Rosemary radiata? That's new to me. I use a lot of Eucalyptus radiata with my

kids and the products I make for friends.

Okay... Euc Citrodora is really differerent from what people 'expect' from

a Eucalyptus. Proven effective as an insect repellant (although, in my

experience less effective than Lemonteatree)... so we just recommend it for

that purpose. Euc smithii and Euc radiata are both strong sellers for us,

and I think should be included in your handout. I've never been impressed

by the Euc. polybractea...

 

 

 

>Rosemary officianalis, cineole type and verbenone type

 

you are missing Rosemary Camphor... the verbenone is reputedly good for

mature skin... and cineole smells so much nicer than camphor... is the

one that people are most apt to order, the one that we include in the

various student kits we supply.

 

am not really sure of the strengths of the R. camphor vs the cineole...

thinking that it would be better for pain relief? but I don't KNOW that...

Hi Sylla,

We have E. globulus, E. citriodora, E.Radiata and E.polybractea

 

Most of the massage therapists use E.globulus but a few prefer E. polybractea

(which was a hard EO to find but we did find a supplier). Personally it is

similar to E. globulus but we have massage therapists that swear it is better

than any other.

 

Agree with Marge on the E. citriodora. to me it smells unlike the other

Eucalyptus and is very lemony. Nice when you want a little Euc but not too

much. E. Radiata is used mainly for upper respiratory, especially for the

younger crowd. Not so pungent. I use it in many of the blends when I don't want

an overpowering camphorus smell. It still provides much of the properties

expected of Eucalyptus globulus but in a more enjoyable scent.

Again, the majority of our customers/massage therapists use Rosemary cineole but

a few requested we carry the Rosemary ct. verbenone since it is less camphorus.

Personally I prefer the smell of Rosemary ct cineole - it just has the smell I

like when I think of Rosemary.

 

Sorry, I couldn't help more than that. But wanted to let you know that we have a

supplier for the Eucalyptus polybractea.

Thanks all for the replies everyone! and correcting my list!

 

>> Euc smithii and Euc radiata are both strong sellers for us,

OK this is what I am looking for, what are the most often used, sold, etc

especially to massage/skin care people (the class is for a spa group : lmt and

skin care) so you are saying smithii and radiata are stronger sellers than the

usual E. globulus? they may be also more pleasant to use in spa situation.....

 

 

>Rosemary officianalis, cineole type and verbenone type

>you are missing Rosemary Camphor... >>

 

OK I was meaning the R. officianalis would be the camphor type; so you sell more

of the cineole type than camphor.....? I like the camphor for the stimulant

properties and the pain factor....

 

Thanks for all this help, helps me narrow down what to speak about. I am only

covering the top 10-15 oils, and I want to keep them the basics, I just wanted

to be able to explain the different ones commonly used, and leave out anything

that is rarely sold anymore......so this is a good discussion!!

 

Sylla

ps and thanks for the wonderful little sample packet for Valentines day with my

last order, came in just in time for my 28 year anniversary today- cant believe

I have been married to same (wonderful) man for that long!! guess I will keep

him!!!

 

pps and just heard from Jim back in Camp Phoneix, made it after leaving FL Tue

morning, he got to camp Saturday noon, exhausted but happy he made the trip, WE

ARE TOO!

I don't know if this is worth anything but here's my 2 cents on Euc

citriodora. I'm a big fan of it. Especially for small children. The smell is

pleasant (at least we all think so) and for children with chest colds I will

pick that first when making a chest rub. I'll also use it first in a burner

for a room the kids are in. I'm NOT fond of e. Glob. I find it too harsh and

the cough factor really rules it out for most uses. But Smithii, I like that

one for us Older kids, and have even used it in a pinch in a room with the

kids over 2 (keep in mind, I'm a liberal in all things EXCEPT the use of

EO's where I tend to be super conservative, make that an ultra right wing

ranting and raving conservative (I tend to be quite a bit more conservative

than your average aromatherapist too), but I think most of you have seen

that part of me in action ;-) ). Radiata would be my third choice although

I wouldn't have many concerns using it in place of Smithii. Have never

experienced polybractea.

 

As this is for spa folk and children rarely (if ever, I've never heard of a

kid in a spa) would be found there, my top two choices would be Smithii

first followed closely by Radiata. I know when I purchase the eucs, it's

always the Smithii, the citriodora and sometimes radiata.

 

Probably useless info, but I tried. ;-)

So now I'm wondering if it's MY E.citriodora that is unpleasant. It smells

EXACTLY like Murphy's Wood Soap. If that _IS_ how it smells then it might be

unpleasant to me due to a turn at being housekeeper-for-hire as an older

teenager.

 

Has anybody else smelled E.cit AND Murphy's Oil Soap to give their opinion of MY

experience?
