These days
Have you noticed that one moment, life can feel grand, exciting and filled with hope; and the next moment, someone says something, or does something that feels completely “wrong”.. and you want to scream, or run, or throw something?
I’ve spoken with folks that were adults in the late 60’s and I hear it was much the same. So many opposite political views. Even within like cultures; like Yogi’s or Wholistic groups. It seems that “science” is a very controversial word currently. Actually even a ‘trigger’ word.
HOW CAN AN ESSENTIAL OIL HELP?
The olfactory is in direct communication with the limbic system. The moment you smell something, it hits your brain. AND IF the ingredients are in full strain (not chemically taken apart) their message is accurate and clear. If the oil has had it’s components rearranged “to make it safe”.. Then, science shows it will be a bit fuzzy in communication to the brain. Well, at least someone’s interpretation of science…
In the diffuser for nausea:
- 5 drops Tangerine or Mandarin
- 5 drops Ginger (Co2 will be stronger in the diffuser than steam distilled)
- 5 drops Roman Chamomile
Simply smelling our “fresh” Ginger steam distilled oil out of the bottle has an immediate effect supporting bloating and gas symptom reduction. And inhaling Tangerine is sure to put a smile on even the crabbiest of moods.
DIGESTIVE SUPPORTING OILS..
Did you know that Tangerine is an American hybrid of Mandarin? It’s a common fav with kiddo’s and pregnant women because of it’s uplifting and soothing properties. Sluggish digestion or spasms in muscles? This is your go to oil for sure!
Ginger is the most commonly used herb in Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. Are you aware that Chinese medicine got it’s ‘roots’ from Ayurveda? Yes… pun intended!! But it’s true..
And what has Ginger long been used for? DIGESTION! Among many other uses.
Here’s an excellent massage blend for chronic Arthritis/Rheumatism:
- 2 drops Ginger (Co2 or steam distilled)
- 2 drops Helichrysum
- 3 drops German Chamomile
- 2 drops Juniper
- 5 drops Lavender (any type)
- 2 drops Tangerine
Blend in 1 oz (30 mL) carrier (preferably Arnica, Calendula mix) Jojoba will do too!
Apply directly to areas needed
Both oils are commonly used in blends for reducing inflammation. So.. not just in the mind but in the body too! Stimulating circulation, detoxing the fluids and supporting the immune system are characteristics of these two beauties.
The strong powerful edges with the serene view reminds me of this Essential oil combination. If you don’t have access to the oils, envision the sensations you desire, sit in nature and allow intuition to speak through you! Be still and know.
How do YOU use these aromatic treasures?! I’d love to hear back from you!
peace + love,
