But you know, I came away from the Camden Market that day feeling about ten inches taller and twenty years younger! Right, give us the address!Anaru is back in New Zealand, (he may be coming back this summer) but there is a woman in London who also trained with Papa Joe (the famous Maori healer, who died last year) for seven years... I could dig out her e-mail address, if you want? -- AnneJ Yes Please JudithL |

Almond oil is a great carrier for other oils that are too strong to use by themselves i.e. lavender oil. Unless you are allergic to lavender oil, it can be used on your skin by itself. It is wise always to do a patch test though, before using it for the first time. Other essential oils can be harmful unless you know what you are doing. -- June Hughes |

writes Isn't it normal to isolate patients with MRSA? It didn't appear to be in one hospital where my daughter has worked, they didn't even inform all the staff that worked in the wards where there were patients with MRSA. A friend of mine had 50% burns almost three years ago and had MRSA for ages. She was told by the hospital staff that it can be water-borne. Many people apparently carry it without knowing about it. -- June Hughes |

"Anne Jackson" wrote in message ... The message from Martin contains these words: When I was down in London last July I happened upon two Maoris in Camden Market, who were doing massages. I waited almost the entire day, until they could fit me in. They were using olive oil as a massage oil, and after the hour-long massage my skin positively glowed for weeks....I still haven't managed to get it out of the clothes I was wearing that day, though! Perhaps next time you will not bother with the clothes, save all that washing! In your dreams? :-) More like 'the stuff of nightmares'... G I'll keep my eyes closed then! Alan |

Almond oil is a great carrier for other oils that are too strong to use by themselves i.e. lavender oil. I can remember a very small onion, like a cocktail onion, being boiled and the very small kernel in the centre being put into my ear for earache - I have never heard that from anyone else so I don't know if that was just Granny's solution or if others used it. I've heard that one - I think it's the warmth as much as anything. Re Lavender Oil for nits (which someone else mentioned) - is it that lavender is uniquely effective on head lice? Or is it that any oil would kill them (rather like you are reputed to be able kill ticks with cooking oil - it blocks their breathing holes). Or do you have to come the lice and nits out, but the oil acts in the same way as conditioner by making it less easy for the lice to cling on? -- Kay |

Like the original reason for lavender in the linen cupboard was to deter clothes moth and nothing to do with having sweetly scented pillows. -- Kay |
