Got some new Oils.

Just got my new order of essential oils from Anatolian Treasures today, 8 new or replacement oils. One of the things that I love about Anatolian Treasures is there labeling: they put the common name, botanical name, how it was grown, how it was distilled, at lot number, the date it was distilled and what part of the world it is from. They do have GC / MS of all there oils that they can send you. The oils I get are: Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora, Australia), sweet lemon scent that is very antibacterial and antifungal and unlike others it keeps is antiseptic powers when defused. High Alt Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia, France), this is the classic lavender, soft, flowery, and powdery. Distilled Lime (Citrus aurantifolia, Mexico) sweet and candy like, this one is not just distilled from the peal but the whole fruit! Blue Tansy (Tanecetum annum Morocco) very deep blue, sweet apple like scent. Red Myrtle Leaf, high Cineole (Myrtus communis, Morocco), has a very light red tent, warm, little musty and moss like in its scent. Love this one for upper repertory issues. Spanish Sage (Salvia lavandulaefolia, Spain), sharp scent, cuts right into the sinuses and lungs. Cajeput (Melaleuca cajupuyii, Australia), much sweeter then tea tree with a slight citrus scent. Not near as antiseptic in its smell as other in the Melaleuca family. And last Yellow Mandarin (Citrus deliciosa, Italy) a very soft sweet citrus scent, lighter then the green or red Mandarin.

Anatolian Treasures has been one of the best essential oil companies I have had the privilege to work with. I recommend them to everyone.

Elemi essential oil

ELEMI, Canarium luzonicum, you are an essential oil I just about never use. TODAY I am putting you to work. Flipping through one of my book I see that you are a antiseptic, balsamic, cicatisant, expectorant, stimulant, stomachic and a tonic. You are good to help catarrhal conditions, easing congestion and controls excess mucus. They say you help control coughs. So mixed you up to a 15% delusion and lightly massaging you into my neck. You better work.
