In April, our topics are HAIR, SKIN, NAILS, and NUTRITION. Nutrition plays a very important part in keeping hair, skin, and nails healthy. Often when we focus on nutrition, healthy hair, skin, and nails will follow. This newsletter will focus on nutrition with an emphasis on hair, skin, and nails. The discussion will include essential oils, herbs, blessed waters, and supplements.See the full list of topics.
In March, our topics are ALLERGIES and ENERGY PROTECTION. Allergies are no fun and can even be dangerous. There are several things we can do this time of year to help our bodies be more prepared for the allergens that come with spring.
Energy Protection is something we should all learn about. Have you ever known someone that after they leave you just feel drained? Protecting your energy can help prevent this and a wide variety of health issues. See the full list of topics.
In February, our topics are DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, and SLEEP. Depression is a topic that is very near and dear to my heart. There is always a need, but it seems that at this time of year there is a particular need for things to combat depression and anxiety. Sleep can be a very important piece to fighting this battle. I have tried to pick the products that have been the most helpful to me over the years and I hope these things will help you as well.
In December, we will be talking about STRESS and FOOD POISONING. This is my absolute favorite time of year. I am not a fan of the cold and the snow, but I have a special love and adoration for the spirit of Christmas time. It is also a stressful time of year as there is so many extra undertakings to be fulfilled. I can’t even imagine navigating it without my oil friends. Food poisoning is another thing we seem to see a rise of this time of year, maybe because we are eating so many things that our bodies are not used to. We will talk about our must-haves for this as well.

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.
In August we will be talking about concentration and learning. I love the quote “Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.”
As we prepare for another school year it is a perfect time to study natural things that will aid in concentration, and improve the learning experience. Our discussion will include oils, herbs, minerals, and blessed waters. We will cover a wide range of topics including ADHD, memory aids, confidence, and fear of failure. Please see the index at the bottom for a more complete list of topics.
In July we will be talking about the amazing natural remedies for burns, sunburns, heat exhaustion, and other things you might need when spending time in the great outdoors. Learn about miracle salve (it really is miraculous) lavender, and neutralizer for the best sunburn relief ever. Did you know essential oils make amazing bug repellents and there are some great ones for treating bites too? This is where the Blessed Waters really shine.
In June we will be talking about gut health. Having a healthy digestive system is important. So much of our health depends upon nutrition – not just what we eat, but how what we eat is digested and absorbed (or not absorbed as the case may be). A healthy gut plays an important part in immune health.
In April our topics are cleaning and cleansing. This blog is full of many great products and ideas that you can use to clean your house, do your dishes, laundry, cleanse the air, and eliminate odors. And we aren’t just focusing on cleaning your house. A large part of this blog is dedicated to cleaning and cleansing your body, mind, and emotions. Learn about oils, tinctures, blessed waters, and other products that you can use to cleanse and detox your body, helping you to feel healthier and happier.
When we hear the term allergy, most people think of such symptoms as a runny nose, red and watering eyes, swelling of some tissues somewhere, rashes, hives, or some other form of itching. With no distinction made, the term allergy is also used to refer to more serious reactions to substances. More serious reactions include headaches, heart palpitations, and, eventually, anaphylactic shock. Among those who work with allergies, these two sets of symptoms are considered to be very separate categories with two separate names. This is true both in the medical world and among “alternative” practitioners, as well. The names most commonly used to distinguish the two categories are allergy and intolerance. Intolerances are sometimes referred to as sensitivities. More information can be found in the blog.
