Below is the list of what herbs/essential oil I ordered from Spiceworld.co.uk and how I used them. It was quite hard to find a UK supplier with such choice available in small quantities (not sold by the kilo!). The only thing is that the herbs are not organic. You get free delivery with all orders above £50 at Spiceworld.co.uk so think of group orders and stocking up on herbs, spices and essential oils for your family.
