Using Essences and Oils in Haircare

Essences and oils penetrate into the hair shaft and support sebaceous gland function. The result is healthy, luxurious hair and new growth.

We are born with the amount of hair follicles throughout life. Our products can strengthen hair follicles and nourish and balance the scalp integrity.

Only small amounts are needed to produce good results within weeks. We do not use sulphates, mineral oil or fillers. Best results originate from massaging them on the scalp, allowing the products to affect new growth first. Then continue massaging, spraying or cleansing to the ends of the hair. Too much of any essential oil can damage hair. Our aromaHealth essence blends and Petite Fleur Essences are very concentrated but safer for hair and skincare.

Test a small patch of scalp area an hour before to check for a reaction. Redness or itchiness are symptoms. Any product can cause a reaction and should be tested first.

We can special blend our products and replace any oil or essence that may be offensive. Contact by email or phone for special requests, preferably before you order. For example, lavender and a few other essential oils are estrogenic and may be replaced in a blend for those on estrogen blockers. Another client is allergic to Lemongrass essential oil, which we replace in any product she desires.

Hair products are like food. What helps one person may not be helpful to another. An example might be nut oil, an allergic item for some and delight for others.

Tradition offers insight for which oils support hair growth, thickness, manageability and possibly reduce alopecia. Very few studies have been conducted by anyone to "prove" hair products using double blind studies monitored over weeks or months by an independent lab. And most personal products, including hair care are chemical fragrances or synthetic essential oils.

Mother Nature's Herbal book includes hair care used by many ancient and Medieval cultures. Word of mouth prevails over the centuries! An autographed book is available online or by phone, as well as special requests for your hair products or questions.

How Indigenous People used Scent

Medicinal and personal use of scent were valuable and well known to most indigenous cultures. Besides religious ceremony, inhalants and hygiene, aromas were used to treat mental, emotional and many physical diseases. Some cultures also enjoyed perfumed cosmetics and used fragrance in domestic practices. Fumigation was used for broad spectrum cleansing and protection, insect repellents and good fortune. They believed Nature Spirits responded well to aromatics.

Native Americans used aromatics 5-6000 years ago. Some of these practices are described in Mother Nature's Herbal, for headaches, sinus, grief and mental imbalances. Aromatic poultices were applied to wounds. Hygiene was achieved by burning aromatic woods which did not alarm prey. They chewed aromatic native herbs and roots, like ginger, to clean their teeth. Sages were especially favored for dental hygiene.

American Natives did not distill like we do today to produce aromatherapy. They soaked fragrant plants in animal grease, with fresh flowers and roots every day to produce a fragrant balm, or inhaled the smoke of a fragrant tea or burning plant. Any member of a tribe could benefit aromatherapy. Other," more advanced cultures", used aromas only for royals and aristocratic members.

Basic stills were discovered at least 5000 years old in Crete used to produce aromatherapy. Ancient African, Egyptian and later, Greek cultures produced and traded aromatic oils for religious, and later, personal use. More detailed information is available in Antique Rose Collection e-book, both books are available on our website.

East Indian Ayurveda medicine especially utilized aromas of sandalwood and many spices in medicine and cooking. I studied with a Brahman priest, who is like their doctor, learning how they also use foods for psychological and physical well-being. Aromas are a way of a healthy life, which we can emulate.

Flowers like  Butterfly Lily clean the air in our environment, as well as protect us from pollutants in the environment. NASA approves using the plant for cleaning the air. An aroma like this will also support better breathing and cognitive well-being.

The aromas pleasing to you will support the unique scent you have carried since being in the womb. They will help your thoughts and feelings stay positive and productive. Aromas will also increase vitality and physical wellness. You will attract like-minded people and achieve your highest goals.

If your sense of smell has diminished, inhale basil or rosemary daily. The intensity of smell often returns within weeks or a few months.

Utilize the inherent brilliance of past cultures and allow natural scents guide your path to success.
