Essential Oil Q & A

*****************

Q: Could one make a nasal spray which moisturizes the nasal passages using

oils? I would think that tea tree would be good but I know its too strong to

use just like that. I also get sinus related ear ache. Is tea tree oil too

strong to apply into ears with an ear bud?

A: Here is a recipe I found for a nasal spray:

1 teaspoon Eucalyptus Oil

1 teaspoon of Marjoram

1 tablespoon of water

Use less Essential Oils if it burns too much. Don't blow your nose for at

least 5 minutes after using the spray. The formula should last for several

hours.

 

Q: Could you please tell me what oils would be useful for itchy scaly scalp

and thinning lifeless hair?

A: Here are some Essential Oils that may reduce hair loss: Roman Chamomile,

Lemon, Thyme, Rose, Sage, Clary-Sage and Rosemary.

Some basic things to keep in mind are to avoid chlorinated pools, don't

shampoo too often, and avoid heavy conditioning treatments and chemical hair

products.

The following recipes from "The Complete Book of Essential Oils &

Aromatherapy," by Valerie Ann Worwood

The first shampoo loosens the crusty layer of dead skin cells and, in the

washing, these are taken off. Also, it stimulates the healing mechanisms of the

skin to prevent a further buildup of dandruff scales. Use this shampoo only,

avoiding the harsh shampoos on the market.

Soap stew 4 ounces

Rosemary 18 drops

Thyme 10 drops

Sage 8 drops

Blend together well

This next shampoo stimulates a healthy scalp and thick, shining hair:

Soap Stew 4 ounces

Sage 10 drops

Lemon 12 drops

Basil 5 drops

Eucalyptus 15 drops

Peppermint 15 drops

Blend well together

Keep in mind that thinning hair probably has root causes and you might want

to look into where it is coming from to fix the problem for good.

Q: I am down here on the Gulf Coast where Katrina hit. We are seeing a lot

of mold. We have a brand new leather sofa set. The electricity is not on yet.

What can we put on it to prevent mold. It hasn't happened yet. I thought

maybe lemon oil.

A: You can try this recipe used for shower mold and mildew. I think it

should help to prevent mold from any damp surface or area.

1/2 Cup Baking Soda

10 drops Tea Tree essential oil

10 drops Lavender essential oil

10 drops Geranium essential oil

Combine all ingredients and using a damp sponge or cloth, rub the suspected

area. For serious mildew buildup areas, combine 20 drops of Tea Tree and

water in a spray bottle, and spray area everyday for 5 days, then 2x a week.
