November 2022 – Gratitude/Self Care

In November we will be talking about GRATITUDE and SELF CARE. I have always been grateful to a loving Creator who established this world in such a way that the things we need for balance and health in every aspect of our lives are everywhere around us. However, I don’t believe that God requires our gratitude for His glory. The commandment to be grateful is an example of God explaining to us what is best for our own souls. If you don’t do it already, try doing all that you do in this alternative medical world with a large measure of gratitude.  I hope that the products we discuss this month will help you take time for yourself and I hope that you will use them and share them with gratitude.

Salve Sampler

This is a very exciting new product and it couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time when we are talking about self-care.  This is a perfect way to try all four salves.  Let me tell you a bit about each.

BHM Salve is a very effective, all-purpose salve. It is used to aid the healing of sprains, breaks, skin rashes, and minor burns. The 12 herbs in this salve contain a lot of nutrients and especially high amounts of calcium and magnesium, which bones, muscles, and tissue need to heal. The use of this salve can greatly speed up the healing process. Read More about BHM Salve

BHM Plus Salve has all the same herbs as the BHM salve, with 4 additional herbs that are specific to infections and suppurating sores. This is a very potent salve! It is better at drawing out infections than anything I have ever seen on the market—both herbal and otherwise. This salve is strong enough to handle even widespread infections.  Read More about BHM Plus Salve

CM Salve is a basic salve for healing non-open wounds such as breaks and sprains. It is particularly good for rashes and skin irritations of many varieties. CM can be layered with Arnica oil if there is swelling. Consider using the BHM salve, instead of or along with, this one for injuries.  Read More about CM Salve

Miracle Salve contains 5 very amazing herbs, Comfrey, Lobelia, Mullein, Oregon Grape, and Plantain. This salve was made specifically for treating burns and has been used on everything from mild sunburns to very severe burns. If I were to only have 1 herbal salve in my home it would be this one.  Read More about Miracle Salve


Bath SaltsButterfly Dust Bath Salts

Bath Salts and Bath Bombs are a great way to relax and take some time for yourself.  When they contain essential oils it is even better.  The other day I was relaxing in my tub with my favorite bath bomb (LeDeeper) and I thought, how wonderful is this?   Then I thought how in the world do people survive without essential oils?  I was using it to back off a headache that was threatening to turn into a migraine and it was perfect.

There are five different bath salts and they are made from 5 of the most popular Butterfly Blends.

LeDeeper

This oil contains penetrating, anti-inflammatory oils that aid in relieving pain that is deep in the tissues and nerves. It is useful for sciatica, arthritis, osteoarthritis, sprains, and injuries where there is bruising and/or nerve damage.  LeDeeper increases blood and lymph circulation to the extremities, making it an effective choice for neuropathy and fibromyalgia. This blend often brings instant relief when applied to the abdomen and back for pre-menstrual cramps. This is my favorite for tight tired muscles.

LeHeartSong

Has a high frequency and reminds us that we are loved and cherished by many people, and certainly by Heaven. It is wonderful for getting through a tough time or just making it to the end of a difficult day. This oil is quite effective as a protection against negative energy that you might be picking up from others at home or on the job. It is also a great benefit in treating depression and overcoming grief and trauma.

LeMillenia

Builds courage, confidence, and self-esteem while being calming and relaxing at the same time. “Chiropractor in a bottle” is a good description of this blend except that LeMillenia aligns so much more than just physical structures. It aligns the electrical energies of the body, balances every meridian, and energizes every chakra. LeMillenia maintains the integrity of the connective tissues that wrap, connect, and protect every organ and balances emotions.  LeDeeper is my favorite bath oil so I usually choose it as my bath bomb or bath salt but I often add a few drops of LeMillenia or use half of each.  This is the nice thing about bath salts, they are easy to split.

LeSweet Relief

Was blended with essential oils known to help alleviate stress and tension. All of the essential oils contained in this blend are excellent anti-inflammatory oils and are antispasmodic, making it wonderful for pain relief, soothing inflamed tissues, and aiding circulation. This is the oil I use for my wrists when I am spending too much time on the computer.  I love this blend but I confess I have not used it as a bath salt or bath bomb yet.  I can tell you it is one of the top sellers so I am dumb not to try it.

LeTranquility

This oil is excellent for a relaxing bath. It can help us develop inner strength, patience, understanding, and confidence. LeTranquility promotes relaxation and relieves anxiety, stress, tension, and depression. LeTranquility is useful as a sleep aid.  This is a great bath salt or bath bomb to use to prevent a panic attack or to recover after one.


Gem Essences

Gem Essences

Gem Essences are energetic preparations that preserve the healing capacities of the gem, mineral, or crystal for which they are named. Like all Blessed Water preparations, the Gem Essences act first on the structures of the energetic body—and, secondly, on the physical body. In doing so, they balance and harmonize every aspect of our emotions and mental capacities, as well.

Unlike the flower remedies that are made from flowers, of course, the Gem essences are made from precious stones and gems.

Renowned herbalists around the world and over the centuries have recognized the shape, color, and structure of a plant tell us much about the healing properties of plants. They recognized as well that families of plants—those similar in important ways to each other—have both similar characteristics and attributes that are uniquely their own. Certainly, this is true of the mineral kingdom, as well. Energetic remedies of the mineral kingdom bring us great gifts of structure and stability in our emotions and in our physical bodies.  You can read about the 48 GEM ESSENCE Remedies by clicking on this link.


Gift Bags

Housewarming Essential Oil Blend

LeHousewarming, diffused, creates an atmosphere of welcome and warmth in a home or office. This blend stimulates our thinking and encourages us to seek new solutions to problems and to look at long-standing relationships in new ways.

Gently, insistently stimulating, LeHousewarming strengthens the immune systems of those present by removing free radicals and stimulating T-lymphocyte activity and immunoglobulin production. The Cassia, which is the signature essential oil in this blend, is renowned as a powerful oxygenator. Cassia is also considered to be a cardiovascular tonic and is known to be one of the most strongly antimicrobial essential oils. It is amazing to me that something that fills the home with such a wonderful aroma can be so good for us at the same time.


Salve 15 percent

Autumn Essential Oil

It is that time of year when we can finally diffuse LeAutumn.  Whether we are feeling depressed or just have slow, low emotions, LeAutumn lifts us up to a warm, safe space where we are able to bring our expectations to a realistic level. LeAutumn should be used for depression and anxiety and is particularly effective when the depression is triggered by low self-esteem and a feeling that we cannot measure up. This is an amazing oil after an argument, trauma, or painful loss.

Enjoy the wonderful smells of coffee, cassia, and sweet orange. While this blend contains no vanilla, it definitely has vanilla caramel-like notes. LeAutumn brings out our inner confidence and makes us feel loved and protected while reminding us of all we have been blessed with. Diffusing LeAutumn can help lift us out of a depressed state. It is stimulating to the lymphatic and immune systems, and beneficial for insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

Bountiful Essential Oil

LeBountiful is specifically designed to affect the energy fields around us and to help us achieve a frequency that attracts goodness into our lives.

LeBountiful is an aid to our thinking clearly about money issues and lessens the stress in these areas. One of the most outstanding effects of this blend is the feeling of abundance that it creates in our minds and spirits. It simply moderates, or evaporates altogether, any feeling that there is never going to be enough and that there is certainly not enough for everybody to have what they think they need. The absence of these fearful feelings helps us eliminate even the slightest tendencies to greed and selfishness.

Benevolence is the best word I can find to describe the feeling this blend creates. We find ourselves able to let go of our fear of trusting others, being dependent on them, or needing to ask for help. LeBountiful has a profound effect on the things we worry about and how we choose to respond to these situations.

Grateful Heart Essential Oil

 LeGrateful Heart promotes feelings of gratitude for all that we have and all that others do for us. It has a marked effect on the dark clouds of depression. It can be used to relax the mind and body.

This is the perfect blend to diffuse at family gatherings events and parties. LeGrateful Heart is relaxing and creates tender feelings of empathy, gratitude, tolerance, and compassion.

Dissatisfaction and discontentment are destructive to the nervous and immune systems. LeGrateful Heart addresses these imbalances and can provide support and healing for these feelings. LeGrateful Heart is used to stabilize the blood sugar lows of hypoglycemia. It has been used effectively in the treatment of some auto-immune disorders.

Cinnamon Berry Essential Oil

Cinnamon Berry is useful in treating stress-related conditions such as headaches, insomnia, indigestion, and nervous tension.

Cinnamon Berry acts as a stimulant to circulation. Increased circulation can be beneficial for arthritis, muscle and joint stiffness, inflamed or painful joints, muscles, and sprains. Cinnamon Berry is said to improve appetite. Cinnamon Berry, like Cinnamon Bark, is antimicrobial but is less caustic and irritating, especially to the sinus passageway.  I prefer the aroma of Cinnamon Berry to that of the bark because it is softer and sweeter.

Cinnamon Berry should be diluted well when applied to the body. The application can be on the feet or directly on areas of pain or poor circulation.  Use caution if pregnant.

Juniper Berry Essential Oil

Juniper Berry essential oil is suited for people who fear growing up or growing older. The use of Juniper Berry essential oil is about maturing into wisdom; not just ordinary wisdom but wisdom with compassion. It is about cultivating an understanding of the continuity of life, coupled with a sense of humor. Juniper gives us a feeling of gratitude for the privilege to have learned from the experiences and lessons of life. Juniper Berry helps to elevate spiritual awareness and reverence for sacred things. It can open the soul to direction by inspiration and religious principles.

This is one oil that I just love to smell.  Whenever I am near a juniper tree I pinch the berries to keep the smell on my fingers longer. Juniper Berry is said to improve mental clarity and memory without undue stimulation to the nervous system. In fact, Juniper Berry is quite relaxing.

Nutmeg Essential OilNutmeg supports the adrenal glands, giving one increased vitality and the ability to cope with stress. Nutmeg’s affinity for the digestive system makes it useful for bacterial infections, chronic diarrhea, gallstones, sluggish digestion, and poor assimilation of nutrients

Nutmeg supports and strengthens the immune function. The improvement in circulation that Nutmeg can bring about is often helpful for vertigo and fainting spells. This increased circulation can improve the function of joints and muscles and improve concentration and mental alertness.

Nutmeg should be used with extreme caution. If overused or diffused for too long a period of time, Nutmeg has been known to cause confusion, delirium, or even convulsions. It can overstimulate the heart and cardiovascular system if used too frequently or for too long. It should be used with extreme caution, or not at all, during pregnancy and never if epileptic. ALWAYS dilute well! In other words, Nutmeg is a really great oil when used in a blend!

Gift Bags

2 Oil Gift Bags

The 2 oil gift bags are perfect to share with friends and family.  They also make great stocking stuffers and gifts.  Unlike the 3-oil kits that contain full-size bottles, the 2-oil kits are 1/2 size helping to keep them really affordable.

LeSego Lily is my ultimate relaxing oil and it is paired with LeWeightless making it perfect for people carrying heavy emotional burdens.

There are 11 sets to choose from.


Featured Blend

Acknowledge Essential Oil

LeAcknowledge Essential Oil

Because it balances the heart and sacral chakras, LeAcknowledge can help us recognize and accept the love and sympathy that people around us are trying to express. For those of us with very independent natures, it may help us with the ability to let others be of service to us.

Increased balance in the throat chakra allows us to express our own feelings and needs and to express feelings of appreciation and gratitude for the services we receive.

Balance in these areas may also bring relief from feelings of frustration, self-pity, insecurity, hopelessness, inadequacy, and feeling that we are being overwhelmed by the responsibilities of our lives. This allows us to feel enthusiasm for new things and to expect to find joy and abundance in our lives.

LeAcknowledge has a cleansing effect on the liver it may be useful for allergies and other mild immune system dysfunctions. Any ailment that has anger as an underlying emotional component, which many physical ailments do, would benefit from the use of LeAcknowledge. Kidney and bladder problems such as frequent infections and cystitis, with their emotional connection to fear and feelings of inadequacy, often respond favorably to this blend. The use of this essential oil blend may not only relieve the discomfort of the moment but will also help lessen the likelihood and frequency of future attacks.


Featured Single

Sandalwood Essential Oil

Sandalwood Essential Oil

Sandalwood has a very high sesquiterpene percentage. As it crosses the blood/brain barrier it increases oxygen around the pineal and pituitary glands and stimulates the amygdala. This has a profound effect on attitude and emotion. Sandalwood can help us focus outward, loving and accepting others with a full heart. Sandalwood increases our desire to ponder and then act on the perceptions and impressions we have received. (Problem-solving is an action of the amygdala.)

The energy of Sandalwood vibrates between the crown chakra and the base chakra. This makes it both grounding and energizing to the physical body and to the mind. Sandalwood is often used in yoga disciplines and in meditation because it enhances our ability to look inside ourselves and be honest about what we see there. The aroma of Sandalwood strengthens the astral body, which is the Chinese way of saying that it improves communication between the physical body and the energetic languages of the mind and spirit.

Sandalwood has the ability to go into the DNA of the cells and unlock emotional trauma. It can help us curb manipulative or controlling tendencies in our personalities. Sandalwood essential oil alleviates depression, anxiety, and nervous exhaustion.

Some of the many uses of Sandalwood include bladder and throat infections, bronchitis, tuberculosis, cystitis, and fluid retention. Sandalwood is an excellent skin and tissue-regenerating oil. Sandalwood should probably be part of any program for a chronic type of illness.
