Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hi Michael, One of the my best uses is for cleaning with oregano and rosemary. I live in a pine forest and palmetto bugs love to come in the house at certain times. I read from Butch to use oregano and rosemary in the mop water and it works. Spray rose hydrosol on the skin for hydration is another way I use. Warmly, Bobbye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Oooh, Thanks for the anti-palmetto bugs tip Bobbye! Houston has a rather large palmetto bug population, which I'd rather keep OUTSIDE *lol* *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of the my best uses is for cleaning with oregano and rosemary.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 New person to the list here...Sent a message the other day, but I think ate it, had Hi or Hello in the subject line. Have 2 questions, but will introduce myself first. I'm Anita Reeves, live north of Houston, TX; soaper for 4+ years, toiletry maker, and want to learn more about the essential oils I use and those I might use<G>. Also, now a budding herbalist. In other words, want to know all that I can. I'm over 50, and have a business by the name of " A-ReMark-able Experience " . I'm one of those who like to do things myself, so I am still trying to learn about creating web sites, so don't have one up yet. Hopefully soon though. Question #1- although I've been hearing about floral waxes, can someone tell me exactly what they are, and do you use them in formulations with wax-like beeswax or e-wax, or are they more like a butters, for use purposes. Question #2- Chris, are palmetto bugs the ones we call " lovebugs " or " helicopter bugs " , down here? Or are they those " no seeum " bugs like nats? Mostly a lurker, but will pipe in when I have a question, or something knowledgable to add, or sometimes a " silly comment " !!
