From The Stillroom
Women as healers and care-givers for their families and communities
pre-dates written history. From time immemorial women were expected
to give birth, nurture, heal, protect, provide for, and spend their days
steeped in the tradition of the wise women before them; caring for
themselves and their families and, quite often, the entire community.
The skills a woman brought to her marriage would very well determine
whether or not that family would live in comfort, have enough to eat,
stay well, and prosper.
The things we have come to accept as the comforts and necessities of
life were placed entirely in the realm of womanly arts. The womans arts
reached their peak during the late middle ages till the early part of the
last century, in the time of the stillroom.
The stillroom was a room separate from the kitchen but usually within
close proximity which contained a still. Unlike the large outdoor stills
used for making alcoholic beverages, the stillroom was a smaller and
simpler version used to distill herbs and to extract their essence for use
in medication, cosmetics, salves and many other household uses.

RECIPES
From The Stillroom
The stillroom was perhaps the most important room in a home
The stillroom recipe book was passed down from mother to daughter
and training in the stillroom arts had direct relation to the value a young
girl could bring to a marriage.
Everything that sustained and added quality of life to the family might
be found in the stillroom recipe book.
Today, with the increasing interest in aromatherapy, essential oils and
other natural forms of health care, the arts of the stillroom are again
gaining recognition and are truly the birthright of every woman.
Whenever you make a simple recipe, scent a homemade candle, enjoy
a potpourri from your own herb garden, make an herbal vinegar or
preserve food, you are participating in the preservation of the tradition
of womans arts and the legacy from the long forgotten stillroom.

Essential Oil Safety Precautions

If you or a member of your family becomes ill do not diagnose or treat yourself;
get proper medical treatment from a qualified health care provider. Then you
may proceed with complimentary aromatherapy to help you or your family
member.
Remember, aromatherapy is not to be used to replace proper medical care.
Essential Oils are very powerful, highly concentrated, and should only be used
in very small amounts. The suggestions in this information are for general
use; if you are undecided as to which Essential Oil to use, consult a qualified
aromatherapist.
Before using an Essential Oil, become familiar with its properties, methods of
application, toxicity, precautions, and contraindications; these will be found on
the data sheet for each single oil or blend.
General Precautions
Only purchase Essential Oils from a reputable company that provides a lot
number, batch number, and tamper-proof lid on each oil.
Only use high quality Essential Oils identified by the botanical name and
chemical variety (ct chemo-type) of the oil where appropriate.
For example, Thymus vulgaris is the botanical name for Thyme. There
are two different chemo-types of Thyme commonly sold. Thyme ct. thymol
contains phenols and is an irritant to the skin and large amounts are liver
toxic which makes it inappropriate for children, the elderly, or those who
have liver diseases. The other is Thyme ct. linalool which is non-toxic and
non-irritating and is very useful for children.
Keep all Essential Oils away from children, with the caps securely
tightened.
Do not expose Essential Oils to heat, light, or air. Replacing the caps as
soon as you finish with the bottle will help to extend the life of your oils.
Unnecessary exposure to the air will cause the oils to oxidize and spoil.

Keep Essential Oils Out Of The Eyes
When using Essential Oils with children and the very elderly, use caution
when applying oils to the hands as they may rub them in their eyes.
Should Essential Oil get into the eyes, wash it out with whole milk or
vegetable oil to dilute before seeking medical advice.
Internal Use
Never take Essential Oils by mouth unless under the guidance of a suitably
qualified practitioner, working in cooperation with your doctor.
Follow suggested usage guidelines.
Do not attempt to exceed suggested usage guidelines unless under the
care of a qualified aromatherapist.
Pregnancy & Internal Use

Do not use Essential Oils orally when pregnant.
Essential Oils pass through the placenta, and the high concentration of
Essential Oil molecules will be difficult for the developing fetus to detoxify
as their systems are not yet mature or fully functional.
When ingested, Essential Oil molecules enter the bloodstream about ten
times more than when applied topically.
Did you know...

Clinical studies have shown that Essential
Oils assist with the release of traumatic and
negative emotions.
Preschoolers are the fastest growing
age group being prescribed antidepressants.*

Poisoning
Even a 5 ml bottle can contain enough Essential Oil for a lethal dose of
poisoning if a child were to accidentally drink the entire bottle.
Always keep Essential Oils out of reach of children, with the orifice reducer
in place and the lid tightly closed.
Remember, when plants are distilled the resulting oil is 100 times more
concentrated than the plant material.
Nasal Application
The mucus membranes of the nasal passages are known to readily absorb
whatever is placed inside, such as the nasal sprays used to administer
certain prescription medications. Care must be taken when using this
method of application with Essential Oils.
As reported by Penny Price, serious though non-fatal toxicity in children has
been reported when applying or injecting Peppermint and/or Eucalyptus
Globulus inside the nose.
Many professional aromatherapists recommend against instilling Essential
Oils into the noses of children under age of six.
Dermal Irritation
If a person is subect to allergies, patch testing is advisable. Should an
irritation occur, apply carrier oil to the area to dilute the Essential Oil and
stop the irritation. Do not wash the area as water will enhance the irritation.
In children under six years of age, avoid Essential Oils known to cause skin
irritation or photo-toxicity.
With the exception of Lavender Fine, Lavender Vera, Tea Tree, and
Ravensara on the soles of the feet, all Essential Oils should be diluted
when used on children or the elderly.

Diffuser Safety
Do not use diffusers that have a naked flame in the form of a candle around
children and pets as they may accidentally knock them over starting a fire.
Blending Or Re-bottling Oils

Prominently label all Essential Oil blends that you make with ingredients,
usage, and date to prevent confusion when treating different family
members and ailments.
Peppermint Cautions
Do not use Peppermint Essential Oil on children under three years of age.
The menthol can, in rare cases, cause a breathing spasm.
Peppermint Essential Oil is not recommended for those who are suffering
from atrial fibrillation for the same reason.
If you are taking homeopathic remedies, all Essential Oil treatments must
be given at least one hour apart to prevent interference. When using
Peppermint, homeopathic and Essential Oil treatment should be spaced at
least two to three hours apart.
Peppermint stays on your fingers long after you have washed your hands
and you could rub it into your eyes. Always apply Essential Oils with the
little finger as it is least likely to get into your eye.
Did you know...

Essential Oils are lipid acids, the building blocks of living cells.
Their small molecular size allows them to be
easily absorbed through the skin and to travel
throughout the body.
Thats why Essential Oils are so easily
recognized and utilized by our bodies.

Birch & Wintergreen Cautions
Both Birch and Wintergreen Essential Oils contain methyl salicylate, the main
ingredient in aspirin. Birch and Wintergreen are among the only plants in
the world that naturally contain methyl salicylate. Thirty ml (about 1 fl oz) of
Wintergreen Essential Oil is equivalent to about 171 adult aspirin tablets.
Extreme caution should be utilized when using Birch or Wintergreen Essential
Oils to avoid potential methyl salicylate toxicity.
Topically applied Birch oil and Wintergreen oil, which are both high in
methyl salicylate, can potentiate the anticoagulant effect of Warfarin
causing side effects such as internal hemorrhage. Similar effect may be
possible with other anticoagulant drugs.
Contraindicated for those facing major surgery, hemophilia, or other
bleeding disorders.
Not recommended during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, for young
children, or those with methyl salicylate (aspirin) sensitivity.
Oregano & Thyme ct. Thymol Cautions

Oregano and Thyme ct. Thymol are both high in phenols (carvacrol
and thymol); large doses or prolonged use are toxic to the liver. Not
recommended for use with children under 12 years of age, the very elderly,
or those who have had hepatitis or other liver damaging diseases.
Phenols are skin and mucus membrane irritants. Dilute to 1% and patch
test before use on skin to avoid possible irritation.
Do not take internally unless under the care of a professionally trained
aromatherapist.
Oregano oil inhibits platelet aggregation and may potentiate anticoagulant
medications. Oregano was also found to potentiate diabetic medication.
It is contraindicated during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, and for small
children.

Children, The Elderly, And Those With Debilitating Diseases
Some Essential Oils are hard on the liver and not appropriate for children, the
elderly, and those with debilitating disease.
The information and recipes found in this book are designed to be nontoxic and well tolerated by children, the elderly, and those with debilitating
disease.
For best results and optimal safety, always refer to General and
Reasonable Cautions before using suggested Essential Oils.

and elderly.
All Essential Oils referenced in this document should be used in the manner
indicated.

Essential Oil Recipes For The Elderly

The use of Essential Oils with the elderly has been proven to be beneficial in
many ways. Whenever possible allow the individual to choose the Essential
Oils that they prefer. If non-communicative, observe body language and facial
expression for insight into their likes and dislikes.
We suggest the following applications and dilutions when using Essential Oils
with the frail or elderly.
Bath
Add 1-2 drops to Clay Vitality or Vitality Bath Salts and mix into warm bath
water.
Cleaning/Disinfecting
Many Essential Oils are antibacterial and antiviral; add 1-2 drops to dishwasher,
washing machine, and cleaning products to clean & disinfect.
Dietary
Under the supervision of a licensed practitioner, you may ingest GRAS

(Generally Regarded As Safe) approved Essential Oils by putting 1 drop in
a veggie capsule with carrier oil. GRAS approved oils can also be added to
recipes, sauces, and dressings using a toothpick.
Diffusion
Diffuse 5 drops in a cool mist Essential Oil diffuser. Limit to 15 minutes, hourly.
Aromatic Emotions...
How often has the aroma of a freshly baked pizza instantly lifted your spirits?
Think back to the last time you inhaled the aroma of cookies in the oven. If you
pay close attention youll notice your body instantly start to relax. Does the smell
of a hospital or the aroma in a doctors office set your heart racing or your palms
sweating?
The Aromatic Emotions stored in each of our brains are as different from each
other as the experiences we had when we first inhaled the aroma. This is part of
the reason why not everyone likes the same smells.
When you think about the good times and, yes, the bad times too, you will realize
that they each have an aroma attached to them. Our memories dont decide to
keep only the good things that occur in our lives. Our body, specifically the limbic
system in our brain, stores all of our memories, and with them, the aromas that
were present at that time.

Elderly

Inhalation
Put 1-2 drops on a tissue or cotton ball (can be placed in pillowcase or pinned
to clothing.
Layer On Hands Or Feet
Use 1-2 drops diluted in 1 teaspoon carrier oil. Lightly apply on reflex points on
either hands or feet.
Compress
Mix 2-4 drops of oil in 1 pint of hot or cold water; soak small towel in the water
and apply on desired location. Cover the area with a dry towel and heating pad
or ice pack.
Light Massage
Mix 3-4 drops to 1 ounce of carrier oil. Be sure to always massage with a light
touch and in an upward direction towards the heart.
For those who enjoy physical contact using massage as an application method
provides the additional benefit of personal contact, helping to reduce anxiety,
stress, and agitation.
Misting
Mix 10-12 drops with 4 ounces distilled water in a cobalt blue glass or PET
bottle. Label. Shake well and mist into environment as desired.
Personal Care
Add 2-3 drops to 4 to 8 ounces of deodorant, hair care, skin care, and oral care
products to create a customized Essential Oil infused personal care products.

Agitation
Agitation in the elderly can sometimes be the result of physical discomfort such
as hunger, constipation, and deprivation. These are such basic needs that we

Lavender Aromatherapy Reduces Falls in Elderly Nursing Home Residents
by Heather S. Oliff, PhD, HerbClip, 11/30/12
Link to study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22646853
Nursing home residents who continuously wore a Lavender scented
aromatherapy patch were less likely to fall in a recent study from Japan. The
aroma was so faint that only the person wearing the patch could sense it. A
fresh patch was affixed to the persons clothing near the neck every day for a
year.
The Essential Oil of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is used in aromatherapy
to treat anxiety, nervousness, insomnia, and melancholy. Studies have shown
that aromatherapy using Lavender can improve balance and gait performance
and reduce anxiety in elderly people. The purpose of this randomized, placebocontrolled, double-blinded study was to evaluate the effect of continuous
lavender olfactory stimulation on the incidence and risk of falls in elderly nursing
home residents.

Many of the memory enhancing drugs currently used in the treatment of
Alzheimers disease are designed to inhibit the enzyme cholinesterase. It is
responsible for breaking down acetylcholine in the body.
Acetylcholine is key to the central nervous system as it acts as a
neuromodulator, and when there is damage to the cholinergic (acetylcholineproducing) system it affects memory, REM sleep, attention, and sensory
perceptions.
Several Essential Oils such as Lemon, Rosemary, and Spanish Sage
have been shown to act in a similar way as conventional drugs inhibiting
cholinesterase, but without negative side effects.
It has also been shown that using these Essential Oils in their natural state
vs. isolating chemical constituents has a greater effect on preventing the
breakdown of acetylcholine. 4, 5, 6, 7

The goDsana Advantage

Since entering the world of aromatherapy well over 20 years ago, Alexandria
Brighton has emerged as one of the foremost authorities on this ancient healing
art.
In her capacity as an internationally recognized,
certified French Medicinal Aromatherapist,
formulator, Master Blender and educator of
Essential Oils, she has formulated everything
from medicinal to cosmetic blends for a variety
of companies throughout the world.
Alexandrias relationships with medical
aromatherapists and researchers around the
world provide her with the most up-to-date
information on the use, safety, and sourcing of therapeutic essential oils.
Alexandrias deeply intuitive nature, spiritual insights, wisdom and ability to
process and integrate the information she gathers have set her apart as a
cutting-edge educator in the field of aromatherapy.
Our Promise
All goDsana Essential Oils are 100% pure, therapeutic grade, certified organic
and/or wild-crafted oils.
They are sourced, formulated, and approved by Alexandria Brighton.
Samples of all goDsana Essential Oils, along with the Material Safety Data
Sheets, Mass Spectrometry Documents, Gas Chromatography Documents,
and independent laboratory certification of purity are sent to Alexandria for her
approval prior to being shipped to goDsana.
All goDsana Essential Oils are independently certified 100% pure, with no
artificial, synthetic, or adulterated ingredients.

goDsana Raises The Essential Oil Bar

goDsana and Alexandria Brighton take extensive measures to assure that you
receive the highest quality therapeutic grade Essential Oils available.
More often than not, the Essential Oils that are in so many products on the
market are not derived from a plant, but from a test tube in a lab.
Or if derived from a plant (originally), theyre so diluted, extended, or adulterated
that the marketable end result is anything but a therapeutic Essential Oil.
All goDsana Essential Oils are independently tested and documented for
purity, authenticity, and therapeutic chemical constituent levels.
Our Selection Process

Alexandria Brighton has traveled the world, hand selecting many of the farms
and distilleries according to her stringent guidelines.
Because of the relationships formed with distilleries, farms, and suppliers, she
has the ability to source the very best ingredients from around the world, and
has long standing contracts for their purchase year after year.
Therefore, much of what is left available to other companies to purchase is mid
to low quality.

Int J Nurs Pract. 1998 Jun ;4 (2):70-83 9748936 Cit:9 New approaches to
health and well-being for dementia day-care clients, family carers and daycare staff. K Kilstoff, L Chenoweth
Faculty of Nursing, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. Kathy.
Kilstoff@uts.edu.au
This study was conducted in one multicultural dementia day-care centre
over a period of 18 months. It introduced a gentle hand treatment for clients
using three essential oils.
The study evolved out of the process of action research where the family
carers and day-care staff participated with the researchers to choose,
design, develop and evaluate a hand treatment programme. Data was
collected through in-depth interviews pre- and post-treatment, focus group
discussions, client observation logbooks and a disability scale.
The findings indicate a positive strengthening of the relationship between
the person with dementia and their family carer, and an improvement in
feelings of health and well-being for both. The specific improvements for
clients include increased alertness, self-hygiene, contentment, initiation of
toileting, sleeping at night and reduced levels of agitation, withdrawal and
wandering.
Family carers have reported less distress, improved sleeping patterns
and feelings of calm. They also found the treatment useful in helping them
manage the difficult behaviours exhibited by their relative with dementia.
The benefits of this treatment for nursing practice are that it is safe,
effective and easily administered by staff in any setting.
