Juniper
General
- An
evergreen shrub or tree up to 6m high with bluish-green stiff needles. It has
small flowers and berries which are green in the first year, black in second
and third. Essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from the berries.
Although these valuable berries are produced from a native shrub, the berries
of commerce are chiefly collected from plants cultivated in Hungary. But the
rise in the price of foreign oil of Juniper berries since the outbreak of war
has directed attention to the possible extended production of the oil either in
Great Britain or Europe or Canada. Sunny slopes are likely to be the best
places to cultivate the shrub for the berries. The yield of oil, however,
varies considerably in different years.
Uses - Juniper berry essential oil is steam distilled from the berries
or a combination of berries and twigs, which produces a pungent, herbaceous,
peppery, pine like and camphor like aroma. Used in massage oils, liniments, and

General - Helichrysum Essential oil
extracted by steam distillation. The word Helichrysum is derived from the Greek
"Helios" meaning sun and "chrysos" meaning gold, referring
to the color of many of the flowers of species in this genus. Helichrysum as an
herb has been revered since the time of Homer and the ancient Greeks for its
great wound healing ability. Fifteen years ago French aroma therapists started
to distill several variations and investigated possible Therapeutic (Therapeutic)
uses of this oil. The Helichrysum Italicum plant grows wild in Mediterranean
regions, preferring high altitudes and dry, sunny spots. In the eastern part of
the Mediterranean a reddish oil is distilled, whereas in the French and Italian
Alps a blue-green oil is distilled. After having experimented with many types
of everlasting oils, aroma therapists found one variety, the Helichrysum
italicum variation serotinum, with absolutely extraordinary healing qualities,
but only if the oil is distilled from the flower alone. Helichrysum is more
anti- inflammatory than German Chamomile, more tissue regenerating than
Lavender, more cicatrisant (helping the formation of scar tissue) than
Frankincense. Along with Frankincense, Myrrh, Spikenard, and Rose, Helichrysum
ranks as one of the most ancient and valuable healing substances. It heals
physical and emotional scarring, it opens the heart
Uses - Helichrysum essential oil is used in Europe for respiratory
complaints such as asthma chronic bronchitis and whooping coughs; also for
headaches, migraine, liver ailments and skin conditions including burns,
allergies, and psoriasis. Richly aromatic, the essential oil Helichrysum,
soothes your body and raises your spirits with the subtle scent of honey and
flora. When mixed with mixing oil and massaged into sore muscles, it can help
soothe aches, pains, sprains, and strains, relaxing the body and easing the
tension knotted into the musculature. Helichrysum is like "an eraser"
on bruises. When diffused in a diffuser, Helichrysum helps invigorate your
mind, eases nervous tension, and uplifts your mood.

chamomile, labdunum, lavender, mimosa, oak moss, clary sage, rose, peru balsam,
