Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hello Everyone, Just starting out and decided to stop reading and start sniffing. I have a couple of newbie questions that I haven't found answers to yet. 1) When the books say that an oil goes rancid quickly, what is quickly? A few weeks, months? 2) Rosehip carrier oil - is it ok to use by itself? I have found it to be quite helpful for some of my skin problems and so far it hasn't killed me... 3) I have now learned to take a list with me when I go EO shopping and not just go by " this smells good! " . Which leads me to - what is Galangal (Alpinia galanga) used for? I believe one source said it was a substitute for Ginger. and finally 4) Has anyone tried taking orange blossums off the tree and infusing them into jojoba? Of course I think of this AFTER the tree stops blooming. I have gotten a lot of great information from this site and enjoy reading the group. I ordered a bunch of samples and a few oils from Butch (thanks Butch! I am the one who is allergic to everything with the word nut in it). I *love* his high altitude lavender. Whoops, one last question, since heat is not good for oils, for those of you who live in warmer states (I am in Arizona), do you still order them in the summer? Thanks, Cynthia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
