As usual, bulk sizes, kits, and samplers aren’t included in this sale.
NEW and Back in Stock:
A new ITALIAN Helichrysum (yes, Helichrysum italicuum, organically produced on the island of Sardinia, off the coast of Italy (just a stones throw across the Mediterranean from Corsica). I was sourcing more of our healing Balkan Helichrysum and found this wonderful specimen, even higher in neryl acetate than its Macedonian predecessor, but, lower in the italidiones than our unique Corsican Oil , which we will reserve for surgical and burn scars. HOWEVER, this new oil from a new (to us!) producer is wonderfully effective for nerve and joint pain, bumps and bruises, all the healing uses of a fine Helichrysum italicuum. And, since it *does* contain italidiones (over 4%) I find myself asking what percentage of italidiones do we NEED for scar healing? I don’t think anyone knows. I have had some chemists tell me they have never seen an oil with over 6% italidiones. I don’t have the answer. Will this Italian specimen be as effective for scar healing as our Corsican oil? Too soon to tell. We hope to get feedback from those who try it. In the meantime, I am using this oil in my research project.

NEW and Back in Stock:
A LOT of back in stock products: two Frankincense oils, our Organic, from Somalia, and our CO2 Extracted Boswellia carterii, (my favorite for aromatic and emotional uses). The arrival of the two Frankincense oils let us put our Frankincense Sampler back online, as well. We’ve restocked our “sweet as candy” Midwestern Peppermint and brought in more English and German Chamomiles from our British producer. We’ve also restocked our organic Bulgarian Rose Otto — the benchmark of what a true, traditional rose oil should be.
A brand new Sandalwood, higher in santalol than our 2014 Sandalwood Tamil. Another Santalum album, from Tamil Nadu, India. Also a 2014 distillation, but I think this oil contains a greater proportion of heartwood.
A brand new Biodynamic Bergamot. Biodynamic agriculture is the most holistic form of farming, with the greatest respect for the earth and its bounty. Not only is this cold pressed Bergamot oil aromatically beautiful, but it is one of the most energetically powerful citrus oils I’ve experienced in a long time.
20 on the 20th:

Our Clients Say
We love positive feedback from all of our clients, but sometimes we get a bit starstruck.
Many of you know Michael Scholes of The Laboratory of Flowers. Michael was a “someone” in the aromatic world when I was just…brand new. He was an established teacher and authority decades ago. Every once in awhile he will place an order for a few ounces of something unusual. And it delights me! Finally, after his most recent order I emailed (trying not to sound too star struck)… “It just tickles me when I see an order from you! Thank you!” and he replied:
Marge,
You are so kind and I appreciate what you do so much. We are torch
bearers for essential oils and I know when I purchase something from
you that it is the most authentic available anywhere.Best regards always,
Michael
Starstruck! definitely starstruck! Of course I asked for permission to quote, and he said, of course!
Yes. Starstruck indeed.
Mango Ginger
Dyan Simms wrote some time ago about her challenges dealing with the pain of “Trigger Finger”…“I have developed ‘trigger finger’ on my thumb. I was thinking about some of the Miracle blend or maybe Plai oil for it. Any other suggestions?”
I was at a loss, but Christi has dealt with this, and wrote the following:
Miracle Oil is always a good place to start! I will include a few samples, too, of other anti-inflammatories.
In particular, I have experimented quite a bit with our Mango Ginger CO2 for inflammation & sometimes when nothing else will help, I will use the 10% dilution all around the bottom of my right thumb near the synovial joint and that will ease it up a bit quicker than anything else I have tried. It is a newer oil but seems to be helpful in terms of analgesic and anti-inflammatory (among other) uses. This may be due to high beta caryophyllene which is a sesquiterpene found in black pepper, hops, clove, etc.
Hope that helps!
(All of this was news to me, by the way!)
Dyan recently wrote the following:
Hi Christi,
I’ve been meaning to email you both and let you know how the oils worked. Both worked well, the Mango Ginger and Kunzea. They worked even better when combined with the Marge’s Miracle blend — one pump plus a drop or two of one of the e/o’s. Tried both this way and they both worked equally well.
Sure, you can quote me. You can use my name. Thanks for your help! Dyan Simms
Roberta also suffers from “Trigger Finger” and had been using our St. Johns Wort Infused Oil. It helped… but adding Mango Ginger 10% to it made a world of difference. (She has also been using this combination on painful varicose veins, and finds the pain is gone!).
I LOVE it when our oils make a difference for people!
Bug Bites?
Just heard from an old online friend in Australia, Tess Clark. She reminded me, “Hi Marge, back back ages ago you shared a ‘bug bite’ recipe. Recipe was 6 drops lavender, 2 german chamomile, 1 helichrysum, diluted in 8ml jojoba and 7ml aloe vera to make a 15ml roll on. Wanted to give you some feedback. We’ve used it on mozzie bites with great success and I’ve also used it on minor burns. Also very good for both swelling, pain and healing. Recently mum got a wasp sting — we applied immediately and it stopped the pain and healed no problems. She also recently had a shingles vaccine and her arm swelled a lot and was very painful and red — applied — went down within 1 hour of application. Just wanted to thank you again for this awesome recipe. It has become a staple in our house and a blend we wouldn’t want to be without. Mum’s going up to the Top End in a few months and she’ll be taking it with her. Thanks again xx.”
(For my fellow Americans… “Mozzies” are Australian bred mosquitoes.)
Uplifting Diffuser Blend from the March 2007 newsletter:
Lissa Blood shared her favorite “Citrus Smile” lamp or diffuser blend recently:
5 drops petitgrain
4 drops bergamot
3 drops bergamot mint
2 drops lemon
1 drop sweet basil
You can switch the ingredients around to make it more sweet or sour depending on your mood.
Aromatic Quote
Aromatic (sorta) quote for the month…from http://www.stashtea.com (because it made me laugh!).
“…Would you like some tea?”
“Okay.”
“Alright, I’ve got chamomile, I’ve got chamomile mango, I’ve got chamomile mint, I’ve got peppermint, I’ve got spearmint, I’ve got evening mint, I’ve got plantation mint, I’ve got… don’t look at me like that, it’s my sister’s fault, SHE did this to me… where was I,… I’ve got Evening Jewel, I’ve got tangerine, I’ve got…”
May the March Winds blow only good things your way!
