But...everyone else's Rue is contaminated, and adulterated, and not of therapeutic grade. His is DIFFERENT and safe to use. All his oils are different, and safe to use.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Gosh Marge! I'd forgotten that! Silly me ;-) Seriously folks I'd keep away from Rue there are other, safer, oils to help with depression.

LLx Reminiscent of when GY introduced the common tansy (tanacetum vulgare)essential oil just because he found it on his property in Idaho and had an uncle he could teach to distill it. . .certainly not the safest oil to use and not a common oil in the aromatherapy toolbox in use by 'safe and saners'.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm sure they do :-) But not all herb/plants make safe essential oils... ;-) LLx On 11/03/2008, Earthfinds <earthfinds wrote: > I grow rue.
