  • FAMILY PHYSICIAN with Essential Oils “I Finally Figured out How to Use Essential Oils—TAKE OFF the CAP”
    FAMILY PHYSICIAN With Essential Oils “I finally figured out how to use essential oils—TAKE OFF THE CAP” You can use all of the oils 3 ways; Topically, Internally (drip into an empty gel cap) and with the diffuser. If the bottle has a ‘supplement’ box on the label, you can feel completely safe using it internally. When diluting* the essential oils, use one drop of Coconut Oil for one or two drops of the essential oil. It is not necessary to dilute the essential oils, but for some essential oils which are particularly cool (Peppermint, Wintergreen) or hot (Oregano, Cinnamon, Clove, Cassia), it may not be comfortable on your skin without diluting, and may be particularly uncomfortable for a child. If you use an oil without diluting and it is uncomfortable to the recipient, simply apply a small amount of coconut oil and it will quickly resolve the problem. Also, if you are using the oils on an open sore or wound, it is always a good idea to dilute with coconut oil. Diffusion is powerful because the child can breathe it in and it kills microorganisms in the air which helps stop the spread of sickness. If the oils get in the eyes, it will sting but will not do damage. Simply rub a few drops of your diluter oil on the eye and it will help to relieve the suffering. You can combine and mix any of the oils as much as you like and the oils are safe with any medication. If you are not sure how to apply the oil, know that you can ALWAYS rub it on the bottoms of the feet and you will get the full affect.

The Virtues of Balm in Late Medieval Literature E. R. Truitt, Bryn Mawr College * In the Troy Book (c. 1412-1420), John Lydgate’s Middle English poem about the Trojan War, balsam (balm) kept Hector’s body extraordinarily well preserved, so that it appeared astonishingly alive. Priam wanted not only to erase all evidence of the abuse his son’s body suffered at the hands of Achilles, but also to keep Hector’s body preserved “from odour and abomynacioun,” with no evidence of decay, and displayed aboveground with a wholly life-like aspect: “But •at it be lifly and visible/ To •e eye, as be apparence, / Like as it were quyk in existence…1 But, as Lydgate noted, in the ordinary course of nature, “corrupte muste, ri •t of verray nede/…•er may be made noon opposicioun, / Aboue •e grounde •if •e body lie,/ •at of resoun it mvt putrefie…” 2 To achieve his desire to thwart nature, Priam summoned the most skilled artificers in Troy to build an elaborate tabernacle for Hector’s body and devise a method to keep his body “lifly visible.” These men placed Hector in the temple of Apollo, on a dais made of gold, crystal, and gemstones, and used “sotil crafte” to place Hector’s body upright, and he appeared …as he were lyvynge.

  • Components and Types of Varnishes
    Components and types of Varnishes Varnish is traditionally a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinner or solvent. However, different types of varnish have different components. After being applied, the film-forming substances in varnishes either harden directly, as soon as the solvent has fully evaporated, or harden after evaporation of the solvent through curing processes, primarily chemical reaction between oils and oxygen from the air (autoxidation) and chemical reactions between components of the varnish. Resin varnishes "dry" by evaporation of the solvent and harden almost immediately upon drying. Acrylic and waterborne varnishes "dry" upon evaporation of the water but will experience an extended curing period. Oil, polyurethane, and epoxy varnishes remain liquid even after evaporation of the solvent but quickly begin to cure, undergoing successive stages from liquid or syrupy, to tacky or sticky, to dry gummy, to "dry to the touch", to hard. Environmental factors such as heat and humidity play a very large role in the drying and curing times of varnishes. In classic varnish the cure rate depends on the type of oil used and, to some extent, on the ratio of oil to resin. The drying and curing time of all varnishes may be sped up by exposure to an energy source such as sunlight, ultraviolet light, or heat. Drying oil There are many different types of drying oils, including linseed oil, tung oil, and walnut oil. These contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Drying oils cure through an exothermic reaction between the polyunsaturated portion of the oil and oxygen from the air.

  • Balsam: the Most Expensive Perfume Plant in the Ancient World
    BALSAM: THE MOST EXPENSIVE PERFUME PLANT IN THE ANCIENT WORLD Zohar Amar and David Iluz Introduction Historical sources from the Hellenistic and Roman-Byzantine Periods made frequent mention of the Opobalsamum plant or the “Balm of Judea” (hereinafter referred to as “balsam”), as the plant source of a valuable perfume. The pure perfume was a sought-after commodity among the upper class, and due to the high price it commanded, a counterfeiting industry developed.1 The perfume’s prestige was due to its unique aroma and the medicinal properties attributed to it for treating various illnesses;2 it was renowned for its ability to treat headaches, early-stage cataracts, and blurred vision.3 It was used as well as a diuretic, as a curative for respiratory diseases and coughing, and as an anti-toxin — for example, as a snake venom antidote.4 It also served the field of gynecology in the * We are pleased to dedicate this article with respect and great admiration to Professor Daniel Sperber, the most illustrious contemporary scholar in the field of material culture as reflected in Rabbinic literature and from the perspectives of classical literature and archeological findings. This study was inspired by his important research which places the historical sources in their authentic settings. 1 M.

  • Frankincense & Myrrh
    Pub. No. 45 October 2016 Frankincense & Myrrh: Gifts of Tree History by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia The Winter holidays have many tree related symbols and images. The Christmas tree, frankincense, mistletoe, myrrh, holly berries, and mantle greenery over a wood fireplace all bring fond memories of past times. One symbolic gesture of holidays stretching back to the most ancient of days is giving of precious gifts. In the past there were few gifts as valuable as frankin- cense and myrrh tree resins. Frankincense and myrrh are strange words denoting far away places and scents. Immense fortunes and kingdoms rose and fell because of these resins. Both resins came close to home for many Americans as our soldiers walked the roads of Somalia. Although children remember gifts of the Magi, few people know the origin of these resins. Frankincense and myrrh are aromatic resins gathered from dryland trees. Secret Gifts Through the ages, frankincense and myrrh have been kingly gifts. Realms in Palestine, Egypt, Greece, Crete, Phoenicia, Rome, Babylon, and Syria were all presented with frankincense and myrrh in tribute. In antiquity, few knew how these luxuries were made, whether they were grown, mined, or distilled. Most especially, gathering and production of myrrh was kept secret for the sake of commerce. The precious qualities of frankincense and myrrh were legendary, and so were their cost. Since these precious substances were produced in only one place on Earth, the small king- doms of Southern Arabia held a monopoly on the market and trade routes.
