: as you mention.. My experiment shows Terpineol is the only oil which

Terpineol is a kind of terpine, it is not an essential oil. Geraniol,
lineol, and several others are terpines in a class known as
monoterpines. You missed a great deal of the chemistry that we went
through in June on the forum. We're NOT talking about essential oils,
or oils at all. We're talking about a special group of solvents that
occur naturally in a few essential oils. These solvents could be used
distilled, but the essential oils are fairly easy to obtain, and
because they're chemically complex, this complexity may have a
beneficial synergistic effect in the henna.

: Matter of fact it is amazing now that we are trying all sort of oils
: and exploring all the possibility with all kind of oils.

Why is it amazing?

We did test over 50 oils at Sirius Rising Henna Conference, carefully
comparison testing them on over 200 people. The oils I chose to test
had different levels of terpines, and the monoterpine group, with the
-ol endings, were the ones that made a difference. Oils which had few
or none of the terpines in this group made no difference in the
resulting henna stain.

: I was not aware even few
: years back we even used it in henna at all.

They've been used .. but the formulae were kept secret.
Who's "we"?

: * You mention two other oils geraniol and Lineol. Are they the same
: refined or raw form of Terpineol or they are different?

These are different molecules. They have different molecular
structures.

: please educate about the source of these oil?

I think I've got some of the links of information on my website ... if
not, I'll get them for you.

: *** Lastly, aren't all the Eucalyptus same regardless of where they
: are grown? I understood All the Eucalyptus have the same properties.
: at least they all smell same unless they have something mixed in it.

There are 70 different species of Eucalyptus, and they are all VERY
VERY different! They smell very different, and their distillations
have very different chemical properties!
