Re: Personality Patterns & EOs

[Guest guest]

,

I think there may be one dangerous side effect to one's personality

when using essential oils: becomign emotionally attached to them and

obsessingly wanting to find and experience more!

(this may have a serious effect on one's economic situation as well

LOL)!

Now responding a bit more seriously to the topic:

I think some oils are known to have a reverse effect when use in

different quantities. i.e.: patchouli in the right amoutn will be an

aphrodisiac, but in large quantities will actually do the reverse, as

well as decrease apetite and cause nausea.

However, I will challenge your theory because from my experience and

knowledge of homeopathy (I went to manhy homeopathic treatments since

I was very young child), it uses very minute amounts of the

actural " material " , almost to the point where statistically there may

not be any molecule of the material that originally was used int he

remedy.

You may be right about it, but from my experience with essential

oils, most people who use them are very sensitive to their own

emotions, and use them carefully. I can't imagine somebody sniffing

oils till they have a negative effect on them without noticing it...

I honestly feel that perfumery has such as positive effect on one's

life I can't see it affecting peronality negatively (except for

obsessiveness LOL...). Perufmery adds so much depth and beauty to

one's life that as long as you use them safely and in a well

ventilated area - I doubt there is any danger to your personality

except for transformation due to becomgin more aware to your feelings

and tuned in to your deeper self.

Just had to laugh about homeopathy! I'm deadly allergic to poison ivy. An old

mountain man told me to eat the first growth of an ivy leaf in spring, just

about the size of my little fingernail. He knows what it does to the outside of

my body, can't even begin to imagine what it would do to the inside!! Also asked

him if I should ingest it right outside the emergency room door!!

You are correct, homeopathic remedies [the constitutional strengths

at least] are diluted far beyond any molecules of the physical

material left -- all that is left is the energy. A " memory " of what

it was. It helps me to think of it like magnetism. You can create a

magnet out of metal by rubbing another magnet against it. That is

how I think of remedies, the process of making them " magnetizes " the

mother tincture and that is passed to the actual remedy.

But what I don't believe is that homeopathy is the only practice

where energy is at work. I believe there are other principals

undiscovered that work in a similar fashion to homeopathic principals.

All forms of energy work have that in common -- acupuncture, reiki,

shiatsu, etc. Principals of energy work that are working along laws

we may not understand yet.

It could be that the cumulative effect is so subtle that the person

themself isn't aware of it. I'm not talking about " smell this " and

then bite someone's head off. I'm talking about the general

constitution of the person as a whole, evolving over time in response

to the exposure to certain oils.

Or maybe it's the opposite. Maybe certain personalities are just

attracted to certain scents...like the snide person being drawn to

lavender or something. I don't know. It was just a theory that

popped into my head. But then I tend to see patterns to things that

others are not aware of...they are often not logical but more of a

feeling about something.

Judy--one serious remedy to poison ivy deals with goat's milk. Goats

love poison ivy, and will eat it whenever it's available. If you

drink small amounts of this milk, increasing the amount over a few

months, you can build your immune system with it. This is an old

folks' remedy which has been shown to have merit, I believe.

However, talk to your doctor prior to taking any action about this,

your allergy may be based on a different response than normal, ok?
