[Dept of PMM Artists & things]

In the Home:

 

Burner blend:

3 drops pure rosemary essential oil

2 drops pure coriander essential oil

4 drops pure lemon essential oil

 

Or

 

3 drops pure rosemary essential oil

3 drops pure basil essential oil

3 drops pure orange essential oil

 

Fill the small bowl of a burner with water

Add the oils, light a night light to heat

the oil. Alternatively put the drops on

a handkerchief and inhale at intervals.

 

On the dinner table:

30cm florists green oasis wreath frame

3 tall beeswax candles

30=40 short stems of bay leaves

30-40 short stems of rosemary

7 heads of garlic

7 fine gauge florists wires

10 drops pure rosemary essential oil

 

Soak the oasis frame in cold water until the

air bubbles stop rising to the surface, Position

the candles (cut the bottom of the candle into

a V-shape that way the oasis will be more firm

around the candle). Insert the bay leaves

to create your basic shape, then add the

rosemary. Cover all sides of the oasis.

Wire the garlic heads by pushing each wire

through a bulb just below the top until

it reaches the other side. Pull the two pieces

of wire down and twist them together to form

a rigid stem, and push this into the oasis.

Sprinkle the rosemary oil all over the decoration

just before your guests arrive.

 

Rosemary and health.

 

Head Lice:

 

25 drops pure rosemary essential oil

15 drops pure lavender essential oil

15 drops pure tea tree essential oil

100 ml grapeseed or sweet almond oil

Put the oils into a dark glass bottle, add

the grapeseed or sweet almond oil and shake

well. Apply to wet hair (otherwise it will be

difficult to shampoo the oil out) by

massaging well into the scalp to reach the

hair roots. Pay particular attention to the

areas around the ears and nape of the

neck, where lice breed.

Leave on for at least an hour. Shampoo

out thoroughly.

 

Although essential oils kill adult lice, they

do not destroy any eggs layed by the

females. Following the treatment remove

the eggs and dead lice with a regulation fine-

toothed comb. Repeat the treatment twice

more at a 3 day interval until you are sure

that their is no infestation.
