Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)

[Guest guest]

Hey Helen,

 

> Is this the one you are talking about, Butch?

 

Yes'm .. that's it fer'shur. But there is a later one than that .. when I

sent the first post the EO Monographs and Natural Beauty were not yet on my

site .. they are now and they are shown in the information at the bottom of

this page now.

 

> Remember I keep a " Butch " folder and stuff your EO posts in it.

 

Awww .. making me blush you are. :-P

 

> This was interesting.

Glad you thought so. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) Cineole Chemotype is one

of

my favorite oils .. and would be listed in the FIVE if I could only live with

five

oils the rest of my life. Thry would be Oregano (Origanum vulgare), Eucalyptus

(E.

globulus), Rosemary (Cineole), Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and Rose Otto

(Rosa

damascena).

 

Which brings to mind .. a strong desire to clear up a bit of the smoke and

mirrors

surrounding the production of Rose Otto. I find this necessary periodically as

we

have new folks joining the list from time to time. I've never resorted to hype

to

sell Turkish Rose Otto. With conditions as they are this year I think others

who

sell PURE Rose Otto (Bulgarian or Turkish) will find they have no need to do

this

because its no longer a buyer's market .. its a seller's market. Before this

year is

out folks will be glad to pay what they must to get ANY pure, unadulterated Rose

Otto. I intend to tell folks a the Tucson Un-Shindig pretty much the same

thing.

I'll make a post on that soon.

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com
