Most essential oils are so strong that a little goes a long way. Essential oils should be diluted in carrier oils for use in massage. Avoid using mineral oils and baby oils for massage. Sweet Almond oil is the first choice of many aromatherapists as it is good for all skin types. Especially good for eczema. It absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it soft and non greasy. Excellent for making massage oils, or any recipe that calls for a vegetable carrier oil. Helps relieve itching, soreness, dryness and inflammation. Useful against burns and thread veins. Almond oil goes rancid quickly, so blends made with it must be used quickly. Our bodycare oils are usually used in conjunction with our essential oils. Vegetable oils are produced from nuts, seeds, grains and beans. They are sometimes referred to as fixed oils because they are not as volatile (easily evaporate) as essential oils. Vegetable Oils make an excellent base in which to dilute essential oils for body care products. Our vegetable oils are 100% pure and natural. Our cosmetic oils (such as Lanolin or Shea Butter) work well as carriers for essential oils and moisturizers. |

Alcohol-free Fluid Extract Promotes A Healthy Immune System The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Purple coneflower herb (Echinacea purpurea) for 'Internal use: Supportive therapy for colds and chronic infections of the respiratory tract and lower urinary tract. External use: Poorly healing wounds and chronic ulcerations.' 'Contraindications External: None known. Internal: Progressive systemic diseases, such as tuberculosis, leucosis, collagenosis, multiple sclerosis. No parenteral administration in case of tendencies to allergies, especially allergies to members of the composite family (Asteraceae), as well as in pregnancy.' 'Daily dosage: 6 - 9 ml expressed juice; equivalent preparations. External: Semi-solid preparations containing at least 15 percent pressed juice. Mode of Administration: Pressed juice and galenical preparations for internal and external use. Duration of Administration: Preparations for internal and external use: Not longer than 8 weeks.' Actions: In human and/or animal experiments, Echinacea preparations given internally or parenterally have produced immune effects. Among others, the number of white blood cells and spleen cells is increased, the capacity for phagocytosis by human granulocytes is activated, and the body temperature is elevated.' Grieve: 'Echinacea purpurea has similar propertiesto E. angustifolia; the fresh root of this is the part used.' Ellingwood: 'There is considerable confusion concerning the identity of the active medicinal species of echinacea. The echinacea purpurea of the Eastern States has been thought to be identical with the echinacea angustifolia of the Western States. It is often used for the same purposes, but is universally disappointing. King introduced it into his dispensatory as rudbeckia purpurea.' The two forms of Echinacea share similar, but not identical, chemistries, and similar, but not identical, medical reputations. Echinacoside, for instance, is found in E. angustifolia but not E. purpurea. But the two plants are so closely related, that an amateur botanist would have difficulty telling one from the other by looks alone. Echinacea possesses confirmed anitbacterial and antiviral properties. It is profoundly supportive of the immune system. Echinacea is effective both internally, against such as colds, flu and tonsilitis, and externally against many kinds of stubborn skin problems. The decoction can be used as a mouthwash for pyorrhoea and gingivitis, and as a douche for vaginal infections. Echinacea is the subject of much contemporary research. Its complex chemistry seems to support the immune system by activating white blood cells. Echinacea also increases the production of interferon, an important part of the body’s response to viral infections. Many double-blind studies have confirmed that echinacea is effective for treating colds and flu. Other modern clincial studies confirm that ech |

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Famous for its pungent, sweet flavor, licorice is essential in innumerable candy, confection, beverage and sauce recipes, and makes an estimable liqueur. Licorice is also a traditional herbal remedy. The sweet saponin glycyrrhizin occurs in the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra, the original European source, and in Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Chinese licorice. Authorities treat the two as chemically and medicinally identical. As Grieve puts it, 'The Liquorice of medicine and commerce is derived from the sweet root of various species of Glycyrrhiza, a genus which contains about fourteen species, natives of warmer temperate countries in both the New and Old Worlds...' The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 'For catarrhs of the upper respiratory tract and gastric/duodenal ulcers.' 'Side Effects: On prolonged use and with higher doses, mineralocorticoid effects may occur in the form of sodium and water retention and potassium loss, accompanied by hypertension, edema, and hypokalemia, and, in rare cases, myoglobinuria.' 'Average daily dosage:About 5 - 15 g of root, equivalent to 200 - 600 mg of glycyrrhizin; As Succus liquiritiae: 0.5 - 1 g for catarrhs of the upper respiratory tract, 1.5 - 3 g for gastric/duodenal ulcers; equivalent preparations.' 'Mode of Administration: Powdered root, finely cut root or dry extracts for infusions, decoctions, liquid or solid dosage forms for internal use (Succus liquiritiae). Duration of Administration: Not longer than 4 - 6 weeks without medical advice. There is no objection to using licorice root as a flavoring agent up to a maximum daily dosage equivalent to 100 mg glycyrrhizin.' 'Actions: According to controlled clinical studies, glycyrrhizic acid and the aglycone of glycyrrhizic acid accelerate the healing of gastric ulcers. Secretolytic and expectorant effects have been confirmed in tests on rabbits. In the isolated rabbit ileum, an antispasmodic action has been observed at concentrations of 1:2500 - 1:5000.' Although the Commission E lists severe liver disease as a contraindication, less severe liver disease can be helped by the use of licorice. Hepatoprotective licorice tea is widely used as a liver tonic in Japan. Licorice's triterpene glycyrrhizin has been shown to prevent liver injury from such agents as carbon tetrachloride, benzene hexachloride and PCB. Glycyrrhizin aids antibody production and inhibits the growth of several DNA and RNA viruses, irreversibly inactivating the Herpes simplex virus. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The chief constituent of Liquorice root [Glycyrrhiza glabra], to which its sweet taste is due, is Glycyrrhizin (6 to 8 per cent), obtainable in the form of a sweet, white crystalline powder, consisting of the calcium and potassium salts of glycyrrhizic acid. The drug also contains sugar, |
