Dear Elizabeth,

Hi there! I grow herbs to make herbal infused oils and creams to

sell in my business. Helichrysum, Melissa (lemon balm), violet leaf, and

any

of the other mints as well as lavenders are great to grow. I went to

making

and teaching about herbal infused oils because of the potential that

they

have in working with essential oils. Currently I am working on an

article

about how to use herbal infused creams and oils. The problem at present

with

herbal infusions is that there is no standardized method used for making

and

pricing of herbal infusions. At present herbal infusions can be made in

as

little as 3 days (this means very little healing qualities are

transferred

into the oil) or they can set for years and be extraordinary strong and

will

melt plastic the same as essential oils and you would also use them by

the

drop. They are not as concentrated as essential oils but you use the

herbs

for infusions that are either hard to get essential oils from or herbs

that

are not generally cost effective to make into essential oils. These

infusions greatly broaden your scope of use in aromatherapy into areas

that

along essential oils don't generally work in. (By the way, my infusions

set

for 1 year or longer in order to get the strenght that I need in

preparing

my oils and creams.) Also, by making infusions you can make smaller

amounts

and see if you want to grow larger amounts for either infusion or

distillation and believe it or not, you can get some very nice aromas. I

do

a Texas Oak Moss herbal infusion that I will put up against any Croatian

or

Eastern European Oak Moss essential oil for perfumery and varicose

veins.

Helichyrsum, African Queen Basil, and Melissa oils also come out quite

nicely for working with. If you have any more questions, please email me

either privately or to the group.

Dear Lynne,

Please I will email you privately. I will not violate the code for

advertising on this list. I respect our list moderator and her request for

no advertising. We should all remember this no matter how much we are

prompted to advertise in our signature. I am sure that most of the people on

this list do have businesses and want to learn as much as they can about

aromtherapy to enhance their knowledge.

Thanks,

Rhavda
