Back in Stock:
After a long wait, we finally have High Altitude Lavender...Lavender Fine,
Certified Organic, grown from seed above 1400 meters in the French Alps. Most
authorities consider this the world's finest lavender - the benchmark against
which all others are measured. We also have finally restocked our organic
Lavender Mailette, as well as our other French organic oils. See and order
on our New and Specials page.
We have also restocked our organic Lavender Hydrosol, organic White Sage
Hydrosol, our wee hanging clay pots, for closet or car and the
popular Triskele Aroma Lamp. Since the weather is cooler where we are and
it's finally safe to ship, we
have made new batches of our Baby Bottom Balm and our whipped Shea Soufflé.
For now, only available on our
specials page (we are working on adding all the new and back in stock
products to our 'regular' pages, but that takes time.) Also back in stock
after a long absence, our healing Melissa Calendula Lip Balm. We hadn't
planned to make more, but have received so many requests we had to make it
available again.
NEW to Nature's Gift:
Delightfully fruity Elderberry Hydrosol and clear, sharply lemony Lemongrass
Hydrosol - Organically produced in the US. Quantities are limited, order

Our Clients Say:
What makes our day? Hearing from our clients that something we made
available to them made a difference! Recent feedback:
From Trudy Schrader in OR:
Let me know when your High Altitude Lavender is
in stock please.
I have found that if I mix Lavender and Bag
Balm it is the best burn cream I have ever
found. I do a lot of cast iron cooking and that
leads to a lot of burns. I keep a jar of the mix
with me and as soon as I get a burn it goes
right on the spot. With in seconds the hurt
stops and a few min. later you never know it was
burned.
I grabbed the handle of a pot that had been in a
400+ oven with a bare hand, frying one finger.
Was told by an EMT it should have skin graft but
after two weeks of lavender and bag balm the
dead skin came off and you would never know it
was burned. It also never hurt after the first
day, just my mix every so often each day and a
clean cotton finger over it was all I did. The
burned skin turned hard like plastic and after
two weeks I scrubbed it off with a brush, still
no pain, and I do have full feeling and use of
it now.
I told Trudy that as a city gal I had never heard of Bag Balm
until online friends started talking about it. For the other
city gals in our readership, you may read what
wikipedia says about Bag Balm here. If you prefer not
to use a product containing petrolatum or lanolin, you might
want to try our
Sunburn Soother...we've had raves about its use for kitchen
burns. Stress?????
Kimberly Ayers recently
blogged about our Cape Chamomile for stress relief.

Office
Aromas:
Ann Vetter Hansen from Bellingham WA wrote:
"Just wanted to let you know that my
family law clients love how my office
smells. I just had one come in who just
seemed to adore the Valour I have on my
aroma lamp. So I\'m getting her the
anointing oil.
I really think I have more relaxed clients
on the days I remember to use my Valour or
Reunite."
Stands to reason... Any time I need to deal with a lawyer, I need
something to either calm my anxiety or increase my courage. Wonderful
choices for a Law office.

Hints and Tips
From a ten year old newsletter:
Blending VERY wee quantities, or very weak dilutions?
From my old friend Stacey - blend creator extraordinaire!
I've got directions on diluting down an adult dose of 3 drops EO down
to 1/12th if you need it. (My brain hurts thinking
about how to reduce 1
drop to 1/12th.)
Put 60 drops of the carrier oil you're using into
a small cup/bowl.
Add 1 drop EO.
'Stir' blend with the glass part of an eyedropper.
Measure out 15 drops of this blend with the
eyedropper.
Add these 15 drops to the bottle you'll be using
for the rest of the massage blend. this will give
you 1/4 of one drop of the essential oil.
Seems to me this can be very handy indeed when trying to
reduce a formula, for
an infant, or the aged/infirm, etc.
More, from years past:
A blend for the children....
A friend's son had been going through some
difficult changes recently, and the bits and pieces of
TV news he has seen have made a hard time even more difficult for the little guy.
(He's in Kindergarten.)
So she made him his very own soap... with a blend we
think we'll name "Inner Child"
Equal parts of Red
Mandarine, Bulgarian Lavender, and English Chamomile.
Her son loves it. We love it. Over the years
we've gifted other children with it.
The Lavender and English Chamomile are obviously gently
quieting
and sedating. The Mandarine, one of the few other oils
recommended
for young children, is uplifting, and smile-bringing,
without stimulating
either the physical body or the mind and emotions. A
lovely bedtime
bath blend or bedtime backrub blend, if your children
are disturbed
by the world around them. Or for your own inner child, who
has REASON
to be disturbed by the world around us!
