The Intro

I had scheduled an Into to Essential Oils Class this morning, but the 1 person who replied couldn't make it.  That happens sometimes, lately often to me.   But I am not giving up.  I still have experienced amazing things from these Oils, and I feel Called to Share them.  I still held my class anyway.  Here is my Intro to Essential Oils class, it was a Good Opportunity for me to Practice without interruption.  I enjoy interacting with people the most about my job, it makes it easy to hear about someone's issues and be able to share stories to help.  Maybe there is something for you all to learn here too.

Rainy Days

We've had a ton of rain the last few weeks, especially in the last few days. 

My poor dog has been very upset.  Princess gets upset when it storms.  We use Lavender and Peace & Calming in the diffuser for her.  But this past month, in my ER, I bought her some T-Away.  It was described to me as being Valor AND Peace & Calming for dogs.  Not surprising, it has All the Ingredients of Valor II and Peace and Calming, for a fraction of the price!  It's even prediluted with fractionated coconut oil so that it won't bother her skin.   And it has Tangerine, Lavender, Royal Hawaiian Sandlewood, German Chamomile, Frankincense, Valerian, Ylang Ylang, Black Spruce, Geranium, Davana, Orange, Angelica, Rue, Helichrysum, Hyssop, Spanish Sage, Lime, Patchouli, Coriander, Blue Tansy, Bergamot, Rose, Lemon, Jasmine, Roman Chamomile, and Palmarosa.

We opted to give T-Away a Try. 

The first time I broke it out was when she woke me in the middle of the night last weekend, panting and licking her chops, she was nervous.  At 3 am!  I put a drop between her shoulder blades, and she was snoring by 4 am.  Mommy needed a little something more to get back to sleep.  The next evening we were slammed with more thunderstorms, so before I even went to bed, I loaded her up, one drop on my hand massaged behind her ears and wiped down her sides.  Within minutes, before I even finished writing about it on FB, she got up off the couch and put herself to bed!  Storms be darned!

This is a dog who approves of T-Away! 

But it hasn't stopped raining.  My floor is covered in muddy footprints. My backyard is a swamp.

I couldn't take any more. I had to resort to making my own Sunshine with my Essential Oils. 

Sunshine Blend in the Diffuser

5 drops Grapefruit

5 drops Orange 

3 drops Bergamot

2 drops Frankincense

1 drop Joy

1 drop Release

Ears and Improvisation

So I have this blend I use, I call it my Snoochie Blend.  It's 10 drops each of Melrose, Purification, and Lavender, and I use it around my ears and sinuses when I'm having congestion.  Last fall, I made a youtube video on what I do with my Snoochie Blend, it's not good, but here you go -

 

This week caught me off guard.  Jacob woke up Tuesday morning feverish.   Sam had gotten sick the week before, and it was Jacob's turn.  He woke up grumpy, and coughing more than usual.  I didn't like the look he had, so I took him into the Dr. in the afternoon.  He had a fever by naptime. And he had an ear infection.   I didn't see that coming!

So since then I've been trying to smother us all in the Snoochie Blend. But Chris got an ear infection by Thursday too, and apparently, a cough begun by some sort of viral crud can  lead to ear infections.  Oy.  So far, I've been applying to myself and haven't caught it.... yet.  Knock on wood.

Last night was a girl's night out for me, and I was so grateful for it, as I'd been home with sickies all week.  But one of my friend's ear was in need of some support, and she didn't have any Melrose.  So we Improvised:

10 drops Purification
10 drops Lavender
7 drops Melaleuca A.  (Tea Tree)
3 drops Thieves (which has Clove and Rosemary just like Melrose)
2 drops Panaway (since there's Clove but also Helichrysum, which I've been reading lately is great for ear support)

This blend smelled so fabulous.  We put it in a roller, and added some grapeseed carrier oil.  And she applied it around the base of her ear and down to her throat, just like I did in my video.
Within probably half an hour she started to feel some differences, she wasn't sure if it was good things or not.  But this morning, she told me her ear was feeling tons better!  So I wanted to share this Improv Success Story!
