Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 I totally agree with valerian - I had a CO2 sample sent to me and I brought it to my ATx teacher and class...we all agreed it smelt like your nose was up a cow's a**!!! Not only that, the drop of valerian on a smelling strip we passed around was so bad, we tried to mask it with other oils - to no avail. We finally put it in a covered garbage can, and had to get it out of the room! I felt sorry for the janitor! Neem oil stinks too! Guess that's why it keeps the bugs away! But I really like lime - differences in noses, eh? Blessings, Doreen - Marge Clark Friday, June 04, 2004 5:43 PM Re:WORST blen.

I also think Ledum has an awful smell, along with Cistus, Tarragon, Niaouli, Manuka, and Oakmoss. So my WORST blend would be equal parts of them in Sesame oil. However, I do use all of them in blends, usually in minute quantities. As for an oil that I simply despise the smell of and many others love, it's Wintergreen. Sandi Thompson, R.A.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 I agree with the wintergreen...everytime I smell it I think of the pink stomach remedy.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Put some neem oil with all the others, maybe as a carrier?
