April 10, 2018 in Essential Oils 2

Spring calls for all sorts of new beginnings in our lives, but none more prominent than the renewal of nature all around us. Look high and you see birds busily building their nests while down low sprouts burst out from the ground craving sunlight. While we prepare our bodies for the seasonal changes, many gardeners prep their green world for the growing season.

March 29, 2018 in Essential Oils 0

Though many people associate Eucalyptus with koala bears, the amazing properties of these leaves when steam distilled into an essential oil will astound you. Prized for its ability to open airways and support respiratory health, Eucalyptus has found a home in many products specifically noted for the lungs.

It is no wonder that Eucalyptus is considered to be a staple oil in any oil collection. (Just be sure to use caution if you have kids under the age of 6 in our house, as the camphor component of Eucalptus could slow breathing in younger children. As always, it is best to discuss its use with your trusted healthcare provider before using it on anyone with a medical condition or children under the age of 6.)
