Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 That is a tough one Ann. With autistic children or adults for that matter, any thing may or may not get a reaction. I would try Frankincense, sandalwood, melissa, and basil eugenol (basil with a high eugenol content). Is your son old enough to do a total body cleanse? Bowel cleanse? Liver cleanse?

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Don't forget the neti pot too. I have not used one but I do know how it works. I usually just stick my head in a bowl of water and inhale through my nose. Guess that is the hard way to do it. Some day I will buy a neti pot. Don - Suzanne Nottmeier herbal remedies Monday, September 23, 2002 8:10 PM Re: [herbal remedies] new herb supply co. HHHmmmmmmmmmmm... never thought about that helping the sinus and allergy situation - thanks don... I'll have to try that... sometimes my brain is "out in the pasture"...... Suzi Donald Eitner wrote: As for allergies, this is just a sign your body is giving you. Your liver most likely is toxic and congested. It cannot deal with the environmental allergens (proteins and such). A good thorough liver cleanse and even the total body cleanse would most likely help you with sinus allergies and may even improve your sense of smell.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 This is good. It will help him. This is something that you may have to do a number of times. Realize that just because you do a liver cleanse once does not necessarily mean that the liver is now totally cleansed. It does take time. Helichrysum is a very good oil. Most people really like the effects they get from it. Don - Tohelpwilliam herbal remedies Monday, September 23, 2002 8:32 PM Re: [herbal remedies] new herb supply co.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 OK. I couldn't take it any more and had to go look up what a neti pot was. Here is a link that discusses it and nasal cleaning: http://www.nutraceutic.com/Products/Ayurveda/AncientSecrets/ancientsecretsnetipot.htm I have learned something new today and I think I might try this.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Hi Shelly, I am sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I did not mean to offend you and hope that I haven't. I do realize that you probably were aware of this fact. I do wish to let you know some eo's that are considered safe to use during pregnancy though. Cardamon, German Chamomile, Roman Chamomile, Clary sage, Coriander seed, Geranium, Ginger, Lavender, Neroli, Palmarosa, Patchouli, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, and Sandalwood to name a few. Don - Shelly herbal remedies Tuesday, September 24, 2002 1:50 PM Re: [herbal remedies] new herb supply co. Thanks Don.. I did know that it's probably not wise to mess with herbs and such being pregnant and /or nursing.. except the ones you cook with.. like basil, etc... but not herbs for healing! Shelly - Donald Eitner herbal remedies Tuesday, September 24, 2002 1:10 PM Re: [herbal remedies] new herb supply co. Well Shelly, Thank you. Just keep on learning all you can about them. They are truly fascinating in their action on the body. Besides that they smell really nice, at least most of them do. :~) Some of them are quite interesting to cook with as well. But be careful with them as most of them are contraindicated in women who are pregnant and/or nursing.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Okay, I will throw my .02 cents worth in. It will do this true. But, did you know that 1 drop of Essential Oil of Peppermint is equal to 26 cups of peppermint tea? I didn't until a few days ago. I am still looking for the proof of this statement. I think that maybe it is because it takes that amount of peppermint herb to make 1 drop of Essential Oil.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Well, like I mentioned, if you take the amount of herb that it takes to make 26 cups of tea and you were to distill it then you might only get one drop of Essential oil. I mean it takes a lot of rose petals to make 1 ounce of rose oil. So maybe this is how they figure it. But I am still checking on this and will let you know if and when I ever find out.
