Carrot
Seed Essential Oil Carrot Seed
primarily works to support the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and skin.
It is used in many anti-aging skin formulas, as it contains strong
regenerative properties. Carrot Seed can help promote healthy levels
of hemoglobin in the blood. It is a great anti-inflammatory agent,
and blends well with Helichrysum. Refreshing and stimulating. Active. Clearing and comforting. Great in skin care (revitalizing and toning) and considered one of the best Essential Oils for Mature Skin. The oil is often employed orally for regeneration of liver tissue. One drop taken daily is the recommended protocol; this may be particularly useful during a period of dietary restriction as part of an overall liver cleansing program. In 'Aromatherapy Scent and Psyche', Peter Damian notes: "Diuretic and hepatic, carrot seed operates as a kidney and liver cleanser, particularly indicated for jaundice and hepatitis. Its detoxifying properties are likewise effective for treating arthritis and rheumatism." Carrot seed is a premier skin healing oil, regularly included in blends for dry and mature skin. The oil's high carotol content gives it its skin-rejuvenative properties. It can be added to nearly any skin care blend to enhance its effectiveness. Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt recommends the following blend for "dull, pallid skin, lifeless and tired from environmental stress...It is based on the regenerating, stimulating qualities of Carrot Seed"- Carrot Seed oil: .5ml, Lemon Verbena: .5ml, Niaouli: .5ml, Rosemary Verbenone: .5ml, based in 50ml of Hazelnut oil. Carrot seed will also blend well with Helichrysum and Rosemary Verbenone with Rosehip Seed for skin healing. Further, carrot seed oil is said to balance both dry and oily complexions. Small amounts would go nicely in almost any skin care blend, and could be used alone in a neutral base cream. Carrot seed is also said to rejuvenate the energy of the solar plexus, and to be relieving of fatigue. It is also regularly indicated as a digestive tonic. Suggested Use: Add 6-12 drops of Ancient Legacy's Dry Skin or Mature Skin Blends (which contain Carrot Seed) to 1oz. of unscented body care product. This could be a lotion, massage oil or simply a plant oil (Carrier Oil). Use on the skin in a carrier, alone or included with other essential oils. Blend as a natural perfume. Recommended by some natural health professionals taken internally, one drop per day during liver cleansing. Carrot seed oil may help with conditions of dry and mature skin, jaundice, hepatitis and other symptoms of a toxic liver. Chemical composition The main chemical constituents of carrot seed oil include a-pinene, camphene, b-pinene, sabinene, myrcene, y-terpinene, limonene, b-bisabolene, geranyl acetate and carotol. Blends Well With: Great with citrus and evergreen type oils, Frankincense, Lavender, Rosewood, Blue Cypress, Geranium etc. Safety: Carrot Seed oil is not distilled from our regular carrot plant, but from its ancestor. Carrot oil appearing on a cosmetics label could also mean on oily extract of the common carrot, or Tagetes oil, which is sometimes called "carrot oil" for no good reason. Its in your skin's best interest that "carrot oil" be "carrot seed oil". Non-toxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing. Always test a small amount of essential oil first for sensitivity or allergic reaction. If pregnant, use under a doctor's care. |

Suggested Use When using Ginger in skincare, please keep in mind that this is a hot and spicy oil - great for warming the tissue and many healing applications - but also prone to causing irritation when used in high concentrations. Adding a Ginger-type blend to a warm bath brings welcome stimulation to sore, stiff and overworked muscles. In order to prevent the oils from floating on the surface, blend the Essential Oil with some Half & Half, honey, vinegar or Ancient Legacy's Coconut Emulsifier before adding it to the water. Ginger Essential Oil is great to replace powdered ginger in the kitchen. For example, try making your own 'gingerbread honey' or syrup, and adding it to tea or desserts. This is not only delicious but helps to soothe the stomach as well. The following is a wonderful recipe for such a honey, great also for a homemade gift. To 2oz. of maple syrup or honey, add: * 3 drops Ginger
Essential Oil For an easy version, blend one drop of Ginger Oil with a teaspoon of honey and enjoy with a steaming hot cup of tea; great for an upset stomach or to fight the onset of a cold or flu. For support of the resperatory system, ginger oil can be used as part of a chest rub blend, in a bath, or in hot tea. Ginger is also noted as a sexual tonic - Women in Senegal weave ginger root in the belts of their mates to increase sexual potency. For stomach upset, add a few drops of Ginger oil to warm water and drink slowly. Rub on temples and stomach for motion sickness. Also may be used in a diffuser to bring energy to a room. Chemical composition The essential oil has various chemical constituents including the following: a-pinene, camphene, b-pinene, 1,8-cineole, linalool, borneol, y-terpineol, nerol, neral, geraniol, geranial, geranyl acetate, b-bisabolene and zingiberene.

Pink
Grapefruit Essential Oil Grapefruit essential oil has a sharp refreshing smell and is pale yellow in color. The viscosity is watery. Fruity, bitter citrus scent, reminiscent of the peel of the fruit. Red Grapefruit has a unique flavor that is more refined and"yummy"than that of White Grapefruit. Cleansing and satisfying. Popular oil to help with weight loss. Stimulating and refreshing, uplifting and nourishing positive emotions. Grapefruit's aroma inspires and clears the mind. Citrus oils help to eliminate emotional confusion and increase ones sense of humor and well-being. Grapefruit essential oil is cold-pressed from the rind of ripe grapefruit. It is a yellow liquid with a fresh, sweet citrus aroma, considered uplifting and refreshing. Like essential oil of Lemon, grapefruit is cooling, cleansing, and decongestive, and can be beneficial for an overheated liver and sluggish lymph system. Further, the pleasing aroma has laboratory-confirmed appetite reducing effects. Like many of the citrus oils, it has a unique 'fat dissolving' characteristic. This is the essential oil most noted for use in reducing cellulite, (it can be used by itself, or in a carrier and massaged into those areas) and can be included in massage blends for this application. It has been shown in laboratory studies to increase the metabolism of adipose tissue (fat cells, and specifically 'brown' fat cells.) It is also very useful for cleansing oily skin and helping with acne due to its astringent nature. Key natural constituents of the oil are Limonene and Myrcene. Grapefruit oil may also be helpful with rheumatic conditions where the joints feel warm and swollen, and a burning sensation accompanies the pain. On psychological and emotional levels, grapefruit is noted to assist in cases of depression where one may tend to overindulge in food or chemicals to pacify their pain. The oil may clear the psychological 'heat' and congestion that result from self-criticism and blame, promoting a lightness of spirit. In aromatherapy applications, grapefruit is refreshing, cheering, slightly euphoria-inducing and slightly energizing. Grapefruit's sweet and familiar aroma can evoke warm feelings that melt sour dispositions. Grapefruit essential oil is a "releasing" oil -- so personalities that tend to harbor resentment or keep emotions bottled up can benefit from inhaling this oil. When peeling a citrus fruit, you may experience the Essential Oil freely spraying from the peel when applying pressure. Squirting the Essential Oil into a candle flame is a nice winter activity that fascinates children (and those that remained young) for long periods of time Before the juice of citrus fruits is processed, the peel of the fruits are carefully removed and the Essential Oil extracted from the glands contained in the outer layer of the peel. This is the process behind the term "cold pressed" and it is obvious that any chemical deposits applied to the skin of the fruit during conventional farming may leech into the oil. If you are using citrus Essential Oil for skin care or cooking, we strongly recommend our certified organic citrus Essential Oils. Antiseptic, antitoxic, diuretic, stimulant ( lymphatic, digestive), tonic. Astringent, antibacterial, antidepressant. Suggested Use: For and emotional
'release' blend, try this in a diffuser or diluted in a carrier
oil and applied topically: 18 drops Grapefruit, 1 drop Bergamot
oil, 1 drop Rose Otto. Use a few drops in a diffuser to freshen the aroma climate of your home. Sniff directly from the bottle to curb appetite. Has been used to treat acne, congested and oily skin, cellulites and obesity, lifts depression and aids in cases of nervous exhaustion and stress. Employed as a fragrance component in soaps, detergents, cosmetics and perfumes. It can be used to treat coughs, colds and anorexia and headaches. Add to shower gel and gently brush the areas you want to firm before rinsing, or add to lotion or massage oil for a stimulating massage. Chemical composition The main chemical components are a-pinene, sabinene, myrcene, limonene, geraniol, linalool, citronellal, decyl acetate, neryl acetate and terpinen-4-ol. Blends Well
With Safety Use in low concentration in skin care since some individuals may react sensitive. Avoid exposing the skin to direct sunlight after using this oil in skin care – phototoxic effect possible, though less likely than with other citrus oils. Citrus Essential Oils are among the few Essential Oils with a limited shelf life. Keep your citrus oils away from heat and direct sunlight, and in tightly closed containers; your fridge would be great! Try using them within 6 months of purchase. Older oils may not be appropriate for medicinal or skin care purposes, but can still add citrus-power to a diffuser blend. |

Helichrysum
Essential Oil helichrysum italicum - Corsica [France] This sharply scented oil has a reputation as an excellent cell regenerator and helps to reduce the formation of scar tissue. It contains antiseptic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial compounds. Helichrysum stimulates the circulatory and digestive systems (detoxification and cleansing), yet calms the respiratory system, and supports the immune and structural systems. This oil is exceptional for calming nerves, supporting circulation and healthy skin. Rather powerful and green at first; very medicinal. It soon transforms into a very soothing, pleasant and subtle aroma, somewhat honey-like. The potency and incredible fragrancing power of this Essential Oil make it a great investment, even though it is one of the pricier oils. If you find it hard to dose the pure oil correctly (it is incredibly strong and intense!), or shy away from the cost, start with Essential Oils blended with Jojoba Oil, classified as"i/J"("in Jojoba"). Helichrysum, also known as Everlasting Essential Oil or Immortelle, has been studied in Europe for regeneration of nerves, improving skin conditions, and reducing inflammation while speeding healing. Aromatically, it is thought to open the heart and clear old emotional wounds. It is considered one of the most important essential oils in aromatherapy, and our customers seem to think so too. We get many folks calling back for more of this oil, proclaiming the results they've had were so profound. Suggested
Use Helichrysum oil has superb regenerating qualities and can assist in the healing of scars, acne, dermatitis, stretch marks, boils and abscesses. Folk medicine also presents this as a great boon for healing scars and fighting the ravages of aging. It aids the digestive system, reducing liver and spleen congestion. * Vapor therapy
or used in a bath For burns, apply undiluted as soon as possible for immediate relief - only 1-3 drops are necessary. For impact-type injuries, apply undiluted immediately to prevent initial swelling and reduce healing time; use enough to cover the area in a thin layer (this is often only a few drops). Same for 'twists' (an ankle, for example). Repeat application again in 30 minutes if you think it's necessary. When using undiluted, just put your index finger on the top of the bottle (for 5 and 12ml bottles, otherwise dispense drop by drop using an eyedropper) and invert the bottle ~ then apply from your fingertip. We have had many reports of successful application to sports injuries and the like, with rapid healing and minimal downtime. For older injuries (more than a few hours) it has been suggested to use diluted in any carrier oil. We personally use Jojoba most of the time, though any carrier will work. The dilution is a matter of personal preference, though we keep a bottle of 20% Helichrysum on-hand (this is 6ml in 24ml carrier oil, to fill a one-ounce glass bottle). We use this for sports injuries and pain like backaches, stiff joints and the like. For neck pain, we sometimes will use at full strength. For many users, relief is reported as nearly immediate (though this depends on how deep within the body the damage tissues are and how old the injury might be) and more profound than products which simply mask the pain. For further support for inflamed areas, 1% German Chamomile can be included. Helichrysum is the only essential oil found to contain certain di-ketones, which may support wound healing and scar reduction. It is suitable for wound healing and for scars, resulting either from accidents, surgery or acne. It may be especially effective when combined with Rose Hip Seed oil. The triple unsaturated fatty acids may strengthen the cell membranes and, combined with the regenerative qualities of Everlasting, can heal wounds with little or no scarring. The following combination is suggested Schnaubelt's 'Advanced Aromatherapy': 2ml Helichrysum essential oil and 1ml Sea Buckthorn essential oil in 15ml Rose Hip Seed Oil and 15ml Tamanu oil; for 'old' scars, use 2ml Helichrysum, 1ml Sea Buckthorn, and 1ml Sage OR Rosemary Verbenone essential oil in the same base. We also highly recommend Calendula essential oil for wound healing; there is a large body of scientific evidence this oil has strong tissue healing properties, and should synergize excellently with Helichrysum. Helichrysum oil may provide relief of joint pain for individuals with arthritic conditions, with potential significant anti-inflammatory action. Many folks use if for general stiff, painful and tight musculature as well. A recent customer had this to say about this oil: "Just a note of thanks for the speedy delivery and the great product. You can add TMJ/facial pain to uses list...which is how I've been using it. I mixed the 5ml bottle in a 2oz bottle of organic jojoba and am applying to TMJ muscles and neck (also chest)...also have experienced many interesting spirit/emotional 'releases'...this stuff works wonders". Helichrysum may be of support for peripheral nerve-related conditions; it can be applied in 5-20% dilution to areas of numbness or tingling. It has been indicated by some users for support with symptoms of tinnitus: drop on a cotton ball, placed in the ear while sleeping each night for two weeks) and other forms of hearing loss or damage. This essential oil contains anti-inflammatory sesquiterpene hydrocarbons - this compound acts by dissipating free radicals. Helichrysum essential oil's other major components include neryl acetate, a monoterpenoid ester with distinct, relaxing effects that may reduce tension of the tissues in the area of the injury. The third major component are the regenerative di-ketones, found in significant quantities only in Helichrysum oil. "The pain- reducing, analgesic, and regenerative effect of everlasting (Helichrysum) is unique: If applied in time, it prevents hemorrhaging. It is also very effective for joint pain..." - Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt, Advanced Aromatherapy. The oil is also thought to be a strong chelator, supporting liver function and potentially drawing heavy metals and toxins out of the body. It is noted as one of, if not THE, most effective detoxification supporting essential oils by Batagglia in 'The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy'. A strong dilution can be used (1:1 in coconut oil, for example) and massaged twice per day into the feet. The reflex points of the feet corresponding to the liver may be of greatest help in this process. The aroma is thought to uplift the subconscious, and can be used in a diffuser if desired. It is thought to be a releaser of Qi (Chi), unblocking and regulating this essential energy in the body. It may help individuals that are emotionally blocked, dispersing more deeply embedded repression. At its most transformative, Helichrysum oil may assist in untying the deepest of emotional knots, restoring freedom and compassion to the eternal soul. blends well Chemical composition

Jasmine
Essential Oil Jasmine essential oil has a sweet, exotic and richly floral smell. It is a valuable remedy in cases of severe depression and soothes the nerves, producing a feeling of confidence, optimism and euphoria, while revitalizing and restoring energy. Jasmine oil may be beneficial for dry, greasy, or oily skin. It may help with eczema when caused by stress, frigidity, labor pains, laryngitis, lethargy, menstrual pain and problems. The therapeutic properties of jasmine oil are anti-depressant, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, anti-spasmodic, cicatrisant, expectorant, galactagogue, parturient, sedative and uterine. Floral, rich, sweet and warm, exquisitely exotic and graceful. Some describe it as"tea-like", and its dried flowers are used to flavor black tea. Jasmine is called the King of Flowers (Rose being the Queen), and indeed this is probably the most masculine of all the floral aromas, especially the Jasmine Sambac, which is more musky, spicy, mysterious and exotic than the Jasmine grandiflorium. Jasmine grandiflorium is softer, more gentle and floral. Jasmine grandiflorum is more widely known and is frequently found in gardens all over the world. It blooms in the early dawn, whereas Jasmine Sambac blooms at night. The potency and incredible fragrancing power of Jasmine Essential Oil make it a great investment, even though it is one of the pricier oils. If you find it hard to dose the pure oil correctly (it is incredibly strong and intense!), or shy away from the cost, start with Essential Oils blended with Jojoba Oil, classified as "i/J" ("in Jojoba"). Relaxing, intoxicating, warming. Great aphrodisiac, can help against depression, and can aid in finding restful sleep. Jasmine has a long tradition of being used in childbirth as a relaxing and supportive remedy. Jasmine is valued as a skin care ingredient for aiding dry, sensitive and irritated skin. It takes 8,000 carefully hand-picked blossoms to produce 1 gram (about 1 ml.) of Jasmine Absolute. An experienced picker can pick 10,000-15,000 blossoms per night. Flowers are picked in the early hours of dawn as they are unfolding, and attention has to be paid not to bruise or mishandle the flowers, since that would compromise the aroma. This is an expensive oil and is very potent. It is best to dilute before using; a little will go a long way. We like jojoba oil as a carrier for a true Jasmine essential oil perfume, or used in a blend of other oils. As a minor component it mixes well with most other oils, though we find it should be measured drop by drop, as Jasmine can easily overpower other aromas. Jasmine has
been nicknamed 'Queen of the Night' and 'Moonlight of the Grove';
for centuries, women have treasured it for its seductive, beautiful
fragrance. Jasmine oil is uplifting and stimulating for times of
hopelessness and nervous exhaustion. It helps reduce anxiety and
apathy, and can increase excitability when worn as a perfume. Suggested Use: Add a few drops to a diffuser for a relaxing, feminine aroma climate. Add 3 drops to a hot bath for a blissful retreat, mixing the oil with Ancient Legacy's Coconut Emulsifier or some Half & Half prior to blending it with the water (in order to prevent the oils from floating on the surface). Add up to 3 drops to 1oz. of Carrier Oil or unscented body care product. Alternatively, add up to 10 drops of Ancient Legacy's Bamboo Forest, Goddess or Feminine Balance Blends (which contain Jasmine) to 1oz. of unscented body care product. If you are purchasing this Essential Oil blended with Jojoba, increase the number of drops you add to your bodycare or bath according to your liking. You can use oils blended with Jojoba in a diffuser, but it is not recommended in diffusers that work with cotton pads - Car Diffuser, Scent Ball, Spa Scenter - or nebulizers. If using an aromalamp or Ancient Legacy's Aromashell it will leave an oily residue that can be washed away; but do not overheat the lamp dish! Diffuse Jasmine oil or apply topically - can be worn as a fragrance, but should be diluted in your favorite carrier oil to allow the aroma to be released over a longer period of time. Chemical composition There are well over 100 constituents found in jasmine oil, but the main chemical components are benzyl acetate, linalool, benzyl alcohol, indole, benzyl benzoate, cis-jasmone, geraniol, methyl anthranilate and trace amounts of p. cresol, farnesol, cis-3-hexenyl benzoate, eugenol, nerol, ceosol, benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, y-terpineol, nerolidol, isohytol, phytol etc Blends Well With: Most oils. Very suitable to make an aroma more round and completeTo create a romantic mood, try blending it with the other great aphrodisiacs - Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Rosewood, Patchouli, Vetiver, Rose etc. Also nice: Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin & Neroli. Lavender and Geranium, Frankincense and Clary Sage. safety No known toxicity. . Make sure you are not overdosing, since Jasmine is very strong and easily overpowering. GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) approved by the FDA as food flavor. Occasional skin sensitivity reported, do patch test first. Jasmine oil is non-toxic, non-irritant and generally non-sensitizing, although some people do have an allergic reaction to the oil. Due to its emmenagogue properties it should not be used in pregnancy. Using too much of this oil could impede concentration, as it is a deeply relaxing oil |

Lemon
Essential Oil Light, fresh citrus scent. Because of its color and its warm, cheerful energy, some people call Lemon Essential Oil"the sunshine oil". Refreshing and rejuvenating, its aroma inspires and brings fresh energy; clears the mind. Citrus oils help to eliminate emotional confusion and increase ones sense of humor and well-being. A study conducted with Lemon Oil found that typing errors were reduced when Lemon was diffused in the office. In moderation, Lemon is a popular and effective skin care ingredient for oily and inflamed skin. It is commonly used in the kitchen by adding Lemon rind to dishes (Lemon Essential Oil can replace dry Lemon rinds, but use very sparingly and from certified organic farming). It is also a popular ingredient in household cleaners because it smells clean and aids in the cleaning. The Lemon tree originates in Asia, but about 50 varieties are widely cultivated today. Popular flavoring agent and perfume ingredient. Indispensable in the kitchen. Antirheumatic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antitoxic, astringent, bactericidal, carminative, diaphoretic, diuretic, digestive, sedative, antibiotic, febrifuge, hemostatic, insecticide, tonic, vermifuge, Lemon oil's aroma is warming, enhancing and invigorating, and studies have shown it to have antidepressant effects. Lemon oil apparently has a significant effect on one's ability to concentrate: During a university study in Japan, various essential oils were diffused into an office. When Lemon Essential Oil was diffused, 54% fewer errors were made, with Jasmine Oil, 33% fewer errors, and with Lavender Oil, 20% fewer. Diffusion of essential oils was found to increase test scores by up to 50% when diffused into study and test-taking areas. In addition to its uplifting and clarifying nature, emotionally, lemon is considered an opener of the heart. It is said to alleviate fears of losing oneself, bringing trust and security. Lemon essential oil has been shown to eliminate many types of bacteria, and may be the most effective oil for disinfecting a room using a diffuser. It is often used in disinfecting blends with other antibacterial oils - what makes lemon oil particularly pleasing for this use is that its antiseptic properties are present with a lovely aroma. Lemon is a great modifier for medicinal-smelling oils like tea tree and eucalyptus. Lemon works synergistically on a therapeutic, aesthetic and emotional level. This is very important when working with blends containing strongly medicinal oils, which may have a tendency to produce a negative aesthetic or emotional effect in aroma-sensitive people. In many European countries, the oil is considered somewhat of a 'cure all', particularly with infectious illness. Lemon also serves well as an insect repellent, alone or in blends Suggested

Lemongrass
Essential Oil Light, fresh citrus scent with earthy notes. Refreshing and rejuvenating. Stimulating and balancing. Its aroma inspires and brings fresh energy; clears the mind. Popular skin care ingredient for oily, mature and inflamed skin (in moderation). Also popular in Asian cuisine, and Lemongrass Essential Oil can replace dried Lemongrass in the kitchen, but use very sparingly because the oil is much more concentrated. Lemongrass is frequently used to substitute much more expensive Essential Oils, such as Lemon Verbena or Melissa officinalis, this is likely the reason why it is one of the 10 best-selling Essential oils in the world. Commonly used in place of Lemon Verbena and Melissa for economic reasons Lemongrass essential oil has been used to support digestion, purification and regeneration of tissues. Lemongrass may be one of the most therapeutic, all-around anti-microbial essential oils available, with other important actions that support the immune system. Lemongrass oil may help improve circulation, digestion, and eyesight, while combating headaches, infections and fluid retention. Spiritually, the aroma of Lemongrass oil is thought to promote psychic awareness and purification. Lemongrass has been employed in traditional Indian medicine for infectious illness and fever. Modern research carried out in India shows that it may also act as a sedative on the central nervous system. Lemongrass has recently been the subject of numerous scientific investigations examining its potential use as an anti-cancer agent. Frankincense and lemongrass are the two essential oils with the largest bodies of research in this field. Lemongrass essential oil has also been shown to be a potent and important antibacterial agent. In a study published in 'Letters in Applied Microbiology', essential oil vapors (what one would create through using a nebulizing diffuser, essential oils of Geranium and Lemongrass were shown effective even against MRSA bacteria. This may prove useful in hospital settings where such bacteria have become resistant against conventional antibiotics. Due to its interaction with the immune system, and broad-spectrum anti-microbial action, diffuser use of Lemongrass may be an excellent means of 'disinfecting the air' in one's home or office. Further, lemongrass essential oil has also been studied as an antifungal agent against Candida -- a naturally occurring fungus in our bodies which can 'overgrow' due to dietary imbalances (possibly too high a sugar intake), resulting in vaginal irritation, rashes (particularly on the feet) and the like. Topical application may be best to utilize these properties, in a 5-10% dilution in any carrier oil. Lemongrass is also used a mosquito repellent, and has been the subject of many studies investigating this use. Lemongrass can be highly effective, especially when combined with other oils often used for this purpose, such as Geranium, Lemon Tea Tree and Citronella. These oils can be combined in topical formulas (with a total essential oil concentration up to 15%) or even used in a diffuser for this purpose.

Myrrh
Essential Oil commiphora myrrha - Ethiopia Myrrh is distilled from the famous biblical resin used for embalming. It is remarkably effective for emotional and respiratory needs. Myrrh essential oil is produced from resin extracted from the Myrrh tree (or shrub) found in the Middle East. The trunk of the Myrrh tree yields a natural oleoresin when pierced, and the pale yellow liquid hardens into reddish-brown drops known as Myrrh (the tree remains healthy after harvest). The oil is a pale yellow/amber oily liquid with a warm, sweet-balsamic, slightly spicy-medicinal scent. Myrrh's first medicinal use was documented some 3700 years ago. Myrrh essential oil is highly prized for its healing and spiritual powers; the oil has one of the highest sesquiterpene contents - a compound which can directly affect the hypothalamus, pituitary and amygdaline. Myrrh oil alone, or in combination with Sandalwood and Frankincense can be used to anoint the 'third eye' as a meditation or yoga aid. The aroma of Myrrh essential can be uplifting and assist in spiritual opening - like Frankincense oil, Myrrh's effect on the central nervous system is a gentle and calming one, able to instill a deep tranquility of the mind. Anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antimicrobial, antiphlogistic, antiseptic, astringent, expectorant, sedative, uterine tonic. As an ancient 'esoteric' magical herb, Myrrh is said to bridge Heaven and Earth, strengthening the connection between our crown and base chakras. This may allow the manifestation of dreams into this earthly realm. As a 'Funeral' herb, Myrrh is said to ease grief and heal emotional wounds, bringing peace and calm. Its extraction from the solitary tree in the desert represents strength in harsh conditions. Myrrh oil is found today in many oral hygiene products, being anti-infectious, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory. It has been said to be one of the best treatments for mouth ulcers. Myrrh Oil may also have hormone like properties, and could be helpful in treating the absence of menstrual periods outside of pregnancy. One of the oldest known perfumery materials, already in use as an incense and embalming ingredient in ancient Egypt Used for centuries as a fixative and fragrance component, and as an astringent in oral care. From the same botanical family as Frankincense and Elemi. Suggested

Neroli
Essential Oil Neroli essential oil is a very precious oil produced from blossoms of the Bitter Orange tree. These blossoms are small, white and very fragrant. Our Neroli Oil is steam distilled, not solvent extracted. The high cost is a result of requiring 1 ton of orange blossoms to produce 1 quart of oil. Neroli is named after Anna Maria de La Tremoille, Princess of Nerola (we're not making this up!) who first introduced the fragrance to Italy. Neroli oil is a plant oil similar in scent to bergamot produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara or Bigaradia). Used in aromatherapy and massage, Neroli is considered to have a soothing effect on the nervous system. Traditionally, neroli oil was used not only to relieve tension and anxiety, but also in increase circulation and heal thread vein scars. The essential oil is both a sedative and overall tonic to the nervous system, and can be beneficial for most stress-related disorders of an emotional origin. The oil has been said to treat heart palpitations, relieve insomnia and reduce nervousness. Neroli's calming effect can be tried by deeply inhaling the aroma, rubbing a few drops on the solar plexus, diluting in Jojoba oil and wearing as a natural perfume, or diffusing in small amounts. Neroli is considered one of the most important aromatics for aromatherapy treatment for anxiety, and depression resulting from stress and anxiety. Neroli is one of the premier oils for mature women's skin care (along with Rose Otto and Clary Sage). The relaxing properties are imparted on a cellular level, and the oil is especially beneficial for sensitive skin. Salvatore Battaglia notes in The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy: "The oil is reputed to have a rejuvenating effect on the skin, as it has an ability to stimulate the growth of new and healthy cells". Neroli essential oil has been noted as a tonic for the female reproductive system, for relief of menstrual cramps - add to a bath or dilute to 10% in Apricot Kernel Oil and massage into the abdomen. The anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-spasmodic properties of Neroli oil make it possibly supportive for intestinal disorders. Again, use in a bath or dilute and massage into the abdomen. Abdominal massage with Neroli may be most effective when the stomach trouble is the result of stress. The aroma of Neroli has been reported to successfully treat nervous depression and shock; it is relaxing to the body and spirit, and may bring relief in seemingly hopeless situations. The essential 0il used in a diffuser or burner can enhance the ambiance of a room, bringing an air of tranquility and relaxation. Suggested use Add up to 6 drops to 1oz. of Carrier Oil or unscented body care product. Alternatively, add up to 10 drops of Ancient Legacy's Dry Skin or Sensitive Skin Blends (which contain Neroli) to 1oz. of unscented body care product.

Niaouli
Essential Oil Australian Aborigines have used Tea Tree and related plants since the beginning of time. They welcomed and saved the crew of Sir Francis from scurvy and exhaustion with a tea brewed from its leaves - hence the name. Niaouli is a
relative of Tea Tree and contains many similar benefits. Very strong and medicinal smelling. Spicy-camphorous, warm scent. The properties of Niaouli are very similar to Tea Tree but the aroma is softer, sweeter, and to many people more pleasant. A great substitute if you have trouble liking the scent of Tea Tree. Medicinal, stimulating, purifying. Niaouli has been noted by Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt as an excellent general immune system booster, and an agent to help one with allergic reactions. His protocol is the application of 5-20 drops of oil directly to the skin after a shower, for best absorption. Niaouli oil is considered an analgesic, antiseptic, bactericide, cicatrisant, insecticide, decongestant and vermifuge. Its aroma is stimulating and uplifting; it clears the head and may aid in concentration. Niaouli oil is considered an excellent antiseptic for treating pulmonary infections such as bronchitis and sinusitis. For respiratory problems blends well with Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Pine, Myrtle, and Ravensara (another favorite for respiratory infections). Niaouli may be used in place of Tea Tree oil when the smell of Tea Tree is found objectionable due to its somewhat medicinal aroma. The medicinal and aromatic properties of the two are considered similar, with Niaouli having a somewhat less harsh scent - and being more commonly used for respiratory conditions. Suggested Use Diffuse, dilute and apply topically. Add a few drops to a bowl of hot water and inhale - or simply saturate the face - for a purifying steam treatment. Apply to acne with a tissue or cotton swab 2-3 times a day.Please refer to Aromatherapy literature for more detailed information on how to use this Essential Oil as a healing aid. Has traditionally been used as an anti-infectious and anti-bacterial. It is used locally for a wide variety of ailments, such as aches and pains, respiratory conditions, cuts and infections. Due to its powerful antiseptic qualities it's a good choice of oil to treat skin conditions such as acne, boils, burns, cuts, insect bites and other similar conditions. Used also for treating respiratory problems like asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, coughs and sore throats.

Patchouli
Essential Oil Patchouli has known anti-inflammatory properties, and is used to treat cracked, chapped, itchy, allergic, and inflamed skin. Patchouli is used extensively in the cosmetic industry in anti-wrinkle treatments. Patchouli has further been recognized as containing anti-toxin properties, making it favorable for treating insect and snake bites. In Japan and Malaysia, Patchouli is commonly used as an antidote to some poisonous snake bites. It can also be used as an anti-fungal and anti-dandruff (added to shampoo) agent. Most fabrics and carpets from India carry the scent of Patchouli leaves to repel moths and other critters. In the East it is also commonly used around the house because it is said to prevent disease and to release negative emotions, putting problems in proportion. Antiseptic, regenerative, deodorant.

The aroma can be rather crude when the oil is young and grows more refined with age, as it becomes a valued"vintage oil". The scent of Patchouli will linger longer than most other Essential Oils, and should be used sparingly. Patchouli oil is used as a base note and fixative in perfumery, being a component in many famous perfumes. As a fixative, it slows the evaporation of other, more volatile oils so that their aroma may be released over a longer period of time. A little can be used in natural perfume blends, adding that special deep and earthy aroma. It mixes well with many essential oils, with almost all common oils being mentioned across a variety of sources – these include Vetiver, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Bergamot, Cedarwood, Myrrh, Jasmine, Rose, Citrus oils, Clary Sage, Lemongrass, Geranium and Ginger. As a crop, the leaves of the plant are hand picked two or three times a year, with the best oil-producing plant being harvested in the wet season. Leaves are dried for three days and partially fermented before distillation of the oil. The oil has been used in India for years for medicinal purposes, but chiefly as an aphrodisiac and to perfume cloth. The aroma of Patchouli in homepsun cloth was so pervasive that garment makers importing their wares were obliged to scent their imitations for the local marketplace. Energetically, Patchouli oil is considered warm in nature. It may help ground and stabilize the the overanxious mind, bringing one back to one's body. Long considered an aphrodisiac, it may work through this relaxing, re-establishing connection to one's sensuality. The aroma may also uplift and work as an antidepressant for some, and has been considered to bring about a sense of spiritual nourishment. As if this were not enough, Patchouli is thought to be a bringer of prosperity and abundance. Perhaps by allowing one to open to these possibilities energetically, the oil is used in ceremonies and prayers by those in need of financial or other type of infusion in their lives. One may simply close their eyes, imagine the abundance they need, and inhale the oil’s aroma for a few seconds. The scent of the 60's; when increased interest and traveling in India and Eastern cultures introduced Patchouli to the West. However, many people who base their perception of Patchouli on memories of the 60's have never smelled high quality oil.

It has has been described as 'very beneficial for the skin and may help prevent wrinkles or chapped skin.' Also indicated as a vein tonic, and may be a digester of toxic material in the body. Great skin care ingredient and cell rejuvenator. Helps to find peace of mind and is a wonderful aphrodisiac. Also a good masking agent for unpleasant aromas.

is not sensitive. Patchouli oil has traditionally been used as a
tonic and stimulant; can be good for skin. Can offer support in

Mandarin Essential Oil Sometimes Mandarin Orange is listed as a synonym for Tangerine. The aromas however are distinctly different, with Tangerine being more candy-like and temperamen Although closely related, Mandarin Orange is rounder and softer in aroma than Tangerine. Refreshing and rejuvenating, its aroma inspires and brings fresh energy; clears the mind. Citrus oils help to eliminate emotional confusion and increase ones sense of humor and well-being. Very comforting, soothing and warming. In moderation, Mandarine Orange is an effective skin care ingredient, but avoid large concentrations due to potential phototoxic reactions. It can also be a great discovery in the kitchen; use very sparingly in sauces, dressings, pastries and desserts (we recommend certified organic Mandarin Orange for culinary uses). Mandarin is noted in France for being "the children's remedy", used much in the same way Roman Chamomile is suggested. Texts describe its use for both relieving stomach upset, and to sooth restless children (sometimes labeled 'hyperactive'). Kurt Schnaubelt notes in Advanced Aromatherapy: "The scent of mandarin is as sweet as candy. The presence of the highly sedative anthranilic acid ester makes this oil the first choice for use with children suffering from anxiety, nervousness, or stress. Mandarin oil can be taken internally and can be used to freshen indoor air." Mandarin essential oil is considered a general tonic for the digestive system. It can aid in the breakdown of fats through regulation of the bile. The oil may be taken internally in small amounts (1-3 drops), or massaged into the belly in a carrier oil (try a 3-5% dilution; about 20-30 drops per ounce of carrier). The essential oil is safe for use during pregnancy, and is actually often used in a massage blend for the prevention of stretch marks. Battaglia, in the Complete Guide to Aromatherapy, suggests blending with other oils with the same purpose such as Lavender and Neroli, in a carrier oil with essential fats, like Wheatgerm, Hemp and Evening Primose. Mandarin is also called for in cases of acne and oily skin in general, and can make a wonderful addition to an adolescent skin care formula (use Hazelnut as a carrier, and consider Spike Lavender and Myrtle as well). Suggested Uses Diffuse or apply
topically; can be taken internally - one to two drops at any one
time.Traditionally has been used for soothing children, supporting
digestion, preventing stretch marks, and for care of oily skin.
Can be supportive in cases of anxiety and nervousness. May help
improve appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. Try making your own 'gingerbread honey' or syrup, and adding it to tea or desserts. This is not only delicious but helps to soothe the stomach as well. The following is a wonderful recipe for such a honey, great also for a homemade gift. To 2oz. of maple syrup or honey, add: * 3 drops Ginger

Rose
Essential Oil Rose oil fragrance is beneficial in soothing and harmonizing the mind, helping with anger, depression, grief, fear, stress, and nervous tension. It has been used for years for poor circulation and heart problems as well as high blood pressure, and digestive disorders. It takes 60,000 rose blossoms, picked in the early hours of dawn as they are unfolding, to gain 1 oz. of Rose Essential Oil. The harvest is rushed to the distiller and the oil crafted immediately. The origin of the Rose can be found in ancient Persian gardens, and Persians were the first to distill Rose water from the petals. According to legend, the Rose Essential Oil was discovered when Nour-Djihan, a Persian princess, married Mogul Emperor Dhihanguyr. The canals around the wedding party had been filled with rose water (imagine!!), and as her and her lover enjoyed the waters in a small boat she noticed a thin film on its surface – Rose Essential Oil. Its aroma has been interlaced with human history ever since, lending its radiance and grace to perfumes and inspiring poets and lovers. Rosy": Floral, rich and sweet, graceful and delicious. Bulgarian Rose is finer in character than Moroccan Rose, and more tender. It is the most valued Rose Oil today. Once you have smelled the genuine Rose Essential Oil you will never again be willing to accept a synthetic Rose fragrance as replacement. Whereas the Rose plant has produced an aroma out of many hundred components, synthetic scent merely reproduces the most dominant ingredients, missing out on the subtle refinement of genuine Rose Oil. The potency and incredible fragrancing power of Rose Essential Oil make it a great investment, even though it is one of the pricier oils. If you find it hard to dose the pure oil correctly (it is incredibly strong and intense!), or shy away from the cost, start with Essential Oils blended with Jojoba Oil, classified as"i/J"("in Jojoba"). Balancing, relaxing, inspiring, comforting. Rose symbolizes passion, romance, sympathy and luxury. Great skincare properties, refining the structure of the skin and balancing its functions. Its mildness, as well as its cooling and astringent properties, make it great for nurturing the sensitive skin surrounding the eyes (as always, properly diluted!). Rose opens the heart and has brought calming comfort to many births. It is a very feminine aroma that is frequently used in Aromatherapy to improve a woman's well-being. Rose oil was first distilled by the Arabic Physician Avicenna, who wrote an entire book on its many healing properties. Rose makes a great skin oil for all skin types, and especially for dry, sensitive, or aging skin - for this we recommend a 5% dilution in Jojoba oil. It is currently one of our bestsellers, often being diffused to bring the magical scent of Rose to a room or house. Adding a very small amount of oil to a bath or other essential oil blends goes a long way to bringing its fantastic qualities into one's life. Its uplifting aroma will blend well with many other oils, including Jasmine, Sandalwood, Lavender, and Amber. Rose oil absolute is made with a delicate process. Similar in a way to 'effleurage' (the pressing of petals in fat to produce an extract), the flower essence is extracted, with a wax-like 'concrete' being produced. Through a second extraction of the concrete, rose oil absolute is yielded. This method is more efficient than steam distillation, producing nearly 7 pounds of oil per 10,000 pounds of roses (distillation yields 1 pound oil per 10,000 pounds of roses), with a corresponding lower cost than a steam distilled variety - some find the absolute has a more 'complete' aroma, with more depth true to the Rose flower. Oil of rose can be utilized in a number of ways; it is very gentle, being suitable for use on the skin 'neat', in massage oil, and in a bath, as well as in a diffuser. As a perfume, the absolute can be worn directly on the skin – its 'tenacious' quality will have the aroma slowly released for many hours. For therapeutic use for the emotions, a dilution of 10% of in jojoba oil is often used, being massaged into the heart area – a diffuser is very effective for this purpose as well. The absolute can also be added in small amounts to any skin cream, though using a home-made natural recipe is often the nicest. Suggested Use: Diffuse or apply topically or add to baths (after the tub is full, as to not release all the aroma before one has gotten in!)

Add a few drops to a diffuser for a relaxing, feminine aroma climate. Add 5 drops to a hot bath for a blissful retreat, mixing the oils with Ancient Legacy's Coconut Emulsifier or some Half & Half prior to blending it with the water (in order to prevent the oils from floating on the surface). Rose is highly concentrated, a little can add a wonderful scent to your favorite carrier oil - we recommend jojoba for skin care. Add 3-4 drops to 1oz. of unscented body care product. Alternatively, add up to 10 drops of Ancient Legacy's Cherry Blossom, Dry Skin, Mature Skin or Sensitive Skin Blends (which contain Rose) to 1oz. of unscented body care product. You can create your own Rose Water by adding 3 drops of pure Rose Essential Oil to a spoon of honey, and blending it with 1oz. distilled water. This is superior to most of the Rose Waters you can buy in the stores, since those are frequently made with synthetic Rose fragrance and contain large amounts of preservatives. Keep refrigerated, and remember to use it soon since it will eventually spoil. Rose Water is great in desserts and pastries. If you want to use it as a natural skin toner make sure you don't use too much honey, or leave it out altogether; simply fill the Rose Water into a mister, shake well, and spray liberally. If you are purchasing this Essential Oil blended with Jojoba, increase the number of drops you add to your body care or bath according to your liking. You can use oils blended with Jojoba in a diffuser, but it is not recommended in diffusers that work with cotton pads - Car Diffuser, Scent Ball, Spa Scenter - or nebulizers. If using an aromalamp or Ancient Legacy's Aromashell it will leave an oily residue that can be washed away - but do not overheat the lamp dish!

Rosemary
Esential Oil Refreshing, empowering, mind-clearing. Very popular in skin and hair care. Has been known to help enhance memory. Rosemary was used in the middle ages to drive away evil spirits. It refreshes, clears the mind, and energizes body, mind and (good) spirit. It enhances circulation and eases muscle stiffness and aches when added to a bath or massage products. Rosemary's long history includes use by grave-robbing bandits during the plague of the 1400's - the thieves doused themselves in 'Four Thieves Vinegar' (a mixture including Rosemary leaf, Clove, Lemon and Cinnamon) to protect themselves from infection while going about their 'business'. Folklore tells us the flowers of Rosemary were once white, and turned red forever when the Virgin Mary placed her cloak over the bush. The aroma of Rosemary oil is warm and stimulating, being used to strengthen mental awareness. Its warming qualities may help some with arthritic joints and rheumatism, being used in compresses, baths, or in massage blends. It has a long reputation for helping memory, not only by stimulating the mind but by increasing blood flow. For centuries Rosemary oil has been used for troubled skin and for improving hair growth, perhaps due to its possible skin regenerative properties. It can also be an excellent antiseptic and anti-microbial agent, Suggested Use Apply a few drops to a tissue and inhale; or add to a diffuser. This is great to wake up and get your brain cells going. Diffuse or apply topically or add to baths (after the tub is full, as to not release all the aroma before one has gotten in!). Add a few drops to warm water and soak a small towel for a compress on sore joints. Has been traditionally been used for stimulating the mind, enhancing clarity, relieving stiffness of joints, stimulating healthy hair growth. Can be supportive for conditions of rheumatism, arthritis, hypertension (small doses), hypotension (higher doses), respiratory infections, hair loss. Students report that it helped them do better in exams to smell Rosemary - or a Rosemary based blend - during study time, and then surround themselves with the aroma during the test. This is due not only to the stimulating powers of Rosemary, but also because the area of the brain for memory and that which processes scent are closely connected. If you like you can make your own hair care blend, combining Rosemary with Clary Sage, Jasmine, Patchouli and Lavender according to your liking. Add to unscented shampoo or conditioner (5-10 drops per 1oz. of product), or apply 1 drop to your hairbrush to rejuvenate and naturally scent hair and scalp. Adding just 5 drops to a warm bath brings welcome stimulation to sore, stiff and overworked muscles.

Sandalwood
Essential Oil santalum album - India Sandalwood has
a sensual, musky scent, reminiscent of the Orient. Besides its presence
in many perfumes, sandalwood is also a big part of numerous different
types of religious and cultural ceremonies and traditions. Sandalwood
is a sensual oil that is calming, balancing and harmonizing. It
contains anti-fungal, antiseptic and anti-viral compounds and has
a balancing action on the skin. Dry-woody and warm. Oriental, luxurious and balsamic, deep & soft aroma. The Indian Sandalwood population has been nearly exhausted due to over-harvesting, and prices have been continuously increasing. Ancient Legacy offers an Australian Sandalwood as well, with a more smoky note, and comes at a much lower price. The divinely sweet aroma, a softly balsamic base-note, evokes the Earth element at its most sensual yet deeply tranquil. The potency and incredible fragrancing power of Sandalwood Essential Oil make it a great investment, even though it is one of the pricier oils. If you find it hard to dose the pure oil correctly (it is incredibly strong and intense!), or shy away from the cost, start with Essential Oils blended with Jojoba Oil, classified as"i/J"("in Jojoba"). Relaxing, sedative to the nervous system, warming. Great aphrodisiac, can help against depression, and can aid in finding restful sleep. Antidepressant, antiphlogistic, antiseptic (urinary and pulmonary), antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, astringent, bactericidal, carminative, cicatrizant, diuretic, expectorant, insecticide, sedative, tonic. Sandalwood is valued in skincare for its moisturizing and skin healing properties. Sandalwood is one of the oldest known perfume materials. In the East it's used as incense, for erecting temples and as part of the cremation ceremony. It is also forming the famous Aytar perfume in combination with Rose. Sandalwood has been traditionally been used for enhancing meditation and spiritual practice, and for skin revitalization. Has been shown in some studies to prevent particular kinds of skin cancer; also reported to reduce stress and improve sleep. A search of the research database Pub Med for Sandalwood Oil yields very interesting results. Several papers have been published demonstrating sandalwood's ability to prevent skin cancers caused by both UV radiation and toxic chemical exposure. (in Anti-Cancer Research, Jan-Feb 2008: 'Effects of alpha-santalol on proapoptotic caspases and p53 expression in UVB irradiated mouse skin' and Jul-Aug 2007: 'Chemoprevention by alpha-santalol on UVB radiation-induced skin tumor development in mice', also in Carcinogenisis Sep. 2006: 'Chemopreventive effects of alpha-santalol on ultraviolet B radiation-induced skin tumor development in SKH-1 hairless mice' — more studies available on Pub Med at www.pubmed.gov). Sandalwood has also been shown to improve sleep — in a Japanese study, topically applied Sandalwood oil significantly reduced the total waking time when sleep/wake cycles were investigated. While these are only preliminary studies, Sandalwood can be added to skin care formulas -- it has a wonderful aroma, enjoyed by both men and women, and helps hydrate dry skin. Small amounts can be worn 'neat' (undiluted) upon retiring for the evening to reap its potential sleep-enhancing effects. This may be an excellent way of enjoying its stress reducing, or axiolytic action, as well. The oil is high in sesquiterpenes, a class of compounds which have been studied in Europe for stimulating of the pineal gland and the limbic region of the brain - the center of our emotions. Clarifying and stilling to the mind, and refreshing to an overheated body, Sandalwood is though to reconnect one to the primordial state of being. Diminishing the need to 'overthink', Sandalwood can instill a sense of inner unity, helping re-establish an acceptance of reality as it is. Sandalwood has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, traditionally as a skin tonic, and of course for yogic meditative practice. It may be beneficial for both acne and dry skin; it has also been used to treat chronic bronchitis. The aroma of Sandalwood is sedative, with possible antidepressant effects. The oil may also be helpful in cases where depression has lead to sexual difficulties, and can support the nervous system and circulation. Suggested Use: Diffuse or apply topically. Can be worn undiluted as a natural perfume; excellent in skin care recipes at 1-5% concentration for dry skin Add a few drops to a diffuser for a relaxing, "grounding" aroma climate. Add 5 drops to a hot bath for a blissful retreat, mixing the oils with Ancient Legacy's Coconut Emulsifier or some Half & Half prior to blending it with the water (in order to prevent the oils from floating on the surface). Add up to 5 drops to 1oz. of unscented body care product. Alternatively, add up to 10 drops of Ancient Legacy's Tansu Wood, Meditation, Passion, Sacred, Feminine Balance, Dry Skin or Mature Skin Blends (which contain Sandalwood) to 1oz. of unscented body care product.

Tea
Tree Essential Oil melalueca alternifolia - Australia Tea Tree is soothing and can help with stinging and itching associated with insect bites, sunburns, minor burns, scalds, abrasions, stinging nettles and other irritating skin conditions. It is penetrating, aromatic, a natural solvent and an antiseptic. Tea Tree Oil is steam distilled from an extremely hardy tree native to Australia - when cut down, the Tea Tree will quickly regrow from the stump. The Aborigines in northeastern New South Wales have used tee tree as a healing herb for many generations. They make a poultice of the leaves and treat skin infections, cuts and wounds. Australian Aborigines have used Tea Tree and related plants since the beginning of time. They welcomed and saved the crew of Sir Francis from scurvy and exhaustion with a tea brewed from its leaves - hence the name. The oil is now well known in natural medicine for its antimicrobial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal effects. Some of its immune supportive properties may be a result of its anti-depressant effects, as one's emotional well-being has a significant impact on the body's ability to resist infection. Tea Tree essential oil can also help sooth insect bites, but is even better used as an insect repellent; one aromatherapist claims Tea Tree is the best she's ever used. A must for the traveler's medicine kit. Tea Tree essential oil has been the subject of numerous scientific studies validating its antibacterial and antiviral actions. Tea Tree has proven to be particularly efficacious in the treatment of Candida infections in many regions of the body. Some natural therapists advise 'spiking' vaginal suppositories with a small amount of the oil; others indicate to take one drop at a time 3x a day for 'Thrush', where the Candida fungus has infected the throat. The essential oil has also been studied for its effect against MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), the 'superbug' causing infections in immuno-comprimised hospital patients. This antibiotic resistant staph has been effectively treated with Tea Tree oil in some cases; however, a blend of well-known antimicrobial oils may have a better effect against this particular rare, yet dangerous, infection. Excellent choices to boost Tea Tree's potency are Geranium, Lavender and Oregano. (Another study noted that a Methicillin-resistant strain of staph bactiera was most suseptable to a blend of Geranium essential oil and Grapefruit Seed Extract, or GSE.) Tea Tree Oil is found in many oral hygiene products, and its wide spectrum of action has made it traditionally useful in treating mouth sores and gums, for acne, and for herpes infections, as well as for general immune system stimulation and for support when fighting respiratory infections. Tea Tree has the wonderful property of effectively fighting infections without harming tissues. It can be used 'neat' as a treatment for small cuts and scrapes; many parents mix it 50/50 with Lavender for a soothing, natural anti-bacterial treatment for their young ones. This blend may be applied directly to injuries, and will both sooth the area and prevent infection. After landing the H.M.S. Endeavor in Botany Bay in 1770, Captain James Cook and his party came upon a grove of trees thick with sticky, aromatic leaves that they found made a spicy tea. The 'Tea Tree', as it was called by Captain Cook, became a valued bush remedy used by early European settlers. in 1923 an Australian government scientist, Dr. A. R. Penfold, conducted a study of tea tree Essential Oil and discovered it to be 12 times more potent as an antiseptic bactericide than carbolic acid (the standard at the time). Tea Tree oil became recognized, according to the British Medical Journal in 1933, as 'a powerful disinfectant, non-poisonous and non-irritating'. Very strong and medicinal smelling. Spicy-camphorous, warm scent. For many people who have experienced the benefits of Tea Tree Oil, this scent has become equivalent to the 'scent of healing'. Medicinal, stimulating, purifying.

It is common knowledge among aromatherapists that the essential oil of Thyme is one of the most potently antiseptic essential oils known. Thymol has been extensively documented for its antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal action. According to Jean Valnet, M.D., Thyme oil kills the anthrax bacillus, the typhoid bacillus, meningococcus, and the agent responsible for tuberculosis and is active against salmonella and staphylococcus bacteria. In addition, this component has been studied for its effects on gingivitis and plaque-caused organisms in the mouth (it is used in Listerine for its antiseptic actions).

Ylang
Ylang Complete Essential Oil cananga odorata - Madagascar Exotic. Mysterious. Spicy. These words describe Ylang Ylang Complete. Its aroma can both uplift and relax. It has been around for centuries and has been most frequently used as an aphrodisiac, yet it has many other stimulating qualities as well. Ylang Ylang is a treasured essential oil and is even more powerful when combined with other oils. In Asia the flowers of the Ylang Ylang tree are spread on the beds of newly weds. It has a long history in skin and hair care products and does great balancing the skin's oil production. Asian medicine use it as a stimulant for hair growth. Frequently part of perfumes with a romantic/sensual theme. Intensely sweet and soft. Ylang Ylang is a rich floral note and somewhat Jasmine-like, therefore sometimes called 'Jasmine for the poor man'. It is probably the richest of all the floral Essential Oil aromas and can easily be overdosed. Ylang Ylang is distilled over the course of 14 hours. During this time various grades of Ylang Ylang are extracted: Extra, #1, #2, #3. The left over plant material is used to make the inferior Cananga Oil. Ylang Ylang #3 is the most commonly offered quality and a nice, pleasant oil. Strongly relaxing, which is why Ylang Ylang is frequently called a sedative in Aromatherapy literature. As a relaxation aid it reduces stress and tension, and helps to relieve feelings of frustration, anger and depression. It is also a great aphrodisiac and sleeping aid; the perfect aroma for the bedroom. Aphrodesiac, anti-depressant, anti-infectious, antiseborrheic, antiseptic, euphoric, hypotensive, nervine, regulator, sedative (nervous), stimulant (circulatory), tonic. In traditional aromatherapeutic use, a very important property of Ylang Ylang is its ability to slow down rapid breathing and rapid heart rate - hence it may be especially useful in shock and trauma situations.* Ylang Ylang Oil is good for any skin as it balances the natural oil production. Its sweet, heavy, distinctive fragrance is used widely in perfumes and cosmetics. Ylang Ylang Oil's softer floral scent is often used in men's fragrances as an alternative to the sweeter and more feminine rose. Like the three major aphrodisiac oils - Rose Oil, Neroli Oil and Jasmine Oil - Ylang Ylang is beautifully uplifting emotionally and relaxing. The calming effect of this oil may be the reason it is considered an aphrodisiac as using it would lessen tensions or anxieties. Ylang Ylang can help balance male and female energies, reducing internal conflict between these seeming opposites. In this manner, the aroma of the oil may positively influence sexual relationships, and help restore confidence. Suggested Use Diffuse or apply topically, particularly in massage oil. Has been traditionally used as an aphrodisiac, and to calm overexcited physiological states. Used in hair preparations to promote thick and shiny hair, also to add luster to skin. Ylang Ylang essential oil can be supportive for conditions of over-excitation and temper. Diffuse 1-2 drops in your bedroom or relaxation area. Add 1-2 drops to a warm bath, mixing the oils with Ancient Legacy's Coconut Emulsifier or some Half & Half prior to blending it with the water (in order to prevent the oils from floating on the surface). Ylang Ylang works best when it is very subtle. If your partner likes it as much as you do, add 1-2 drops of Ylang Ylang to 1oz. of unscented body care or massage oil.

High blood pressure, hypenea (abnormally fast breathing), tachycardia, palpitations, Depression, frigidity, impotence, insomnia, nervous tension and stress-related disorders, aphrodisiac, anxiety, panic, fear, anger, rage, low self-confidence. Chemical compositionThe main chemical components are linalool, geranyl acetate, caryophyllene, p-cresyl methyl ether, methyl benzoate, benzyl acetate, benzyl benzoate and other sesquiterpenes. There are different 'pressings' of ylang-ylang oil - with them being called 'extra' and then 1st, 2nd and 3rd pressing. The extra is the very first pressing and contains the highest amounts of esters and therefore has the sweetest odor, while the later pressings have a less-sweet odor. The 'extra' is not used in aromatherapy, but used in the perfume industry and to have a 'complete' essential oil for aromatherapy, the 'extra' is combined with the 1st and 2nd pressings to form the complete ylang-ylang essential oil.
