Essential oils are wonderful things. Their ability to affect our emotions, enhance communication, or bolster our courage are just some of the reasons I love them. One of the best books I have ever read for improving relationships is the book The Five Languages of Love by Gary Chapman. In this blog we will look at these five love languages and then address some of the underlying emotions that might make speaking them to our loved ones difficult for us. This time of year often focuses on romantic relationships. These love languages and accompanying oils can be of great benefit in all our relationships. They have been invaluable to me with my children. You can learn more about these languages here.
February is one of the hardest times of the year for many people, myself included. Depression and other mental challenges are often worse at this time of year. As a result, it is particularly important for each of us to give some focus to Boosting Mental Health. It is important to make sure we are giving ourselves, and those we care for, the nutrients necessary and the emotional support that will help us through the sometimes dismal days of winter. Essential oils, herbs, and homeopathics can do so much for each of us in these areas. I am frequently grateful for my herbal upbringing, particularly at this time of year and during times of these types of struggles.

In October we will be talking about Respiratory and Flu.

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.
