I don't know what might be in another tea tree, or whether biodynamic
would help or not. Would that give it more or less of a hellacious
funk? My last client liked pine needle oil in the mix. I liked
frankincense oil. Neroli smelled lovely, but didn't do much
(limonenes not terpines).

I looked through a group of EO's consituents .. and started seeing
"terpines" in everything I'd ever heard of that was used to make henna
darker and went "hooooowaaaaaaa" ..... especially when I dumped
terpinol in a henna supplier's sample into the mix and was absolutely
stunned at the results. The EO's with high terpine contents are an
intriguing array!

I don't think the limonenes do much, and the camphors have a lot of
transdermal problems! Having looked at several Eucs that aren't
available around here but are from India, that changes everything on
that subject! The ones I've tried do absolutely nothing, but there
are others out there that smell different, look different, act
different. I'm stunned that they go by the same name. Menthols may
do something, but I haven't tried them. They're all oxidizing the
molecule so it changes from its natural red-orange to something very
dark .... similarly to air, sweat and ammonia , but faster. Other
non-polar solvents will do the job, but so many of them are toxic.
Mutagenic, if you get one of the exciting ones!

Where did you say I can get a good look at toxicities? I need to know
more about that!
