BLOG UPDATES:
We've been blogging up
a storm during July and August!
Our Facebook Friends have already seen most of the above, since they
automagically "port over" to our Facebook page. But they stay on our blog for
historical interest.
I don't normally reference other writer's blogs. But today a friend
sent me a link to one that tickled me. Kimberly had asked a week or so ago
for suggestions for Stress Relief... I suggested some of our blends, but said
first she should try
Cape Chamomile, all by itself. The following
wonderful description of the sorts of stress many of us encounter was the
result. Oh...she also raved about the Cape Chamomile, so perhaps I should
have put this in the "Our clients say" section of the newsletter!

OUR CLIENTS SAY:
Frankincense:
My friend Wendy Ashmun sent me a link to the
following article about Frankincense. Which
reminded me. Last June, I listened in an
AIA Teleconference presented by Dr.
Raphael d'Angelo, in which he shared some of the many ways
he uses these healing oils in his medical practice. (Little
did I know that I was fated to be the next presenter, but
that's a story for another day.) At any rate, Dr.
d'Angelo mentioned using Frankincense oil on tumors of the
skin... scaly spots on back of hands, forearms, ridge of
the ears, on face... "actinic kerotoses" which could go
on to become skin cancer. This caught me attention
because I had developed a dark brown scaly 'spot' on my
jawline, just under my ear. Had asked my doctor because we
are always told "any change in a wart or mole" and this was
new. I didn't LIKE it. My doctor said it was an
actinic kerotosis and not to worry about it. And so
Dr. D'Angelo's comments just leapt out at me. I
started putting a drop of Frankincense on the 'thang' on my
jaw. Within three weeks it was gone. Now, do I
recommend that you do what I did? Of course not. We
aren't doctors; we neither diagnose nor prescribe. And
everyone knows that these oils of ours are just pretty
smells, right? dr. D'Angelo mentioned other oils
as having anti-tumour capabilities, as well: Fragonia,
Kunzea, Lemon, and Myrrh...but it was the Frankincense that
I reached for.
He also mentioned, in passing, that
Australian Blue Cypress is similar to Australian Tea
Tree oil in antibacterial activity, but is a more powerful
antiviral. I need to add that to our description of
the Blue Cypress.
Traditional Golden Shea Butter:
My old friend and mentor Sylla Shepard Hanger, founder of
The Atlantic Institute of Aromatherapy and of the United
Aromatherapy Effort recently wrote asking for larger than
our standard quantities of our Golden Shea. We quoted and
shipped her five lbs... her comment:
I love it, its all I use now
for bodywork (and my own skin), nothing else does what it
does for glide without slip, doesn’t take much either,
washes right out of sheets too
I am so used to recommending Fractionated Coconut for
Massage I hadn't thought of the Golden Shea... perhaps you
hadn't either!
Comparing Quality:
Joan Stirlen, nurse aromatherapist, gave me permission to
share this part of an ongoing conversation:
Hi Marge,
I just had to share with you what has transpired over
the last few months with a friend of mine. She
introduced me to essential oils. She has been using
Young Living oils for over 10 years. She is a
massage and myofascial release therapist. I started out
as a client and we became friends. As I became more
interested in the oils I kept asking about other sources
besides YL and MLM. She was unswayable about using
other oils. I eventually became a distributor and used
YL, but still was on "the search" as I called it. We
both took a certification course together (Laraine
Kyle's in fact), and have enjoyed learning about
blending. My friend has a gift with oils and their
uses. In my search for oils that were accessible to
people without MLM I found your website. I asked you
questions, which you graciously and kindly answered. I
found your oil descriptions and testimonials compelling
at the very least and often enticing and persuasive. I
have used your oils and was pleased with the results and
even did a comparison blend of my best selling blend
with your oils and YL and my customers cannot tell the
difference. I kept asking my friend to "check out
Nature's Gift... tell me what you think". Finally this
year she did, due to my persistence she said. I was at
her office the other day and saw all these Nature's Gift
bottles taking up space where YL oils had been. She
told me she really likes your oils and has been using
them and has been pleased with the results. She had to
adjust to the difference in aromas compared to YL, but
knows it is results of vendors, conditons, etc. But
this friend was absolutely not willing to try any other
oils, but when she finally tried yours... well, a
conversion has been made!
Thank you for all your website and your company offers.
I hav grown as an aromatherapist by the journey and
results and the fellowship of those on the same journey,
and along the way I met you and Nature's Gift.
Heartfully,
Joan Stirlen
I don't have words to describe how much that message from
Joan meant.....
AROMATIC QUOTES OF THE MONTH
- Distillation is in itself a simple
natural phenomenon. When you look above your head and
see clouds in the sky, these are but evaporation visible
shape.
- And when you walk at dawn on grass dew, it is on
Night's condensate."
