Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi Marsha, > Hi Ilana, > Wintergreen is Great for the Joints. > I often use it with Cypress (for circulation) and Marjoram (for > muscles) on my knees. Helps the pain when arthritus starts. It works .. but all that works is not good for us. Coke and smoking rope works (I am told) though I don't approve of them. But likely it is that if one's heart is sound they would not be any more harmful to a person than would be Wintergreen and/or Sweet Birch .. IF .. the liver is not as sound as it should be. A post on that in a minute .. from this list .. back in December 2002 .. one of many I have made on this. I am strongly against frequent use of either of the above. I don't sell them .. there are safer substitutes. > As for Pregnant ladies.. > I think it'd be safe in soap (not enough volume). Wintergreen should not be used by pregnant ladies even in soap .. IF they intend to sit and soak in the tub. Otherwise, soaps are not a problem as they rinse off quickly. > The oils I'd avoid would be any that would start detoxify and send > anything bad to the baby when pregnant or nursing. Won't disagree at all .. but generally folks are too general when they discuss this subject .. that is, generally speaking. ;-) A post is coming on that too. :-) > Marsha Y'all keep smiling.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi Butch... I don't use synthetic oils. Only the pure stuff... so I stand by what I said. Guess you all don't mind the adulterated and synthetic oils. I choose not to use them and will pay the extra money because i believe in QUALITY not QUANTITY.
