What's NEW ~ 2010 Updates

January ~ I'm constantly learning about these versatile healing essences. Just in the last two weeks I've made some TERRIFIC discoveries!

Early in the month I had a finger joint flare-up painfully...with arthritis or some sort of inflammation? It HURT! Decided I wasn't going to put up with that. Used two essential oils with almost instantaneous relief! Gosh, was I pleased and IMPRESSED....
• QUICK Relief for Sore, Inflamed Joints
Arthritis, Rheumatism, Injuries, etc.


My sweet kitty Jaeci's eyes were a bit watery a week or so ago. Certain viruses can cause those symptoms in cats.

It's not advisable to use essential oils on cats, because their liver physiology is VERY different than other mammals. Some essential oil compounds can be toxic, even deadly. But hydrosols (hydrolats) ~ essential waters obtained during the oils distillation process ~ are VERY therapeutic and extremely gentle.

If you're a cat lover or know someone who is, read how easily & quickly Rose hydrosol cleared up her eyes...
• Organic Rose Hydrosol
~ Kitty 1st Aid Purr…fection

I'm going to explore the healing possibilities of gentle hydrosols this next year, starting with myself and my family.


Every month I'm planning to add blog posts on my favorite essential oils, discussing their healing properties & therapeutic uses. Here are three articles in this series:

• GERANIUM Pelargonium graveolens
• LAVENDER (Lavendula angustifolia)
• GERMAN CHAMOMILE (Matricaria recutita)
