can anyone tell me what hormone is clary sage similar to i no ive heard it before but can't remember:mad:
arrgh another
when asking for the toxicity of oils what am i looking for? is it contra indications/ caut:mad:ions
Clary sage is thought to be oestrogen-like due to it's schareol content (plant oestrogen).
As for your other question regarding toxicity, there are some oils which are thought to be toxic and which shouldn't be used in aromatherapy. Also, some essential oils which are used in aromatherapy, are not recommended for use on people with certain conditions (contra-indications) and some oils should be used in lower dilutions than others or not on a regular basis. Other things to consider would be phototoxicity, sensitisation, and allergic reactions.
thanx
thankyou so much got it now phew xxx
Colltom, with respect, you really should be doing as much as you can to research these questions yourself.
I would have thought the answers to your questions would be within your coursework. If they aren't you really need to see your course provider.
Personally, I could answer all these questions you are asking and I have noticed that all your posts relate to coursework and to others answering your questions.
If other forumers wish to do this for you then that is their choice but as I said in another thread, it doesn't mean you learn any better.
Respectfully
