Re: Has anyone tried Lavender?Posted by Catherine Cartwright Jones on August 6, 2001 at 19:15:48: In reply to: Has anyone tried Lavender? posted by Ronna on August 6, 2001 at 15:59:09: We used lavendar in the Sirius tests, and it will improve stain.The constituents are: linalyl acetate 40% + linalol, lavandulol, lavandulyl acetate, terpineol, cineol, limonene, ocimene, caryophyllene. Linalol is a likely looking molecule for assisting henna, and you see also there our wonderful friends Mssrs. Terpineol and Cineol. Lavendar is not as good as Tea Tree or Cajaput, and I didn't get to test it in as many ways as I would have liked. At some point I'll go back into all those tests and go farther under more controlled conditions. Tea Tree is just faboo with: terpinene-4-ol 30% + cineol, pinene, terpinenes, cymene, sesquiterpenes, sesquiterpene alcohols and just at the moment I've mislaid my Cajaput link .... but it's got all the right noogies. Look for any constituents that are monoterpines with the -ol ending. Those are your potential friends!
