Medicinal Uses & Actions

From time immemorial this special, precious oil has been treasured as a
“spiritual oil” for lifting the soul out of depression, centering awareness,
stabilizing the emotions, as well as energizing the mind. This native

aromatic oil with a complex fragrance for healing healthcare.
Rosewood’s properties are manifold: mildly analgesic, antidepressant, antimicrobial,

steadying effect on the nerves supports the late night student, the long-distance driver,
and the low libido spouse for its aphrodisiac effect on both the mind and emotions.

 Frankincense (Boswellia carteri)
Meaning “real incense” from Medieval French, Frankincense is best
known as one of the three priceless gifts of the Wise Men in the
Christmas story. Its sweet balsamic aroma made it suitable for temple
and altar liturgies as a sacred fumigant and ritual incense in the Middle
East. Its action on the nervous system reduced anxiety and nervous
tension by slowing down and deepening respiration, thereby making it
suitable for spiritual use in prayer and meditation.
Traditionally, Frankincense is best known for its benefits to the skin and respiratory
system.
Its actions include antiseptic, astringent, analgesic, anticatarrhal, antiinflammatory, rejuvenating, and toning. Historically, it was often used for respiratory
infections and coughs, colds and fevers, and skin conditions such as scars, wrinkles,
stretch marks, wounds, eczema, pimples and boils.

marks. [Julia Lawless, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils (Rockport, MA: Element

 Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annum)
Blue Tansy oil's high azulene content gives it a vivid, deep blue color.
It's delightful scent is warmly herbaceous with a complex sweetness
that to me is reminiscent of apples with a hint of spice. Everyone loves
the friendly and inviting scent of Blue Tansy!
Distilled from leaves and flowers into a deep blue liquid with a sweet,
apple-like herbal fragrance, Blue Tansy’s aromatic influence is known to encourage an
uplifting feeling of well-being and a positive attitude toward life. Its therapeutic actions
include analgesic, antibacterial, anti-inflamatory, antispasmodic, nervine, antihistamine,
hypotensive, anthelmintic or vermifuge (“vermin expelling”), and hormone-like effect.
Historically it has been appreciated as a gypsy “cure all” for colds, fever, miscarriage,
dyspepsia, cramping pain, scabies, bruises, sprains, nervous disorders, itching, and
worms. With its natural antihistamine and anti-allergic properties, research shows Blue
Tansy essential oil to be especially effective for allergy relief!
Some have found it useful in blends for asthma and emphysema due to its bronchio-dilating
effect. The strong analgesic quality enables Blue Tansy oil to act as a regulator as it has a
relaxing or invigorating effect depending on the circumstance for which you are using it. Its
rapid and powerful anti-inflammatory action immediately calms the nervous system and
associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. Blue Tansy has been used to relieve muscular
aches and pains, sprains and strains, arthritis, rheumatism and sciatica. Blue Tansy soothes
nervous tension and relieves stress.
