Healthy Hair

5/30/2017

​Have any of you been trying to reduce the toxic load in your home with regards to cleaning and personal care products? I have been very successful at making a lot of cleaning products using essential oils. I love the spray that I use to clean my countertops, which is a combination of water, white vinegar, and wild orange essential oil. I have also attempted to make some homemade hair products. It was fun trying to make a hair conditioner using avocados, but it left my hair feeling unclean and without any bounce to it. I recently tried doTERRA’s shampoo, conditioner and root to tip serum…and they are awesome! They are unlike any other hair products that I have used from other companies. The other “all natural shampoos” that I have tried did not lather and my hair felt dirty and oily after washing. Since using doTERRA’s shampoo (and conditioner), my hair feels so clean (as it should after shampooing, right?) and has been shinier and softer than ever. It has been growing much faster too. I love these products!! I came across the following graphic from www.honeycombmama.com and am eager to try some of these oils with my shampoo and conditioner. I would love to know how they work for you.

Battling Tick Bites

5/11/2017

Tick season is pretty bad this year, but thankfully we have essential oils to help us and our pets. Use the following blend to repel ticks. This is safe for humans and dogs. If the Lemongrass and Eucalyptus blend does not seem to be powerful enough, then you could add 20 drops of Terrashield to it.

If you have a tick embedded in your skin, take a look at how fast peppermint oil works to get the tick to remove its head. The little buggers do not like peppermint oil!
According to a new report, tick-borne diseases are on the rise across much of the country. With that being said, it’s important to remain cautious. Watch this video on the power of essential oils.

10 Ways to Use Clove Oil

5/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Did you know that Clove is a powerhouse of an oil and has so many practical uses? I rub 1-2 drops on the bottoms of my feet every morning and every evening to help boost my antioxidant levels.
 
Here is a list of 10 ways to use Clove:
​1.      To Boost the Immune System - Clove has 30x more anti-oxidants than blueberries! It’s a great oil to add to your daily routine to keep the immune system strong. 
2.      For Toothaches - If you have any dental work done or have a toothache, use a drop of Clove Oil mixed with some Fractionated Coconut Oil and apply directly to the area of concern in the mouth...it works wonders! It will also temporarily numb the area. 
3.      To Soothe a Sore Throat - Rub 1 drop of Melaleuca, Ginger, and OnGuard (which contains Clove) on the throat. You can also place the drops on your tongue and drink a glass of water. Please Note...it’s a little spicy, so this isn’t something for the kids. 
4.      To Help Improve Cardiovascular Health - Rub 1 drop Clove oil diluted with Fractionated Coconut Oil over the heart each day.
5.      As an Insect Repellent – Diffuse 3 drops of Clove oil along with Lemongrass Essential Oil to help ward insects away. 
6.      Reduce Excess Gas - Rub 1 drop of Clove combined with a bit of Fractionated Coconut Oil on the abdomen. 
7.      To Help Decongest the Sinuses - Diffuse 2 drops of Clove to aid in relieving mucous and loosen phlegm. You may also add 2 drops Clove with Fractionated Coconut Oil and rub onto your chest, back, and throat.
8.      To Help Balance Blood Sugar Levels - Rub 1-2 drops combined with Fractionated Coconut Oil on the feet twice a day. 
9.      To Disinfect the Home - Add 10 drops of Clove to 8 ounces of water and 4 ounces of organic vinegar for an all-natural antimicrobial disinfectant to clean the kitchen and bathrooms. 
10.    Stress Relief - Diffuse 4 drops of Clove, 2 drops of Lemon and 2 drops of Frankincense.

5 Oils for a Great NIght's Sleep

5/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Are you someone that cannot fall asleep easily? Or are you more like me...you fall asleep quickly, then at about 2am you wake up and cannot get back to sleep. How frustrating is that? This is not a minor issue. Lack of sleep is a huge problem for many people. Sleep is critical to cellular regeneration. You heal when you sleep. If you don't sleep well, you won't heal well. Therapeutic oils can help you get a more restful night's sleep. Here are 5 oils for a great night's sleep:
Picture
​1. Lavender - Rub 1-2 drops on the bottoms of your feet to help calm the body before going to sleep. This oil is also wonderful to diffuse in your bedroom while you're sleeping. For kids, you can put a little of the oil on their favorite blanket or stuffed animal to help them calm down before bedtime.
 
2. Cedarwood - Rub 1-2 drops on the bottoms of the feet before bedtime for a solid night's sleep. Cedarwood has a calming and soothing effect on the mind.
 
3. Vetiver - This is a fantastic "shut-down-the-brain" oil. It can be diffused near your bed, or you can apply a drop or two to your feet or the back of your neck.
 
4. Ylang Ylang - To calm the body in the evening, apply a drop or two of Ylang Ylang to your neck or feet. It has a wonderful garden-like aroma, so it's a nice oil to diffuse while sleeping.
 
5. Serenity - The essential oils in this must-have blend were meticulously chosen to lessen feelings of tension, calm emotions, and leave a peaceful feeling. Serenity is the perfect blend to diffuse at bedtime for a restful night’s sleep, to calm a restless baby or child, or to help reduce the worry and stress so many of us feel.
