So I just beat them to it be saying >what I said above. ;-p Nope, Butch, I beat you on this one -- by about 15 minutes, LOL. The original report on vitex oil raises many red flags. The use of the leaf is just plain 'duh', since the berries are the source of the active ingredients. Once again, the AT industry is trying to distill everything under the sun, with no idea how or why of *if* it should be used. Wackier than the perfume industry, IMO, since untrained folks are trying to 'treat' people over the internet they've never met, questioned in depth, or have the training to diagnose. As far as the ladies in your office -- placebo effect, it's a wonderful thing, no? Did they ever try just drinking a tea of the berries, like their ancestors did for generations before them? Nice stuff the tea, but again, not for all women at all times -- if you drink it from menses to ovulation, it will increase blood flow. It should be drunk from ovulation to menses and then stopped. Corpus luteum, and all that, y'know. That pesky ol' FSH/follicles/estrogen cycle that ATs know little or nothing about. Gotta address the corpus luteum and the luteinizing hormone in the second part of the cycle, blah, blah, blah. Now I'm boring myself.. off to have a drink of plain 'ol sweet, filtered water. http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Yo Chris, > > What about Vitex oil .. haven't women been raving about it for > > menopause type stuff? Yep .. matter of factly they have .. to include some on this list. And its not just for hot flashes and such .. we have young folks here, to include in my office, that get great results for PMS .. which is a boon to men of all nations. ;-p I'll be glad to send what I have to the list now .. and understand that Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus castus) .. is not a well-tested EO. It has been tested .. and there are some folks that should avoid it, but others have great results. Martin and Anya will likely come out and say .. but .. its the plant that we know about .. not the oil. So I just beat them to it be saying what I said above. ;-p I make no claims .. but I am THE source .. for the Vitex agnus castus Leaf oil and the Fruit oil .. and the ONLY person to ever have brought the Vitex Hydrosol into the USA. Its all wild-grown .. Turkey. > Not Butch... not remotely 'butch' or " Butch " but... didn't Aromatic > Sage have an article on Vitex? Hmmmmmmm Lemme go look. Go look. > Yup... found it in Aromatic Sage issue five if anyone is interested in > a read. So make it easier for folks .. who wants to go searching? If you don't find it .. then I will put out what I have. > Cheers! > Kathleen Petrides > Editor: Aromtic Sage > http://www.aromaticsage.com Y'all keep smiling.
