Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Cinnamon Bark is contraindicated for pregnancy and breastfeeding because when it was fed to pregnant mice for two weeks it significantly reduced the number of nuclei and altered the distribution of embryos according to nucleus number (Tisserand/Young p. 249). There is a minute amount of Cinnamon Bark in this blend (0.6%) and is not considered a risk at that level when used topically diluted appropriately.

1. This blend is incredibly special. I want to order this for all my friends' birthdays! They will love me for it :-).

2. I make my husband's aftershave out of Aloe Vera and add a few drops of Flower Garden as a scent. He loves it!

3. I had a strange, but good, experience with the Flower Garden blend. I woke up with a monster headache today. I drank coffee, took Exedrin for migraines and nothing helped. Then I finally realized duh, I probably have the cure in my EO stash. So I took the Flower Garden blend and massage it into my temples and on my forehead. Within five minutes, my arms and head got all goose bumpy for a few minutes and it literally felt like the headache was leaving my body. And then it was poof! Gone! I really felt like it just evaporated in the literal sense. Hooray for Flower Garden! I feel so much better. - Ami

4. For the past 2 days I've been really itchy for some unknown reason, especially on my shins and feet. Benadryl was not helping, so in desperation I went to my supply of EOs and picked "Flower Garden" and slathered it on my legs and feet. Sure enough, the itching is 90% gone about 30 minutes later. I'm not sure how much is due to the carrier oil vs. the EOs themselves, but I'll take it either way! - Ami

5. One night when I had an obnoxious headache (not a migraine, a regular headache), I reached for Headache Relief, rubbed it into my temples and all over my forehead like I normally do. As I sat there the next few minutes, the headache started dissolving away ... but at the same time, I kept thinking to myself: "This doesn't smell like Headache Relief".... so I looked at the bottle and I had put Flower Garden on my head! But it worked ... so I went with it! - Ami

6. Flower Garden is my favoite blend. It works on skin issues, and I love it for perfume. - Gail

Safety
Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.

*Absolutes are solvent extracted products. They are produced by a multi-step process which involves first extracting the flower (or other biomass) with a non-polar solvent such as hexane. After the hexane is evaporated, a waxy product is obtained called the concrete. The concrete is then extracted using a polar solvent such as ethanol. The polarity of ethanol allows extraction of the volatile aromatics from the concrete while leaving behind the non-polar plant waxes which don't dissolve well in ethanol. Finally, the ethanol is evaporated to leave behind the absolute, which will typically have 1-5% ethanol remaining in it and sometimes a trace of hexane, depending on the method used. Robert Tisserand, author of Essential Oil Safety, writes: The solvent normally used is hexane, and residues in absolutes are in the region of 1-20 ppm (parts per million). These are tiny amounts and should not be cause for concern in regard to safety" (Complete Skin Care Series).
