Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Here I sit, at my computer, with this pot of oregano oil next to me... I will surely keep all sorts of nasty flu germs at bay this way, if not a computer virus, as well, eh? Concerning chaste tree EO's: << Actually .. there are three. Leaf, fruit and mixed .. some folks call the fruit " berries " so I listed that along with fruit to keep folks from scratching their heads .. really, there are no berries on Vitex agnus castus .. and this Vitex is from my distiller .. wildgrown and harvested in the south of Turkey. And I also have the ONLY Vitex agnus castus hydrosol to be found in the USA .. the first in fact, but its not on the site yet. You know the purpose of Vitex agnus castus .. right? >> Well, actually, I'd love to expand on my knowledge about using the chaste tree berries, leaves, if you'd love to enlighten... > And finally, how is it that the Turkish lavendar is more expensive > that the French? Now, I see, also, that I was confusing French Lavandin with the other lavenders. (Are they very different?)

Just not sure what to do with it yet, but it smells wonderful! I'm tempted to taste it....but going to start out by spritzing it on my face. I also have Butch's Vitex eo's, and love the leaf. I guess the men don't care for it, but I really like it. Must really be a LADYS oil. Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably much longer than it will take to evaporate. But that's one heckuva lotta Oregano oil. ;-p > And, by the way, does it even work very well as a preventive? Drawing volatized molecules of essential oils into the body through the olfactory system is what aromatherapy is really all about .. so the answer is .. YES. It will kick lots of bad bug butts and that is a part of prevention of illness. In fact, the only way to get the chemical components of essential oils into the body faster than through the olfactory system is injection .. which we NEVER do. Ingestion is much slower than inhalation. > I just made a BIG order from Butch, and wondered a couple of things... > First of all, I noticed that your cinnamon EO is not of the bark but > the leaves. Because the Cinnamon Leaf oil is much safer .. Cinnamon bark is a bad sensitizer, a skin irritant and its far more toxic. That's why I don't carry Cinnamon bark EO. Neither should be used on sensitive skin. > Why is this? And what do you think of the type derived from bark? I think the Cinnamon Leaf is much safer to use than the Cinnamom Bark and it has similar therapeutic properties. > Next, you have four types of chaste tree berry EO. Can you explain the > differences? Actually .. there are three. Leaf, fruit and mixed .. some folks call the fruit " berries " so I listed that along with fruit to keep folks from scratching their heads .. really, there are no berries on Vitex agnus castus .. and this Vitex is from my distiller .. wildgrown and harvested in the south of Turkey. And I also have the ONLY Vitex agnus castus hydrosol to be found in the USA .. the first in fact, but its not on the site yet. You know the purpose of Vitex agnus castus .. right? > Have you ever looked into NEEM oil? Or considered carrying it? Looked into it a bit .. and don't think I will offer now. Maybe someday but no plans to do so now. > And finally, how is it that the Turkish lavendar is more expensive > that the French? Its not .. on neither the retail or wholesale site .. its considerably less. You must have superimposed the numbers. The Turkish is lowest, Bulgarian is next and the French High Altitude is the most costly. > I recently enjoyed so much what you shared about the oreganos, so I > look forward to learning more. Glad to hear it. :-P Ask your questions and I'll answer. > Mahalo & Aloha! > Tuberoses and passiflora! > Asira, on Kauai And to you .. lucky you live Hawaii.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 HI, I have Butch's hydrosol also, but don't know what to do with it. If anyone has info on this, I would love to hear. It is not in the hydrosol book. TIA, Bobbye > And I have some, and it smells wonderful! Just not sure what to do with it yet, but it smells wonderful!
