Chaste Tree (Vitex Agnus castus)
Vitex essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and berries of the plant. There is a lot of literature about herbal uses for this plant, but very little documented useage of the essential oil. Claims have been made that it enhances the production of progesterone and brings balance to the female hormones; may ease menstrual discomforts such as cramps, irritability, headaches, depression and breast swelling; also works well for reducing the symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes; preliminary trials suggest effectiveness for women suffering from infertility and irregular periods; in herbal form is used for polycystic ovarian syndrome, uterine fibroids, infertility, and miscarriages due to luteal phase defects (ask me about this last problem - too lengthy a discussion for this page)

Cautions: contra-indicated for pregnancy, except possibly to prevent early miscarriage in women with problems in the luteal phase of the pregnancy. Just not enough information or studies done on this topic yet - that I can find.
Vitex agnus castus is native to the Mediterranean area (Turkey), while Vitex negundo is found in Asia and Africa. Studies are being conducted at Ege University in Izmir, Turkey, (according to Connie and Alan Higley Reference Guide for Essential Oils) on the use of Vitex oil for reversing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Higley seems to be indicating that the Vitex studied for Parkinson’s is Vitex negundo. Vitex (both of them) appears to be a natural source of L-dopa, which simulates production of the neuro-transmitter L-dopamine in the brain, which is why they are being looked at as a natural source of L-dopa for use with Parkinson’s disease. The essential oils of both plants contain sesquiterpenes which are the constituents of essential oils which allow them to cross the blood/brain barrier. The synthetic pharmaceutical products currently in use cannot do this, which makes them ineffective and is frustrating to the medical community.

Super C
Health Tip: by Sharon Moran
 
Super C tincture (formerly known as Super Cold and Lymph) is excellent when taken before you get sick to improve the immune system and help the body stay well and fight off cold and flu germs.  It is very helpful anytime the lymph system has become sluggish and needs to be drained.

Ingredients include: echinacea, elder flower, lobelia, Oregon grape, red clover, white pine and cayenne.

It is a glycerine tincture, making it very safe and effective for children to use.  Small doses, taken more frequently seem to work better than one large dose once a day.

Making Natural Cleansing Products

Making your own cleaning products allows you to limit the number of chemicals you are exposed to, saves you money and helps the environment as well.  Essential oils can be used in a variety of ways to help clean, deodorize and sanitize your home.  The ingredients are fairly easy to find - in fact you may already have most of them in your cupboards.  

Below are some recipes collected from people that make and use these products in their own homes.
   The following link can be used as a starting place for a web search.

Soft Scrubber
½ cup baking soda
liquid castile soap
5 drops of lavender essential oil OR
5 drops of tea tree essential oil
Place the baking soda in a bowl.  Slowly pour in the liquid soap stirring constantly.  Add enough soap until the consistency resembles frosting.  Add essential oil. If you add a little pure vegetable glycerine to the baking soda the scrubber will stay moist for a long time in a jar with a tight lid.
Hard Floor Cleaner
To clean hard floors, add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water.  Add 5 - 10 drops of lemon, pine, or spruce essential oil.  If the floor is especially soiled add a few drops of castile soap. from Karen Logan’s book Clean House, Clean Planet
Alice’s Wonder Spray All-Purpose Household Cleaner
Ingredients: Liquid Castile soap, white distilled vinegar,
borax, purified water, and an essential oil for fragrance
Place in a clean 16-oz. trigger spray bottle.

How to Make Your Own:

Mix 2 tbsp. of vinegar with 1 tsp. borax .
Fill the rest of the bottle with very hot water.
Shake until the borax is dissolved.
Add the 1/4 cup of liquid soap
Add 10 to 15 drops of an essential oil

I like to use a combination of lavender and lemon. Because minerals in the water inhibit cleaning, it's best to use purified or distilled water especially for this recipe. It's important to dissolve the borax in hot water so that it doesn't clog the spray nozzle. And don't mix the soap and vinegar directly together, because the soap will clump up. Please follow the order of the recipe by mixing the vinegar, borax, and water first and adding the soap last.

How to Use:
Spray and Wipe. Use Alice's Wonder Spray as you would any other all-purpose household cleaner.
Healthy Oven Cleaner:
1 quart warm water
2 teaspoons borax
2 tablespoons liquid soap

Spray on solution, wait 20 minutes, then clean.
Baking soda & water
Combine one cup of baking soda with enough water to make a paste. Apply it to your oven surfaces, and let it stand a short while. Use the scouring pad for scrubbing the surfaces. A spatula or bread knife is helpful for getting under large food deposits. This recipe will require some elbow grease, but it is not toxic to you or a child.
Natural Healthy Disinfectant Spray
2 Cups Water
1/4 Cup White Vinegar
1/4 tsp. Tea Tree Oil
1/4 tsp. Lavender Oil
(Of course I would use LeDeliverance!!)

Combine and store in a spray bottle. Shake occasionally.
Use where ever a disinfectant spray is needed..
