What to do for a Headache?

What do I do for a headache?

This is the most common question I get when someone becomes aware of essential oils. Most of the time over the counter drugs can be more harmful than good. If you are trying to improve your health, this is not always and option.
There are different types of head aches but I have found that a couple drops of good quality Lavender and Peppermint layered on the back of the neck and a cross the forehead alleviates most headaches. If you have an extreme headache layer Marjoram on top of the other two oils. The other thing I do for my family is to take a rice bag that has been heated in the microwave and put it on the back of the neck or forehead for about 10 min. The heat will drive the oils deeper into the body.
The results are amazing!

Supporting your liver may just be the missing key to your optimum health! This diverse organ has well over three hundred different functions! It is the first line of defense against any poisons – its role is to change harmful toxins into substances that can be safely eliminated from the body. In addition, all the nourishment obtained through the gastrointestinal tract enters the blood by way of the liver.

The liver secretes vital digestive juices that help properly digest food and cleanse the blood.

Pesticides, polluted air, water and soil are inhaled or absorbed daily. Our exposure to toxins is increased by our use of steroids, medications, smoking, over-indulgence of alcohol, poor food choices, and not drinking enough fresh clean water.

With the help of our liver we naturally expel the metabolic by-products and toxins produced from the regular functioning and metabolism of our bodies.

The liver also has a profound effect on the hormonal system, helping to regulate and balance hormonal activity to ensure the proper functioning of our neurological system.

With the prevalence of synthetic foods, nutrient deficient foods and the environmental pollution of our air and water, our liver is working harder than ever to detoxify our body and regulate healthy metabolic activity.

Many different poor health symptoms can result from a liver that is overloaded with toxins and undernourished, including:

Poor digestion

Fatigue

Skin Rashes

Depression

Hormonal imbalances

Obesity

Gallbladder disease

PMS

Allergies

Jaundice

Nausea

Emotional excess

Headaches

Drowsiness after eating

Weak tendons, ligaments and muscles

Difficulty losing weight

Constipation

Chemical sensitivities

Healthy Liver Is Also The Secret To Weight Loss!

One of the best kept secrets in weight loss and lasting weight control is keeping the liver, the key organ for fat metabolism, in tip-top shape.

Ann Louise Gittleman, author of The Fat Flush Plan, says:

"Probably nothing you do to control your weight is as important as keeping your liver healthy. This means avoiding as many of the damaging elements (like alcohol) as possible, while embracing liver boosters. Among some of the lesser known compromisers of liver function are caffeine, sugar, trans fats, medications, and inadequate fiber."

Cleaning up the liver is the key to better health, energy and vitality!

Spring cleaning and protecting your home with Essentail Oils

Fragrant Care for Your Home ©

The first thing to greet your guests as they enter your home is the aroma, and that impression will be long lasting. The unique aromatic fingerprint says a great deal about everyone in the house-whether there are smokers or have pets, the kind of food that is cooked, or even if you have a mold issue. If you are trying to sell your house, diffusing a few drops of Lavender and Lemon oil will make the viewers feel at ease and often they will say, "The house just has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, but we don't know why." You, however, know exactly why! You can give everyone the assurance that your home is healthy and clean with chemical free Essential Oils. Don't worry about the flouro-carbons in your store bought air fresheners any more. We can help protect the ozone layer! Pure essential oils have only good side-effects and they don't cause allergies. If you have allergies you probably need to do a spring cleaning for your bodyJ Essential oils are so beneficial, enjoyable, and versatile that you will wonder what you ever did before you came to know about them and there are probably a hundred new ways to use them enhance your home. Your only problem will be deciding where to keep them; in the first-aid box, the garden shed, the kitchen, utility room, bathroom, or the bedroom! Hallways All rooms join here and usually don't have windows so the air can get stale. You need something fresh and light. Lemon, Orange, Lemongrass and Venus blend are great for the hall area. Try mixing Geranium or Lavender with your citrus oils. Spray your hallway before bedtime so when you get up in the morning it will welcome you as you wake up. Colds or Flu in your home? -add Rosemary plus a Citrus base-about 8 drops of each oil into 2 ½ cups of water. You can spritz it over your carpet or mix into some baking soda and sprinkle it over the carpet. Then just vacuum and voila! Air Fresheners Try to coordinate your choice of oils not only with the time of day but also the season of the year. Use a light, refreshing oil or mix in the summer and one that is warming during the winter months. Spring/Summer Lemon, Orange, Geranium and Lemongrass-very uplifting. 10 drops Lemon 4 drops Geranium 2 drops Sandalwood 2 drops Lavender-amazing! Autumn/Winter Blend 8 drops Orange 3 drops Frankincense 3 drops Cypress 2 drops Cypress Or use the Spicy blends. These are especially nice at Christmas time. To freshen the air- Add 10 drops of Lemon oil to 2 ½ cups of water in a mister bottle. Emotion blend freshens too. Just keep it off your wood surfaces to prevent water stains. Spray your plants- Shake and spray a fine mist around the plant and wipe the leaves down. You may also use this to spray near the curtains. To energize- add Peppermintto the water. Just spritz it into the air. This is excellent for joggers or runners who need energizing before, during and after a race. (Do not spray near the eyes, however.) Pets-mist on carpet or areas they frequent by using the Lemon mister. Den or Fireplace area 10 drops Geranium 5 drops Peppermint 2 drops Chiro Touch mixed into 2 ½ cups of water for an amazing aroma. You may also boil water in a small container on your stove, turn off the heat, and then add a few drops of your favorite oil. Simmer lightly to allow the oils waft into the air for a pleasant fragrance. Put 4 drops of oil on a tissue, place it near a fan or air conditioner vent or use one of the Seasonal oils or Spice for Life on an air pad to freshen the air and kill the germs. (Good for "sick-building syndrome") The Cool Air Diffuser is really nice for so many uses. Just place it on a counter add the essential oil and let it go. It diffuses the oil into the air in tiny molecules matching the alveoli in your lungs so when you breathe it in your body accepts it and helps protect. When cleaning your Diffuser, add some boiled water and 2 drops of vinegar to clean it out. Bacteria Buster 10 drops Spice For Life 10 drops Lemon 8 drops Eucalyptus 4 drops Lavender This blend inhibits the growth of bacteria, clearly a major concern in the home. The majority of essential oils are antiseptic and antibacterial. Some are antifungal and antiviral. Whatever method you use, they not only make your environment smell delightful but make it safe as well. The Kitchen Essential oils are about cleansing the air, rather than merely masking bad smells. Another huge advantage is that when used correctly they are harmless, so while it is best to avoid spraying them on your food because of taste, no harm will come to it if you do-or to the baby if he happens to be sitting in the high chair. Many oils are used as preservatives. Thyme, Rosemary and Tea Tree are three examples The Clean Kitchen Blend Lavender 8 Drops Lemon 10 Drops Eucalyptus 5 Drops Orange 8 Drops Rosemary 3 Drops This is a wonderful synergy blend which does not contain phenols as something like Pine-Sol will. It's great to use on a cloth or added to your rinse water for cleaning and disinfecting around the whole house. Or add it to 2 1/2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Dishwashing Formula 5 drops Lemon 3 drops Bergamot 2 drops Lavender 1 drop Orange Add to a bottle of 3 oz of water and shake then add to 3 ounces of dish soap. Great for washing down trash cans or added to the garbage disposer to freshen. Kitchen Air Spray 10 drops Rosemary 10 drops Lemon 5 drops Eucalyptus 3 drops Lavender 2 drops Oregano Add to 2 ½ cups of water in a spray bottle. For Washing Kitchen Surfaces 10 drops Tea Tree 10 drops Lemon 5 drops Eucalyptus 3 drops Lavender 2 drops Thyme Add to 2 ½ cups of water in a spray bottle. Or, chose one and use on a cloth. Try adding 4 drops of Venus to the floor for mopping and see the mood change. French Butcher Blocks- Prevent E-coli and Salmonella and eliminate odors by using 2 drops Oregano and 10 drops Lemon in a spritzer bottle. Use caution when using Oregano as it is a very HOT oil. Do not get it near the eyes or on the skin. Refrigerator & Stove- Add 1 drop of Lemon and Orange to the final rinse water when cleaning inside and out. Dishwasher- Add 2 drops Lemon into the dispenser to help clean, disinfect and prevent spotting. Don't use the synthetic lemon cleaners in the store. Rather use the real thing. Ants in the Kitchen? Mix 5 drops Peppermint and 2 drops Lemongrass and spray it around the baseboards or corners of your countertops to keep pests away. Mice? Peppermint around the baseboards of your home-they do not like the smell of Peppermint. Utility Room- Washer, dryer, closet, wardrobes, etc. Our Elizabethan ancestors would wash their clothes and linens and hang them over Rosemary or Lavender bushes. The sun would bring out the oils and fragrance the clothing. They also scented their wash water with Iris root. The essential oils give us many more possibilities, sweetening our clothes and knocking down the germs that cause the odors. Washing machine-Use Lemon, Lavender and Rosemary. Citrus is always safe around the boys who don't want to smell like Lavender. Add 3-5 drops in the softening compartment of your wash machine with water. This will disperse during the rinse cycle. Fresh: Lavender, Rosemary, Bergamot Floral: Geranium, Lavender, and Bliss Romantic: Romance, Gratitude, Mars, Venus Use 2 drops for hand washables, swished in the water. Avoid the resinous oils, as some of the heavier oils such as rose which tend to cling to the clothes in the wash but are fine to use when drying or storing clothes. Kill microbes in dishtowels by adding 1 drop Eucalyptus 1 drop of Thyme 1 drop Tea Tree 1 drop of Lavender-soak for a while and then wash them. If you ran a bacteria test on them you would find none. Dryer- Put 2 drops of your favorite oil on a piece of material no larger than 4 inches square and pop it in with the clothes. For cold and flu season try Lemongrass, or any of the Emotional oils, even Breathe and Eucalyptus. The Seasonal oils would be Dana's preference. Not only will you smell good but also you are adding a barrier to germs. Ironing-add 1 drop of Lemon in the water of your iron to freshen. Essential oils can be left in the Dresser drawer or closet to infuse the clothes. Take a cotton ball and add a few drops of Orange, Lemon and/or Geranium and tuck them in the corners of your clothes drawers. Clothes sweetener 4 drop Orange 3 drops Lemon 2 drops Geranium 2 drops Rosemary Moth repellant- Use equal proportions of Lavender, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Peppermint and Spearmint on cotton or wool balls to repel moths. This is much cheaper and safer than the chemical counterparts. Also, you can mist the carpet in the closet or even wash the walls of your closet with this added to water. Shoes- Odor eater with essential oils. Take 2 drops of the above Moth Repellant recipe and wipe the inside of your shoes with a cotton ball. Or mix some baking soda or Sol Salts with some of this recipe and put in into the shoes, shake it around and shake it out. Sneaker Tamer: 2 drops Peppermint 5 drops Rosemary 3 drops Lavender, mixed into baking soda, salts or on a cotton ball. The Living Room In years gone by people put aromatic grasses under their rugs and mats so the aroma would be released to freshen the room as they walked on them. Today most of us have wall-to-wall carpeting and we use furniture polishes and carpet cleaners which contain harmful chemicals. Sprinkle the Sneaker Tamer recipe over your carpet and vacuum it up. This is great to freshen the carpet and disinfect. You may also put your oils in your Cool air Diffuser or spritzer bottle. The Relaxing Living room 8 drops Geranium 3 drops Clary-sage 5 drops Lemon 3 drops Bergamot The Stimulating Living room 8 drops Orange 4 drops Lavender 4 drops Lemon 2 drops Basil The Real Deal Furniture Polish 8 oz of Beeswax-softened and add 2 ½ cups of turpentine 2 ½ cups of water 2 oz pure soap flakes (not granulated) 10 drops or more of essential oil. Blend well. Use on wood floors and furniture Dust or dirt build-up? Add 6-8 drops of Lemon or Orange which will have an electrical charge to attract the dirt. Use Lemon for cleaning window sills and removing sticky scum from labels and nail polish. Windows-Add 2 drops of Lemon and Peppermint to water. Pet Odors on carpet-Add 1 teaspoon Bath salts or add 5 drops essential oil to ½ cup Epson salts mixed wellto your wet dry vacuum. Bathroom- Use the Bacteria Buster on all the final rinses on the toilet, counter's, sinks, tubs. Lemon, Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Orange, Peppermint, and Dill are all good for cleaning in the bathroom. Toilet brush-soak it in an old container with a few drops of Oregano and Thyme. Or buy a new one. Kill surface and airborne bacteria & viruses Mix 5 drops Oregano 10 drops Peppermint 10 drops of Lemon 5 drops Thyme into your rinse water and wipe all surfaces. Stronger recipe- 20 drops Lemon 10 drops Thyme 5 drops Oregano 3 drops Frankincense The Bathroom BLEND 1 10 drops Lavender 10 drops Lemon 10 drops Rosemary 5 drops Bergamot 5 drops Cinnamon Bark The Bathroom BLEND 2 20 drops Lemon 10 drops Clary Sage 10 drops Thyme 5 drops Oregano Bedroom- We spend a lot of time here.

Super Liver Cleanse

This is a conversation I had with one of my oil users. I think this can be a benefit to all

Hi Terry,

I really like reading about these different oils. My brother just came home last nite and he has had gout for about a week now. I noticed that the defense oil is suppose to help that. Do you have any of that on hand? if so how much & how does he use it? I also like the fact that you can use it as a hand sanitizer. as well as part of a bacterial & liver cleanse. I may be interested in doing those as well, but I would consult you before I do that.
Laurie

Defense oil* is one of my favorite oil blends since its introduction this past fall. I use one drop daily as a maintenance and to protect me from the colds and flus that go around. I am the only one in my family that has not gotten sick this winter with that nasty flu that is going around. As far as a hand sanitizer put Defense in your soft soap dispenser (about 10-15 drops) and it is better that any anti-bacterial soap. I carry peppermint and lemon in my purse at all times. When I go into (or shortly after) the grocery store I rub it on my hands and breathe it in. This kills the germs I get from the cart and any airborne bacteria that I breathe in. I also do this if I am flying sometimes substituting it for orange. I rub it on just before entering the plane because of the close contact with people in such a small place . You could use Defense in any of these applications as well. Don't be to paranoid though. If you are using your oils your immune system will be up and that will protect you as well.
The Bacterial liver cleanse is great to do every so often. It is basically the liver cleanse on steroids and Dana would say.

Only do this if you have been on the regular liver cleanse for at least 30 days
(It will be to hard on you if you don't)

Super Liver Cleanse
2-4 T of fresh squeeze lemon juice
2-4 T pure maple syrup* ( can substitute honey or molasses)*high in B vitamins.
3-5 drops lemon oil
3-5 drops peppermint oil
20 oz of water
dash of cayenne pepper

Sip throughout the day or drink it all at once
do this for 30 days.
For the Bacterial cleanse take 1 drop of Defense internally 3X a day along with the super liver cleanse

Just a side note about the Super Liver cleanse-- Dana told us in the last boot camp that it would get rid of astigmatism.
I decided to try because I have it in my left eye. I took it sporadically over the year but always did the normal liver cleanse faithfully.I just got my eyes checked last week . The astigmatism's is gone. I asked that optometrist if that was normal? He said, " not really." I didn't say any thing about the cleanse but I sure will pass it on.

*Defense is an oil blend from Be Young essential oils
Always use good quality oils. If you want to learn more or order some oils contact me. terrycmoss@centurytel.net

Essential oils are such a big part of my life

I first got started with oils two years ago when my sister called and said she had found something to help her with the issues she had been having concerning her health. It peaked my interest and I jumped in with two feet. I started out with an LSA reading (more about that later) From there I started the oils to help me with the health issues that I had. I didn't have a lot going on or so I thought at the time. Just a lot of fatigue and some infections in my sinuses. Little did I know what a journey I had just embarked on. I started having great success with the essential oils. The LSA reading revealed that I had more going on than I realized. I started having more energy. The candida and chronic fatigue went away. My liver, kidneys, lymph's, started working properly. I used the oils for my hormones and my emotions. I used them for headaches and pains and stiffness. I was loving it.
My sister called me and said, "They are having a training camp to learn how to use these oils. Do you want to go?" I was all over it. I have never looked back. Not only I have been able to help my friends and family but also may other people that I have met or have found me. They were desperate and had tried everything they could think of. It has been very rewarding to say the least. I am grateful for these oils. Through this blog I hope to educate you about oils and their uses and anything else you want to know. If I don't know the answer I think I could find someone who does.

I hope you enjoy your Journey!

"there's and oil for that"
