Don't Detox Like I Did!!

I was just thinking back to my early oils days. I truly didn't understand how powerful essential oils were and threw my body into a cleanse. A cleanse is when your body is dumping more toxins into your system than it can handle. Since the skin is your largest organ, the most common cleansing reaction is to break out in a red, speckled rash. It can be just a rash, can itch or burn, or both. I broke out all over and was miserable. What did I do?

Just finished a kick-butt workout...

...okay, I'm S-W-E-A-T-Y and S-P-E-N-T after 3 rounds of 20 minutes/ea HIIT and READY FOR MY BATH!! Before I hop in for a lovely soak, I am going to oil up the chassis with Aroma Seiz, along with a bit of Spruce for my knees -

Essential Oils Info Photo Art

I am in the process of making informative picture art on essential oils. It takes time so they aren't going to be coming out lickety-split, but I do hope to keep a steady stream of uploads going. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

A Feelings Kit Story

So many of our physical issues have emotional roots. I remember, about 15 years ago, my then 13 year old son came to me with a really bad headache. I happened to be on the phone with my energy work practitioner at the time and she said, "Have him get the Feelings Kit." As he went to get the box, my practitioner was checking which of the oils he needed. We ended up not needing to use any oils at all!! My son came back holding the box and said, "I picked up the box and my headache went away." THAT'S the power of truly therapeutic grade essential oils!!

Di-Gize

Di-Gize may taste a bit like dirt but I have found it to be an invaluable essential oil for myself. I have had gluten intolerance for a couple years now and even eating too many carbs can give me a stomachache.

Black Pepper

Last year my older brother and I went on a camping trip. It was around an 8 hour trip so we had to get up pretty early to arrive during check-in time. Even though we took turns driving we still didn't feel entirely awake. So my brother popped out his Black Pepper oil and just a sniff on the lid cleared my head, made me more alert, and got rid of all yawns.

Emotions and Essential Oils by Daniel Macdonald

I bought this e-book yesterday because I wanted a reference guide specifically geared towards oils and emotions. The oil blends mentioned aren't Young Living but I figure one can correlate what the closest match would be and go from there. (That's what I'm going to do.) It's very direct and simple in what oil stands for what emotion.

Copaiba

I haven't gotten Copaiba oil yet but I do use the Copaiba Vanilla  Shampoo and Conditioner. It leaves my hair feeling nice and smelling great. ^^ Copaiba comes from South America where the local people have used it for medicinal purposes as far back as the 16th century.

Lavender

I remember when I was a kid and smelled lavender for the first time. I was anticipating it because I'd read and heard how fragrant and lovely it was. Of course, I was expecting to smell something delightful like it had been described to me in my favorite stories. Instead, the first thought that came across my mind was how awful it actually smelled. It was a big let down and I couldn't understand how anyone could say that that smelled good.
