Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 A very Happy New Year to everyone. I don't profess to be an expert by any means, but I am reading and studying about the health benefits of using essential oils for a better and healthier life.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Hello Lynn, One of the modalities I have studied and used extensively in the past several years is therapuetic essetial oils. They are very exciting and have healing quailities many times higher than the dried herbs. Until I experienced them, that was a foriegn concept to me. Now I understand that drying the plant allows for loss of some of healing properties where as PROPER distillation of the " life blood " of the plant allows the chemical constituency to stay intact. What is your source. How are they tested for purity and the correct percentages of chemical action? I'm always looking for proven sources.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Francie, Our company grows and distills most of the plants used in our therapeutic essential oils. What is not grown ourselves is monitored and tested very closely. Our oils are sent to outside labs for testing and meet the AFNOR/ISO standards to identify therapeutic-grade oils. Watch out for adulterated oils! Much of the lavender oil sold in America is a hybrid called lavandin. It is cut with synthetic linalyl acetate to improve the fragrance. Solvents are then added that have no smell but increase the volume, and it is sold in the U.S. This is one of the reasons it is important to know about the integrity of the company or vendor from which you purchase your essential oils. Frankincense is another example of a commonly adulterated oil. Some statistics show that one company -- Proctor & Gamble -- uses twice as much essential oils as is produced in the entire world. From where are these so called " essential oils " coming? I hope this helps and let know if you have any further questions.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Ahhh, I am familiar with the company and use it often for most of my needs. The ones they grow and distill themselves are exceptionally exquisite.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Darn, think I hit the wrong button again...will get used to this soon. Any way, Lynn, because of the AFNOR standards, I am familiar with this company and use it for most of my needs. I find the oils they grow themselves, especially the high quality of Clary Sage, Peppermint and Lavender to be exquisite Francie Gettingwell, lhenley676@a... wrote: > > > Francie, > > Our company grows and distills most of the plants used in our therapeutic > essential oils.

Lemon is a wonderful oil to prevent infection in an incision and also helps the skin to heal with less scaring. I have found geranium very beneficial for scaring that happens after the healing process seems to be complete. To help the body heal an incision, I would first use Arnica Montana for the cutting prior to and after incision according to label. I would use helichrysum italicum or agustifolium to allow for any nerves that may need regeneration. T The italicum species of helichrysum also is wonderful for pain control of any kind. I would use OPCs to speed up the healing from a cellular level. Blessings Francie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
