The organ opens, so the recipe for making the soap is current. Collect freshly opened flowers and peel off the stem and dry in a shady place.
The garden organ (Syringa vulgaris) was brought to Spain by the Arabs in the 10th century. The first shrub to Vienna in the XVI. century, mediated by the Austrian imperial envoys of Constantinople, from where it then spread rapidly. Today, there are almost 900 varieties of the plant.
THE garden organ (Syringa vulgaris) belongs to the family of olives. It prefers sunny, warm places in summer. He likes deep, clayey but not too high groundwater. Otherwise undemanding, very well adapted, winter hardy, heat tolerant, well tolerated by the urban climate, well resistant to wind. Its flowers, leaves, bark, and essential oil obtained from its flowers can be used.
Use of the organ
Folk medicine is made from dried leaves or bark organ tea to relieve fever, and the organ tea made of flowers is to strengthen the digestive system use.
Because it is organ mildly toxic, so it doesn’t hurt to be careful with it. It can be used to make excellent rheumatic oil (from its flower) for rubbing, but organ soap made from lilac flowers has been a real specialty since the organ was introduced. Too bad he forgot about more fragrant shower gels and soaps. Therefore, let us make it ourselves organ soap!
Making organ soap:
You need a block of glycerin soap (available in creative stores, art supplies, only this type of soap can be melted). Melt (do not cook!) The glycerin soap over a steam bath until it becomes flowing, then stir in the organ flowers. Then pour the soap into a mold (an oval holder for a dairy product is excellent) and let it harden. The flowers in the soap not only make our homemade soap smell slightly mild, but also very showy and special.
If you may have an organ-scented perfume at home, or our essential oil, stir in the still liquid soap a little before pouring into the mold so you can make the scent even more intense.
We can also make soap with lavender in this way! Worth to try!
