Cure For Eczema

Katy gave me a simple recipe to help with the discomfort of eczema.

She adds the drops of oil directly into a bottle of fractionated coconut oil.

When her little boys get out of the bath she shakes up the bottle

 and liberally applies the blended mixture to their freshly cleaned bodies.

Add to 115 ml coconut oil:

3 drops Helichrysum

3 drops Roman Chamomile

10 drops Lavender

5 drops Orange or Grapefruit 

If you need me to hook you up with these ingredients let me know.

I most likely have them on hand.

I Love Essential Oils!!!

Simple Use of Orange Oil

For dinner Monday I made French Dip sandwiches for my family. The dishes were cleaned up after this yummy meal, but in my laziness I left the pan the roast had been cooked in on the top of the stove to cool. Since then that pan has been successfully ignored. Today, again I was tempted to ignore that pan as I cleaned up the kitchen. "At least put it in the sink to soak.", I encouraged my self. I set the pan in the now clean sink and debated whether to fill the sink with hot water. On a whim I picked up a tiny spray bottle I had previously filled with a mixture of water and Orange oil and sprayed it on the gross dried guck. Immediately the dried meat grease started dripping down the inside of the pan. The Orange Oil was breaking down the gross stuff! I still ignored the greasy pan and finished wiping down the counter tops. That's all the time it took, in less than two minutes all I had to do with my dirty pan was give it a quick swipe with detergent, and rinse. I LOVE Orange Oil!

Orange Essential Oil

I will honestly admit that citrus sinensis (orange) is not one of my top three essential oils. That would be Helichrysum, Lavender, Grapefruit, and Geranium. Oh wait! I listed four. Obviously it is difficult for me to limit myself when it comes to owning essential oils. I am happy to say that ORANGE SWEET is on oil I try to keep stocked with. When I spent two weeks cleaning our condo before we moved in- orange essential oil was used everywhere. I love FRESH and clean, so even though this place appeared clean I went over every inch with a splash of spic-n-span and a few teaspoons of orange oil in every bucket of hot water used to touch every wall, cupboard, tile, and floor. Ooooo, I sure love knowing there is NO dirt, grime, or bug breading places in any of the corners in my home! When we started moving our furniture and boxes in I felt relaxed (orange does that to a person), and confident that any future cleaning would be removing my dirt and germs and not the previous occupants.

For real- adding orange essential oil to your cleaning water freshens and disinfects the surfaces you clean. Orange oil has an amazing ability to grab onto and remove the greasy grimy kind of dirt left on walls which generally takes scrubbing and effort to remove. And this way the paint actually gets to stay on the wall. The scent is very pleasant and relaxing. I would rather smell the fresh scent of orange than the brain piercing scent of gaggy cleansers. It's better for the environment too!

Basic facts on Orange essential oil:
Citrus Sinensis
Uses: Diuretic, constipation, helps eliminate toxins, overindulgence, mouth ulcers, skin care, antiseptic, nervous anxiety, depression, disinfectant, general body tonic.
This oil contains vitamin, minerals, and enzymes. Can be used to flavor food, drinks, and confectionery. The properties of Orange overlap to a large extent with those of the related oil of Neroli (obtained from the orange blossom), being anti-depressant, antispasmodic, and mildly sedative, and is recommended for several of the same purposes as Neroli. Only Orange costs less and smells better.
This is a cheery oil and blends well with spice oils, which makes it an uplifting choice to use during the winter months in warm drinks, or diffused.
Contraindications: As with all citrus oils, should not be applied to the skin before exposure to strong sunlight.
Use all oils with caution and respect. Know any contraindications before using. keep out of reach of children and pets. keep away from eyes. Always dilute properly. Remember . . . less is best.

Mmmmm. A Massage :)

I am NOT the type of person who will pay $50 to have someone I do not know rub my back. To me it is way more relaxing and rejuvenating to spend half that and several hours playing with pretty paper, ribbon and photos of people I love and adore. (In another life I am a scrapbooker.) But when someone offered to bring a table to my home and give me a massage for free- I obliged. Good choice on my part.

AA applied oils on my back and methodically released built up stress. increased my immunity, reduced inflammation in my body, and rejuvenated me. Aah. And it isn't even my birthday!

The massage I experienced was simple and easy to learn. I know because I looked it up and gave my hunny a mini version this evening. Now he is sleeping peacefully and hopefully, longer. I applied oils which will increase his circulation, reduce soreness, alleviate pain, and soothe inflammation.

The massage process is referred to as Aromatouch technique. DoTerra has created a kit with eight essential oils and blends, fractionated coconut oil, a training DVD and an overview booklet in a presentation box which makes it realistic for a person to learn the technique quickly. It felt nice for me to give that little bit of love and attention to my hunny. And I will be able to do it again and again. Just as important, is that in the process, my husband will be using essential oils his body needs.
