More than you might know .. the use of herbs is pretty close to being a

science .. the use of essential oils is light years away from being one.

There are a few tens of thousands of years of tried and true use of the

wild plants in nature .. by every culture in the world .. but the use of

essential oils for more than massage and such has like a generation or

so of concentrated use .. and even then much of the information has been

tainted like the fruits of a poison tree due to lots of misinformation,

disinformation, rumors and marketing hype .. not to mention the honest

or ignorant extrapolation of information I mentioned in the other post.

I think you mean you have been sniffing the oils from the leaves of

Eucalyptus and Tea Tree .. rather than the resins - correct?

If you read Schnaubelt .. can't find his book now so I'm sure the name

is misspelled .. ;-p .. you might come up with such a conclusion; moreso

in respect to the pines .. but I think the answer is NO. All of the

therapeutic properties of essential oils are directly related to their

chemical components and there are no corners on certain forms of plant

aromatics having identical properties based on their structure. Many

essential oils can assist the immune system .. they've been given the

handle of immunostimulants.

Probably could be .. though I'm not sure of how accurate such a grouping

would be .. and I'm not aware of it having been done.

Depends on just how specific we want to be .. whether or not we want to

use a broad stroke for academic training and then a surgical approach

for specialization .. I see no other way to approach it. And for that

matter, we can say the same thing for herbs .. and fats .. and alcohols

and many other things man consumes .. as well it applies to illnesses,

though (unfortunately) its not considered politically correct by the

knuckleheads of the world to discuss the fact that certain races are far

more prone to certain diseases than are other races. So .. researchers

try to couch their findings in acceptable terms.

 

But we must find some middle ground upon which to build foundations and

teach others.

I am totally ignorant of all you have discussed above .. but of course,

we know from watching CatScans that nerves are firing a few million

times a second .. and a single misfire can cause a siezure.

Good luck .. and gimme a holler when you get it right. I'd love to do

away with the tinitus I have .. though it will never (I hope) get so bad

I would resort to surgery to cure it. When they do that they clip the

nerves entirely .. and there is no more sound .. NO MORE HEARING either.
