Jasmine Essential Oil

9/15/2017

1 Comment

 
I have returned from attending the doTERRA Convention in Salt Lake City last week. I learned a lot about the science behind and research of essential oils. There are many exciting things happening in the company and also many new oils were introduced. One of my favorites is Jasmine. Jasmine has very delicate petals and it takes 21,000 petals to produce a 5ml bottle of this amazingly great smelling oil. DoTERRA has made it affordable by putting it into a roller bottle called Jasmine Touch, meaning that it is combined with Fractionated Coconut Oil. It can be applied directly to pulse points for a calming, yet euphoric aroma that uplifts mood and promotes a positive outlook. I think this is what I like best about it. It is also renowned for its skin benefits, helping to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections and promotes a healthy-looking, glowing complexion. Regarded as the "King of Flowers", Jasmine is prized for its fragrant aroma, making the Jasmine Touch ideal to use as a personal fragrance throughout the day.
Picture
Favorite Uses:
Known for its warm and floral fragrance, Jasmine also provides a myriad of benefits both aromatically and topically. Here are some of our favorite uses:

  • Apply on your wrists and neck as a personal fragrance.  Jasmine’s aroma is intensely floral, warm, musky, and exotic—the perfect scent for a fun perfume. (Not to mention its scent is also uplifting!)

  • Jasmine is known to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections and promote healthy-looking, radiant skin. Because of its convenient application in a roll-on bottle and its combination with Fractionated Coconut Oil, you can apply Jasmine Touch directly on skin imperfections in the morning and night.  Not only will it help reduce the appearance of skin imperfections but it will also leave your skin with a beautiful glowing complexion.

  • Because Jasmine has such an uplifting scent, using Jasmine Touch on our pulse points is the perfect way to uplift mood. Emotionally, Jasmine promotes feelings of joy, peace, and self-confidence. Applying Jasmine in the morning will help provide a positive outlook on the day and leave you feeling uplifted and confident.
Fun Facts:
  • Jasmine is one of the most precious essential oils because extracting it is extremely labor-intensive.  The extraction process must be done at daybreak when the flowers are most fragrant and have the highest percentage of aromatic components intact.

  • Due to the large amount of flowers needed to produce a small amount of oil, Jasmine is highly sought after in both the perfume industry and in aromatherapy.
 If you would like to learn more about the new oils that are available for purchase on October 2, 2017, please come to the "Convention Reveal" class, where you will learn about and be able to experience the beauty of these new oils. It will be held in San Ramon on September 23rd from 2-3pm. Although this is a free class, you must register to attend. Email me at kristin.osowski@gmail.com.  Feel free to bring a guest. Once you are registered, the location of the event will be provided.

8 Ways to Use Lime Oil

8/3/2017

0 Comments

 
Lime oil is a vibrant citrus oil that has a clean, energizing aroma and can be used for cleaning, cooking, and for many various health issues. Once you use pure lime oil, it will soon become a major staple in your daily essential oil routine. 
Picture
​​Here are 8 Ways to use Lime Oil:
  1. For extra antioxidants and immune support - add a drop of lime to your morning smoothie.
  2. Diffuser blend (this blend will freshen the air and help you feel more relaxed) - Place 3 drops Lime, 3 drops Lavender and 2 drops Ylang Ylang in a diffuser. 
  3. To calm anxiety or to help you sleep - Rub 1 drop of lime on the spine or the back of the neck as needed. 
  4. If your digestive system is too slow - Rub 1 drop of Lime oil and 1 drop of DigestZen oil over the abdomen daily. 
  5. All-natural cleaning solution - Place 2 drops of lime oil on a cotton pad and use to remove sticky residue and grease spots. Or, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup organic vinegar and 10 drops lime oil in a glass spray bottle and use to clean the entire house. 
  6. For colds, coughs, sore throat and chest congestion - Place 1-2 drops to a bowl of steaming water and inhale it. You can also mix a few drops with fractionated coconut oil, then rub it on your neck and chest.
  7. To Relieve Joint Pain - Rub 1 drop of lime oil and 1 drop of Deep Blue over the area of concern.  
  8. To flavor your food or beverages - Add 1 drop of lime oil to guacamole, salsa or pico de Gallo, margaritas, fresh lemonade, salad dressings, or marinades. A bottle of lime oil is so helpful in the kitchen!

7 Uses of Grapefruit Oil

7/6/2017

0 Comments

 
The grapefruit was first documented in 1750 by Reverend Griffith Hughes. Tart and tangy with a little bit of sweetness, grapefruit was a cross between a pomelo and an orange. Grapefruits were given their name because of the way they grew in clusters, similar to grapes. ​Grapefruit oil has been used for centuries to help support a healthy inflammation response and a  healthy weight, as well as to combat sugar cravings. To make one 15ml bottle of grapefruit oil, the peel of 50 grapefruits is cold pressed. That is a lot of grapefruit! The oil is very concentrated and is the reason why just a few drops are so beneficial for your health. It can be used aromatically, topically, and internally. Grapefruit oil is one of my favorite oils. I add it to my water for a refreshing drink. It is so tasty that I end up drinking more water throughout the day. How awesome is that!
Picture
1. Food Cravings
Grapefruit oil is known to lower sugar cravings and help kick sugar addiction when inhaled. Rub it onto the wrists, neck or chest or place a few drops in the palms of your hands, cup the hands over the nose and mouth, and inhale it to stave off cravings. You can also put 3 drops of grapefruit oil in a diffuser to help reduce sugar cravings.
2. Healthy Weight Management
Not only will grapefruit oil reduce sugar cravings, but it also supports healthy metabolism and may reduce appetite. Add 2 drops to water or massage the oil onto the chest and wrists when a craving strikes.
3. Lymphatic Health
Grapefruit oil is an excellent natural diuretic and lymphatic stimulant. It can help eliminate toxins and excess salt from the body. Add 2 drops to water and take internally or apply it topically over the kidneys.
4. Reduce appearance of cellulite
As mentioned above, grapefruit oil is a lymphatic stimulant. Since cellulite is stagnant lymphatic tissue, it can help reduce cellulite. Combine 2 drops with Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) and rub directly over the areas of cellulite.
Picture
5. Digestive Health and Detoxification
By increasing blood to the digestive organs, grapefruit oil helps with detoxification and has a positive effect on digestion. Mix 2 drops of grapefruit oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) and massage over the abdomen.
6. Adrenal Support
Apply 1 drop of Grapefruit and 1 drop of Basil with FCO and rub over the adrenals or on the soles of your feet to support the adrenals.
7. Air Freshener
To get rid of unpleasant odors, diffuse grapefruit oil with other citrus oils like lemon and lime oils to freshen the air...and reduce stress.

7 Ways to Use Oregano Oil

6/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Oregano essential oil is an incredible natural alternative that is worth trying before resorting to something that has potential side effects. You will probably be surprised at just how much 1 drop of this oil can do! It has powerful anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

* Note: Because it is so powerful, Oregano oil should not be used for more than 2 weeks at a time and should ALWAYS be diluted. Dilute 1:3 (1 drop essential oil to 3 drops carrier oil) when used topically. Can also be diffused. When taken internally be sure to put it in a veggie cap and add a carrier oil too, then swallow with a glass of water. Do not give to children under 6 years old, and dilute heavily in children over 6.
7 Ways to Use Oregano Oil:
  1. Take 1-2 drops, combined with fractionated coconut oil, in a veggie capsule to support combating viruses. 
  2. Gargle 1 drop diluted in water as needed to support strep throat or tonsilitis. 
  3. Like to travel outside the country? Bring any unwelcome visitors home? :) Dilute 1-2 drops in a veggie capsule and take internally to help with intestinal worms or parasites. 
  4. Apply 1 drop Oregano diluted and 2 drops Frankincense to warts...morning and night. 
  5. Not feeling well? Combine 1 drop diluted with fractionated coconut oil to bottoms of the feet daily to boost immunity. 
  6. Take 1 drop Oregano and 1 drop Lemongrass internally in a veggie capsule to support a urinary tract infection. You could also combine these with 2 cups of Epsom salts in a warm bath and soak for 15 minutes. 
  7. Dilute 1-2 drops with fractionated coconut oil and combine with 1-2 drops of Melaleuca and massage into feet to combat Athlete's foot or toenail fungus.
