Essential oils - Uses, recipes and information

Thieves essential oil

8/17/2018

0 Comments

 
Thieves® essential oil is a powerful combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils for an aromatic blend that fills any space with a rich, spicy aroma. Inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals used while robbing the dead and dying, Thieves is one of Young Living’s most popular products.

But trust me, not all Thieves is created the same. Young Living has the original Thieves essential oil blend. 

With the benefits of Thieves oil including cleaning power and an irresistibly spicy scent, Young Living offers it as an essential oil blend and as an important ingredient in a full range of home cleaning and personal care products, from dish soap to toothpaste. Looking to make your home smell as clean as it looks? Diffuse Thieves oil throughout the house for an aroma that makes every room smell more like fall baking than harsh cleaning formulas.

So how do you use Thieves essential oil? I’ve got 10 great uses – keep reading…
10 Uses for Thieves Essential Oil
1. Make a Wellness Tea Add a drop of Thieves Vitality and a spoonful of raw honey to a warm cup of water. Enjoy in the morning or anytime you need a boost.
2. Spice Up Apple Cider Add a drop of Thieves Vitality to a cup of warm apple cider. It can help to spice it up and enhance the flavor of the apple.
3. Add Flavor to Applesauce Add Thieves Vitality to a batch of homemade applesauce to spice it up. Start with a drop or two and add more Thieves as needed.
4. Support Healthy Immune Function*When taken internally, Thieves Vitality can help to support health immune function*. Add a drop to a spoonful of honey or even add a vegetable capsule and top with coconut oil to take as a dietary supplement.
5. Support a Healthy Respiratory System*The Thieves Vitality essential oil blend contains Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil, which may help maintain a healthy respiratory system, when taken as a dietary supplement.*
6. Add to Your Toothpaste If you like to DIY, you can make homemade toothpaste and add Thieves Vitality essential oil. It tastes fantastic. Ready-made Thieves toothpaste is also available from Young Living (how to order).
7. Ditch Your Air Freshener Make your home smell like fresh-baked cookies (that’s what I think Thieves smells like in the diffuser) or like your favorite fall scent. Just add a few drops to your diffuser. If you have friends or family over at your home or need to showcase your home (realtors, listen up), Thieves is the perfect essential oil to diffuse. Everyone will be looking for the batch of cookies.
8. Clean Your Home You can make your own DIY household cleaner with Thieves essential oil or use Thieves Household Cleaner to clean virtually every surface of your home. It smells great too.
9. Enjoy with a Shot of NingXia Red One of my favorite ways to enjoy Thieves Vitality is to add a drop to a shot of NingXia Red, an antioxidant drink made from wolfberries (which are gogi berries from China). It’s spicy, refreshing and great for helping to support a healthy immune system.*
10. Make a DIY Breath Spray I have a fantastic recipe to make a DIY breath spray with Peppermint Vitality essential oil to freshen breath, but Thieves Vitality is another alternative – kind of like a red, hot cinnamon gum flavor. Just add 2-3 drops of Thieves essential oil to a mini spray bottle and fill with water. Use as needed to freshen breath.

More than likely your doctor will not be trained in essential oils and will not know all the facts about them, so do your own research first. We are our own advocates for our own health and bodies.*

I only use Young Living essential oils for this because they are 100% pure therapeutic grade and they are safe to use internally and topically. Essential oils from the store are not safe for internal or topical use and can have synthetic additives.

Lavender essential Oil - uses

5/28/2018

0 Comments

 
Here are some of my favorite uses of lavender essential oil:1.) Sleep - Lavender helps me (and my dogs) have a peaceful nights sleep.  I've been sleeping much sounder and deeper since I started using lavender just on the souls of my feet right before bedtime.  My old dog, who sleeps at my feet, also has been sleeping more soundly.
2.) Bug Bites - I've had to deal with chiggers and ticks already this season.  I use Lavender to soothe bug bites. I just applied my lavender oil straight on the bite (you do not need a carrier oil for high quality lavender).
3.) Soothe discomfort from grabbing a hot pan or being in the sun too long.  I got my first sunburn (hopefully my last, too) of the season yesterday.   This works fantastic when you've had one of those kitchen accidents. Just add this oil neat (without a carrier oil) to the skin every 1/2 hour or 15 minutes until the redness fades. DO NOT use a carrier oil with this as it will trap in the heat instead.  As a chef, we have kitchen burns every now and then.  Lavender offers up great relief to us.
4.) Lavender can help in the skin's own natural ability to heal irritations - Apply a little coconut oil and lavender EO on top of patches of skin where irritations are occurring and put a stop to that crazy itching!
5.) Soothe minor cuts- Lavender oil can soothe a minor cut, just add it to the wound. It will also help slow bleeding.
6.) Aids in the relief of Seasonal Sniffles- Lavender helps you fight off those pesky seasonal sniffles, lavender EO is great to help stop the itch and runny nose when taken internally and/or applied to the stomach or to the spine. A great recipe for this seasonal affliction is to put 2 drops each of lavender, cedarwood, and tea tree into a disposable essential oil "inhaler," (found on amazon).
7.) Detox Bath - Use lavender EO for a great detox bath by adding a few cups of epsom salt mixed with a few drops of lavender EO then mix with the bath water.  Lie down and relax as those toxins leave your body.  You emerge relaxed and refreshed and you smell good, too!
8.) I heard that you can stop a Nosebleed- Did you know that lavender is known to slow nosebleeds? Just add a drop to a tissue and apply to the nose.
9.) Supports the Respiratory System-   When I want to support my respiratory system and keep my immune system healthy I reach for: lavender, peppermint and lemon.

I only use Young Living essential oils for this because they are 100% pure therapeutic grade and they are safe to use internally and topically.

Essential Oils - short history lesson

5/21/2018

0 Comments

 
Essential oils have been around since the Egyptian era.   They were known to have used the oils for physical health and well being as well as mood stabilizers and enhancers.  Their belief was that the body, mind and soul were vessels that must be maintained in a healthful way in order to live a bountiful and fulfilling life.  They achieved this thru the ritual use of essential oils.

Evidence also suggests that Jesus is likely to have used Frankincense for cuts and bruises in his childhood.  According to Alain Touwaide, a historian of medicine at the Institute for the Preservation of Medical Traditions and the Smithsonian Institution,1 “We have textual—and also archaeological—evidence that both frankincense and myrrh were used as medicinal substances in antiquity.”

Today, people (nurses, doctors, nutritionists, moms, dads as well as Kings and priests) from of all walks of life are still using essential oils for the healing of the body and mind.   

I have chosen to utilize and talk mainly about Young Living Essential Oils
