Blessed Waters for Harmony & Happiness

There are two blessed waters that you need to know about and as a mother, I carry them whenever I go very far from home.

Energy Alignment

This is a delightfully comprehensive remedy! The formulation acknowledges the reality that, so often, emotional issues and concerns are the catalyst for physical ailments and intolerances. The eight single remedies that comprise this combination remedy cover a full range of symptoms both physical and emotional. Once improvement is seen, it is advisable to determine which single remedy most closely matches the remaining symptoms and utilize that remedy in a deeper (higher) potency.

Rescue Remedy

Rescue Remedy is most effective when used on the occasion of any profound trauma or emergency in helping the person cope with extreme pain and shock. It brings immediate calm and helps with the physical and emotional aspects of shock. It is also useful for energy work when the client becomes too involved in the trauma they are trying to work on. I have also found this remedy to be a wonderful resource for children who are upset or frightened.  This is a perfect tool to take home for the holidays if going home stresses you out in any way.  I love it for any situation that causes anxiety.  Try it and you will not be disappointed.

There are four digestive blessed waters and also carbo veg which is for food poisoning.  These are great blessed waters to keep around, especially during the holidays.

Carbo vegetabilis

Indicated for persons who have not fully recovered or are suffering from a chronic or serious illness. Vitality is low and they are exhausted by the slightest activity. Lie down frequently during the day, often falling asleep. Sleep, however, is unrefreshing. A strong keynote is that the face is unusually pale and cold but with a rapid pulse. In severe cases, the lips have a blue tinge and respiration slows. Diarrhea followed by frequent vomiting and diarrhea improved.

Digestive #1

Meant to improve absorption of trace minerals and is specific for treating children (or occasionally adults) with Geophage or Pica (the consumption of non-edibles such as dust, clay, paint flakes, glue, or hair.)

Digestive #2

For treatment of intestinal disturbances such as intense nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headache, and low-grade fever. If fever & headache persist, it is recommended to seek medical assistance.

Digestive #3

Digestive difficulties with symptoms such as loud rumbling, burning, severe pain after eating (usually right-sided), flatulence, pyloric valve stenosis, and construction in the esophagus. Can be useful in removing scar tissue and obstructions.

Digestive #4

A general digestive remedy. Consider for any and all symptoms including gnawing hunger and hypoglycemia. Specifically for situations in which symptoms are better with food in the stomach, and worse when the stomach is empty. Difficulties are often emotionally driven.

Odd note: the smell of food is nauseating, but eating makes the stomach feel better.

This is a favorite blend of many people. By letting go of negative emotions, we can create feelings of tolerance and compassion towards the faults and foibles of the human race, including ourselves. Regular use of this essential oil blend can help us develop feelings of trust, safety, and security.

^LeLetting Go aids us in “letting go” of negative emotions that we are holding onto in the physical tissues of our bodies. Use ^LeLetting Go to aid in the release of anger, frustration, resentment, despair, grief, insecurity, or any other emotion that is not serving you well.

Letting go of the emotional baggage that we don’t need can have an energizing effect on the colon, kidneys, liver, and gallbladder in particular. Holding on to negativity from the past can be the root cause of constipation. (See the stomach section of this blog) Fear can cause the kidneys and the bladder to function below optimum levels. Clogging in the liver and gallbladder creates a multitude of physical problems.

^LeReflections is very much a kidney and bladder essential oil.  Urinary infections and inflammation in the bladder often occur during times of stress, particularly relationship stresses. The kidneys are also involved with the production of red blood cells affecting energy levels and our ability to give and receive love.

The fluids in the body are believed to have a direct correspondence with emotions. It is the function of the kidneys to remove emotions, especially negative ones, that are no longer serving and protecting us. The resentment created by past events, fear of the future, fear of being inadequate and unable to accomplish upcoming tasks, and fear that you are being attacked or prevented from being the independent individual that you would like to be are a few of the many negative emotions which may “drown” us when the kidneys are failing in their proper function.

^LeUnity should be diffused in groups where incompatibility or quarrelsomeness is a problem. Use it in the home to increase peace and cooperation between children and family members.

^LeUnity promotes harmony within ourselves, with others around us, and with our Creator. It helps us work with others in a relationship of cooperation, patience, and tolerance. This is the greatest essential oil product I know of for fostering a sense of physical and mental well-being. It can rid us of stubbornness, anger, judgment, and jealousy. Frequent use can promote unity among family members. This essential oil blend has to be experienced to be believed.

Cypress is a wonderful healer for the spirit. It brings the feeling that each new day is a fresh start on our road to glowing life and health. Change is a part of life. Times of transition can be positive if we allow them to be. If we struggle against the changes, trying to hang on to what was, our life can feel like an unending struggle. Interestingly, Cypress—while not a sedative—is useful for insomnia. Perhaps the optimism it brings quiets the usual worry that is keeping one awake.

Cypress is considered in many cultures to be symbolic of life after death and guidance from a supreme being. The aroma of Cypress can help seek guidance and inspiration from heavenly sources. It may be useful when facing death or other separations. The aroma of Cypress opens us to direction from heaven. Cypress can help soften unbending and inflexible attitudes.

Mandarin promotes feelings of deep happiness. This personal happiness often manifests in our lives as kindness and gentleness with all living things. Mandarin also provides a firmness and a sense of self that allows personal growth and spiritual development.  Mandarin essential oil is a gentle and supportive healer.

This oil is an especially good choice for those who tend to dwell in the past. It is also good for those who tend to dwell on past emotional traumas. They have survived the trauma, but they have not thrived. Mandarin can help us achieve a state of mind where we are able to build or repair our relationships, especially with the children and the elderly in our lives.

Sometimes, in an attempt to cover insecurities within ourselves, or to cover past hurts, we hold onto situations or people so tightly that they feel they must struggle to be free. Palmarosa helps us to embrace change and let go. Since we live in an ever-changing world, there are many times when we must let go of the old way of doing and being in order to move forward and grow. If we are constantly “letting go and letting God” direct our lives for our good, we will not just be changing, we will be growing toward the best we can be. Our success and happiness will be inevitable and assured.

Palmarosa can help us enjoy being versatile and adaptable as we move through the changes that life always brings. This strength within oneself reduces stress and tension and eliminates the sort of nervous exhaustion that resisting life creates. If you have already exhausted yourself in the struggle against change, try Palmarosa—or blends containing it—to balance and strengthen yourself. The lovely aroma of this essential oil promotes recovery and strengthens resolve.

Salt

Salt is used to create protein in the blood,  and to create hydrochloric acid in the stomach.  Hydrochloric acid is used to break down food and absorb other nutrients.  Salt is used to carry water around the body where it is needed including to the digestive system so you do not become constipated.   One thing worth noting is that salt requires potassium for absorption by the body.  Potassium can be found in fruits and veggies.

Peppermint

Peppermint has long been regarded as a tonic for the stomach.  It is a wonderful tonic for the digestive system because it increases the flow of digestive juices and bile and is relaxing to the intestinal tract. My favorite way to use peppermint is as a tea with lemon or honey or even both.  Tea takes time and sometimes we don’t have it so it is nice to be able to use the oil.   Smell or use with a carrier oil on the tummy.  Peppermint is also available as a tincture – both regular and glycerin.   Taking them on a daily basis is a great way to strengthen the stomach over time.  The glycerin is particularly nice for children who get frequent tummy aches.

Oils

There are three major oils that come to mind for stomach stress.  The first one is ^LeInsideOut.  It is usually the first one that I grab for me.  While it can be used for children I typically like to start with ^LeJulia for children.  ^LeEZ Traveler is a great oil for motion sickness and should be brought on long trips.  It is also an amazing oil for stomach issues that have emotional roots.

Supplements

Digestive Ultimate is an enzyme-based supplement that helps optimize nutrient absorption.  Plant Enzymes is a comprehensive blend of enzymes that helps to support proper digestion and is specially formulated for a vegetarian diet.  The last supplement is a probiotic.  Probiotic bacteria are critical for healthy digestion, help maintain the integrity of the intestinal lining, support proper intestinal motility, and participate in the detoxification process.

Bach Flowers Blessed Waters

Typically bach flower remedies test up, six at a time and can be made into one remedy specific for the person they were tested for.  These have been a huge blessing in my life and helped me through some really emotional patches.
