( >Neysa I can answer this for you Neysa, I like to share the easy way to figure it out :-) Let's make it easy, since you say she will need a lot (around 3 oz, since you say she has horrible burn scars, and I'm figuring there is a lot of area to cover), and just get 95 ml of the rosehipseed oil, and add 5 ml of heli to that. Voila, a 5% dilution. http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hey Deb, > y'all are so very good. i was wondering if you could help me > with something. with all the talk of sensitivity, i was wondering > if you could use helichrysum in 10% rosehip oil, neet? Technically, its not neat .. its a 10% dilution .. but I know what you mean. But it were me .. I'd prepare a 5% dilution by adding an equal amount of Rose Hip Seed (or whatever carrier) to the dilution I had .. that'll bring you to a 5% dilution. And y need to state which Heli you are talking about. There is no answer for Helichrysum gymnocephalium as its not been formally tested. Helichrysum italicum has been tested at a 4% dilution with no irritation or sensitization .. and its not a known sensitizer. But then, neither is Lavandula angustifolia or Melaleuca alternifolia .. but folks have become sensitized from using them. A good rule of thumb when dealing with pets, spouses and essential oils is that even the most gentle ones can bite sometime. ;-P But .. Heli italicum is a rather costly oil .. and as its been proven effective at the 4% or so range .. especially with Rose Hip Seed .. why use more than you need .. and why waste your money? More is NOT better when dealing with Essential Oils .. its NEVER better. > some times it takes me a bit and after applying it neet, i thought > about this. my husband has a heel spore and i thought i'd try it > mixed with black pepper oil and vitamin E oil. it seems to be working > wonders for him and he's decided that i need to rub his feet every night > with this. he is a mail carrier and his route is 13 miles long. of course, > who wouldn't want their feet rubbed after a walk like that! > deb c > *i see that i've wrote heel spore, i mean spur. LOL* I'll bet your husband is in great shape .. good for him. And .. I bet he can confirm the first two rules of thumb above already .. no need to have him learn that the third one is also accurate. ;-) Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
