Probably much longer than it will take to evaporate. But that's one

heckuva lotta Oregano oil. ;-p

 

> And, by the way, does it even work very well as a preventive?

 

Drawing volatized molecules of essential oils into the body through the

olfactory system is what aromatherapy is really all about .. so the

answer is .. YES. It will kick lots of bad bug butts and that is a part

of prevention of illness. In fact, the only way to get the chemical

components of essential oils into the body faster than through the

olfactory system is injection .. which we NEVER do. Ingestion is much

slower than inhalation.

 

> I just made a BIG order from Butch, and wondered a couple of things...

> First of all, I noticed that your cinnamon EO is not of the bark but

> the leaves.

 

Because the Cinnamon Leaf oil is much safer .. Cinnamon bark is a bad

sensitizer, a skin irritant and its far more toxic. That's why I don't

carry Cinnamon bark EO. Neither should be used on sensitive skin.

 

> Why is this? And what do you think of the type derived from bark?

 

I think the Cinnamon Leaf is much safer to use than the Cinnamom Bark

and it has similar therapeutic properties.

 

> Next, you have four types of chaste tree berry EO. Can you explain the

> differences?

 

Actually .. there are three. Leaf, fruit and mixed .. some folks call

the fruit " berries " so I listed that along with fruit to keep folks from

scratching their heads .. really, there are no berries on Vitex agnus

castus .. and this Vitex is from my distiller .. wildgrown and harvested

in the south of Turkey. And I also have the ONLY Vitex agnus castus

hydrosol to be found in the USA .. the first in fact, but its not on the

site yet. You know the purpose of Vitex agnus castus .. right?

 

> Have you ever looked into NEEM oil? Or considered carrying it?

 

Looked into it a bit .. and don't think I will offer now. Maybe someday

but no plans to do so now.

 

> And finally, how is it that the Turkish lavendar is more expensive

> that the French?

 

Its not .. on neither the retail or wholesale site .. its considerably

less. You must have superimposed the numbers. The Turkish is lowest,

Bulgarian is next and the French High Altitude is the most costly.

 

> I recently enjoyed so much what you shared about the oreganos, so I

> look forward to learning more.

 

Glad to hear it. :-P Ask your questions and I'll answer.

 

> Mahalo & Aloha!

> Tuberoses and passiflora!

> Asira, on Kauai

 

And to you .. lucky you live Hawaii.

 

Y'all keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AT.com
