I’ve received some new cinammon leaf essential oil in. I just love to bottle it, it almost sparkles.
This month, every one who orders will receive a sample.
It’s a perfect oil for fall blends, it blends especially well with ylang ylang and/or anise. Our very popular (and one of my favourites) Wild Heart blend is a combination of these with a few additions. I got the inspiration for it a few years ago on New Years Eve after watching Moulin Rouge with Nicole Kidman (guess I don’t get out much!)
Just remember, that it can be irritating on skin,. it’s used mostly to scent things as in potpourri or a room spray.
You can see these as well as our selection of essential oils at

I haven’t examined this issue thoroughly but there has been a lot of noise lately about the FDA and new regulations that will effect our “permission” to use essential oils therapeutically. I so far am under the impression that if the FDA regulates essential oils as medicine as they are pushing for, in those applications, it will be treated as such – dispensed only by dr’s, pharmacists etc.
The attempt has also been made to do this with herbs.
IMHO anything that has a large potential for profit is being systematically controlled by gov’t right down to the small farms and our rights to grow our own food (just a few weeks ago the municipality put into motion a movement to take 8 chickens away from a girl because she lived on under 5 acres in the country. Due to public outcry and publicity, they let her keep them and are changing the bylaw – that disallows “farms” on under 5 acres – the kicker was that it also disallows gardens on under 5 acres – say what???)
The link to thearomaconnection blog (excerpt below) has got tons of information and links, on this issue as well as aromatherapy education as well.
“The Health Freedom movement is trying to get the word out to as many people as they can. Unfortunately a lot of people haven’t understood the subtleties of how this is being put forward by the FDA. As Rima E. Laibow, MD and others point out, what the FDA is attempting to do is shift the definition of CAM from being therapy or a treatment modality to being Medicine. This is covered in detail in the legal brief they’ve posted here, but which is hard to read at that location. Since I haven’t found it online in a readable location, I will post it below the fold in a new post here. I suggest that you read it, and sign and send it at their message sender here. But then go to the FDA Docket site here, and make your own comments in your own words.”
If you enjoy the freedom to use essential oils, it might be worth taking the time to read – and act now, there isn’t a lot of time left.
