x FR>but the above ( Mimosa Gardenia Lotus) are unlikely to be essential oils. FR>They would more likely be perfume oils and every perfumer would have a FR>different formulation for each x No, I use straight mimosa EO for a number of things (none of them medicinal); you can get it from Penn Herb. Nowhere near as good- smelling as a mimosa perfume oil would be; in fact, it smells a good deal like Desenex athlete's foot cream. :) Gardenia EO is out there too Is either germicidal/preservative, do you know? (You did say "all".) x As for the Eco quote: yes, most plants are safe to consume in the right quantity. But the safe quantity of an essential oil is frequently too small for a home user as opposed to a factory to figure out a safe dilution. In other words, folks, don't start randomly trying to flavor your food with EOs without reading up on them first. Some of the safest-sounding can put a whuppin' on ya. x Rain, herbalist @@@@ \\\\\ --- þ OLX 2.2 TD þ Start a revolution: stop hating your body.
