Sandalwood African
Osyris lanceolata Therapeutic Properties antiseptic, antidepressant, diuretic, tonic, aphrodisiac, emollient, calming, decongestant
Aromatic Considerations African sandalwood has a strong, sweet aroma which rapidly gives way to a woody aroma similar to cedarwood. The aroma of sandalwood in general gives one a sense of inner peace and tranquility. Application African sandalwood can be worn anywhere on the body. It can be diffused anywhere and everywhere, lending its relaxing, peaceful scent to all who come in contact with it. Emotional/Spiritual Because of the high percentage of sesquiterpenes in sandalwood oil, it readily crosses the blood/brain barrier. This, in turn, increases the oxygen around the pineal and pituitary glands in the brain, as well as the amygdala. This elevated oxygen level in the brain can also help us control our fears and alleviate mental confusion. Sandalwood has the ability to unlock the emotional trauma stored in the DNA of our cells. By unlocking this trauma, it can help us curb our manipulative and controlling tendencies. Physical Aspects African sandalwood, like Indian sandalwood, is relaxing and soothing, promoting restful and relaxing sleep. It can sooth the skin, relieving itching and inflammation and is very effective for its anti-aging properties. Other uses of sandalwood include bladder and throat infections, bronchitis, and other respiratory distresses. General Information Currently, sandalwood is considered an endangered species in India. Steps are being taken to promote and protect the growing conditions of the sandalwood trees. In light of this, other species, like Osyris lanceolata, are being distilled for use as therapeutic grade essential oils. |

Osteoporosis
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Osteoporosis is defined by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. This deterioration leaves the bones brittle and susceptible to fractures. The best treatment for osteoporosis is prevention. This prevention should be a life long process. The majority of our bone mass is developed before the age of 30. After that, bone thinning and deterioration are a natural part of the aging process. |

But there is good news!!!
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Our bone tissue is alive. It is stimulated by weight bearing exercise. This type of exercise, coupled with proper nutritional intake, causes our bones to become stronger and denser. Weight bearing exercises are exercises that force the muscles to work against gravity or work against some resistance. Our bones gain strength by having weight or resistance placed upon them. Weight bearing exercises are the only type of exercise that stimulates the cells to grow new bone and prevent osteoporosis. Weight bearing exercises not only prevent bone loss, but some studies suggest that it can also replace current bone loss. Performing weight bearing and resistance exercises at least three times a week can help our bones stay alive and continue to support us as we age. |

Weight bearing exercises include:
Fast walking – adding ankle weights can provided added resistance Jogging – although jogging on concrete is not recommended Jumping and jumping jacks – a mini trampoline is excellent for this Working with resistance bands Yoga Dancing Weight lifting |

Lemon (Citrus limonum)
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Ingredient In
Aromatic Considerations Lemon essential oil fills the air with a light, refreshing scent of lemons while it nourishes the nervous systems of everyone close by. Application Lemon oil should be diluted and applied to any area of the body. Since it helps dissolve cellulite, applying lemon to areas where cellulite has accumulated would be a good idea. Be sure to dilute to avoid irritation. Emotional/Spiritual Aspects Lemon brings clarity of thought, aids in logical thinking, helps us prioritize, and helps us connect cause and effect in our lives. Lemon is a good oil for study sessions, improving attention span, and problem solving. Lemon oil can bring a dose of reality to our thinking. It can help us analyze our resentments, decide if they are based on reality or not, and then help us let go of them—real or not! Lemon makes it easier to handle the stresses of life with a sense of humor. Physical Aspects Lemon essential oil supports the respiratory system and is useful for asthma, bronchitis, sore throat, sinusitis, and most other respiratory complaints. Lemon oil tightens smooth muscles and strengthens connective tissue throughout the body. Lemon oil can be used for a liver or lymphatic cleanse.

Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii)
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||
|
Ingredient In
Aromatic Considerations Rose (not palmarosa) is a very expensive and fragrant essential oil, but in a blend of oils, the aroma of rose can be overpowered by the other ingredients. The medicinal value is still there, but much of the aroma of the rose is lost. Palmarosa, when added to a blend which has rose as one of the ingredients, emphasizes the scent of roses. This vastly improves the bouquet of the blend. Palmarosa reduces stress and tension while relaxing tight muscles and lessening pain. Application Palmarosa, though a very mild essential oil, should still be diluted before applying to the body. A drop or two, however, may be worn, undiluted, as a perfume. Emotional/Spiritual Aspects Sometimes, in an attempt to cover insecurities within ourselves or to cover past hurts, we hold onto to situations or people so tightly that they feel they must struggle to be free. Palmarosa helps us to embrace change and let go. Since we live in an ever changing world, there are many times when we must let go of the old way of doing and being in order to move forward and grow. If we are constantly ‘letting go and letting God’ direct our lives for our good, we will not just be changing, we will be growing toward the best we can be. Our success and happiness will be inevitable and assured. Palmarosa can help us enjoy being versatile and adaptable as we move through the changes that life always brings. This strength within oneself reduces stress and tension and eliminates the sort of nervous exhaustion that resisting life creates. If you have already exhausted yourself in the struggle against change, try palmarosa—or blends containing it—to balance and strengthen yourself. The lovely aroma of this essential oil promotes recovery and strengthens resolve. Those who believe that a plant’s shape and environment denote its medicinal value would say that the long stem of this aromatic grass waving with the breeze indicates flexibility and freedom of movement. This adaptability (going with the flow) is yin in nature. But palmarosa is firmly rooted in the earth, giving it both adaptability and a feeling of security. Palmarosa is suited for people who cannot abide change, the frequent absence of loved ones, or who frequently suffer from homesickness. This would be a good oil to try for children who get very upset when their mother must leave them for a few minutes. Physical Aspects Palmarosa is used in skin care regimens for all types of skin. This essential oil balances the production of sebum, making it effective for both oily and dry skin types. Palmarosa stimulates new cell growth, making it an effective oil in the treatment of scarring from acne or injury. Palmarosa seems to have a beneficial effect on thyroid hormones and acts as a uterine and vaginal tonic. This essential oil acts against fungal infections, bacterial infections, and candida. Cautions Palmarosa is a very mild essential oil. There are no known contraindications for its use. |
