Introducing the following new oils:

Gingergrass (cymbopogon martinii var. sofia) from India.  Less known in the West than other grasses like citronella or lemongrass, gingergrass has been used for millenia in Ayurvedic medicine to open up channels of prana, particularly in the sinuses.  Also used in Ayurvedic massage for its anti-inflamatory properties to reduce pain, inflamation, swelling and stiffness in muscles and joints.  It has a wonderfully warm, spicy, earthy scent with an undertone of wood.

Nagarmotha (cyperus rotundus) wild-crafted from India is another staple to Ayurvedic medicine.  Distilled from the root of the nut-grass plant, it is used to balance pitta disturbances.  We also know it has powerful anti-inflamatory properties and can be used for skin disorders such as seborrhea and psoriasis.  As a root oil, it is cosidered a base note with a woody, oriental scent.

Easter White Cedar (thuja occidentalis) See our posting from August 22nd (below).

Manuka Honey -organic manuka honey from New Zealand with UMF +15!  I began using honey as a 'carrier' for essential oils years ago.  I can use it topically or in teas or gargles.  I add a few drops of my essential oil blend to the honey and apply it to my skin or dissolve in my tea!  I'm using it along with essential oils for my son's acne and it is wonderful as a facial mask!  Look under our Carrier oils or click here to go to the page to purchase Manuka Honey!
