Zone 1 morning essential oils – from 12:30 am to 12:00 noon – tend to have TOP NOTE vapor pressures – high volatility, high flash-off rates.
Top note essential oils tend to float up to the morning Zone 1 treetops, hitching a hydraulic ride up the sap as if their droplets were microscopic hydrogen dirigibles, and taking up residence as close to the Sun as possible.
Top notes are known as HEAD NOTES.
Top note essential oils often align and resonate with skin, hair, nails, teeth, brain, pineal gland, oral glands, and the adrenal medulla.

“It is interesting how most essential oils useful in respiratory ailments are those that are distilled from the bark, leaves, berries, and branches of certain trees.”
Indeed, morning is the optimum time to nourish the lungs, especially at Lung Time (3:00-5:00 am) and its 90-degree shunt, Spleen-Pancreas Time (9:00-11:00 am), aka Citrus Time.
Time-Conscious Aromatherapy and Time-Conscious Herbologywill both be on the curriculum at the Ojai School of Time-Conscious Living.
Here’s a Time-Conscious Eating tip …
One of the best midday Zone 2 – 11:30 am to 7:00 pm – sources of both vitamin D-2 and D-3 is … LETTUCE.
The more sunlight it’s exposed to, the more vitamin D-2 and D-3 you get. :)

What would one use as a citrus equivalent that grows in a place like Wisconsin? Cherries,Pears, and Plums? I generally try to eat from my local ecosystem.

Cherries and/or plums are acceptable substitutes.
Eating locally led to a pandemic of goiter in the Goiter Belt (Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, etc.) back in the days before salt was iodized.
An ideal protocol is 80 percent LOCAL and 20 percent INTERNATIONAL.
Swami Nitty-Gritty (Adano Ley) emphasized, “You can’t develop higher consciousness without almonds.”
This prompted a friend of mine to ask, “What do you do if almonds aren’t available?”
He added that he was raised in a country where almonds were unavailable.
Swami Nitty-Gritty replied, “My statement still stands.”
PS: Some of the time qualities of the local area remain in SHIPPED foods, making them slightly off-time.
Human beings are not evolved enough for this to be important yet, but perhaps one day the Noosphere – the emerging information matrix – will factor this time difference into nutritive planning.
The Masters of the Universe certainly do. :)
