Essential Oils - Lavender

Twenty-five years ago I started looking at alternative ways to health.  I checked out a lot of books from the library and started doing my own research.  I learned a lot of things but one of the major things I learned back then was  the body is made to health itself. Now, I need to say the body is made to heal itself with proper nutrition.

I have always felt that God put herbs and plants on the planet that would help with our healing. Our food source is so deplete of vitamins and minerals and so filled with chemicals that we really need to be taking super foods to give us what we need. One super food that our family has taken for years is Barley Green by AIM Corporation.  Now, we have added Ningxia Red Wolfberry juice which is the highest known antioxidant food, possessing an unmatched ability to abosrb injurious free radicals that attack the body.

I used to buy food from a coop and in their catalog they sold essential oils.  I was always interested in them but didn't purchase any because I wasn't sure how to use them.   A dear friend that I was in the coop with has been telling me recently about some essential oils she was using and the amazing results she was getting. So I joined the company (Young Living Essential Oils) and for a little over six months now I have been using the essential oils. I am really amazed at the results I am getting with these oils. From time to time, I will be sharing information about these oils and how they can improve your health.

As we get older, our blood becomes thicker. The first thing we need to do to thin our blood is to be drinking more water.  Divide your weight in half and that is the amount in ounces that you need to be drinking every day.  That will seem like a lot because none of us drink the amount of water that our bodies need but you can build into drinking that much. Then you can use one drop of lavender oil over your heart (rub it in) this will also thin your blood. No need to take the aspirin a day that the doctors recommend. If you are on a blood thinner do not use the lavender because it will make your blood too thin. 

Lavender also promotes tissue regeneration and speeds wound healing. I bit into a fried mushroom over the weekend and it was hotter than I realized and it burnt the heck out of my lower lip.  I came home and put lavender mixed with a little coconut oil on my lip and it immediately took out the burning and felt so much better. Before we got home a little blister was starting to form. I have applied the lavender several times and it is almost healed. Lavender also is an antifungal, analgesic, antitumoral, vasodilator, anti-inflammatory, reduces blood fat/cholesterol.

You can use lavender for calming (drop several drops in your bath water), respiratory infections, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, menstrual problems, eczema, psoriasis, scarring, stretch marks, burns, hair loss and insomina.

If you are interested in purchasing these oils I would appreciate it if you would contact me at ggschwartz2@juno.com.  I would be happy to sell you the oils or give you more information on how you can purchase your oils direct from the company.  Today, I have just talked about lavender but I can't wait to tell you about the other oils I have been using. I can also give you information on purchasing Barley Green and Ningxia Red Wolfberry juice.

If you have any major health problems always check with your physician before trying any of these oils.
