Sage Oils

There are many Essential oils with name of Sage. For example, Sage Oil, Clary Sage Oil. What are the major differences in composition and applications of both ?

As regards aromatherapy applications we know that Clary Sage blends well with Bergamot and Sandalwood to relax the mind and body and inspire confidence. You wont go far wrong with a blend containing these!

A common application of Sage oils properties in combination of those of Fennel Juniper Patchouli and Rosemary is in a massage blend for the treatment of cellulite.

Sage oil though very useful in professional hands as a minor part of a blend (useful also as an antifungal for a persistent infection and for its hormonal regulating properties for a relentlessly oily skin) should not be commonly used by the untrained. The composition of Sage oil can vary widely. As regards composition Thujone 22-38%, Camphor 2-24% and Cineole 5-18% should be raising red flags with everyone. So useful but a little goes a very long way.

By contrast Clary Sage has a typical composition of 35-45% linalyl acteate and Linalol 10-22% - sounds similar to a lavender doesnt it (typically 35-35% linalyl acetate and linalol 14-22%)

For this reason a dash of Clary Sage can give authenticity to the aroma of a mix of synthetically produced Linalyl acetate and Linalol.

We then look to the more minor alcohols to distinguish the oils of Clary Sage and Lavender in aroma. Sclareol in Clary Sage is 2-5%. Isolated from the concrete is it possible to arrive at an ambergis substitute.

The name of Clary Sage in German is Muskateller Salbeiol which speaks of its addition to alcoholic drinks. Robert Tisserand has a useful post "Is Clary Sage oil estrogenic" for those interested in the oils possible hormonal effects recorded in the aroma literature.

So in summary Clary Sage is there in Box One with the 48 commonly used oils and Sage is there in Box Two when you need to fight the foe!

In praise of Vetiver Oil

A Vetiver oil is steam distilled from the rhizomes of vetiveria zizanoides (aka Chrysopogon zizanioides. About 250 tonnes are produced annually.A very nice oil comes from madagascar. The main production areas are china, java and haiti. More on the oil contents (vetyvenene, khusmol+vertivone, isovalencenol, zizanoic acid and valencene) can be found on the wiki article by searching under Chrysopogon zizanioides.

 Personally I recommend vetiver oil in a mix for stress related anxiety and sleeplessness. It is used very sparingly as the aroma is very earthy, woody, smoky, herbaceous, spicy and strong all at the same time. For example if you are massaging with a stress and strains mix you might add half a drop of vetiver to the diluted mix in your cupped hand before applying to the hands and forearms of the client. This is an oil to use at home in the evening.

 Dont be suprised if the client immediately wants to sleep and sleeps very soundly indeed so not ideal if they (and you) plan to drive immediately afterwards! A diluted drop of bergamot in the morning bath will counter the tranquilising effects of the stress and strains mix+vetiver from the night before all ready for the day! If you are trying several essential oils at once leave inhaling the vetiver until last. The nose can be cleared by smelling instant coffee grounds and you are good to go again.

In praise of Peppermint oil

Peas with peppermint leaves and butter. Very nice. The leaves also contain valuable antioxidants. Peppermint is very easy to grow in a tub for a source of leaves and to introduce children to aromas and eating healthily. Serving a defensive function for the plant the oil is secreted in oil glands so using the leaves is practical whereas other oils are the product of their distillation. Peppermint tea is one of the most popular herbal teas. Peppermint supports liver function by improving the flow of bile from the liver to the gallbladder. 

Menthol with citral and camphor are certainly important and useful terpenoids central to aromatherapy which can be thought of as modified terpenes. The cooling effect is important and is used in veterinary medicine as a herbal poultice for inflamed tendons. The antispasmodic property of peppermint oil makes it useful for gastrointestinal treatments in capsules. 

I like to think of peppermint oil as having a stimulating politicians personality. We'll wake up and listen to them and give them our attention but in small doses! Blending? I'd be interesting in others thoughts. Do you have a favourite blend or does peppermint shout the other oils down?

Menthol

Menthone

Menthol and menthone are useful for illustrating aroma chemical family structures as they are simple and structurally related.  Add in citral, limonene, linalool and linalyl acetate and you cover a lot of ground quickly.

The Aromatherapy Bath


Aromatherapy Style Royalty Free Stock Photography
The bath or shower debate rumbles on.  Most working people aim to start the day with one or another these days.  Aromatherapy can help maintain a healthy balance of the the skin flora and natural body odour as well as a pleasing scent.  The aromatherapy bath is an essential beauty treatment.


Historically a "top and tail" with soap, a flannel and bowl of warm water sufficed for a healthy start to the day but the standard now in the average family home is more elaborate. Bath or shower is part of our ritual and a very pleasant, fresh way to start the day.  Considerations like water usage or bathroom space may play a part but lets put those aside and concentrate on personal care.

A walk in shower can easily harbour and promote the activities of those pesky funghi in those hard to reach places.  Usually the first toenail to go yellow, an indication of troubles ahead, is the little toe or big toe.  A bath by contrast is much easier to keep antiseptic.  So the aromatherapy bath has its place.

My personal preference is for the aromatherapy bath. With a little personal organisation a bath is no more time consuming than a shower nor is it necessary to fill the bath to the brim as you might for the weekend relaxing soak.  A water level to cover the hips is fine. My style is to add a squirt of Badedas. Then for particular aromatherapy effect a drop of essential oil.  I find a little essential oil goes a very long way. There are some 20 drops to a ml and so a 10ml bottle of your favourite essential oil or blend of essential oils is good for 200 baths.
  
The citrus oils and peppermint though stimulating are best avoided in the bath as they can irritate the skin.  As part of a blend however the citrus have their place.  To start with lets consider something more herbaceous.  All mothers know a drop of lavender oil at baby's bathtime in the sink can transform bathtime in the sink from an alien and upsetting experience into an eagerly anticipated delight.

One of the reasons aromatherapy works is the ability to stir pleasant sensory memory associations and feelings.  Below is a pan shot of lavender against mountains. Very beautiful. Very relaxing even without the aroma of the lavender and the hum of honey bees competing with the farmer to harvest the crop.



Not all lavenders are the same.  Their aromas vary according to the environment in which they are grown.  Bulgarian lavender has a sweet smell, French grown lavender a stronger smell.  Medicinal lavender has very little aroma.  The lavenders hail from the Lamiaceae plant family of flowering plants which also gives us the commonly used essential oils of Basil, Clary Sage, Hyssop, Sweet Marjoram, Melissa, Patchouli, Sage.

Venturing out from lavender it is as well to know your essential oils. The professional aromatherapist with their box of 48 commonly used essential oils and further 48 professionally used oils has plenty of choice.

Influenza


Influenza is a viral respiratory infection that causes an acute febrile illness with myalgia, headache and cough, and can result in high morbidity and mortality rates during an epidemic. Annual epidemics are thought to result in between three and five million cases of severe influenza and between 250,000 and 500,000 deaths worldwide. 

There are occasional pandemics.  The deadly 1918 influenza pandemic infected 500 million people and killed 50-100 million, 3-5% of the population. [2]

Development of strategies for mitigating the severity of a new influenza pandemic is a top global public health priority. Treatment of clinical cases can reduce transmission, but only if antivirals are given within a day of symptoms starting. Given enough drugs for 50% of the population, household-based prophylaxis coupled with reactive school closure could reduce clinical attack rates by 40–50%. [1]

Anti viral drugs and vaccines show mixed results but are the first line of defence.  Once a new strain of influenza is identified it takes a few months for a vaccine to be developed and distributed however once available infection rates are considerably reduced.  

Aromatherapy.  Essential oils are used in personal care for their useful properties including antiseptic first aid for skin injuries and respiratory conditions. Wiping surfaces with diluted essential oils and diffusing essential oils in a room is useful.  Essential oils properties include both anti viral effects and immune stimulation.  Methods of use include diffusion and steam inhalation into the lungs.  Essential oils have the important feature that unlike drugs immunity to them is not acquired by viruses and bacteria. One studied antiseptic oil blend includes clove bud, cinnamon, pine, thyme, peppermint, lavender, rosemary.  There are also the oils of eucalyptus and tea tree,

Chinese medicinal herbs are a therapy of choice.

Aromapedia

The idea of aromapedia is nothing new.  There are excellent A-Z guides available.  I particularly recommend that by Patricia Davis and Julia Lawless. There is also the useful Wikipedia entry on Essential oils.
 Aromapedia by Ian Brealey is a follow on booklet to the Everyday Aromatherapy students booklet. It deals with the most commonly used information of value to students and new practitionersAn essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. It is essential in that it is something of importance.  Essential oils find many applications however a particularly useful one is for maintaining health and wellbeing, this is the subject matter of aromatherapy.
The moment we use the word wellbeing we move beyond the medical world of helping people to stay alive or die with dignity to self help and professional help for everyday living well. This is a vast area drawing on all human experience from commerce, combat, spirituality  to making a home or maintaining a community.
Aromatherapy does involve using the senses but appreciation of essential oils for their relaxing or stimulating fragrance is strictly the world of perfumery. When we use the grand fragrances Jasmine, Rose and Neroli and combine them with geranium and ylang adding a drop of Benzoin, Frankincense or Vetiver we are drawing heavily and usefully on this world of accords being top, middle and basenotes. Pure aromatherapy involves study and application of chemical communication between the aromatic compounds found in essential oils and the body.  
Aromatherapy has its art but this is also high science.  In fact essential oils attract the attention of researchers worldwide not only for their particular pharmacological effects but also for health and beauty.  This has found particular application in rejuvenation where the energy of the aromatherapist and essential oils interacts with the energy of the individual.  Chemistry indeed.
 Restoring the appetite of an elderly individual for food and life may not seem the stuff of Nobel Prizes but such rejuvenation is valuable all the same and has obvious application in the wellbeing of our own families. Poor appetite and nutrition lowers the bodies defences making the body suceptible to infection and cancer.
Essential oils have also been used since they were first obtained for flavouring, and preservation and first aid for cuts and bruising.

The "British" school of Aromatherapy - then and now

What is sometimes described as the British school of aromatherapy utilises elements of swedish massage and reflexology.

In fact Madam Maury was an Austrian who opened rejuvenation clinics in England, Paris and Switzerland.

Her research work to demonstrated the effects of essential oils on the nervous system, their influence on the well being of people.http://www.oilsandplants.com/maury.htm

 The British school of Aromatherapy is live and well and the research effort continues into the use and applications of essential oils for health and beauty. A number of schools and their alumni are active and combine their efforts in the form of organisations principally IFPA, FHT, IFA.

Each year these UK organisations hold annual general meetings and training conferences

What is Essential oil?

Essential oils bring to life home cooking and bodycare bringing natural vitality and utility into urban life in the home, office or factory in flavour and fragrance and most famously in perfume and aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy is dedicated to the use of essential oils for beauty and health in the home and professional spa and salon.

Essential n. something of importance

What is an Essential Oil?

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the leaves, flowers, fruit, seeds, bark, heartwood, roots of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. In the garden, in teas you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, and flavour to our food and drink essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease.

The most easily understood and some of the most useful essential oils come from the rind of citrus plants - lemon, orange, mandarin, grapefruit, bergamot, tangerine.  Essential oils are fat soluble phytochemicals made up of volatile organic compounds. A true fresh season organically grown essential oil has a creamy texture which nature lovers describe as energy, an echo of the echo of the vitality of the living plant, known as viriditas. Most essential oils are clear to yellow in colour, some have components which give them a blue colour.
In addition to their utility to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have been used throughout history in many cultures for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Modern scientific study and trends towards more holistic approaches to wellness are driving a revival and new discovery of essential oil health applications.
