Lavender blend - help needed

[Guest guest]

I'll just have to get my glases and read the small script and then

I'll get back to you on the latin names. I agree - I should use tham

instead of the comon ones - it's like in anathomy and hospital

language - if you not use the latin, how the heck should anyone know

for sure, what part of the body you are talking about :-P

 

Should I drink that coctail (it maybe goes down better with a drop or

two of the stronger stuff LOL) or just inhale it, rub it or??

Anything that would clear up my foggy-soggy head would be fine :-D

 

BTW - Fiona (my dog) found a black patent ladies pump with stilletto

heel in some bushes - what do you make of that? Kind of creepy I

think, since there was no lady attached to it ;-)

Hey Ylva,

We don't celebrate the same Thanksgiving here in Turkey either .. the

American holiday is strictly American .. but we do have a Sukran Bayram

which literally translates to Thanks Giving Holidays.

Be a lot easier if you start using Botanical Names. I don't think many

people can understand what Fine Population Lavender is .. though I would

guess that the Himalayan Lavender is Lavandula angustifolia. ;-)

 

For the handcream, consider using a base of Lavandula angustifolia

Hydrosol along with the water. We're developing a Rose Hand & Body

Creme here now with a base of Rose Hydrosol (Rosa damascena). But it

will need a preservative of some sort or it won't last long.

 

As for the loss of smell .. rough that is and I hope it passes fast.

I'd recommend you sniff one of the carvacrol rich Origanums.

Hard to say what you got from a Swedish supplier. What's the Botanical

Name? ;-p I find a lot of European suppliers selling Thymes and Lippia

graveolens and calling it Oregano .. especially the Lippia cause they

have so many Common Names that mistakenly end in Oregano .. though they

are NOT Origanums. The Lippias are Family Verbenaceae .. Origanums are

Family Labiatae .. the only thing they have in common besides incorrect

Common Names is that some of the Lippias contain carvacrol.

 

> With an aching throat I leave you for now, Ylva

 

Sniff some Origanum vulgare or Origanum onites or Origanum dubium .. and

maybe even make a little cocktail blend with one of the Origanums and

Rosmarinus officinalis, cineole type .. it'll help fer'shur. :-P
