I always suggest using herbs in whole form rather than e-oils as

first line treatment as the oils are the most concentrated form of

the herb and much harder on the body and some are quite toxic such

as pennyroyal for example. I get a little upset that companies send

out people often with no training in herbs other than what they tell

them to hawk their wares. Unless you've had good training with e-

oils you could end up hurting your patient rather than helping

them. I also try to use herbs that are much easier to get than

something exotic someone else has used. If it is the heat removing

part of the herb that is helping her maybe yin chao instead. I've

been amazed at some of my clients I give it to them for their cold

and they share with a friend(something I don't encourage but it

happens) and wow the friend with migraines suddenly gets rid of

headaches they've had for years. I make some great bath salts you

can put your e-oil into and see if it works that way too a little

safer way to administer. You take a bag of epsom salts, a cup of

sea salt or big kosher salt, a cup of baking soda and a 1/2 cup of

borax mix together and add the e-oils you want either mix into the

mixture itself or drop the oils into the bath midway during the

filling(more powerful).

 

Feverfew is a great headache herb and easy to get. You have to use

it for a couple of weeks before you get good benefits sometimes and

the fresh leaf works better. I would try that first.

 

We have great tools in chinese herbs and I get nervous trying odd

things because I'm not getting my diagnosis right and not helping my

client. I have sent someone to a more experienced practitioner in

town rather than try stuff I'm not familiar with or push the limits

of what I know. Even medical docs get second opinions if regular

stuff doesn't work. I'm a 5element person and tend to try to figure

out why normal stuff is not working for me before jumping to

something out of my experience. There is always room for something

new but I would rather learn a new TCM herb or points than try to be

an expert at everything. I'd rather refer to the practitioner who

using that form of herb and has training in it than handle it myself

and get into trouble. First rule in medicine is do no harm and

thats why I don't give my clients internal e-oils.
