, grief, etc.), we want to find our roots, or protection from influences which from the outside will need.

I always have a 1% dilution of the oil in alcohol use (eg, Primavera), as the scent of the iris developed in the fine anyway dilution in earnest.
