General Question

If you regularly use botanicals for simple household and medicinal (instead of over-the-counter products) tasks, would you care to share some information resources?

Asked by canidmajor (21640points) May 22nd, 2022

I make a lot of stuff at home with botanical blends for all sorts of things, I’d love to know book titles, websites, any sources that you have found reliable and could share.

As summer approaches, scrapes, bug bites and muscle aches increase exponentially, time to make stuff!

General question, please keep that in mind.

I have found a lovely essential oil bathroom cleaner. Does a dandy job, and it doesn’t put a lot of chemicals into my environment for me to have to deal with. I am especially sensitive to fragrances, so this product is awesome. I know there are a lot of recipes for this sort of thing. I’ll probably make my own when I run out, but this was a gift.

For some reason bugs generally leave me alone, which is lovely indeed. And I have no muscle aches so I’m in good shape there.

Young living and doTERRA are both well-known but they are not “the best”. They are just the most expensive.

I like these guys because they don’t sell anything, yet their information is top notch. https://www.aromaweb.com/
There are ads, but they are just down the side of the page and they don’t flash or anything. I have bought essential oils from Birch Hill (one of the advertisers), and the oils were excellent.

I’d like to hear your feedback on this website.

I’ll take a look! I have just started experimenting wit making my own oils.
