Safer Scents

4/24/2017

0 Comments

 
Do you love to walk into a room where the air smells like spring flowers? Many people use room sprays, air fresheners, fragrance plug-ins, candles, and incense to create different aromas throughout the house. The indoor air may smell nice, but research has revealed that these increase the toxic load in your home. A safer way to scent your space is to use a few drops of an essential oil in a diffuser. There are many scents to choose from depending on your mood.
Citrus for energy
Lemon, lime and mandarin not only smell heavenly, but may also strengthen the immune system.  One of my favorite diffuser blends is the combination of the citrus wild orange along with peppermint. Talk about energizing! I diffuse this in my office and I am productive all day long.

Rosemary for focus
Research shows that people perform better on memory tests when they are in a room scented with rosemary.

Lavender for relaxation
Inhaling the scent of lavender can help slow down the nervous system and prep you for slumber. If Lavender is not enough to make you sleep soundly, try the Serenity blend. This blend is known as the Restful Blend. It contains Lavender, Cedarwood, Ylang Ylang, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Vetiver and Vanilla. I apply it to the soles of my feet every night for a restful sleep.

10 Ways to Use Lemon to Clean Your Home

4/17/2017

0 Comments

 
​We know that lemon essential oil has great healing properties - it is used for allergies and congestion because it helps break down mucus and if inhaled or diffused, it instantly boosts your mood and energy.  I can't think of an essential oil with more uses than lemon. It's good in food, good for fighting allergies, good for cleaning…good for everything! It's one of my favorite springtime oils. Here are 10 ways you can use Lemon to clean your home.
​1. Microwave—Microwaves are notorious for being tough to clean, especially after mishaps involving spaghetti sauce or tomato soup. To ease the pain of cleaning, simply microwave a cup filled with water and a few drops of Lemon, then wipe clean!
 
2. Dishwasher—Pour distilled vinegar into a dish and add 5–10 drops of Lemon oil. Place this dish in your empty dishwasher and run on high.
 
3. Stove Top—Lemon oil makes cleaning one of the dirtiest areas of the kitchen easy. Add vinegar and Lemon to a spray bottle, and watch the grime disappear!
 
4. Appliances—From dust to greasy food spills, appliances collect more dirt than you might think. A simple solution of Lemon oil, water, and vinegar will help you clean toasters, refrigerators, mixers, and more.
 
​5. Garbage disposal—If you’ve been smelling something funky coming from your sink, it might be time to clean the garbage disposal. This DIY for Lemon disposal refreshers should help! 
 
6. Ceiling Fan—Fan blades collect dust at turbo speeds and cling to them for as long as you let them. To avoid choking on dust bunnies while cleaning your ceiling fans, spray the inside of an old pillow case with a Lemon/water mixture and loop the fabric around each blade.

7. Washing Machine—Run a mixture of Lemon oil, baking soda, vinegar, and water through your empty machine on the hottest setting to break up dirt build-up and mildew. Scrub any excess with a sponge, then run the machine again with fresh water.
 
8. Trash Cans—Regularly cleaning out trash cans can eliminate odor. For indoor trash cans, spray the inside and outside of each can with a mixture of water, Lemon oil, and vinegar, then scrub with a sponge.
​9. Windows and Windowsills—The same mixture of Lemon oil, water, and vinegar in a spray bottle that you’ve been using all around the house will do wonders for your windows and windowsills. Simply spray glass and wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel, then move onto ledges and sills with a toothbrush or damp sponge.
 
10. Air Vents—One of the most overlooked areas to keep clean in your home is the air you breathe! Clean vents with a sponge dipped in warm water, vinegar and Lemon oil to help eliminate allergens and dust from filling the air around you.

Frankincense & Myrrh for Healthy Cell Support

4/6/2017

1 Comment

 
​Frankincense is renowned as one of the most prized and precious essential oils. Frankincense has extraordinary health benefits. In addition to its notoriety in the New Testament, the Babylonians and Assyrians would burn Frankincense in religious ceremonies and the ancient Egyptians used Frankincense resin for everything from perfume to salves for soothing skin. This centuries-old knowledge contributes to the modern uses of Frankincense today. It is soothing and beautifying properties are used to rejuvenate skin and help reduce the appearance of imperfections. It is also used to help improve circulation and lower symptoms of joint or muscle pain. As the king of oils, Frankincense is known to support healthy cellular function. This is why I love Frankincense oil. I use it twice a day: in the morning, I rub it on the area of concern and before bedtime, I rub it on the soles of my feet. You can also diffuse it in your home. When inhaled or diffused, Frankincense promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall wellness. Some people believe the fragrance can increase your intuition and spiritual connection.

​Myrrh oil is another healing and nurturing oil. I use this oil in combination with Frankincense. Ancient records show that Myrrh was deemed so valuable that at times it was valued at its weight in gold. Myrrh essential oil is derived from the gummy resin of the small, thorny Myrrh tree and has been used for centuries for its internal and external health benefits. Myrrh has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense, and health aid. It was also employed in embalming and religious ceremonies. Myrrh has powerful cleansing properties, especially for the mouth and throat. It is also soothing to the skin—promoting a smooth, youthful-looking complexion—and promotes emotional balance and well-being.
Check out this video with Dr. Josh Axe discussing the benefits of Frankincense & Myrrh:
