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.

The three varieties of lavender are: Lavender Vera, the most popular; Lavender Spica; and Lavender stoechas. Each contains different chemical properties and have specific healing abilities. I will name a few.

Lavender Vera is most well known as an all purpose essential oil. The very fragrant scent is due to 50% esters and 41% monoterpene alcohols. Small amount of ketones support the urogenital organ functions. Esters and monoterpene alcohols are especially healing and beautifying for the skin. They also relax muscles and reduce tension, making lavender a great pain reliever and sleep enhancer.

Large amounts of ketones in Spike lavender fights viral and fungal infections. Spike lavender also relaxes the heart muscles to help anxious and hypertensive people. It also has ketones to increase tissue regeneration and heal wounds.

Lavender stoechas has a predominance of ketones that reduce mucus, earaches, whooping cough, burns and regenerates skin.

I successfully grow all three lavenders in North Central Texas. They require very good drainage and lots of sunlight.

On an emotional level, lavender opens the heart and clears the mind. They are prevalent in blends that enhance intimacy, social and emotional balance.

Keep lavender refrigerated or in a very dark, cool place in tightly sealed bottles. The high amounts of monoterpenes cause oxidation and turns the aroma stale and less fragrant.

Note: Monoterpene alcohols have a light, floral aroma. They are antiseptic, antiviral and increase immunoglobulins. They can reduce intestinal inflammation; are sedative and tonic. Monoterpenes in essential oils are mild and usually non offensive.  A patch test before application can assure safety.
