The Essentials on Essential Oils By now, you’ve likely heard about essential oils, but

may not be familiar with their benefits and risks. Essential oils are highly concentrated oils derived from plants. While used for centuries, their popularity has soared, especially among individuals looking for natural healing options.

A term you may be more familiar with is aromatherapy, which is one way people use essential oils. While research is limited about the effectiveness of aromatherapy, some studies have shown the practice may have health benefits such as relieving anxiety or depression or improving health and wellness, particularly for those who suffer from chronic illness. Many oils are safe when used as directed, but none are regulated by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. Because they are not regulated by the FDA, companies do not have to test for quality and purity, but some voluntary do.

The oil you choose to use depends on the ailment you hope to address. No medically endorsed list exists that specifies which oil is best for treating particular a health condition. The chemistry of oils will vary among different locations, climates, seasons, time of day when harvested, packaging methods, storage method and even among plants. This is in vast contrast to pharmaceuticals that are synthetically reproduced to be the same each time.

You can apply oils in a variety of ways but you would most commonly dilute them with a carrier oil and apply directly on the skin or inhale them. The application method depends on the part of the body you’re trying to support and the type of oil you are using. For example, you would most likely dilute and apply an essential oil topically if you were using it on a wound. It’s most common to inhale oils you are using to enhance your mood for quick results. Some oils can cause skin irritation and you should not apply them directly to the skin. Many oils need to be diluted with a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut oil before you apply them to your skin. Others may produce an allergic reaction in some individuals or cause sun sensitivity. If you have questions about an application method, you should consult an aromatherapist.

You should not ingest oils or apply them to mucous membranes such as the inside of your nose or the inside of your mouth. Essential oils should not be used on children under 2 years or who weigh less than 44 pounds. Pregnant women should not use essential oils, and some oils are discouraged among breastfeeding women. If you have asthma or other breathing issues, you should avoid inhaling oils.

UK HealthCare has approved four essential oils for use in aromatherapy when administered by trained professionals within their clinical setting. These oils are ginger, lavender, peppermint and sweet orange. Before starting any treatment, research the oil and consult qualified health care professionals. Information on other health-related topics is available at the Fayette County office of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service.

Family and Consumer Sciences Specialty Club Meetings

Specialty Clubs focus on learning, developing and preserving a specific skill, interest or activity. There is a deliberate focus on sharing members’ skills with others to strengthen the community. Participants do not have to be an expert - as the objective is to learn. During the monthly meetings, members work on personal projects, participate in group projects and learn new techniques and methods from fellow members.

Monday, May 20th: Richard Taylor, Elkhorn: The Evolution

of a Kentucky Landscape. Driven by topophilia (love of place),

Taylor focuses on the eight-mile stretch of the creek from

the Forks of the Elkhorn to Knight’s Bridge to provide a

glimpse into the economic, social, and cultural

transformation of Kentucky from wilderness to its current

landscape. He explores both the natural history of the

region and the formation of the Forks community. Taylor

recounts the Elkhorn Valley’s inhabitants from the earliest

surveyors and settlers to artist Paul Sawyier, who

memorably documented the creek in

watercolors, oils, and pastels.

Interspersed with photographs and

illustrations—contemporary and

historic—and intermixed with short

vignettes about historical figures of the

region, Elkhorn: Evolution of a Kentucky

Landscape delivers a history that is by

turns a vibrant and meditative personal

response to the creek and its many

wonders.

PLEASE NOTE: Heat guns are used in this class, not blow dryers. Heat guns get hot enough to cause serious burns if handled carelessly. Therefore, this class is for adults only. Monthly Table Runner-June ~ Monday, June 3rd, 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.: Table runners are an excellent opportunity to learn a new block or pattern, try it to see if it meets your expectations and complete a project without the commitment of a whole quilt. Throughout the year we will explore some traditional blocks, do some appliqué work, dabble in foundation piecing, and explore the principles and tasks of setting blocks on point, all while keeping the runners seasonal. These classes will focus on learning or reinforcing basic and more advanced quilting skills. If you choose to use your own fabrics, if you choose not to buy the kit each month, your fabric MUST be cut before class. Photos of the sample are at the back of this class list.
