Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 Quite simple. The " English " tradition began via Beauty Therapy, really. Low doses suggested, little knowledge of the oils. The Frenchies, however, made it clear that depending on the condition, a higher dose is necessary to realise DOSE DEPENDENT effects - and are safe as well. Again, you will see this mentioned in the " Toxicity Myths " paper I have sent to you. If others are interested in this paper, please contact me. - Helen Ranger <hranger Tuesday, May 02, 2000 1:11 AM [AX] varicose veins in pregnancy Hi again Ron I don't understand why you are suggesting that 5-10% essential oil in a blend is a full dose, and one that can be used in pregnancy. The usual 'dose' is 2 1/2-3%, and half that during pregnancy and breastfeeding. What you are saying goes against all information in all the textbooks - so again, where is your information from? Helen in Cape Town Such oils are fine to use in FULL DOSE (5% to 10% concentration) directly on varicose veins during pregnancy. It is too small of a dose to be concerned about any supossed toxicity during pregnancy...Such oils include: Cypress, True Niaouli, Patchouli, Mastick, Lemon Eucalyptus and Calendula CO2 extract, to name a few. ------ Get paid for the stuff you know!
