Thanks so much for typing this list out! I'm going to print it out, so I can resort to it at a later time. :)

Thanks Woldladystar. I have all of my oils catalogued on index cards (I know I'm an AT geek! :p), so I can use this list to add on to them. And that also helps me to find if I need to buy anything new.

Thanks!

[Wolfladystar]

You are most welcome, always glad to be of service... The oils have so many uses, it's hard to get them all.... I am always adding to my list... *

I think this is also called Artemesia...and I can't find the book that had the uses for it listed.

Anyone know what this is good for?

Thanks!

I believe it is spelled Artemisia Absinthium... (Wormwood, mugwart, sea wormwood, field wormwood, are all part of the same family of plants.)

It is mostly used for after meal stomach problems, the sea wormwood is also used for increasing the appetite... Some believe it rids the body of worms that are causing the stomach problems. But that is all I know about it... *

:eek: No rosemary?

[Wolfladystar]

Rosemary is on my list if that is what you mean....

FaeRain... Artemisia Absinthium, is nasty stuff, and not to safe to use.... as far as an oil goes.... None of the EO books I have recomend using it at all.... I don't know as an herb, they are not as strong as oils.... just a heads up on that one....
