one of the roles essential oils play for human beings ... is
to celebrate special occasions. In all the hustle-bustle of
Christmas and the holidays, remember to keep them with you!

beings. Nature gives us her most precious liquid in essential
oils to tap into this deep quiet place and celebrate it. May
your Holidays ... be truly Holy Days ... with aromas of joy
surrounding you and your loved ones.

One
of the bits of wisdom I continue to learn about
essential oils is how they work through osmosis. What
you do for yourself, is then done for those around you.
Aromas know no limits and boundaries...and will not be
contained. Smelling aromas to soothe your stress, can
also soothe the one next to you.
Traveling
on airplanes is a continual experience of this. Most of
you know this is how I met my husband, John. With my
mother sitting between us, we could not keep the aromas
of Lavender and Peppermint from affecting his nose-brain
connection! This was his first introduction to essential
oils. Another time, the man sitting next to me asked
about the wonderful smell I was using...because he did
not like perfumes. This experience changed his whole
demeanor. He said he was going home to support his wife,
a nurse who wanted to study Aromatherapy which he had
not supported until now.
One
of my favorite stories is a customer who goes to sleep
at night with Lavender Mist and some straight Lavender
on her pillow. This calms the central nervous system and
helps turn off the chatter of the day. She told me her
anxious dog sleeps on the rug next to her bed, and she
noticed he calmed down too! After a few night, the dog
ran to his rug at bedtime for his Lavender Misting.
So
soothing yourself this season, is also soothing those
around you. Essential oils know all about the Golden
Rule. Genuine giving and receiving are one. John and I
wish you Holidays ... blessed with aromas of joy and
peace ... as you do unto others.

Speaking
of thoughts, memories, and emotions...reminds me of a
lady in Naples, Florida who came into our studio/shop
one day to tell us that she finally can feel Christmas
in Florida. A friend gave her our Precious Christmas
Oil. The moment she smelled it...the warm memories of
Christmas came back. Each day, she put some on a cotton
ball for her pocket.
Precious
Christmas Oil is our 14 year formula of Pine, Cinnamon,
Clove and Orange. A couple drops in a pan of warm water
on the stove is lovely....or in a diffuser. It is one of
our seven specials this month. The oils happen to be
antibacterial and antiviral...a good side effect for
keeping us healthy. Happy warm memories keep us healthy
too. What synergy!

Essential
Oils & The
Holidays |
|
|
|
Last
month we talked about the two main attributes of
Aromatherapy: (1) their instant ability to relieve
stress, and (2) their support for a healthy immune
system. Sometimes more than others we really can use
this help. The Holidays are the most powerful time to
conjure up memories, thoughts, and emotions of all
kinds. Also, our health is challenged due to the
opportunity to indulge in the goodies, overextend our
time commitments, and be around lots of people
Essential
oils are a language of thought, memory, and emotion.
Words cannot take us where aromas go. This is profoundly
clear to me from my work at Hospice, to the top of the
Andes mountains with the Incas. Pure aromas initiate the
nose-brain connection. This instantaneously changes our
brain chemistry, creating feelings of less stress and
more peace.
Essential
oils are the perfect partner for the holidays. Their
aromas were made to celebrate the joy of the season and
assist us through the transitions of the New Year. All
the while, their medicinal properties are protecting our
physical health.
Choose
to focus on the true meaning of Christmas and the
Holidays. Select your favorite aromas and be aware of
how they celebrate who you are. Some good choices are:
Lavender, Orange, Geranium, Rose, Sandalwood,
Frankincense and Myrrh.
Mist
yourself often ... just for the joy of it. Put a couple
drops of your favorite oil on a cotton ball and keep it
in your pocket. Use a blend for enjoying each shower and
bath. Tuck yourself in bed at night with a drop of
Lavender on your pillow. Sweet Dreams ... visions of
sugar plums ... and all things sweet and lovely.
