¶WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS...
"""
An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile (easily evaporated at normal temperatures) chemical compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetheroleum, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove. An essential oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived.
The term "essential" used here does not mean indispensable or usable by the human body, as with the terms essential amino acid or essential fatty acid, which are so called because they are nutritionally required by a given living organism.
Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using steam. Other processes include expression, solvent extraction, sfumatura, absolute oil extraction, resin tapping, wax embedding, and cold pressing. They are used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and other products, for flavoring food and drink, and for adding scents to incense and household cleaning products. Essential oils should not be confused with perfume, fragrance, etc. as the latter usually include pure chemical components whereas essential oils are derived from plants.
Essential oils are often used for aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine in which healing effects are ascribed to aromatic compounds. Aromatherapy may be useful to induce relaxation, but there is not sufficient evidence that essential oils can effectively treat any condition. Improper use of essential oils may cause harm including allergic reactions, inflammation and skin irritation, and children may be particularly susceptible to the toxic effects of improper use.

¶ "direct" inhalation
"The most common way to use essential oils is to inhale them, either directly out of the bottle or by using a diffuser or humidifier."
* Direct from the bottle
"The easiest method of inhalation is to open a bottle of pure essential oil and inhale deeply a few times. But don’t let the undiluted oil touch your skin.
* The steam method
"you’ll need a bowl of hot water and a towel. Place the bowl on a table and add a few drops of essential oil. Place a towel over your head and the bowl. Close your eyes and deeply inhale the steam for several minutes. Repeat a few times throughout the day."
* Shower
"To inhale essential oils while you shower, add a few drops to the shower walls and inhale deeply as you shower. Or add a few drops of diluted essential oil to a warm washcloth that can be used for inhalation and to gently exfoliate your body."

¶ compresses
* Hot compresses
"""
Hot compresses are used to treat old injuries, muscle pain, rheumatic pain, menstrual cramps, boils, and toothache.
Making a hot compress
To make a hot compress, take about a pint of hot water, as warm as you can comfortably stand it, and add about 4 drops of your selected essential oil to it. Then place your folded piece of material, bandage or small towel, on top of the water and let it soak it up. Next wring out the excess water and place it over the area to be treated.
Cover the warm compress with either cling wrap or a plastic bag, and another towel on top to keep it in place. You may bandage the compress lightly if applied to an awkward place where it keeps slipping of.
Leave on, and replace with a new compress as soon as it has cooled to body temperature.
"""
* Cold compresses
"""
Cold compresses are used for recent sprains, bruising, swelling and inflammation, fever and headaches. It can also be used as a pep-up when feeling tired.
Making a cold compress
A cold compress is made exactly the same as the hot compress, but ice or refrigerated water is used instead of the hot water, and the compress is replaced when it has heated up to body temperature.

¶ sauna
"A sauna is a dry-heat sweat bath and forms an integral part of alternative health therapies as well as most hydrotherapies in the world today. Most heath clubs and gyms have sauna facilities. The main difference between a Turkish bath and a sauna is the fact that a Turkish bath relies on hot, wet steam - whereas a sauna relies on drier heat."
"Most people associate the smell of Eucalyptus with a sauna, but in Finland, the birthplace of saunas, the smell of Birch is associated with them, as Birch logs are traditionally used to fire the saunas."
"Pure undiluted essential oil must never be placed on the super-heated rocks of the sauna - the dilution to use is to add 4 drops of pure essential oil to 1 liter of water, and then to use this fragranced water when dousing the rocks in the sauna."

¶EO vs ABSOLUTES
"""
Like their essential oil counterparts, absolutes are highly aromatic liquids extracted from plants. Absolutes, however, are not distilled in a still. Absolutes are extracted in a complex manner that requires the use of a chemical solvent to extract the precious aromatics from the plant material. The solvent is then later removed during the final stages of production. A trace amount of the solvent, however, can remain in the final aromatic absolute.
Although the amount of remaining solvent is considered tiny in carefully extracted absolutes, steam distilled essential oils are preferred within the scope of holistic aromatherapy.

¶EO vs HYDROLATES ("flower waters")
"Hydrolates, also referred to as floral water, are not as well-known as their closely related essential oils. It's a pity really since they are as effective as essential oils. (...) A hydrolate is formed when essential oils are steamed distilled. During this process, all fat-soluble and fleeting plant ingredients form a concentrate in oil. Plants, however, also contain several water-soluble components that are left behind in the distilled water, i.e. hydrolate."

What can hydrolates by used for?
Hydrolates can be used in a variety of ways. We have listed a few ways how these floral waters can be applied:

What can hydrolates by used for?
Hydrolates can be used in a variety of ways. We have listed a few ways how these floral waters can be applied:
- Compressors: to treat irritations, sports injuries, sunburn or small wounds.
- Inhalation: Certain hydrolates can be used for inhalation when one suffers from bronchitis.
- Consumption: Hydrolates can be consumed when following a particular row of treatments. However, these first need to be diluted in water using the appropriate ratios.
- Flavouring meals: Floral waters possess beautiful fragrances and can lend your meals that certain "je ne sais quoi".
- Room fragrancing: Much like essential oils, hydrolates can be used to fragrance living or office spaces or place a few drop into your diffuser.
- Floral waters are perfectly suited as a facial toner or after-shave, but also as an ingredient incorporated into homemade cosmetics.

1. Clove oil
Preliminary studies of clove oil’s antibacterial effects are promising. A 2016 study suggests that clove oil may help to kill E. coli, particularly when the bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics.
2. Oregano oil
A 2012 studyTrusted Source found that oregano oil could slow or stop the growth of E. coli and other bacteria. The bacteria strains used in the study resisted other treatments, which means oregano oil may also kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
A 2015 study that compared the effectiveness of oregano and lavender oils found that oregano had higher antimicrobial properties, suggesting that it can fight bacteria such as E. coli.
3. Cinnamon oil
Cinnamaldehyde, the chemical that gives cinnamon its flavor, may inhibit the growth of E. coli. The oil and the spice may also help to prevent UTIs from recurring. In addition to using cinnamon oil, a person might consider adding powdered cinnamon to their diet.
4. Lavender oil
Research suggests that lavender can kill bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other sources of infections. It may also act as an antioxidant.
Research published in 2015, for example, found that lavender and oregano oils, separately and in combination, may inhibit the growth of, including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
5. Herbal oils
Authors of a 2013 study propose that some herbal oils are effective against E. coli and other bacteria. These include:
6. Eucalyptus oil
Eucalyptus oil may combat a wide range of bacteria. This makes it a good option when a person is unsure which type of bacteria is causing the infection.
A 2016 study identified compounds in eucalyptus oil that may explain its antibacterial properties. The researchers found that eucalyptus may kill or slow the growth of E. coli, S. aureus, Listeria innocua, and several other pathogens.
###L: merge with above!
7. Cumin oil
Cumin oil may help to fight E. coli and some other bacterial infections. Another study from 2016 compared the effects of cumin oil to those of chamomile and onion oils. Cumin oil killed the most bacteria.
Cumin oil became even more effective when used in combination with some antibiotics, suggesting that it may be a complementary treatment.
8. Coriander oil
The same study found that coriander oil was best able to kill a combination of S. aureus and E. coli. Coriander oil also fought bacteria resistant to multiple drugs. Like cumin oil, coriander oil was more effective when paired with antibiotics.

¶* 2021/05 : D scalp situation
Might be "scalp Eczema"? ↓↓↓
* Symptoms
"""
Scalp eczema causes patches of skin to become red, flaky, and itchy. It can also affect other oily areas of the body, such as the face, nose, eyebrows, and eyelids.
This form of eczema can also affect the ear canal. When it does, it may result in the discharge of fluid from the ear.
Scalp eczema can cause the skin to become greasy, waxy, or even blistered. These patches of skin can become infected and will release clear fluid.
The color of the skin can change in the affected area, even after it has healed.
"""
* Treatments
"""
Although scalp eczema cannot be cured, medical treatment can bring relief by removing the scaly buildup and reducing itchiness.
Treatments for scalp eczema usually come in the form of a shampoo or a cream or gel to apply to the scalp.
Shampoos that are most effective against scalp eczema include those that contain one or more of the following ingredients:
* Essential oils ↓
(basically look for oils with anti-inflammatory properties)
* Tea tree
* Geranium
* Lavender
___ more
* Frankincense
* Myrrh
* Helichrysum (heal broken blood vessels. Blend it with other essential oils)
* Grapeseed
* Roman Chamomile (exceptional anti-inflammatory properties and helps to soothe the skin while minimizing the development of dehydrated patches of skin)
* Rose
* Sandalwood
* Bergamot
* Juniper
* Tamanu
* Patchouli
* Neroli
* Thyme
* Hyssop
* Benzoin
* Carrier oils↓
* Olive oil
* Sunflower seed oil
* Coconut oil
"Some people claim that coconut oil has various benefits, whether you cook with it or apply it topically."
* Calendula oil
"Calendula oil comes from the calendula, or marigold, flower. Some small studiesTrusted Source have shown that calendula has anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the skin and can reduce swelling and pain. There isn’t any research on calendula oil specifically for eczema, so it’s not certain that it can ease your symptoms."
___ more
* Borage oil
"Some studies have investigated the use of borage oil for soothing eczema-prone skin. Borage oil contains a fatty acid that our bodies convert to a hormone-like substance with anti-inflammatory properties."
* Jojoba oil
"mimics the oil moisture that the skin naturally produces, which makes it a great option for those with really dry or cracked eczema"
* Apricot Kernel Oil
* Hemp Seed Oil
* Dietary supplements ↓
* vitamins A, D, B
* zinc

... ECZEMA CAN CAUSE DANDRUFF
"""
Once triggered, scalp eczema can be made worse by a combination of otherwise normal skin properties.
Naturally occurring oil called sebum, yeast that lives on the skin, and a skin fungus called Malassezia, all play a role.
Sebum is a waxy, fatty substance that is expelled by the sebaceous glands. Too much of this can cause greasy scales to develop on the scalp. This can then cause the overgrowth of an otherwise normal skin fungus called Malassezia.
Dandruff occurs when the Malassezia fungus irritates the sebaceous glands of the scalp. This triggers the body’s immune response and causes the distinctive scaly rash.
In short, dandruff is just one symptom of scalp eczema.

Treatments:
* bergamot (Citrus bergamia)
* garlic (Allium sativum L.)
* tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)
* thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.)
* Apple cider vinegar rinse
"""An acidic rinse is often used to properly balance the pH level of your hair and scalp back to healthy levels. A healthy scalp pH will fight off the overgrowth of yeast and reduce dandruff symptoms. With Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) at a pH of 3.1-5 it may be too acidic. It’s important to get the combination right. A 50/50 mix of water and ACV is usually the perfect ratio to restore the proper pH of your scalp."""

* this can get messy, so doing this over a sink is your best bet for an easy clean up.
* after your hair is completely covered in coconut oil, it should have the look of wet hair.
* the best step from here is to throw your hair up into a high bun to avoid the oil getting on your clothes and furniture.
