Artemesia ludiviciana owyhee essential oils

[Guest guest]

Hi All ..

 

Wishing everyone a Happy Spring ..

 

Question.. has anyone heard of .. or blended with this oil out of Oregon..

 

It is really soft and fragrant .. their data sheet states it may be an

alternative to Chamomile.

 

Just wondering if anyone has worked with this material.

 

Many thanks,

Rosanne

Hi Rosanne,

 

I once received some samples of artemisia oils from a very kind oil

researcher (end of last century...), as I was still

living in Belgium.

It was Artemisia dracunculus and " the " Artemisia Ludoviciana...

I was quit impressed with the Ludoviciana, found it a wonderfull oil,

very promising, I thought at that moment that

it would be a wonderful oil for stress and specially adapted for pain

relief for woman (menstrual pain).

 

It can probably also be used in a nebulizer, I think to enhance

concentration and could even be helpfull in palliative care

centers...

 

It was not commercially available then, so I kept it and sniffed it from

time to time, as a stress reliever. I don't remember

if I also received some analyses then, I think so, but I use other

programs now, so it would take me a moment to find the traces.

 

(I kept all my emails since 1994 but woud need to bring them together in

a separate place to be able to do some search

actions)

 

I would have loved to start working with it, even convinced a Belgian

friend to cultivate some, but the distilled result was not

comparable at all with the Oregon oil...

I did some research in the old book of Gildemeister & Hoffmann and found

some description of those

" Wild sage " oils, one came from South Dakota Artemisia Ludoviciana

Nutt., distilled by F.Rabak (Pharm. Review 23 (1905), page 128),

the yield was 0,38 percent with fresh plant material and gave an oil

with a green/yellow color and very aromatic.

 

(Gildemeister & Hoffmann, German version, 1929)

 

I'm sure you ill have very nice results with it, I'm even jealous, since

it has been one of my favorite fragrances, but I had not enough to

really start working with it!

;-)

 

I have the precous samples here in front of me, still in the original

rectangular bottle.

 

:-)
