Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Wow, what a windfall. Sure you can use them in soap. _www.naturesgift.com_ (http://www.naturesgift.com) has excellent information on how to use essential oils. I myself would scratch the wintergreen, from what I've read it's toxic and would not want to mess with it. I have no idea what the weight amounts are, but you are very lucky. The above site will give lots of well researched info. in Cambridge Here is the list: Basil, Clary Sage Marjoram Rosewood Thyme Hyssop Wintergreen Bergamot Juniperberry Cinnamon Clove Nutmeg Camphor white Sweet Fennel Aniseed Cajeput I don't even know what some of these are.......... and one heavenly 5 kg unopened bottle of Patchouli FO. and 200 new 25 ml essential oil bottles !!!!!! If I can't use them in soaps and lotions, please, please tell me............ what can I use them for ? Hugs and blessings, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 ,you lucky thing! You'll need to buy yourself a book; there are many inexpensive ones that give a brief description of each EO. Rosewood is heavenly in potpourri - smells like rose but much cheaper. Thyme doesn't smell real good, but I use it in a disinfectant room spray that goes on all the light switches and doorknobs when someone in the house is sick. Clary sage I use in a room spray as well - along with lavender as a stress reliever! Juniper is great in a bath product and helps sore muscles. Sweet fennel is a good one to put in a facial product - like a toner. I use basil in a spray to increase attention - mainly used in my office while at the computer! Oh, my are you going to have some fun learning about these! Sagescript Institute, LLC Microbiology Assays, Health Education http://www.sagescript.com > > Hi friends, > I need some advice please.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I need some advice please. As you know, I know very little about essential > oils, that is why I mostly use FO's in my soaps and lotions etc. - it's the same as using fo's. Just pour and sniff. If one acts up, make a note of it, and pour earlier in trace next time. Same as you would fo use. Some are stronger, some are lighter. Sniff and see if it needs more. (or less) Hold 2 bottles next to your nose to see if they smell good together. I do fo and eo the same, for me, I do a tablespoon and see how that goes. You have the good fortune to expand your knowlege due to her generous gift! I'm sad for her that she's closing shop, tho. It's hard to make a living at art. > > Hi friends, > I need some advice please.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 , You are one lucky lady. If I had that much clary sage oil, I'd think I was in heaven. Is the cinnamon from the leaf or from the bark? That one can be very caustic. 's right.... you need to know what they are all for, and which ones can cause problems.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Hi Joyce, many thanks for your help. Yes, it is sad that she is giving up her business.
