Beat That Virus!
So much sickness going around! I’ve given a few recipes for warding off sickies, but what do you do when you are sick? Well, my favorite solution is a nice, hot bath with either Epsom or Himalayan salts. So this recipe is for making a batch of bath salts. This should last 3-4 baths. I personally […]
Sunday Spotlight – Douglas Fir and Silver Fir
This month, Plant Therapy give us a two-for-one deal on the Oil of the Month club! I love conifers and these two are just lovely. Bright and clean without overpowering a blend (not like Pine-sol). I always feel like the men get left out of the blending, so I came up with this one to […]

It smells more lemon-y than lemon essential oil, guys. It smells exactly like a lemon drop! Yum! So, here’s what you […]
Mind-Body Blends
Part of Aromatherapy Certification is going through a crash course in Anatomy and Physiology. I’m learning a lot about how to better blend to support our body’s systems. Right now,supporting the immune system is a huge concern. So, most people would automatically go look up oils or chemical families that boost the immune system, like […]
Mosquito Season Safety
It’s that time of year! Time to start finding ways to keep those bugs off you and your family! Just today I’ve pulled one tick off me and my son found one on the floor! And we haven’t done anything more adventurous than go to the post office and drug store! We do live on […]
