Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Hiya Jeanine That is some cool info to find out about the plant that inspired the name of your company! I haven't smelled the blue lotus personally so I can't comment on that one, but I do believe it was list mate Bill who tossed out the idea of doing a co-op on blue lotus .. Bill, are you out there .. was it you? *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com David and Jeanine Moss [dhm.jac] Hi Chris, I have recently watched the most amazing programme on the History Channel, it was called Mysteries of Egypt :Sex, Death and the Blue Lotus. It was amazing how scientists took samples from the Blue Lotus plants growing in Kew Gardens in England, slivers from the 2000 year old tomb of a 50 year old concubine and compared them through DNA with the gingko bilboa plant. There were many similar properties, (as well as a strong Viagra effect) and it provewd the importance of the blue lotus at that time. One of the first Australian Aromatherapy conferences had John Steele telling the story of the Blue Lotus and it very interesting reading. I am sure I read on a list, and I think it was this one, that some one was keen to have a co-op buy some Blue Lotus essential oil. I had no idea about the historical importance of this oil when I started my aromatherapy business, which is incidentally called Blue Lotus Aromatherapy. Even if someone has smelled it, could they please describe the aroma.... Regards Jeanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
