I use Dandelion blossom oil, and St. John's Wort oil for massage, and painful tension in muscles....they are quite medicinal, but are not essential oils. They are safer, and easier to use in my personal opinion. You can even take them internally, with no harm to yourself. They are very easy to make too....there are so many things they can be used for! The website is huge, you may really enjoy it. It's one of my favorites. Making essential oils from scratch is a very involved, somewhat complex process that requires specific equipment. It is completely different from herbs in oil, or vodka. Herbs in vodka would be tinctures, in my opinion...a whole other subject you could get into on the same site. For the bugs in the house...I've heard that bunches of Tansy hung above or at doorways keeps flies at bay.... Hope that helps! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Don't know if anyone has answered your question yet or not (am in the middle of checking a couple days worth of email) but these are what's known as infused oils. They work for lots of great things. Unfortunately though, they are not true essential oils.
