Lavender

This is by far my favorite oil! It helps me sleep. I read a testimonial online about a woman who used lavender in her horses eye to help calm a scratched eye (I don't suggest doing this but I did as I scratched my eye pretty bad and it was bugging me) I diluted the lavender with my eye drops and it really did burn for a couple moments but after that it was very much calmed and soothed.

christmas!

A long time ago in a land far far away.....
(well far from me)
Three kings followed a shining star from afar bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrr for an amazing new baby.
Thinking about this I wonder what would be brought today if he was born. Perhaps money, gold, a PS4, tablets, laptop, Lambourghini, keys to a new house?
All those things are fabulous to us all, however, what would they really benefit?
If the scenario was exactly the same (birth, death, rebirth) how would these things help?
Frankincense and myrr were very valuable back then and were used for health as well as during burial (the kings were quite smart).
we still have these oils today yet people prefer synthetics or poisons (formaldehyde) for life and death.
if Jesus approves then I want me some oils!

Frankincense! The Ancient Oil We Sing Songs About!

Introducing Frankincense, the oil of the week! 
Ancient ritual usage and modern research confirm that Frankincense has relaxing effects on the human body including uplifting mood and heightening awareness.  These antidepressant properties can be achieved through various diffusion techniques and topical application including various forms of massage.  This oil is also well suited to help with skin conditions.  It is a mild oil that in most instances can be applied directly, if necessary.  Help with acne to wrinkles, cuts and wounds to reducing scarring are all mentioned by those that have used this essential oil.  Most practical for skin application is to make a 1% to 2% dilution with a carrier oil or a similar dilution in an ointment.
After being used over a thousand years this has got to be good!

Have a little too much Christmas cheer? Rub a drop of grapefruit over your liver and the soles of your feet. You can even put a drop in your water!
