Botanical Name:
An evergreen and often resinous shrub to small tree ( 3-8 meters) in height. Grows in may areas predominantly found on Western slopes and plains of New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia. Exhibits dark, rough bark, with hairless leaves that are bright green and aromatic. The scented wood is burnt for its pleasant aroma.
Oil Characteristics:
Buddha Wood occurs in the arid areas of New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia. The tree, very common in Western Queensland, is often confused with Santalum lanceolatum known as Australian sandalwood. The logs, after reduction to shavings, yield from 2-3% of a dark coloured viscous oil with a pleasant and characteristic odour. The oil, though dark in colour and neither a substitute nor an alternative for true sandalwood oil (Santalum album L.), possesses marked blending and fixative qualities.
Chemical Characteristics:
Its main components are three closely related sesquiterpene ketones - eremophilone; 2-hydroxyeremophilone; 2-hydroxy-2-dihydroeremophilone - none of which have ever before been discovered in nature. Chemcially related to Agar Wood.
Class: Ketone. Almost 100% ketones. Eremphilone, hydroxyeremophilone, hydroxy dihydroeremophilone

Remarks:
There are several reports on the biological activity and ethnopharmacology of E.
mitchellii in the literature. The plant has been used by the aboriginal people for the
treatment of rheumatism (Low, 1990). Kerr (1951) demonstrated that the wood oil was
virtually non-toxic as a fly spray but when incorporated with the pyrethrins it had an
adjuvant action. Kerr observed that the wood oil produced a marked increase in fly
122
mortality in comparison to the pyrethrins alone. More recently Wilkinson and
Cavanagh (2005) have reported on the antimicrobial activity of the wood oil against C.
albicans and five different bacteria. The undiluted oil showed inhibition against
Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Alcaligenes faecalis
and Candida albicans, no inhibition was observed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Warnings:
No formal testing. Avoid use with pregnant women, children, and infants. May cause irritation to sensitive skin.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant evergreen needle-like leaves. It is native to the Mediterranean region. It is a member of the mint family Lamiaceae, which also includes many other herbs.
The name rosemary derives from the Latin name rosmarinus, which is from dew (ros) and sea (marinus), or dew of the sea
Uses:
Traditional use
Rosemary has a very old reputation for improving memory, and has been used as a symbol for remembrance (during weddings, war commemorations and funerals) in Europe and Australia. Mourners would throw it into graves as a symbol of remembrance for the dead. One modern study showed that when the smell of rosemary was pumped into cubicles where people were working, those people showed improved memory, though with slower recall.
Rosemary contains a number of potentially biologically active compounds, including antioxidants such as carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid. Other bioactive compounds include camphor (up to 20% in dry rosemary leaves), caffeic acid, ursolic acid, betulinic acid, rosmaridiphenol, and rosmanol.
Directions:
Use in oil burner: add a few drops to water.
Possible skin irritant; Test on small area of skin and dilute if necessary, before use.
NOT TO BE TAKEN INTERNALLY
Production Method:
Extraction
Warnings:
A few instances of allergic skin reactions to topical preparations containing rosemary have been reported.
Recent European research has shown that rosemary interferes with the absorption of iron in the diet, which indicates that it should not be used internally by persons with iron deficiency anemia. Rosemary in culinary or therapeutic doses is generally safe. Toxicity studies of the plant on rats has shown hepatoprotective and antimutagenic activities, however, precaution is necessary for those displaying allergic reaction or prone to epileptic seizures. Rosemary essential oil may have epileptogenic properties, as a handful of case reports over the past century have linked its use with seizures in otherwise healthy adults or children.[12] Rosemary essential oil is potentially toxic if ingested. Large quantities of rosemary leaves can cause adverse reactions, such as coma, spasm, vomiting, and pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) that can be fatal. Avoid consuming large quantities of rosemary especially if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Uses:
For those that are flighty, nervous or distraught, Blue Cypress Oil has an immediate grounding effect when inhaled. The oil is used as a fixative in perfumery, and as an ingredient in men's products. Hydrosol: Use topically for skin care, aftershave, mist in rooms for a calming effect.

Fragonia ia a lignotuberous shrub reaching approximately 2.4m in height. It has erect flowering branches and thick rigid leaves along with small clusters of five
white petalled flowers and a pretty pink centre. Flowering takes place between January and May typically. It is found on the south coast of Western Australia. Recognised as coarse tea-tree by the cut flower industry, it has only recently been given its common name, which reflects the fragrant nature of both the foliage and the extracted oil.
Uses:
A safe and effective essential oil with the potential to be used in conditions both physiologically and emotionally and so effective for or all body systems. The ratio of the molecular families of Fragonia and the proportions between the molecules are arranged according to the golden proportion. Because this golden proportion is reproduced at several levels, we obtain the picture of the structure that is known in modern physics as a fractal. To have in a single EO, at the same time, the golden proportion and the fractal structure is absolutely unique! Researchers have never come across on essential oil before that has this amazing power of harmonization and rebalancing. Fragonia also has application in stress-related problems and mentality because of its effect of creating balance in the body and mind.
The apparent uniqueness of Fragonia™ is its ability to work at a deep level, releasing physical and emotional blockages and having the capacity to bring harmony, peace and balance. As a regulating/balancing oil, it can help with stuck, congestive and interrupted conditions and bring the body’s natural healing abilities back into line.
Fragoniaâ„¢ is a female oil, a yin oil. It works well when applied to the upper chakras of the body, where blockages occur and have become stuck. These can involve issues of grief, lingering hurts and emotional enmeshments stemming from unresolved family and other core issues and of course, pain and hurt from loss of love and relationships.
Regulation of the Body Clock
Fragoniaâ„¢ appears to have a very positive effect in preventing or minimizing the symptoms of jet lag. Many shift workers report that Fragoniaâ„¢ has seemed to lessen their requirement to use alcohol (to relax) and coffee (to stimulate) to regulate their body clock.
The symptoms of jet lag and shift work are primarily due to a disturbance of the circadian rhythm and sleep cycle. Endogenous melatonin secreted by the pineal gland has been identified as contributing to the physiological regulation of circadian rhythms.
These outcomes indicate a possible interaction of Fragoniaâ„¢ with the pineal gland.
For information on the Influence on the Female Menstrual Cycle check with your aromatherapist and also the University of Western Australia
Fragoniaâ„¢ seems to assist in the female or yin condition. At an emotional level it particularly helps alleviate grief and sadness, while dispersing, clearing, opening up, balancing, calming and bringing harmony.
