Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 I also have rosacea. I have been using a cream from Purple Emu that is really clearing my face up. It took mine a bit longer to clear up than normal but it is going now. I still have a little redness on one cheek but the painful breakouts are gone. I ordered it on line from Purple Emu and really like it. I will continue to use it. It is all natural and the lady that sells it is very helpful. She has roseacea and had this cream developed specifically for this. Hope this helps. Terri Send Flowers for Valentine's Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Also for rosacea- no coffee, hot peppers, chocolate, black tea.... rose hydrosol is excellent... as is chamomile tea internally... michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Good point! :-D Just thought I should mention it, as it seems senseless to me to use a known skin irritant on irritated skin. If you like, there are authors who are more reliable for safety info than Valerie Worwood has the reputation of being.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Can you tell me who is a reliable source of information, I have many aromatherapy books but not sure who to really believe in Thanks to those who answered about my eczema, I truly appreciate it. anne h If you like, there are authors who are more reliable for safety info than Valerie Worwood has the reputation of being. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 LOL! That Italian guy! :-D They are all good, and you will feel like they are worth every penny. DOn't feel bad, we all start off with Worwood, et al, before we spend the $$ for the really, really good ones. Hey, we all have to start at the beginning, and I can understand why oils take precedence! I always think Worwood has a tendency to use 48 oils in her recipes when probably 1 or two will do. Someone told me once (I don't remember who or where) that of the say 40ish oils that you will know pretty well and have on hand (mine is WAY above that, as far as having on hand) you will only use maybe 15 on a regular basis, and you will find that your little collection will work for just about everything you can throw at them. So promise yourself that you are in for a treat, buy yourself some Heli, and start with Martin's book first - or start with Battaglia, and then graduate to Martin and Sylla.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Well, the hands-down best is Martin Watt's 'Plant Aromatics. " That gives you the very best and most reliable information on how to use EOs in skin products safely. Mind you, this is not a recipe book, but rather guidelines as to what you can us in what dilutions. For more specific information on what to use for what condition, I rely on Sylla Shephard Hanger's " The Aromatherapy Practitioner's Reference Manual. " They are both available from Butch, the latter is a bit pricey (or so you will think until you start to see how much use you get out of it), but worth the expense. Not perfect, but the best that is out there now. I have been threatening for a few years now to write a book on skin care/aromatherapy, but there you go, that will probably happen when I am old and gray! :-D Lynda Garden wrote: >Can you tell me who is a reliable source of information, I have many >aromatherapy books but not sure who to really believe in Thanks to those >who answered about my eczema, I truly appreciate it. >anne h > > If you like, > there are authors who are more reliable for safety info than Valerie > Worwood has the reputation of being. > > >--- >Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. >Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). >Version: 6.0.445 / Virus Database: 250 - Release 1/21/2003 > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Cheryl- I think his book is really very good. Helped me to finally understand chemistry, and he has great things like a massage routine, information about safety of EOs and toxicity, etc. I like it very much and still refer to it from time to time when I see something that rings a bell and I know he has the answer in here somewhere.
