Oil of the Month Club

Great News! goDesana -- a Green Organics Company -- has an Oil of the Month Club

What a simple way to build up your Still Room essential oil collection.

Women as healers and care-givers for their families and communities pre-date written history.

From time immemorial, women were expected to give birth, nurture, heal, protect, provide for and spend their days steeped in the tradition of the wise women before them, caring for themselves and their families - and quite often, the entire community.

The skills a woman brought to her marriage could very well determine whether or not that family would live in comfort, have enough to eat, stay well and prosper.

The things we have come to accept as the comforts and necessities of life were placed entirely in the realm of womanly arts.

What is the Stillroom and what is the Stillroom Recipe Book

The Stillroom Recipe book was passed down from mother to daughter and training in the stillroom arts had direct relation to the value a young girl could bring to a marriage.

The word "recipe" originally referred to a medicinal formula, and a recipe book for the Stillroom may contain everything from medicinal recipes to cough syrups, cosmetics, liniments, perfumes, pomanders, food preservation, jams and jellies, wool dyeing, candle making and soap making much like some of the favorite recipes passed down from our ancestors are today. Grandma's famous pie crust or turkey gravy recipe becoming a family legacy passed to the next generation.

Everything that sustained and added quality of life to the family might be found in the Stillroom Recipe book. Family recipes were closely guarded treasures.

Today, with the increasing interest in Aromatherapy, Essential Oils and other natural forms of health care, the arts of the Stillroom are again gaining recognition and are truly the birthright of every woman.

Whenever you make a simple herbal recipe, scent a homemade candle, enjoy a potpourri from your own herb garden, make an herbal vinegar or preserve food, you are participating in the preservation of the tradition of the woman's arts and the legacy from the long-forgotten Stillroom.

When the stresses of our fast-paced lives makes us long for the simpler times, take out your Stillroom recipe book, select a favorite recipe and step back in time.

Join the many women who have gone before you, feeling the connection with these women who have preserved the traditions, celebrations, and warm family memories we enjoy today.
