UGG - ugg boots on aler

|2009-11-20 05:58:38

My uggs boots on sale arrived today, I'm very pleased with them. So silky smooth and soft I can't believe it.
I researched the whole Cheap uggs boots on sale thing last year but decided not to order because I really
couldn't afford a pair. This year I read about Whooga's in a fashion forum and decided to give them a try. I
ordered a size too small initially and had to return them for a 6 which was a bit annoying but eventually
worth the wait, I'm a 5.5 in most shoes but boots sometimes vary between 5.5 and 6. I probably should have
measured my foot, anyway I'm very pleased

Our family recently enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Woodgate beach. As it was the first time for my for my
eight month old daughter, Scarlett, I worried about sand flys. My worry stems from the fact that I seem to
attract them and react badly so am afraid she might be the same. When I visited the chemist to ask advise I
was informed that there was nothing on the market that she could use but if I mixed a little lavender oil in
with her moisturiser that would deter them. I used the advice successfully but now wish to confirm whether or
not use of lavender oil is advised in children so young before I continue its use.

Lavender oil is obtained by distillation from the blue lavender flower heads it is a mild solvent similar in
action to glycerine when applied to the skin it dissolves lactic acid and skin urea salt which mosquitoes
always are attracted to the sent of body odour containing these substances ie lactic acid and urea salts and
urine and menstrual fluids; if you are going to a mosquitoe area, example river valleys ,marsh lands, in
hot countries take malaria tablets from your gp doctor, and always wash in mild carbolic soap and apply
lavender oil/water all over your body and hair twice a day use a bottle spray is best make the solution your
self;
buy lavender flowers from a garden centre, they can order it for you, from lavender flower
grower/supplier

then put the cut up lavender flower heads in 2 pints of warmed glycerine solution, which
you can buy from the chemist shop even if you have to buy several small bottles, believe me it

I bought a very small bottle of lavendar oil for the first time (know nothing about it) for the purpose of
repelling clothes moths. The bottle comes with a strict warning not to use directly from the bottle. I have
been researching and cannot find any article that explains what I can dilute it with and in what
concentration. Anybody? Thanks.

sum1	\|2009-09-25 01:15:03

You're supposed to dilute essential oils with carrier oils before using them on the skin because they can
cause serious allergic reactions for some people. Some examples of carrier oils are coconut and olive oil
however, lavender oil is one of the few essential oils that are supposed to be safe to use undiluted. The
warning is probably there just in case but if you're worried you can just mix a few drops with a carrier oil
and it should be fine. Also, if you're not using it on your skin then there shouldn't be any need to dilute
it.

barb - migraines

|2009-08-26 20:59:10

hi - I too used to suffer from chronic migraines for more than 25 years, I think lavender can help to relax
tension, but mky migraines were finally cured by a series of visits to a cranial osteopath. As a result I have
had no migraines for 6 months after suffering on a weekly basis for many years.

Good luck with your search
for a remedy - I hope you find something that works for you.

I'm not sure if you've investigated, but 80% of migraine headaches are bite related. Especially, if the
headaches begin in the temples and/or back of the neck. There is a reason that only women get migraines.
Have you ever known a man to complain of migraines? I haven't. So many pain management doctors don't realize
this. "When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Things to look for? In
addition to the area of the head affected, other signs are gum pocketing, gum recession, wear on your teeth
(espeically the front teeth). Look for a bite specialist (usually a dentist) and inlcude their opinion in
your decision on how to treat. Good luck.

When you make an absolute stament such as "only women get migraines",it's hard to take you seriously.
I'm a 52yo male who "knows" he suffers from migraines. 90% are in the AM but the others are mid-day.
They start at the base of my skull then progress to the front. Imitrex is my current treatment but I am
excited about trying essential oils. Jason,I'm sure you have great things to add,just don't "trip"
yourself before you get started.

Migraines are a vascular condition. You get them because the veins in your neck and head are swollen and they
push upon your nerves. Lavender oil is helpful, as is peppermint oil. Migraines are usually hereditary. My
brother has them and so does my mother. Currently my doctor has me on beta blockers which prevents the
headaches. It is daily but it's the only thing that has worked, and I've tried them all.

Debra - Migranes

|2009-11-20 00:58:44

With all due respect, I must differ with your statement that only women get migranes. My son is 32 years old
and has been dealing with migranes since he was about 10 years old. We have had cat scans ran and nothing
shows up. I pray each night that we will find something to rid him of this excrutiating pain. You never know
when he will get one. Sometimes he can go several weeks without having one. Other times, he may get one every
week. They are so bad that he vomitts, his right arm and hand go numb and sometimes his speach is even messed
up. I would appreciate any and all advice from anyone. Thank you.

Heather Stone - migraines

|2009-08-26 21:21:03

try a mixture of Lavender, Basil and Peppermint. Basil alone is great for migranes.

I have had migraines my whole life ( I am now 48), and I usually wake up with them in the morning. I read
about essential oils a few weeks ago, and have found that a few drops of lavender on my pillow and a 50-50
mixture of lavender and chamomile in a lamp allows me to wake up pain-free 90% of the time. This is the best
results I have found, and I have spent a lot of time and money on different approaches to control the
headaches.

Jason

|2009-09-28 09:31:40

Very rare to see men with true migraines. True migraines begin down the centerline of the scalp and, as I
understand it, are caused by the swelling of the dura beneath the scalp which presses against the skull. If
your headaches are in the temples or back of the neck, these are classic bite headache symptoms. The reason
they're worse in the morning is that everyone clenches during REM sleep. I think if you can find a dentist to
do a bite "equilibration", especially using a device called a Tekscan, I'll bet your headaches will
finally be gone. Do your due diligence, the internet is great for that.

Kareth - Migraine

|2009-09-01 17:17:35

Yes, lavender is great for headaches. So are rosemary & peppermint.
The latter 2 have to be diluted with a
carrier oil such as almond, grapeseed, olive, jojoba or hazelnut.
Migraines are caused from a lack of vitamin
B2. A lady suffered from migrains at least twice a month until she started taking B2 supplements. Now she
doesn't have them at all. I would take B-Complex if I were you and each more organic leafy green
vegetables.
Good luck!

I suffer from migraines too, sinus-related. I use a mixture on a diffuser of pine(2 drops), peppermint(2) and
eucalyptus(4). I find this works amazingly well if I put it in my bathroom and take a hot shower. Again, mine
are sinus related and this is a decongesting mixture.

Brady - ringworm in cats

|2009-08-14 04:44:23

I am fostering kittens for the SPCA and they developed ringworm. My boss sells YL essential oils and made me a
mixture of lavender oils and lemongrass to use on the cats and kittens. Is this safe? I've read conflicting
information on this over the internet. My vet is unfamiliar with essential oils so she is no help. I have
the oils and want the ringworm to go away ASAP but I don't want to kill the cats. Any personal experience,
positive or negative?

Can you tell me why should diabetics "stay away from Lavender oil"? The same phrase has been repeated
in all the sites covering the benefits of the Lavender oil.

My mom whose diabetic is a lavender fan and I got
her a beautiful bottle of Lavender oil essence from Provence-France and now I read that it is not good for
her. Could you please elaborate why? Thanks

|2009-03-25 04:11:07

Since ingesting the oil is not recommended, will adding a drop of lavender oil to 1 liter of drinking water be
good?

Liana - Acne

|2009-03-01 09:29:52

I always had pimples on my face. Not huge ones but red, inflamed looking ones. So far nothing has helped. So I
tried this: I drink lavender tea every night. Then I put the left over wet lavender, that I used for the tea,
on my forehead in a paper towel. For about 20 minutes. (If I use it longer then that I get a headache. I
assume everybody is different so you have to experience it yourself)
I'm amazed with the results!!!
Calms my
pimples down, even if they are up and armed. :)
