Product Description text

The following material is a brief description of the traditional uses of many essential oils and my own blended formulas. While you are using any oil or blend of oils for a particular purpose you may discover benefits not usually listed with that particular oil. That's what makes AROMATHERAPY so exciting. Please share your experiences!

Ambrette or Abel Mosk: Abelmoschus moschatus: Moderately yang. This oil is obtained from the Musk Mallow, related to hollyhock. Since the Musk deer is almost extinct from over harvesting, this is the best vegetable substitute for musk. The fragrance is sweet, deep and flowery. It is considered strengthening and erotic. It blends well with jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, tonka, geranium, lemon, lime, sandalwood.

Attar of Rose: Rosa damascena; FCC Yin. The flower of the heart has long been a symbol for completeness. The red rose symbolizes love and desire, the white rose symbolizes purity. It balances the whole body both physically and psychologically. Rose oil comforts in times of sorrow, lightens sadness, and opens the heart. The grieving or heavy heart cannot properly balance the body's energies and makes us more vulnerable to illness. Rose oil will gently dissolve the blockage. It may take on the quality of tonic or relaxant. It cleanses the vascular, digestive, reproductive and nervous system. It is a popular oil for pregnancy and birth. It is used for menstruation, vaginitis, fever, wounds, shingles, herpes, all skin types. This is one of the most expensive oils. If you see it priced low, it is either cut or a synthetic copy.

Basil: Ocimum basilicum: FCC Moderately yang. It is an herb of Leo and the Sun, noble and kingly with a sweet, floral, spicy fragrance. Used for indigestion, vomiting, gastroenteritis, earache, colds, sinus, muscular spasm, anxiety, indecision, asthma, bronchitis, wasp stings. In cooking it is added at less than .005% or 1 drop per half-gallon of food. It stimulates menstruation so avoid during pregnancy.

Beeswax absolute or honey oil is a deep earthy, mild, warm fragrance having aphrodisiac qualities. It would also be helpful for allergies and all things bee products are used for. It calms, relaxes and balances. Good for colds & sensitive or inflamed skin. It combines well with tangerine and vanilla.

Bergamot: Citrus bergamia: Beragaptene free. Moderately yang. Warm, citrus-like. Used for sore throat, fungal infections, vaginal itching, fever, anorexia, colic, intestinal parasites, anxiety, emotional imbalance. Natural bergamot oil contains a chemical that causes photosensitivity and is used sparingly in some tanning lotions but not used properly it causes brown patches and can cause sun burn. For this reason we buy only BP free bergamot oil to protect our customers. Keep in mind all other citrus oils make you more vulnerable to sun burn if worn outside. Used at 1% or less it is helpful with skin conditions. A higher amount can have the opposite effect. FCC bergamot can be special ordered. It is the flavoring used in Earl Grey tea.

Birch, Sweet: FCC: Betula lenta. Betula is the true word for virgin in Hebrew and means separated. She is Virgo the one mentioned as oppressed in Isaiah. The virgin who "shall conceive and give birth to the Messiah" is Almah and means a maiden or unmarried girl, not necessarily a virgin. Birch works like cortisone and is used for joint or muscle pain. Used for tendonitis, rheumatism and arthritis. Nice clean smell. Interesting that Virgo's quality is cleanliness and purification. It also is a blood cleanser, and contains up to 96% methylsalicylate which gives it a wintergreen smell and is an ultraviolet absorber. Methylsalicylate by itself is toxic, lethal dose in children 10cc, adults 30 cc so use caution. It is a counterirritant and local anesthetic, disinfectant and dissolves uric acid.

Bitter Almond: FCC Prunus amygdales: Yang. The popular flavoring which despite it's name, is warm and sweet.

Cajeput: Melaleuca minor or leucadendron: Tea Tree relative with strong antiseptic properties and high terpene content. Used for bronchial disturbances, colds, flu, throat and urinary infections, diarrhea, inflammations of the small intestines, parasites in the ascaridae and oxyruidae families. It is also used for ear and tooth aches. Caution; high doses may cause stomach irritation or vomiting.

Camphor: Cinnamomum camphora: Yin. Used as a diuretic, for constipation, depression, shock, respiratory conditions, acne, wounds, rheumatic pain.

Cedarwood, Red: Juniperis virginiana: Yang. The familiar smell of cedar closet and pencils. Used as an antiseptic, astringent, diuretic, expectorant, sedative, bug repellent, skin diseases, urinary and respiratory tract disorders and possibly even cancer.

Chamomile, German Blue: FCC Matricaria chamomilla: Yin This tiny daisy-like yellow and white flower yields a thick deep indigo blue oil. The color is caused by the high amount of azulene it contains. For this reason it is an excellent pain reliever and anti-inflammatory oil. The fragrance is slightly fruity but very deep. It is calming & used for colitis, gallbladder, colic, fever, eczema, cramps, PMS, allergies, anger, insomnia, depression, irritated skin, hair care, sunburn.

Chamomile, Roman: Anthemis nobilis: FCC Yin. Much lower in azulene content but is less expensive and a prettier smell. Same uses as above, although it may not be as effective for tough problems.

Chamomile, Morrocco: Ormensis multicaulis: Moderately Yang. Also called Wild chamomile but it is not a chamomile at all. My reference materials don't list therapeutic uses although one client reports help with menstrual problems. I suspect this is true since "menses" is hidden in the Latin name.

Cinnamon, Cassia Bark: Cinnamomum zeylanicum: FCC Yang. This is the type sold as ground cinnamon. Good for older people who chill easily in the winter or for emotional coldness. It stimulates breathing and the heart. It also strengthens the nervous system. Never use undiluted, it is hot like cayenne. Try making your own cinnamon toothpicks by soaking in a drop or two diluted in water, then dried.

Fennel: Foeniculum vulgare: FCC. Yin. Licorice type of fragrance. Used for whole digestive system, colic, cough, hoarseness, hiccups, PMS, irregular menses, moisturizing, stress, nerves.

Frankincense, Olibanum: Boswellia sacra: Yang. As the species name, sacra, implies, frankincense is a sacred herb long used to bless and protect the temple from "evil spirits". It was one of the wise gifts to the Christ Child and I believe it resonates to the sacral chakra. Frankencense tears (dried resin) burns like incense with a spicy, woody fragrance. It is highly antiseptic and astringent making it a good facial oil. It helps to heal wounds, smooth wrinkles, reduce inflammation and soothes bronchitis and colds.

Garlic: Allium sativum: FCC. Antibacterial/antibiotic. Good in the garden to ward of pest and other demons and to fight bacterial diseases. Can also be used in food but very sparingly. For medicine most prefer the odorless capsules.

Ginger: Zingiber officinale: Yang. FCC. The best nausea relief I've found, even the most severe morning sickness. If tainted food needs purged, though, ginger speeds the process, otherwise the stomach will soon settle down. It warms and stimulates the whole system, especially the digestive system. It regulates moisture and raised the body temperature.. It is used for colds, flu, headaches, muscle tension, it is antiseptic, relieves flatulence and helps with impotence.

Grapefruit: Citrus paradisi: Yang. FCC. Euphoric, fruity fragrance. Used for depression, eating disorders, liver, gallbladder, cellulite, circulation, jock-itch. As with all citrus oils, guard against sunburn.

Helichrysum or Immortelle: Helichrysum angustifolium; Yang; FCC. This everlasting flower has a warm, herbal, woody, rose-like fragrance.

A balancing oil, used for depression, stress, anger, fluid retention, dandruff, hair loss, burns, wounds, insect stings, eczema, ulcers, rheumatism, herpes, infection, flu, colds, asthma, high BP. This is one oil I use neat for stings and bumps and bruises that happen with a house full of boys.

Lavender, Oregon: This oil has retained more of the sweet note of the plant, probably because they don't have the native wild lavender found in France.

Lemon: Citrus limon: FCC. Moderately yang. Used for infectious diseases, colds, fever, asthma, anemia, heartburn, varicose veins, rheumatism, swelling, oily skin, freckles, dandruff. Lemon oil is used in European hospitals to disinfect. Studies show it will kill germs causing pneumonia in three to four hours and staphylococcus germs in 5 minutes. It also stimulates the mind, helping the brain to think more clearly and efficiently.

Lemongrass: Cymbopogon citratus. FCC. Yang. Strong citrus fragrance and flavor. Used in Asian cooking, stimulates digestion, kidneys, lymph drainage, soothes varicose veins, is refreshing, astringent and helps close open pores.

Myrrh: Commiphora species: Yang. FCC. Aromatic, deep fragrance, bitter flavor. Historical use as incense, in preserving mummies and is another gift to the Christ Child. Actually, Mary's name is really Myrrah and means bitter, the kind of bitterness that promotes change.

Patchouli: Pogostemon cablin: FCC. Yang. Woodsy, earthy, smoky fragrance. Used for viral infections, wounds, yeast infections, moth repellent, aphrodisiac. Not too many people like the fragrance by itself but it makes a good base note in a blend as it grounds and binds the other oils together, giving it an earthy longer lasting quality. One customer reports it helps her with ADHD, as does caffine. She said they both mellow her out and help her to focus. This is an example of an opposite reaction. While a person with normal brain patterns would be stimulated and have scattered thought patterns with these substances, a person with ADD or ADHD will have the opposite response. The oil is chemically similar to marijuana, so much so that it can confuse dogs used by the police in drug searches.

Pennyroyal: Mentha pulegium. Long used as a bug repellant and to induce early abortion or bring on delayed menses and expel afterbirth. Fragrance is minty. As a tea it promotes digestion, elimination and clears phlegm.

St. John’s Wort: Hypericum perforatum: Named after John the Baptist because it bloomed on his birthday, June 24, and bleed red oil from leaf glands on the day in August he was said to have been beheaded. Early Christians used the plant to ward off the devil. It is excellent for all types of sores, wounds, burns, boils and nerve pain.

This is a grass-root oil, that is, the oil is obtained from the root of the Vetiver grass.

Synergistic Thereaputic Blends

The following formulas are available as a massage oil, lotion, or pure undiluted essential oils.

Ace of Spades contains lemon and other oils that help with mental clarity and centering. It should be useful during study, testing or work. I used it on my son with a soar throat and fever. It kept his fever down to 101* so we could avoid Tylenol and the sore throat went away in a day. Myrrh oil as a gargle is helpful for an serious sore throat.

Alpha Care baby oil contains chamomile, sweet fennel, lavender and bergamot which have traditionally been used for colic, cradle cap and sensitive skin. It is in the newborn set or sold separately.

Anti-Candida is a blend of anti-fungal oils to treat yeast or other fungal conditions. Customers have reported success with athlete's foot. I often don't have opportunity to personally test my formulas but had two opportunities with this one. First I found out cutting someone's hair, especially if you're clumsy and cut yourself like I did, is an invitation to the candida parasite. Also, using that person's nail clippers is another invitation. Diabetics will especially find this blend helpful since sugar and yeast are best buddies. Venus, (ie. sugar, sweetness and love) likes to be shared so if you hoard her, those little yeast beasts are sure to come and try to control the population. A tampon saturated with the massage oil is useful for vaginal yeast. Apply the pure essential oil to clippers or scissors.

It is believed that although men don't always show the symptoms, they are the carriers and yeast is definitely passed from person to person so it is wise to have your partner treat himself also. Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees. The word means to separate, cleave or divide. They believed not only in the written law but also in the oral law of tradition which multiplied the legal burden, much like yeast multiplies. But remember a house divided against itself cannot stand. Pretty soon we have no freedom left. Follow the law of love. A few drops added to water and used as a rinse should do the trick or the massage oil can be applied.
Aphrodite is a sensual blend named after the Love Goddess. I thought about naming it Esther which is the Biblical, Hebrew equivalent. It contains several oils considered to be aphrodisiac and are used to balance the reproductive system and libido. It is a little pricey because of the ingredients, such as jasmine and tuberose. Men and women alike will find this blend inviting. A beautiful aid for Tantra and Kama Sutra.

Autumn Spice is a more masculine fragrance combining citrus, sandalwood and spices.

Baby is a mild blend of Roman chamomile and Oregon lavender. It is soothing and good for baby's sensitive skin.
CelluFight contains oils to combat cellulite. Briskly massage into troubled areas or use as a bath. Better yet combine both treatments.

Chivalry is a masculine blend of woods, roots, grasses and leaves. Rosewood is the dominant oil followed closely by lemongrass and Cedarwood.

Elation (mildly yang) is suggested for depression, anxiety and tension. It contains sandalwood, clary & lavender. It is intended to balance, uplift and stimulate, yet calm and bring harmony.

Equinox is a blend of nine oils including Roman chamomile, melissa, neroli, & rose. It should have a balancing, exotic but refreshing effect. It is a good room freshener. Use to celebrate and honor balance and equality.

Eust (yin) contains eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon and bergamot. "Eu" as a prefix means good or well. It will have similar effects as the Sinus formula but will be more refreshing because of the citrus oils.

Eye of Ra is a recent addition I developed for a stye Michael developed on the underside of his lower eye lid. I applied the massage oil in a circle around his eye, bringing it down the bridge of his nose also. It assisted in draining it but I had to continue applying for a while after it appeared to be gone, much like doing antibiotics, it needs the full course. It contains chamomile, tea tree, lemongrass, cypress etc.

Femunique (Mildly yang) was developed for the ways women are unique, especially menopause. It is meant to balance and guide us through the cycles of life, allowing us to become "Wise Women" as God intends us to be. It contains clary, vetiver and jasmine, etc. This formula should not be used internally since jasmine is an absolute.

Glandular is a blend of oils for any of the glands (pancreas, thyroid etc.) I haven't had enough circulation of this oil yet to get feedback. My hope is that it could reduce the need for medication so be aware of the need to work with you physician whenever using complimentary treatments so you can adjust as necessary.

High Priestess holds a special place in my heart. It brought me through a tough year. It contains 11 oils including, among others, orange as one of the top notes, rose as one of the heart notes, and rosewood and jasmine as 2 of the base notes. It is my (Tau) signature fragrance and after a year I was ready to offer it along with my other products. I use it as my personal perfume, but massage therapists are using it for clients who are anxious or need centering and grounding.

Icarus Sun Oil contains sweet almond and jojoba oils along with several essential oils to help tan the skin. Be sure to keep a bottle of Isis on hand if you overdo and get burned. Icarus is the name of a mythological character (and asteroid) who flew too close to the sun and teaches us to stay away from danger by thinking through possible consequences before we act.

Immunity is intended to boost and stimulate the immune system. It has oils that are anti-bacterial, fungal and viral. It contains patchouli to stimulate the appetite the way marijuana does. I am told it works but don't worry if you are overweight. It won't encourage unhealthy or unnatural eating habits. It is a good oil to diffuse in the home or office during cold and flue season or whenever you fear the great plague.

Inner Peace (Yang) contains ylang ylang, patchouli and other oils. You may find it helps with depression or hypertension. I sense it has an electrical effect helping to purify the chakra system, improving the flow of energy.
Lavender Lace (Yin) is intended purely for pleasure, mine! I find it relaxing and use it as a perfume. It contains geranium, ylang ylang and lavender.

Lymph, Daily is a blend of juniper, and other oils to assist in lymph drainage along with gentle massage. I put this together with mastectomy patients in mind. I am still in need of feedback on this product.

Lymph, Weekly is a blend of Helichrysum or Immortelle, Rockrose, etc. It is intended to be used weekly, preferably with someone skilled in energy movement. Please keep the feedback coming so I can serve you well.

Mamma (yin) is intended for use during pregnancy and childbirth. It can also be helpful when discontinuing breastfeeding. It contains clary, vetiver, jasmine and lavender. These herbs are traditionally used for stretch marks, loose skin, balancing hormones and as a uterine tonic. If massaged into the perineum during pregnancy it may help it to stretch enough during the birth to eliminate the need for stitches. Not internal.

Michael is a very sensual blend of oils used as aphrodisiacs. It is named after my favorite archangle. Michael means "Who is like God?" Perfect for turning what might have been only a physical union into a spiritual union, don't you think? Michael is the archangle of the Sun so it may help you shine like a star.

Mobility (yang) contains juniper, capsican, lavender, thyme and clary. It is intended to stimulate and regenerate nerves. It should also be useful for stiffness and soreness.
Narnia (yin) is intended for children young and old. It contains vanilla, melissa and tangerine. It would work well as a room freshener also.

New Moon is a blend of oils for Menorrhagia. Notice the word Hag hidden there. Hecate the dark moon goddess was called the hag. Menorrhagia is any abnormal bleeding or clotting. Always have a check up if this occurs in case there is a real problem. I put this together when I was spotting between cycles. I massaged it on my abdomen during one cycle and the problem was gone.

Patchouli Gold (yang) has 7 other oils added to patchouli to soften the affect while still keeping its masculine quality. It contains bergamot, jasmine, cinnamon, peru balsam, among others.

PMS (yang) contains clary, ylang ylang, fennel and chamomile. Use for cramps, hormone imbalance, depression, irregular menses, etc.
Rose Garden (yin) is for rose lovers. It contains attar of rose, geranium, and others. It is balancing, sensual and uplifting.

Sinus (yin) contains eucalyptus, lemon eucalyptus and camphor. It is intended to clear the mucus membrane, cool a fever, inhibit germs, and may even loosen stiff muscles. Sniff for 3 to 5 minutes and sinus headache goes away.

Sterling Rose (yang) was intended purely for pleasure but a customer reports it was very helpful for her bad knees used in the bath. It contains geranium, patchouli and bergamot.

Stretchease is a blend, when used as a massage oil, that should minimize stretch marks. Use it on a daily basis during pregnancy.

TLC (yang) contains Tea tree, Lemon and Camphor to give tender loving care while fighting colds and flu. It has similar qualities to the Sinus formula but is a little more pleasant to the nose.

Tuscany is another more masculine blend containing Clary, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, benzoin, lemongrass, tangerine.
Vericlose Vein is gently massaged in an upward motion over varicose veins or spider veins. Don’t be too vigorous or aggressive. The fragrance is pleasant and cleansing.
Winter Solstice contains cinnamon, frankensence, myrrh, and others. Originally I named it Noel for the holiday season but felt this title was more appropriate.

CAUTION: If you have allergies be aware of your sensitivities. It is very rare for reactions to natural essences but it is possible. If pregnant consult you health care professional before any treatments and use at 1/2 strength. A few authors suggest pregnant women avoid some oils such as peppermint. I personally consumed quite a bit for heartburn during my pregnancies but I will share the cautions I have read. Pennyroyal should be avoided during pregnancy as it is an abortificant. Listen to your body.

Calendula and Comphrey, the two herbs that the product is named for, along with lemon and bergamot have been traditionally used for general healing, rheumatism, chilblains, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, enteritis, liver and stomach problems, psoriasis, anxiety, burns, wounds, bruises and as an antiseptic. Comphrey is also called knit-bone because of its tradition use for broken bones. It contains allentoin which stimulates cell production. In my experience, though, products that contain just allentoin are missing something found in the whole plant and it doesn't heal as well as comphrey root.

Caley Cream: I developed this ointment in 1991 for my fifth son's diaper rash. Completely by accident I found it was helpful for psoriasis and other skin conditions. I have never used a better healing cream.

Caley Gold contains the addition of goldenseal, myrrh and tea tree oils for cuts and infections or general wound healing. If the diaper rash is caused by a bacteria this is the best.

Caley Lip Balm is Tangerine flavored and contains essential oils especially for winter care.

Caley Rhuemacare is intended to be used for any rheumatic problems ranging from bronchitis to arthritis, for sports injuries, inflammation or pain. The base is our caley oil with benzoin, blue chamomile, eucalyptus and clary oils. The official "active" ingredient is capsicum (cayenne) oil so be careful not to rub your eyes with it on your hands.

Caley Osteocare oil contains wintergreen, peppermint, etc. It has the traditional "Bengay" type of smell without the unnecessary synthetic ingredients. This formula is good for people who are a little hot (emotions, temper etc) and could use a little cooling down.

Caley BBB (bones, bumps & bruises) contains arnica, traditionally used for sprains or other blows to the bones or muscles but should not be used on open wounds. Comphrey has been called knitbone throughout history because of its ability to mend broken bones or generate other kinds of living cell tissue.

Alpha Care Herbal Extract contains the wonderful "Swedish Bitters" and witch hazel in an alcohol base. I used it on my last baby's umbilical stump and it dropped in half the time. I also believe it helped with the usual newborn jaundice since he was the only one out of sixth that showed no sign of it. The herbs in it are recommended for liver ailments so I'm not surprised. It would also be soothing and astringent to hemorrhoids. It is in the newborn gift set.

Alpha Care Oil contains oils good for cradle cap on the head or colic if massaged onto the tummy. It is part of the Newborn Set.

Alpha Care Ear Oil also contains Swedish Bitters blended with Sweet oil traditionally used for ear infections. My 1st four sons all made the routine trips to the doctor during their infant and toddler years but my last two sons have never needed the doctor and usually only one or two applications of the ear oil. Alcohol and oil separates so it has to be shaken each use.

Alpha Care Castle Soap is a gentle natural liquid soap with lavender oil. All of the Alpha Care products are in the newborn set along with a jar of caley cream.

Isis Burn Spray contains aloe which is known to heal burns but Isis is superior in reliving the pain because of lavender and other ingredients. Stored in the fridge, it feels even better. It also gives temporary relief with certain itching.

Jewel Lotion for poison ivy and other irritations like nettle rash contains an alcohol extract of jewel weed, found growing near poison ivy, along with lavender to sooth.

Hand and Body Lotion is all natural (with the exception of 2 preservatives necessary for long shelf life. It contains no mineral oil (jojoba and apricot oil instead) or alcohol. It nourishes and protects.

Mineral Bath Salts is a blend of Soda and Sea Salt. It is cleansing and draws out toxins. Follow with massage and bath oil.

New: Swedish Bitters herbal extract Swedish bitters is the well known herbal remedy named by the well-known 18th century Swedish Physician, Dr. Claus Samst. It originated with Dr. Phillipus Paracelsus, a Swiss Physician who lived around 1541. It was redescovered by the well know Austrian herbalist, Maria Treben. The herbs are extracted through vodka making it safe for external or internal use. It is my favorite antiseptic and I often use it with Caley cream to disinfect and heal. The extract have been used historically for many things, including digestive disorders and cancer.

CAUTION: If you have allergies be aware of your sensitivities. It is very rare for reactions to natural essences but it is possible. If pregnant consult you health care professional before any treatments and use at 1/2 strength. A few authors suggest pregnant women avoid some oils such as peppermint. I personally consumed quite a bit for heartburn during my pregnancies but I will share the cautions I have read. Pennyroyal should be avoided during pregnancy as it is an abortificant. Listen to your body.
