Like a candle carrying the light of dignity, Fragonia is fertiliser for the spirit, taking you beyond lingering hurts and emotional enmeshments stemming from any unresolved family issues. 
     When your life force has wilted and you are feeling fragile, frail, debilitated and separate, Fragonia will move you away from your fragility and lovingly demand that you call on your self-respect and dignity when dealing with memories of the far, far past. 
     Patterns of repetition in your consciousness can keep you trapped within the limitations of your personal history.  What was in the past can uncannily show up again in the present.  These patterns take the form of grooves in your emotional grid and denote patterns of energy layered with emotional scarring.  Fragonia gently helps to remove those scars from the emotional framework, alleviating toxic residue and mental static. 
     As we become personally accountable for the accumulative effects of our emotions, thoughts and attitudes, purufication practices are required to burn off layers of buried negative impressions, repressions and suppressions that come forth as old blockages are released. 
     At the top of the spine, at the base of the skull, there is an emotional release point which acts a filter for the nervous system and spine.  By applying Fragonia tho this reflex point the nervous system will relax, allowing feelings, emotions and thoughts to be processed differenty.  Brisk friction massage alongside the spine with Fragonia is also an important aspect of this release, strengthening the power of the neural pathways.
     On a molecular level, Dr. Daniel Pénoël, well known French doctor and aromatic medicine practitioner, has described Fragonia as the Golden Triangle.  The ratio of its' functional groups and the proportions between the molecules are arranged according to the golden proportion which is reproduced at several levels, like a fractal.  "The golden proportion and the fractal structure is absolutely unique!" says Dr. Penoel. 
     Preliminary testing shows that Fragonia has anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving and expectorant properties.  Dr. Pénoël suggests a couple of drops of Fragonia applied daily to the groin area, under the armpits, and on the side of the neck, where the lymphatic nodes are siturate, to enhance one's immune system.  Fragonia is non-toxic and non-irritating and can safely be used with infants and children.
     Dr. Pénoël suggested at a seminar that  everyone dab some on each chakra point before going to sleep at night. 
Dr. Penoel describes many cases of those who have been able to unblock their emotions, open their heart and allow peace to enter with the help of Fragonia.
     It can be uses 'neat' or diluted in a carrier oil.

Kunzea  (Kunzea ambigua - Tick Bush)
Developed by a Tasmania farmer, John Hood, who noticed that the steel wire fence that had this strange plant growing near it was not rusting, and decided to find out why. After years of investigation, trials, etc, the result is this amazing essential oil, with unique properties.

  The National Filipino Flower is an Arabian from India!  - Sampaquita
      Ask any Filipino what their national flower is and chances are he’ll know it’s the Sampaguita. Ask him to tell you something about it and he’ll probably say it’s fragrant, small and white. Can he think of anything interesting about it? Hmm ... well, we do have a female rock singer named after it!
     The truth is, not many of the Filipinos give this heavenly-scented blossom much thought. Yet they see it practically every day sold practically everywhere by street children. They are strung into fragrant garlands – often given as offerings on many altars, as tokens of welcome to visitors to our country, are omnipresent in our countless processions, and are often seen dangling from rear view mirrors serving as natural car fresheners. But it is a wonder that despite the fact that it’s all over the place, nobody can really say much about it!
A Sampaguita is a Sampaguita is a Sampaguita
     For one thing, do you know how the rest of the world calls it? Its common English name is Arabian Jasmine, while its botanical name is Jasminum sambac. Sambac is how the Western world often refers to it for short. In our country, it also goes by several aliases ranging from sampagung and kampupot, to kulatai, ponso, lumabi and malur.
     The Filipino national flower is called Arabian Jasmine, hails from India, has a Japanese game named after it, and that it was declared their symbol by an American, the sampaguita suddenly sounds a lot more colorful than its unassuming white petals, doesn’t it?
     But the surprises aren’t over yet. The sampaguita is actually considered an herb. It is said that the roots were once used to treat wounds and snake bites. The young leaves and flowers were also used to make a putty which was mixed and eaten with rice to dry scabies and other skin eruptions. The Chinese are also said to use it to flavor food, tea and wine. To this day, Arabian Jasmine is used extensively in fragrances in cosmetics.
    One final thing about the sampaguita: each flower actually lasts for less than a day on the plant, lasting anywhere from just 12 to 20 hours, usually reaching its peak a few hours before midnight, but each plant flowers profusely the whole year through.

Top Ten immune fighting foods.

Tea/Green Tea Studies show that green tea — infused with the antioxidant EGCG — reduces the risk of most types of cancer. "The phytonutrients in tea also support the growth of intestinal bacteria," says Bowerman. "Specifically, they inhibit the growth of bad bacteria — E. coli, Clostridium, Salmonella — and leave the beneficial bacteria untouched." Why is this important? "Because up to 70 percent of your immune system is located in your digestive tract," says Bowerman. "Four cups a day will keep it functioning at its peak."   Chili Peppers "Chilis stimulate the metabolism, act as a natural blood thinner, and help release endorphins," says Petersen. Plus, they're a great way to add flavor to food without increasing fat or calorie content. Chilis are also rich in beta-carotene, which turns into vitamin A in the blood and fights infections, as well as capsaicin, which inhibits neuropeptides (chemicals that cause inflammation). A recent study in the journal Cancer Research found that hot peppers even have anti-prostate-cancer properties. All this from half a chili pepper (or one tablespoon of chili flakes) every day   Ginger Contrary to popular belief, ginger — a piquant addition to so many Asian dishes — isn't a root, it's a stem, which means it contains living compounds that improve your health. Chief among them is gingerol, a cancer suppressor that studies have shown to be particularly effective against that of the colon. Chop ginger or grind it fresh and add it to soy-marinated fish or chicken as often as you can. The more you can handle, the better.   Blueberries "This potent little fruit can help prevent a range of diseases from cancer to heart disease," says Ryan Andrews, the director of research at Precision Nutrition, in Toronto, Canada. One serving (3.5 ounces) contains more antioxidants than any other fruit. Drizzle with lemon juice and mix with strawberries for a disease-fighting supersnack.   Cinnamon Known for making desserts sweet and Indian food complex, cinnamon is rich in antioxidants that inhibit blood clotting and bacterial growth (including the bad-breath variety). "Studies also suggest that it may help stabilize blood sugar, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes," says dietitian Nancy Clark, author of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook. "What's more, it may help reduce bad cholesterol. Try half a teaspoon a day in yogurt or oatmeal."   Sweet Potatoes Often confused with yams, this tuber is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. In addition to countering the effects of secondhand smoke and preventing diabetes, sweet potatoes contain glutathione, an antioxidant that can enhance nutrient metabolism and immune-system health, as well as protect against Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, HIV, cancer, heart attack, and stroke. "One sweet potato a day is a great alternative to the traditional variety," says Clark.   Tomatoes "I think of tomatoes as the 'fighting herpes helper' for the divorcé crowd," says Petersen. Their lycopene content can also help protect against degenerative diseases. "Cooked tomatoes and tomato paste work best," he says. Shoot for half a tomato, or 12 to 20 ounces of tomato juice, a day.   Figs Packed with potassium, manganese, and antioxidants, this fruit also helps support proper pH levels in the body, making it more difficult for pathogens to invade, says Petersen. Plus, the fiber in figs can lower insulin and blood-sugar levels, reducing the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Select figs with dark skins (they contain more nutrients) and eat them alone or add them to trail mix. Newman's Own fig newtons are also a quick and easy way to boost the immune system. Aim for four figs per week.   Mushrooms (reiki, shiitake, maitake) Delicious when added to brown rice or quinoa, these mushrooms are rich in the antioxidant ergothioneine, which protects cells from abnormal growth and replication. "In short, they reduce the risk of cancer," says Bowerman, who recommends half a cup once or twice a week. "Cooking them in red wine, which contains the antioxidant resveratrol, magnifies their immunity-boosting power."   Pomegranates The juice from the biblical fruit of many seeds can reduce your risk of most cancers, thanks to polyphenols called ellagitannins, which give the fruit its color. In fact, a recent study at UCLA found that pomegranate juice slows the growth of prostate cancer cells by a factor of six. "Drink a cup a day," says Bowerman.
