" Nicknames " for plants are often confusing...and there are often multiple names for the same plant that vary by culture or geography. I think Mr. Watt was asking not because he didn't know something but to be sure he answered the question correctly based on the correct botanical/latin name for the plant you mentioned. Sue P.S.

I doubt we will ever see the day anyone on this list even comes close to possessing Martin's knowledge. I, for one, am grateful that he takes the time to participate in these discussions. That was plain nasty. Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Astrocaryum species are known to cause dermatitis and other symptoms among those handling palm wood in Brazil. A wax extracted from the wood also produced positive tests for sensitization. This substance is not tested by the cosmetics trade and so it is not advisable to use it for treating skin conditions. You are playing with fire with these unusual extracts. Some may well be used by tradional healers, but almost always when a population is too poor to pay for regular medical treatment. I could come up with hundreds of plant derived substances listed in old books, or still used by traditional healers when they have no alternative. However, those of us with proper training in herbs or essential oils, know better as to what is safe, what not and what is just not worth the risk. You badly need to get to grips with the Ancient philosphy of " first do no harm " . I am not just targeting this at you. I know there are many soap makers and kitchen sink cosmetic makers in America who do not have the first clue on the safe use of plant extracts. That is why increasingly stringent legislation is being pushed onto everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 --- The latin correct name is Astrocaryum murumuru identified by von Martius. Sorry to say but I am biologist since 77, I am not a kid that is selflearning something, not a novice to the subject, although you may think that because I am really a young person in essence and always eager to know and even if I am 53, always asking, more than answering ( there is no finished answer for anything). When we never met someone we should treat them all right, perhaps this person is older than you and maybe more full of titles although not so self infected. I am ready to quit this subject (fed up) and if this boring atitude keeps going on ready to quit the group. (or maybe just keep quiet. What a pity...

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 --- People who work with me had a good laugh... They said: " If it is so easy to make the butter with the palm tree which has such a alot of huge thorns that is difficult to reach the fruit, what are we doing breaking these bloody hard nuts to take the butter from... " that was fun! Ane* (remainder of quoted post snipped by moderator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why increasingly stringent legislation is being pushed onto everyone. [Dave:] I’m seeing a lot of this, as I belong to several related groups. Sometimes I get real uneasy, realizing that people are indeed playing with materials they don’t understand. It happens in every field. When I was restoring antiques, sometimes the job cost three times as much because I first had to undo the previous work of someone who didn’t understand adhesives or wood dynamics. People want to do things themselves and that’s great. They sometimes want to learn how first, and that’s better. And sometimes they need to leave the work to others, and that can be good, too. I would hate to have to have some kind of curandero’s license in order to buy EOs but it may come to that. -- Version: 7.5.430 / Virus Database: 268.14.14/547 - Release 11/22/2006 5:41 PM -- Version: 7.5.430 / Virus Database: 268.14.14/547 - Release 11/22/2006 5:41 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
