Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi all In the PubMed article on dust mites (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1661675 ) they quote *matrecary* essential oil as an effective control. Dust mites aside - What IS Matrecary - anyone know? I've googled it and there is nothing, no plant, no oil, no nothing.... LLx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 It is a very expensive and rare oil that comes from fresh brides and grooms and is usually cold-pressed though some variety may be steam distilled.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hey, Liz - >>What IS Matrecary - anyone know? My guess is Matricaria recutita - Chamomile. One study got it wrong, and rather than check squat, the quoters of the world all followed suit. Although I like Tracy's answer better.
