Green Valley Aromatherapy
October 2013 |
Greetings!
Hello Everyone,
It is September and I am writing the October newsletter thinking of the glorious Autumn show we will be getting soon. I find nature's choice of colours for the trees that are getting ready for their winter sleep to be absolulely inspiring and I love the crispy sound when you are walking through the leaves.
Well, September has been a wonderful month with visitors, lots of family and friends getting together, but the creme de la creme was attending an aromatherapy workshop by the one and only Jeanne Rose. I have attended many seminars presented by many famous people, but this one was truly amazing. There was so much energy coming from the speaker and it was great to be surrounded by other enthusiastic Aromatherapists! It was wonderful to have some of the situations we had worked out for ourselves over the years verified. I also learned so much new stuff that I realized I don't know as much as I thought. Over the next few months I will be adding some interesting snippets that I have learned from Jeanne Rose.
For example, did you know, if you take a plant and grow it at sea level it will tend to have more camphor in it than the same plant grown at a high altitude where it will likely produce more esters. This is one of the ways that plants differ based on where they grow. They are also affected by rainfall, soil compostion and growing conditions from year to year. Unlike a manmade product, batches of essential oils are never exactly the same.
We have been in business for 20 years and were wondering how we could celebrate this monentous occasion. So, after lots of thought and various suggestions we have come up with a Customer Appreciation Month!!! February's newsletter is going to be full of interesting tidbits, competitions, and prizes to be won as well as give aways and lots of surprises. More information to follow in the months to come.
All the best,
Barb
P.S. Do you know how many steps are in the Eiffel Tower? Have a guess. The answer is at the bottom of the page.

Transitions Blend
Changes can be difficult so you need to give yourself time. The Transitions blend was created to help support you through these diffucult periods in your life. Transitions is a blend of Geranium, Lemon, Black Pepper and Rosemary essential oils.
Geranium essential oil is an adrenal cortex stimulant from which arises a good balancing action. It was chosen for its anti-depressant properties. Lemon essential oil is also anti-depressant, but I chose it for its Immuno-stimulant and lymph stimulant properties. When you are going through emotional changes, often the body suffers. Black Pepper essential oil was chosen primarily for its warm, comforting feeling and to help with lethargy and fatigue. Rosemary essential oil has long been considered a brain stimulant. I felt it was needed for that extra boost when working with change.
Transitions is available on its own or as part of the Spiritual Support Team.
Tea Tree Essential Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Tea Tree essential oil is probably the best-known essential oil along with Lavender. As this oil has been in use for such a long time, there is a lot of information around along with many recipes. Commercially there are whole lines of body and hair care products available containing Tea Tree.
Tea Tree belongs to the Myrtaceae family along with Clovebud, Eucalyptus and Myrtle. All of the essential oils belonging to this group are well known for their anti-infectious action. Tea Tree is particularly powerful in this regard. A very powerful immunostimulant, Tea Tree increases the body's ability to respond when threatened with infectious organisms, bacteria, fungi and viruses.

Recipes with Tea Tree:
At the first sign of a cold or flu, a warm bath with 10 drops of Tea Tree will stimulate sweating. This is a natural way to eliminate "the bugs". If it does not stop it from developing, this method should reduce its severity.
Another of my favorite uses for Tea Tree oil is for verrucae (plantar warts). Put one drop of neat Tea Tree oil on the centre of the wart. Cover with a plaster or band air, depending on where you come from. Repeat every 3 days. Cover the wart as soon as you have applied the Tea Tree so the air does not get to it.
Tea Tree hydrosol is a must for teenagers with acne, especially the boys who prefer the medicinal aroma of Tea Tree to some of the sweeter oils. Use the hydrosol as a cleanser. Do not use soap. If the breakout is bad, you can put 1 drop of Tea Tree essential oil on the spot. |

Lavindin vs Lavender
Lavindin is a hybrid which can occur naturally when true Lavender ( Lavendula angustifolium) grows near Spike Lavender ( Lavendula latifolia). The bees can cross-pollinate the plants while foraging for nectar (the pollen sticks to their legs and gets transported to the other Lavender.) Whether cultivated by man or bees, Lavendin ( Lavendula hybrida) is extremely fragrant with larger and darker blue flowers.
Lavindin is more camphorous than true Lavender, which is why it does not have the anti-inflammatory properties. Putting Lavendin on a burn would make it sting more, while true Lavender soothes. The extra camphor in Lavindin makes this a good oil for sinus problems, colds, catarrh and other respiratory issues. Lavindin seems to be good for muscle aches and pains and for clearing headaches.
The Eiffel Tower has 1665 steps, although visitors can walk up the stairs to the second floor only.
