CAC

INGREDIENTS: Buckthorn, Burdock, Licorice Root, Poke Root, Red Clover, Senna, Uva Ursi

CAC has a laxative effect on the bowels, and is used for cleansing and purifying the body and the blood. CAC is particularly effective when used as a tea, rather than as a tincture.

Instructions:

Mix 1/2 cup of herbs with 1 quart distilled or filtered water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 45 minutes. Strain. Add the same herbs that you just strained to another quart of fresh water. Bring to a boil and simmer for another 45 minutes. Strain. Mix the two liquids.

Dosage is 4 - 12 ounces once or twice a day. I don’t know why the method is as it is, but those are the instructions I was given and which I have read for similar formulas in other herbal reference materials. This method produces a very potent brew.

CALENDULA OIL (Calendula officinalis)

EXTRACTION METHOD: Calendula flowers infused in Almond Oil

CONSISTENCY: medium weight, very light yellow color

PART UTILIZED: flower

APPLICATION: Calendula Carrier Oil can be used all by itself, 100%.

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: slight flower aroma

GENERAL INFORMATION: Calendula is one of the best vulnerary (good for the healing of wounds) plants ever. Calendula is anti-inflammatory. It is useful for vein health and circulatory issues such as varicose veins, spider veins and bruises. Calendula is one of the best healers for skin rashes, hives, eczema and psoriasis, leg ulcers, and bed sores that are difficult to heal. Using the appropriate essential oil, coupled with the healing properties of Calendula Infused Oil as a carrier, provides a “double whammy” of healing. Some examples would include: ^LeBaby Me for diaper rash or stretch marks; ^LeAgeLess for a facial skin conditioner; ^LeMelaPlus or ^LePurify on insect bites; and ^LeDeeper for the pain of shingles. Calendula would also be good used with Helichrysum on recent injuries to prevent or minimize scarring.

This great invention facilitates the filling of ‘0’ size capsules to 24 capsules at a time.

This quality machine allows the user to fill 24 “0” size capsules at a time with as much powder as will fit in the longer “half.” The empty capsules must first be separated and loaded into the base (long half) and into the cover (short half) of the machine.

• Put the large part of The Capsule Machine (the base) onto the enclosed stand, and then place on a flat bowl or plate.
• Separate capsule. Push longer part, open end up, into base, and shorter part into the cover.
• Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of powdered material into base and sweep enclosed card over holes, filling them. If desired, use enclosed tamping tool to compact powder, and then fill base again.
• Place cover on base, and remove The Capsule Machine from stand. Put The Capsule Machine on flat surface and press down evenly until bottomed out. Release pressure.
• Remove cover. Filled capsules should be in the cover. Depress top cover gently on both sides to eject filled capsules.

CHAMOMILE, ROMAN (Chamaemelum nobile)

THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES: calmative, analgesic, antibiotic, febrifuge, anti-inflammatory, immune stimulant

AFFINITY FOR: reproductive system, nervous system, digestive system, spleen meridian, bladder meridian, yin energy, throat chakra

RESONANCE: physical, emotional

PLANT FAMILY: Compositae

PART UTILIZED: flowers

EXTRACTION METHOD: steam distilled

APPLICATION: Chamomile Roman can be applied to the base of the neck, on the temples, and over the liver. It can be added to shampoo or conditioner to cover gray in lighter hair colors.

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: The aroma of Chamomile Roman, in my opinion, is the most relaxing scent in the entire essential oil world. Chamomile Roman is powerfully soothing. The soothing action of this oil applies to both physical and emotional conditions alike. Diffused, this oil creates an atmosphere of peace and patience.

EMOTIONAL - SPIRITUAL - MENTAL ASPECTS: Chamomile Roman smooths the flow of the chi energy throughout the body. It is this regulation of vital energy that makes Chamomile Roman so powerfully soothing to both physical and emotional conditions. In fact, so powerfully does this oil unravel the negative emotions behind physical ailments, that it is sometimes hard to tell if it is working at an emotional or a physical level. Chamomile Roman is of great benefit in the treatment of chronic headaches, insomnia, nervous indigestion and nausea, and irritable bowel syndrome—to name just a few.

The smoothing out of the vital energy prevents the build-up of energetic heat, which manifests in the body as inflammation. This Chamomile is particularly beneficial for alleviating neuritis, cystitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and earache.

One of the outstanding uses of Chamomile Roman essential oil is for babies with colic, babies who startle awake and then cry for a long time, and infants that are just plain fussy and want to be held and comforted most of the day and night.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS: This variety of Chamomile, though containing less deep blue azulene, has anti-inflammatory properties. It is of benefit when applied to aching muscles and joints. Because it is so mild and soothing, Chamomile Roman is wonderful in the tub or used in a compress. This oil is very soothing for menstrual cramps, nausea, PMS, tension, and nerves.

Chamomile Roman cleanses the blood and reduces allergic reactions. Allergy sufferers can find a great deal of relief by carrying an inhaler or just a few drops of this oil on a tissue or cotton ball. Chamomile Roman is an antihistamine and soothing to inflamed tissues.

GENERAL INFORMATION: The plant from which Chamomile Roman is distilled is very tender and delicate. It must be harvested at precisely the right moment in its growth cycle. To accomplish this, growers concerned with quality do a test distillation every few days as the plant matures. They have the distillation analyzed using gas chromatography. This ensures the therapeutic quality of the essential oil.
