Nature's Gift End of Winter Newsletter
All of the special sale pricing is available only on our New and Special page. NEW OILS - A stunning Tuberose, nicest I have ever experienced, and a lovely Patchouli, distilled in copper, sweet smooth, and completely iron free. A new Corsican Helichrysum oil, because we were unable to buy as much as we planned from our usual distiller. This new batch is, of course, certified organic. It is distilled in a stainless steel still, rather than the traditional copper. The newer version of the oil has a different aroma, and lacks the greenish tint from the copper still. Two new Lavender species, Lavandin Abrial, and Lavender Mailette have arrived, as well as a new shipment of our High Altitude Lavender. Running Low: A heads up for those who love specific oils or blends. Some products are running low and will not be restocked. If this is something you have loved, or have been curious about, order now while our supplies last.
Now is the time to order, if you have been craving any of the above. Nature's Gift News: We have three new staff members. Detra, our high school co-op student is amazing. She's a high school senior, runs our mailroom, and works a second job on the weekends. Focused and reliable, we're lucky to have her. Jim, our only male, is going to film school at Watkins in Nashville to become a director, though lately he's become very interested in writing films. As well as packing orders, Jim helps T organize the warehouse and screens incoming shipments for us. He checks new aromalamps, etc as our quality control inspector. Sadie is a talented artist. A painter, sculptor, musician, and mother of two. You may see some of her work online at http://www.fiddola.com. In high school she wrote a paper on perfumes and how they're made. Her interest in aromatics goes back a long way. Sadie's enthusiasm is contagious. She has already started an Aromatherapy course, packs your orders, and assists Denise in pouring oils and blends when the day's orders are finished. Courtney has left Nature's Gift. We wish her well in her future endeavors. Charity of the Month: Our January through March Charity of the Quarter is Heifer International. Help us help them feed the hungry. 2% of our gross sales every Wednesday will be donated, and you may add our own contribution through our shopping cart. Speaking of Bird Flu (because everyone seems to be!)No, I've not had a flu shot. I've NEVER had a flu shot. I think being surrounded by the essential oils, as we are here, tends to keep the really nasty viruses (virii?) and bacteria away. We have recently had a run on ELEMI essential oil. Of course, it's an immune stimulant. Other essential oils believed to stimulate the immune system are Inula graveolens, the Sages, Angelica Root, Bergamot, Lemon, Ledum and Black Spruce. It probably would not do harm to diffuse some of the above on a regular basis. You might also want to look at the listing of anti-viral essential oils online at http://www.naturesgift.com/antiviral.htm.CLIENT FEEDBACK: Rosacea Treatment Gel Mary Smink from Georgia recently wrote Also, I would like to give you some feedback about the Rosacea Treatment Gel. I have had problems for a couple of years now with ocular rosacea -- dry, gritty, red eyes, both inside and around the rims of my eyes and just under my eyelashes. Well, about three weeks ago I used my Aromaleigh mineral eye shadow to line my eyes. But rather than mixing the minerals with water as I had been doing, I mixed the minerals with a drop of the rosacea treatment gel. As I said, it has been about three weeks ago that I started doing this, and I have had none, that\'s right, none, of the above problems. It\'s as if the ocular part of my rosacea problem has just disappeared!!!!! Thanks so much for a wonderful product.MIRACLE OIL - We continue to get raves from users of this healing blend of St. John's Wort infused oil and our special healing essential oils. Rebecca from Israel wrote of using it to heal training injuries. "First of all I wanted to let you know about my experiences with Marge's Miracle Oil. It certainly eases the pain of my training injuries, and swelling goes down much faster, though for some reason bruises always fade very slowly on me. I also gave some to a boy in my dojo who has a lot of "growing pains", especially in his knees - he's only fourteen years old but already over 5 1/2 feet tall and about 200 lbs., mostly muscle (!!) It took care of his latest knee pains overnight - amazing." Stephanie, in Florida, gave her mother Anne a bottle during her knee replacement surgery. Anne wrote the following: How grateful I am that my daughter Stephanie thought to give me a gift of your Miracle Oil after I had knee replacement surgery. The oil was soothing and reduced the heat emanating from my angry knee. I was delighted and surprised to find that it made an appreciable difference and recommended it to my cousin who had had bi-lateral total knee replacement as well. Thank you for your healing Miracle Oil. Our Denise used it for the same reasons, and swears it helped immensely. And Miriam from Long Barn, CA writes: was reading your site and would like to share some uses of your essential oils that I have found. I have made a blend of helichrysum, black pepper and lavender in a base of virgin olive oil which I use for my arthritis and it is amazing. The swelling in my fingers recedes, no pain and relieves the stiffness. I LOVE YOUR HELICHRYSUM!!!! Another oil that I found incredible is your inula graveolens. I sometimes suffer from acid reflux and have found that rubbing some of the oil on the area where I have discomfort,in a short period of time the pain is gone, no nausea and better yet no drugs. Essential oils continue to amaze me. Thank-you again for the wonderful quality of your oils, they are a pleasure to work with. My comment: I'd like to see Miriam try her blend in St. John's Wort oil, rather than the pure olive oil. I think it will intensify the effect amazingly. And I have NEVER heard of Inula being used for Acid Reflux. I use it for dry coughs. I'll have to make a note of her experience on the descriptive listing. CO2 Combo:"I've been using your C02 extract in my facial care formulations for a few years now and my customers go ga-ga over the skincare results they find. I'm sure it has something to do with this extract. I love it, they love it, and please keep providing us with this amazing product."~ Colleen Miller, Greenridge Herbals www.greenridgeherbals.com Baby Bottom Balm:We just made a big batch of this because I have a new Grand-daughter due to arrive at the end of this week. (Actually she was due to arrive about 10 days ago; if she's not here by Friday the doctor plans to "encourage" her a bit.) At any rate, Penelope Cansler recently wrote:I orderd a 4 oz jar of Baby Bottom Balm several weeks ago that I was A reminder - once the hot weather comes we will no longer be
able to ship our Shea Souffle or Baby Bottom Balm. Order enough now
