Combatting Inflammation

Inflammation is the first response of the immune system to infection or irritation.   It is the root of most chronic deseases and is caused by several conditions, including bacteria, poor diet, injuries, reaction to chemicals, and hormonal imbalances. 
One of the most powerful benefits of essential oils is the anti-inflammatory properties.  Clinical research shows healing anti-inflammatory activites in many oils.  If you are experiencing inflammation, try these to help combat it.

Is your hair ready for the summer elements?

Sun, smoke, pollution, cold, heat and styling products all take their toll on the hair's condition. Even the state inside your body affects your hair. Stress, poor nutrition and dehydration all play a role in hair health.

One way to combat all of these negative influences on the health of your hair is with  hot oil treatments.  Overuse of heating elements such as hair dryers, curling irons or straighteners can rob the hair of necessary moisture and oils, leaving it dry and prone to breakage. Hot oil treatments condition the hair shaft, restoring strength to it.

When hair is dry, the hair shaft becomes weak and damaged. This results in breaking and splitting of the hair. Not only does this make the hair appear frizzy and unhealthy, it also makes it seem as if it is just not growing, since the ends keep breaking off. When you apply a hot oil treatment, a few things happen. Usually, before applying, the hair is still damp from being freshly washed. When the hot oil treatment is applied, the oil covers the hair shaft and seals the moisture into the shaft. The oil helps the outside of the hair shaft by coating the split ends and breaking points, giving the appearance of smooth, healthy hair. The oil not only conditions the hair, it detangles it as well, preventing further breakage from brushing and pulling the hair.

Applying hot oil treatments also benefits hair in the long term, not just temporarily. When applying the oil, massaging the scalp gently with the fingertips promotes circulation and blood flow to the scalp. This encourages the production of the scalp's natural oils, which are the ideal oils for keeping the hair healthy. Giving a hot oil treatment once a week, along with a light scalp massage, will help your hair become naturally moisturized and strengthened.

Spring is here and so are sore and tired muscles

One benefit of Essential Oils is that they provide natural pain relief.  Essential oils may be gently massaged into sore and tired muscles or made into a compress and applied with heat.  They may also enhance the production of endorphins and activate neurotransmitters in the brain that alleviate pain.  Some good oils to use for this include: 

• Balsam Fir
• Black Pepper
• Peppermint
• Ginger
• Lavender
• Wintergreen

Deep Relaxation Therapy

Hi friends!  I have recently returned from an educational trip to Crestone, Colorado where I attended an Intenstive Clinical Aromatherapy Class as part of my educational challange to be Registered.  I was so fortunate to learn more than I had hoped and to also make some great new friends.  During the class, I was introduced to Peter May, the owner and creator of Windhorse Botanicals.  I am happy to report that I am now also in training to learn to facilitate the Star Drops Deep Relaxation Therapy Journeys Peter is known for.  During these journey's, subtle energetic blocks may be gracefully released, there is nothing to do but be aware. Using Star Drops™ Journeys may assist the body in healing itself due to their ability to help the body deeply relax.  I experienced this incredible therapy.  I am anxious to share it with all of you.  More to come....
