Advent Week 4

Merry Christmas!!!!!! I hope you all are having a wonderful day. Let me know what some of your favorite traditions.

Clove helps fight colds, numbs the skin, relieves baby's toothaches, and it repels lice. It also smells like Christmas, although it is a little strong so I suggest you start with a very little at first.

Advent Week 3

As Christmas is getting closer, there may be a lot more stress and therefore more colds. The oil that is great for any time of the year, but especially this time of the year is Thieves. Thieves helps fight any sickness and it kills way more airborne germs then anything else. Not only that but it smells like Christmas!

Tid bit for the week: Teddy Roosevelt banned the use of Christmas trees in the White House because of his environmental views.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Advent Week 2

We are now at the second week of advent and the second part in this series. This week we are going to look at Myrrh.

Myrrh was also a gift to Jesus from the wise men. It is a great help against respitory problems, colds, bronchitis and much more. Myrrh is fairly expensive as well. 

Tid bit time!  Christmas trees have been sold in the U. S. A. Since 1850 and Christmas trees are grown for 15 years before they are sold.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Advent Week 1

With Christmas coming around the corner, I thought it would be fun to do a 4 part series. Each part will cover one oil specifically and a fun tid bit. This the first part of the series and we will look at Frankincense.

Frankincense was one of the gifts that Jesus received from the wise men. This oil is very expensive and is extremely useful. It helps fight colds, any respitory problem, helps heal wounds and takes away any skin blemish like warts and stretch marks and much more. Mary would have known all the benefits of this oil, but wouldn't have been able to afford it. So in a very amazing way God provided a means of taking care of Jesus's health. 

And for the tid bit: A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired on TV on December 9th, 1965.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Oils For Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving is a week from today and I am getting very excited for it!! This time of year is my absolute favorite! I love everything about it, the weather, the holidays, the smells. I am very excited this year to add essential oils to the mix.

I think I will be getting out the diffuser at some point and diffusing Thieves, Clove and Lemon Essential oils just for fun! Not only will they freshen up the air, but they will give everyone's immune systems a boost and they are festive smells.

What oils are you going to use this Thanksgiving?

The Holiday Season

With the holiday season fast approaching us, it's always good to have a couple tricks up our sleeves to prevent as much sickness as possible. There are quite a few natural things that you can do to prevent sickness during this hectic time of year. Everything from what you eat to sleeping to not stressing to essential oils. So let's get started!

There are several things that you can include (or leave out) in your everyday eating that will help reduce your chances of getting sick. First thing you can do is to cut out as much sugar from your daily diet as possible. During this time of year sugar seems to be everywhere. There is no problem in eating sugary treats at the parties and at the holidays, just cut as much out as you can. Also eating more coconut oil and cinnamon whenever possible is very beneficial. They both boost your immune system like nothing else. Soups and stews are chock full of nutrients that will also boost your immune system.

Sleep and stress kinda go hand in hand. If your not sleeping well you tend to stress more and the more you stress the less you sleep. Stress and lack of sleep can seriously reduce your immune systems ability to fight bad bacteria. I know it's hard not to not stress during this time of year, but it's always good to take time to smell the daisies. ;)

There are also plenty of essential oils to use as air fresheners and to help your system fight germs. Thieves, Frankincense, Lavender, Peppermint and Stress Away are all excellent oils to use during this time of the year.

I hope you all have an excellent holiday season and a very healthy one!

Soli Deo Gloria!!
