Holly Herb - Medicinal Information *Bianca Rosa Holly oil is not to be taken internally.
This is contested as a medicinal plant. Holly leaves, recommended as sudorific and antiarthritic, doubtless because of their bitterness, only acquired some therapeutic importance towards the end of the eighteenh century. Several practitioners have said, according to the facts gathered, that by giving 4 grams of Holly leaves dried and pulverized before the peak of intermittent fevers, they were more thoroughly removed than with quinine.
In 1830, one doctor wanted to find out for himself what the febrifuge virtues of Holly were, so he chose twenty-two patients suffering from intermittent fever. Before giving them powdered Holly, he wanted to see what would be the effect of mere suggestion in these twenty-two patients. Nineteen had spontaneous cures using an emollient or slightly antiphlogistic treatment. Of the three others, one had a quartan fever and two with a daily fever had taken Holly without effect in a dose of 30 and even 90 grams, but they were readily cured with quinine.
If, in imitation of other experimenters, that doctor had given powdered Holly to these twenty-two patients, he could have concluded that there had been nineteen successes, when in fact, nature had been the only healer. Nonetheless, some practitioners have tried to maintain Holly's reputation which has been partly dented.

Directions
Bianca Rosa® natural carrier oils provide the perfect medium in which to dilute potent essential oils and "carry" them onto the skin and into the body. These deep-nourishing oils provide even distribution and absorption with light and non-sticky lubrication. Depending on the potency of the essential oil being diluted, generally, adding 1-3 drops of essential oil to every 5 mL (1 tsp.) of carrier oil is sufficient for most massage or skin care needs. Massage gently into the skin with a circular motion. Apply as needed or as directed.
