Basil
As an aromatherapy treatment, basil has been used to induce higher levels
of consciousness; it has a hormonelike action in that it increases the sex drive. Basil is an uplifting scent and is
often used in aromatherapy to cure the blues. Basil oil is very healing to skin, helping to reduce acne, cleanse wounds
and treat bug bites
Clary Sage
Clary is known to bring on states of euphoria and can sometimes increase
the sex drive when used in aromatherapy. As a skin treatment, clary is antiseptic, antiflammatory and is said to help in the
treatment of wrinkles. Clary can also be used as a deodorant. It is not an herb to be used during pregnancy as it can induce
early labor
Clove Bud
Clove bud oil can be quite stimulating to a tired mind. It has been used
by dentists to help numb the gums and help prevent infection. As a skin treatment, clove bud oil can be used to treat skin
ulcers, bug bites and skin infections. This is another herb which should not be used during pregnancy
Cedarwood
Cedarwood has been used for centuries as a medicinal. Native Americans
used burning cedarwood to help clear congested sinuses. They also discovered its power as an spiritually soothing inhalant
-- bringing with its scent the powers of balance and peace. Cedarwood oil is used in the treatment of many skin ailments,
helping to alleviate problems associated with dermatitis, ezcema and acne. Cedarwood is not safe for use during pregnancy
German Chamomile
German chamomile, the 'earth apple', has been used since the time of
the Egyptians as a medicinal treatment for fever. Chamomile is also the herb of peaceful sleep, creating a sedative effect
when used in herbal teas. It seems to have many medicinal benefits, one being its ability to increase the production of white
blood cells, thus boosting the immune system and helping to speed the healing process. Chamomile also helps heal from the
outside in -- as a wound healer when applied topically -- helping soothe herpes outbreaks, acne & rashes. Chamomile is
also safe for children and pregnant women
Grapefruit
Grapefruit is used to chase away the blues -- this wonderfully uplifting
scent can be used to stimulate a tired mind and increase the appetite -- as a skin application, grapefruit is astringent,
antiseptic and disinfectant -- it is photosensitizing, as are all citrus oils, and will accelerate tanning, as well as burning
-- avoid the sun for at last 12 to 15 hours after applying this oil to the skin
Jasmine
Jasmine is one of the oldest of perfumery scents -- known as the king
of flowers (the rose being the queen), this beautiful scent is reminiscent of moonlit nights and sensuality -- jasmine has
the power to turn a grouch into a clown, lifting the spirits with a single whiff -- it is also very useful in dealing with
PMS & menstrual cramps, somehow alleviating the discomfort of these symptoms -- jasmine is great for dry skin and stretch
marks but must not be used during pregnancy as it can stimulate strong uterine contractions
Juniper
Juniper is a refreshing and astringent scent, rich and woody -- juniper
is a great antibacterial and inhalant, helping to kill germs and cleanse the lungs -- it also helps boost mind power -- in
skin applications, it can be used to warm and heal skin -- rubbed on hands and feet, it helps prevent them from getting
cold -- not safe for use during pregnancy, also not safe to use on babies or infants
Lavender
The word 'lavender' is derived from the Latin word 'lavare', meaning
'to wash' -- lavender is a panacea of sorts, used in treatments for emotional and physical health -- in ancient times, it
was used to cleanse and disinfect wounds and treat victims of plague -- safe to use for all skin types, lavender has the ability
to heal burns, neutralize toxins, treat insect bites and can be used directly on the skin -- it also has antibacterial and
decongestant properties when inhaled
MYRRH
The legend of myrrh begins in the deserts of Syria and tells
a story of Myrrha, the goddess daughter of Thesis, king of Syria. The goddess Aphrodite forced Myrrha to commit incest with
her father, but Myrrha ran away before the deed was fully committed. In retribution, the gods changed her into
a tree -- a myrrh tree, and the resin that slowly drips from the rents in the small tree's trunk are the highly prized
and fragrant 'tears of Myrrha'
FRANKINCENSE
When they opened the tomb of King Tut, they found vials of 3000-year-old
frankincense resin still clinging to life -- this should give you a pretty good idea of this awesome resin's staying power.
Frankincense has been used for thousands of years, both as a temple incense and as a cosmetic -- it is well-known for its
tonifying and clarifying effects on 'experienced' skin -- as an extra bonus, frankincense is also used to treat depression
