Rose is and always has been my very favorite essential oil.  I am so excited about this new one because it smells as close to a rose as any oil I have ever smelled. It is amazing and is much more affordable. In fact, it is the first Rose oil to be sold by Butterfly Express in a 10ml.

AL Tincture

Allergies, like acne, begin in the liver and the colon, and this is where the fight against them must be waged. There was a time in my life when I was allergic to many, many things. Today I am almost completely allergy free. I have to really overeat a food or two to even remember that I ever had allergies. The AL tincture should be taken—dosage being a dropperful three times a day—beginning at least a couple of months before the anticipated allergy season. It is also very helpful to take Bee Pollen capsules at the same time. During the height of my own allergies, I started the tincture and the Bee Pollen in February to prepare for spring and summer. Eventually, the remedies, internal cleansing programs, and energy work freed me from allergy-related suffering.

Homeopathic or energetic remedies such as Allergies #1 (sold at Butterfly Express LLC), Allium cepa and Apis melifica, or whatever deep-level homeopathic you test for or research out for your specific symptoms, can help a lot in eliminating the allergy altogether. Lots of vitamin C can be helpful during an acute allergy attack.

No herbal remedy will really work well, long or short-term if you are still eating a predominantly acidic or unhealthy diet!

The three blends and three singles that were chosen for March are particularly helpful when dealing with allergies, and energy protection.

^LeInner Peace can aid us in staying focused and clear, particularly about the direction of our lives. It promotes harmony between ourselves and others, and between ourselves and God. This blend helps us feel genuine compassion for others and aids us in forming rewarding relationships.

Much like ^LeBenediction, ^LeInner Peace protects the energies of our bodies and minds from attack and depletion by the energies of others. Though protected energetically, ^LeInner Peace leaves us open, compassionate, and willing to be of service if we desire. It can also be helpful if we fear or hate being alone.

^LeInner Peace can help us with acceptance of ourselves and others and with the calm acceptance of the changes that life brings to us all. For emotional work, use with ^LeSanctuary and ^LeMagi.

^LeInner Peace can enhance whatever state you are in. If you want to feel more gratitude or contentment, you must already be feeling some of those emotions—or at the very least, desiring with all your heart to feel them. You should use this blend with caution when angry or when caught up in negative emotions as this essential oil blend can act as an amplifier to those emotions. It may amplify negative emotions as well as positive ones. It is sometimes necessary to diffuse ^LeSanctuary or another of your favorite uplifting emotional blends for a little while before using ^LeInner Peace. This is one of my favorite blends for really deep emotional or spiritual work that includes introspection, journaling, and prayer!

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.

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 Roman is particularly beneficial for alleviating neuritis, cystitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and earache.

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. It is an antihistamine and soothing to inflamed tissues.

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.

Allergies Blessed Waters

An allergy is an inappropriate response by the body to any substance that is not harmful to most people. The immune system, which is supposed to protect us from toxins and pathogens, wrongly identifies a substance as harmful to us and goes into action. The response can be anywhere from mildly annoying to symptoms severe enough to create an anaphylactic shock. These types of allergies grow worse with each reaction; they are NOT something that a person typically grows out of.

Allergies #1 (7X)

This is a great remedy to use for shellfish allergies or when you are not sure of the cause of your allergy.

GRINDELIA ROBUSTA (rosin-wood) The symptoms here are a full range of allergic responses such as lung disorders, respiratory distress, asthma, rashes, and itching eyes.
URTICA URENS (stinging nettle) This polycrest remedy has a wide range of severe allergic reactions in its symptom picture and is especially suited for use with bee stings and for the ill effects of eating shellfish. Unusual and noteworthy symptoms include chronic gout, joint pain, hives, itchy blisters on fingers and hands, and burning pain in the throat.
HYDROPHYLLUM VIRGINICUM (Virginia waterleaf) Hydrophyllum’s range of action includes symptoms relating to the eyes. Among them will be swollen eyelids, eye inflammation, itching, and sensitivity to light.

Allergies #2 (6X)

This remedy is for neuralgic headaches, bites, stings, and coughs.

GUACO (climbing hempweed) Guaco grows in tropical areas and has a local reputation for relief from the bites of scorpions and snakes. This remedy acts predominantly on the nervous system. Outstanding symptoms are pain along the spine and constriction and feeling of paralysis in the throat.
CADMIUM METALLICUM (cadmium metal) Cadmium markedly affects the eyes with light sensitivity, burning, and inflammation occurring. There may be extreme neuralgic headaches, difficult respiration with coughs that are mucus-filled—sometimes blood-streaked—with bronchial and pulmonary distress. Chronic dermatitis is often seen.
EUPHORBIUM OFFICINARUM (gum euphorbium) The symptom picture includes hay fever, headache, inflammation of the eyelids with itching, constant dry cough with a hollow sound, dryness of the mouth with a white-coated tongue, and ringing in the ears—especially when sneezing and at night.

Allergies #3 (9X)

Allergic reactions that mimic the common cold and affect the kidneys or heart.

APIS MELLIFICA (honey bee) Allergy symptoms of Apis include burning, itching, and inflammation of serous membranes, excessive swelling with edema, kidney distress, and heart troubles. Apis can be useful for both mild situations and serious allergic shock reactions.
ALLIUM CEPA (red onion) Allium covers more symptoms of common colds and hay fever than any other remedy. The eyes feel as though you are cutting up raw onions at the moment. There will be increased secretions from mucus membranes, hacking cough, dripping nose, sneezing, fever with thirst, hoarseness, and a sensation of a lump in the throat.

Allergies #4 (6X)

Specifically for allergies to animal hair but often useful for other allergies when the symptom picture fits the allergies the person is experiencing.

GRINDELIA ROBUSTA (rosin-wood) The symptoms here are a full range of allergic responses such as lung disorders, respiratory distress, asthma, rashes, and itching eyes.
PINUS SYLVESTRIS (Scotch pine) The picture of Pinus is predominantly lung symptoms similar to what is experienced with bronchitis. A lot of mucus but the accompanying cough is short and dry. There are feelings of tightness in the chest with impaired ability to breathe.
VERATRUM ALBUM (white hellebore) Veratrum symptoms always include profound prostration, and near total collapse with extreme coldness and weakness. There may be spasmodic contractions of the muscles of the chest. With veratrum type symptoms everything comes on suddenly.

PSORINUM (scabies nosode) Psorinum is specific for allergies and hay fever which are a family inheritance related to the Psora miasm. Offensive, foul-smelling discharges of all sorts. Hot sensation in chest with a great deal of pain. The keynote Psora pattern of remedies working well for a time but then failing to produce effective results with the need to find another remedy and then another in order to keep healing progressing will be present.

Allergies #5 (8X)

Particularly for reactions to mold, yeast, or dust.

SILICA TERRA (pure flint) Bruised pain in chest when coughing or breathing deeply. Itchy eruptions, mostly on the chest area and chronic skin rashes appearing at any time. Asthma-like symptoms as a result of allergies, usually worse in the early fall. Violent cough, especially when lying down. Chronic catarrh and coryza in the nose and sinuses.
PHOSPHORUS (the element) Phosphorus ailments can be insidious—gradually increasing in their effect on the entire system. The allergic reactions of Phosphorus consist of irritation, inflammation, and degeneration of the mucus membranes. There may be a feeling of a great weight on the chest, with difficulty breathing and feelings of heat throughout the body. There is frequent itching and burning of the eyes with sensitivity to wind.

Allergies #6 (6X)

For allergic reactions to and liver toxicity caused by chemical inhalants.

WYETHIA HELENOIDES (poison weed) With Wyethia, there are reactions which target the throat but have a history of dropping quickly into the chest. There is swelling of the glands in the right side of the neck with a characteristic itching of the upper palate.
NAPHTHALINUM (tar camphor) Naphthalinum is said to reduce the suffering from the inflamed, bloodshot eyes of the hay fever season. Other symptoms include attacks of sneezing, skin rashes, eczema and psoriasis.
HISTAMINUM MURIATICUM (histamine) Symptoms of Histaminum include allergic reactions with asthma-like symptoms including bronchial irritation and dryness of the mucus membranes of nose and throat. Other symptoms include edema, hives, itching, and redness of the eyelids.
NATRUM MURIATICUM (sodium chloride) Natrum displays the usual symptoms of hay fever and allergies with the additional discomfort of blinding headaches, fluttering and palpitations of the heart with constriction of the chest and high blood pressure.

There will be high tension of the coronary arteries with intermittent pulse. As the reaction worsens, the person will experience icy coldness with sweat, fainting and nausea. Complete prostration of the entire muscular system and severe mental confusion is a possibility if things are allowed to get worse without intervention.
ARSENICUM ALBUM Arsenicum is the first remedy to reach for in any acute ailment whether it is a cold, hay fever, influenza or food poisoning. Shortness of breath is a keynote symptom with extreme restlessness, or anxiety and restlessness, presenting alternately.

Allergies #7 (6X)

Predominantly for tree pollen allergies.

CARDUUS MARIANUS (St. Mary’s thistle) The major focus of this remedy is for liver dysfunction which, of course, often plays a role in allergic reactions. Other keynote symptoms are pressure in eyelids and eyeballs, pressing pain in the throat on speaking or swallowing. Swallowing is usually very painful with a painful burning sensation.
EQUISETUM HYEMALE (horsetail) Horsetail, herbally, is a remedy for kidney issues and the same is true for the homeopathic form of this wonderful herb. When the kidneys are eliminating properly and maintaining proper water levels in the body, allergic reactions are less likely and less severe if they do occur. Sharp pain in the outer angle of the eye—more often in the right one. There may also be a sharp sticking pain in the throat.
IRIS VERSICOLOR (blue flag) Symptoms include burning of the mouth, tongue and throat, redness and inflammation of the eyelids with burning in the inner canthuses, and vision disturbances with headache.
RANUNCULUS SCELERATUS (marsh buttercup) The focus of Ranunculus for allergies is pain in chest/lung area that is worse for deep breathing and a raw and burning tongue with pain in the throat.
ZINCUM PHOSPHORICUM (zinc phosphide) With Zincum allergies there will be foggy vision. Zincum is also a tonic for the kidneys and useful for lung issues and asthma-type symptoms.

Allergies #8 (6X)

Hayfever with headache and glandular swelling or sweating

EUPHRASIA OFFICINALIS (eyebright) Allergic reactions with a specific action on the eyes are typical. There will be eye irritation with discharge and copious watering. There may also be glandular swellings and very offensive sweat as the body attempts to detoxify from the poisons that have been inhaled.
PSEUDO-NARCISSUS (daffodil) The Pseudo-narcissus picture includes allergy symptoms such as watery eyes, frontal headache, increased pulse, increased flow of saliva, severe coryza of the nose and the opposite symptoms of dryness in the throat rather than an increased flow of saliva.
RANUNCULUS SCELERATUS (marsh buttercup) A keynote of Ranunculus sceleratus is the severe burning and scraping sensations in the throat. There may be fluent coryza with attacks of sneezing accompanied by headaches in which the head feels as if it were too large.
SULPHURICUM ACIDUM (Sulphuric acid) Various types of coryza from the nose with a copious flow that is thin, watery discharge that is a bit lemony is a major symptom here. Alternatively, as so often happens in the symptom pictures of homeopathic remedies, the symptoms may present the opposite pattern of dryness in the nose with loss of the senses of smell and taste. The symptoms that respond to Sulphuric acidum often include itching all over with boils or abscesses on the skin.

Evening Primrose Oil is used topically and as a supplement. This is because it contains many essential fatty acids.  This includes one of the highest concentrations known of GLA or gamma-linolenic acid which is found in very few other plants. These acids are essential for cell structure and the improvement of the elasticity of the skin. They help regulate hormones and improve nerve function. This aids in problems ranging from PMS to migraine headaches. Deficiencies in these fatty acids have been implicated in many disorders.  Those include asthma, migraines, inflammation, metabolic irregularities, diabetes, arthritis, hormone imbalances, and alcoholism.

Evening Primrose Oil has been used for acne, allergies, arteriosclerosis, asthma, cholesterol regulation, chronic headaches, diabetic nerve damage, dermatitis, eczema, hyperactivity in children, high cholesterol, impotence and female infertility, inflammation, lupus, multiple sclerosis, prostate health, psoriasis, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, rosacea, scleroderma, to treat Alzheimer’s-related memory deficiencies, and upset stomach. It nourishes nails, scalp, and hair. Prevents alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Relieves the discomforts of PMS (premenstrual syndrome), menstruation, menopause, endometriosis, and fibrocystic breasts. Minimizes premenstrual breast tenderness, irritable bowel flare-ups, and carbohydrate cravings, and helps to control endometriosis-associated inflammation.
