Vetiver - Vetiveria zizanoides

This tall, tufted, scented grass has a straight stem, long narrow leaves and an abundant lacework of underground white rootlets. It is a perennial native to south India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka and is also cultivated in Reunion, the Philippines and West and South America. The dark-brown, olive or amber essential oil is steam-distilled from the roots and the rootlets. Although the oil is mainly produced in Java, Haiti and Reunion, some is distilled in Europe and the United States.

Since antiquity the rootlets have been used in the East for their fine fragrance. Vetiver essential oil imparts a sense of tranquility and peace. I find it to be deeply relaxing and a perfect oil to help one settle into the autumn season. This essential oil is also helpful with arthritis, muscular aches and pains, and stiffness. It also helps with acne and oily skin. Of this oil�s many benefits, my personal favorites are its grounding properties of tranquility and peace.

This is general information regarding vetiver and vetiver essential oil. We encourage you to learn more about vetiver through research and see how it can benefit your life. You can purchase essential oils through FrogWorks. (Essential oils are not on our website - please call or email) Thanks!

This year the autumnal equinox was officially celebrated on September 23. The autumnal equinox is the second time in the calendar year that day and night are of equal lengths, the first being the spring/vernal equinox. You will now notice that the nights are getting longer and the days are getting shorter. It is a time when the sun goes into the earth only to return on the winter solstice when the days again become longer and the nights shorter.

In many traditions, autumn is regarded as a time for reckoning and balance. It is time for reflection, a time to honor our family and friends or remember those who are no longer with us. It is also, of course, a time to celebrate the harvest season and be grateful for the earth�s abundance. Some traditions consider the autumnal equinox the end of one year and the beginning of another.

When harvest season draws to a close, societies reflect on the work they have accomplished, as they lay down their stores for winter and many celebrations are enjoyed. The autumnal equinox signals a return of the cooler weather that favors slowing down, introspection and conversation. So enjoy this time of year, by taking it easy, reflecting and finding time for family and friends.

This workshop, set near beautiful Roxborough Park, will help move the energy of this emotion in a holistic approach, attending to mind, body and spirit. Guided by international aromatherapist Frances Cleveland and deep-listening coach Janet Fiorenzo, you will:

Lemon - Citrus limon

This small evergreen tree that can grow up to 19 feet high with serrated oval leaves, stiff thorns and fragrant flowers provides us with one of the most important and versatile natural medicines. Lemons are high in vitamin C which helps improve resistance to infection. Lemon juice helps with cold, flu and chest infections. It acts as a tonic for the liver and pancreas, improves appetite and helps to ease stomach acidity, ulcers, arthritis, gout and rheumatism.

The essential oil is cold-expressed from the outer part of the fresh lemon peel. The result is a pale green-yellow liquid with a light and fresh citrus smell, which is very uplifting to your senses. With its antiseptic, antispasmodic, antitoxic, astringent and carminative properties (just to name a few), lemon essential oil helps with acne, brittle nails, greasy skin, insect bites, warts, arthritis, poor circulation, throat infections, colds, flu and low energy. So enjoy your lemonade and lemon essential oil this summer!

We have included a �Fresh Lemonade� recipe at the end of the class list section. Enjoy!

This is general information regarding lemon and lemon essential oil. We encourage you to learn more about lemon through research and see how it can benefit your life. Thanks!

Grapefruit - Citrus paradisi

The Grapefruit Tree is native to tropical Asia and the West Indies. It is now cultivated in California, Florida, Brazil and Israel. This tree stands over 20 to 33 feet high with glossy green leaves and large yellow fruit.

The essential oil is obtained by cold expression of the fruit's peel. It is a yellowish or greenish liquid with a fresh, sweet citrus aroma. It is a wonderful essential oil that helps with congested and oily skin and tones the skin and tissues. It has been reported to help with cellulites; so add some grapefruit oil to your next Aromatic Party Salt Scrub. The scent of grapefruit essential oil is so light and delicate that it helps lift the spirits immediately. It can also be useful for relieving headaches, nervous exhaustion and all types of stress.

Grapefruit also shares the nutritional qualities of other citrus species being high in Vitamin C and a valuable protection against infectious illness.

This is general information regarding grapefruit, and grapefruit essential oil we encourage you to learn more about grapefruit through research and see how it can benefit your life. Thanks!

FrogWorks' Facial Gel was designed as a replenishing skin care product. Many people comment on how soft and toned their faces feel after application.

Our Facial Gel gets its skin rejuvenating qualities from the Lavender, Neroli and Carrot Seed essential oils. Lavender is known for its balancing action on sebum and for promoting growth of new cells. Neroli regenerates skin cells and improves the skin's elasticity. Carrot Seed improves the complexion of the skin due to its strengthening effect on red blood cells; and it also increases skin tone elasticity. Carrot Seed is also noted to give a more youthful appearance and is said to remove age spots. This product is a great addition to the rest of your facial skin care products.

Frogworks' Facial Gel & Facial Mist are a great combination for your skin care needs.

Healing Balm was originally designed to help with my husband's finger cracks, my horse's hock sores and my dog's little sores on the tips of his ears. This product has been very successful in helping all these conditions. Some people have commented that it worked overnight on their finger cracks. It is an impressive product and one that really works.

This product's moisturizing and healing properties can help with sores, cuts, finger cracks, horse's hock sores, sores on dogs' pads, dry itchy rashes and rough skin. Another great product for you and your animals!

Rose - Rosa centifolia

It is has been said that the birthplace of the cultivated Rose was in ancient Persia. Today Roses are cultivated in Morocco, Tunisia, Italy, France, Yugoslavia and China. There are over 10,000 types of cultivated Roses and only 100 Wild Roses or so called Species Roses (the latter statement is always under consideration by botanists). Rose essential oil is a hybrid between rosa centifolia and rosa gallica "the Apothecary's Rose". Another rose cultivated for its oil is the Turkish or Bulgarian Rose rosa damascena.

Rose Essential oil is great for dry skin, broken capillaries and mature and sensitive skin. This beautiful oil helps with poor circulation, feelings of depression, nervous tension and headaches. The Rose also offers medicinal properties through its petals; it is preferred to use roses that yield a deep red petal color. Rose petals in tea are said to have strengthening properties for the stomach, heart and liver. I just like how they taste and smell in my tea. Another gift the Rose gives is its fruit (hips), which are collected in autumn after a hard frost. The hips are rich in Vitamin C, mild laxative and mild diuretic.

As Marguerite Maury, author of "A Guide to Aromatherapy", so elegantly states, "But the Rose procures us one thing above all: a feeling of well being, even of happiness, and the individual under its influence will develop an amiable tolerance."

This is general information regarding rose, and rose essential oil we encourage you to learn more about rose through research and see how it can benefit your life. Thanks!

Immune Boost is a blend of Ravensara, Bay Laurel and Niaoulli essential oils. The combination of oils gives this product the following properties: anti-infectious, antiviral, antibacterial, antiseptic and expectorant. Immune Boost was designed to help with colds, viruses, flu, chest colds and the feeling of being rundown. It also has a warming effect on the emotions. "I love to travel with my Immune Boost or just have it handy when I am around other people who may be ailing."

Garth's Sneezing Remedy is a blend of Basil, Roman Chamomile, Frankincense and Peppermint essential oils. This synergistic blend of oils was designed for a friend's dog that had a sneezing and reversed sneezing condition. It worked so well for her dog we decided it was worth sharing with other dogs. Some people have bought this product for their dogs with allergies and anxiety issues.
