Peppermint

Hi Everyone,

Ever have a headache that won't quit? Unfortunately we all have, at one time or another. Hence, I want to share information on peppermint oil with you that will really be helpful.

Among its uses, peppermint essential oil when rubbed on your temples will relief if not get rid of a headache almost on contact. I know it sounds like magic,but I assure you that it is not. Essential oils are absorbed through your skin and cross the brain blood barrier very quickly.

Another use of peppermint oil is for your sinuses. Stuffy sinuses easily unclog and breathing returns to normal in a very short time.

Peppermint also works wonders on upset stomachs. One or two drops in a bit of water or with some agave or honey is a soother.

A note of interest; it takes 28 cups of peppermint tea to equal 1 drop of YoungLiving Peppermint Essential Oil.

Aromatherapy and Essential Oils

Hi Everyone,
    Sorry for the delay I was away on an unexpected trip.

     I would like to discuss Aromatherapy and Essential Oils. Aromatherapy literally means to to treat with aroma through inhalation.

     If you would like to be proactive about your health and wellness and particularly the state of your emotions, then diffusing Essential Oils is the most practical and effective way to enjoy their benefits.

    Lavender is a very versatile oil, however, most of us are exposed to only perfume quality Lavender oil. Though it may smell fantastic it will have very little therapeutic value. YoungLivings' Lavender Oil is pure and you will easily reap the benefits.

     Lavender is great for burns so it is wise to keep some in the kitchen. It is also wonderful as a tonic for your skin and can easily be added to bath water leaving you fresh and relaxed. Lavenders' uses are very varied and can be referenced in the Essential Oil Desk Reference, a book you should have.

     Lemon Oil is also very versatile in its uses. You can add it to water and drink it, providing good digestion and a good source of Limonene which has been shown to have anti -cancer properties. Lemon Oil works great on pimples,blemishes and acne. It dries up the site and restores area to health. Another great use is on callouses and corns, it reduces them substantially if not getting rid of them completely.

     I hope this is helpful and I will add on to the list of wonderful oils very soon.
