Want to Stop a Sore Throat in Minutes?

Unlike over the counter medication, Essential Oils will help your sore throat go away in minutes AND they boost your immune system. If you feel a sore throat coming on here’s what you do…

Grab your Tea Tree essential oil. (This is an oil never to be without!)

This works best if you do this therapy the very second you feel any sort of itching, scratching, or soreness in your throat. If you catch it right at the very beginning you will attack those pesky germs before they have a change to move in, get comfortable, and colonize your throat.  If you leave your bottle of Tea Tree at home and then while out and about you feel that scratchy throat coming on, then you won’t be able to fight off those germs before they colonize.  I suggest you carry a bottle of Tea Tree around with you (it’s fantastic for cuts, scrapes, and wounds to).  Don’t feel like carrying that huge 10 ml bottle around?  Then keep some Tea Tree in either this: which is a 1 dram, or roughly 1 teaspoon, (75 cents each with dropper top) or this:

which is a 5/8 dram and is small enough to slip into your pocket or purse and take it everywhere with you (70 cents each with orifice reducer top).

Contact me if you need these bottles.

So, you’ve got your Tea Tree and you feel a scratch in your throat. Get a half a drop on your (clean) finger and then put your finger in your mouth and suck the Tea Tree off your finger.  Swish the Tea Tree around in your mouth for a couple seconds, then hold it at the back of your throat there where those germs are trying to set up shop.  Hold it there for at least 20 seconds or more, then swallow it.

The secret to making this work is to use small amounts of Tea Tree, but to apply it often. So every single minute for 10 minutes you will repeat this process by taking a small amount (half a drop) and put it in your mouth and swish and hold and swallow.

You can also put a drop on your throat (externally) over each tonsil area and gently rub it in.

What I have just described to you is Dr. Penoel’s Tea Tree Lick.

If you do this chances are that in 10 minutes you will no longer have a sore throat and you will probably not get sick either.  Pretty cool and worth 10 minutes out of your day!

Do You Want to Sleep Better?

Do You Want To Feel and Sleep Better?

Have you ever been restless at night?

Have you ever woke up in the morning feeling like you got no rest during the night?

Have you ever woken up with aches and pains?

You have got to try this!!!

We are energy beings. Every cell in our body runs on energy (and can be measured in Megahertz [MHz]).  Our life force energy is what makes us alive.  We also have energy auras that go out from our bodies anywhere from 5 to 10 feet depending on your vitality.  We also have energy centers, or chakras that are large energy centers up and down our bodies.  (If you just rolled your eyes and thought, “Yeah, right!” I urge you to research it for yourself.)  All of this is known and is scientifically proven with kirlian photography and Quantum Science and is highly researched.

Understanding how this energy affects us is a key part to understanding our health or lack thereof.

So do you want to feel better?  Let me show you how you can.

Our energy fields strongly affect how we feel.  When our energy is strong and vibrant we feel healthy (we are healthy), strong, happy, and safe.  When our energy is low it brings us too many issues to name.  Lack of energy, depression, aches, pains, illness are just a few.

So if for any reason our energy fields are low…and we go to say…the mall, the movie theater,  restaurant, etc… There are lots of low energy “pockets” hanging out in places like these.  So if your energy dips low for any reason and you are in a place where there are other negative energy pockets, they will actually be attracted to your low energy (vibrating on the same frequency) and they will attach to you.

Now when you head home you take home more than what you bargained for. It’s possible to pick up low energy pockets and not only do they pull your energy down and keep you down, but they go home with you – pulling the energy in your home down.  Not only that, but if you don’t clear them before going to bed they will go to bed with you too.

The negative energy, if left on you all night, will like a parasite suck your energy from you all night. I know the thought of something sucking your energy all night is not a pleasant one, but it may just be the case.  So not only does your body not rejuvenate itself (what it is designed to do) it will age, lose energy, and lose vibration over night.  That’s why some people wake up still very tired from a night’s sleep – something was sucking their energy all night long.  That’s why some people wake up with aches and pains, and that’s why some people sleep very restlessly.

Our Internationally Certified Aromatherapist, and Master Blender (and boy, is she GOOOD! Far better than anyone else I’ve ever seen!!) shared this with us.  She just finished this seminar in Salt Lake, she taught us a method of how to very simply clear negative energy with essential oils and fill the clearing with good, high vibrational energy so your body can rest and rejuvenate at night, and then seal in that good energy.  Honestly I thought, “Good idea in theory…but would that work?”

So I went right home and I put it to the test. My husband and I have been sleeping a bit restlessly, we’ve both been under some stress.  My husband always wakes up with an aching back, most times his hip and wrist hurt too.  He’s had some injuries to these areas so we just assumed it was due to injury.

So right before we went to sleep I did this very simple clearing with the essential oils. It only took 2 minutes and was soooooo simple to do.  I went to bed thinking, “I don’t know if that really did anything besides make it smell really good in here.”

Now you must know that I am not a morning person. Usually I find it hard to get out of bed around 8:00 AM.  I probably would sleep later if I didn’t have to get up and get kids off to school.  I NEVER wake up early.  It is really unheard of.  So you can imagine my surprise when I woke up, fairly awake at 5:30 AM.  I was surprised because I felt well rested and ready to get up.  But I knew that couldn’t be possible so I rolled over and went back to sleep.  Both my husband and I woke up at 6:30 and just looked at each other.  I was wide awake, ready to get up…but I felt so rested and good.  My husband, after getting over the shock of me being alert at that hour, realized he too felt so rested and good.  He also had NO pain.  NO aches…none at all!  That in itself is a miracle!  We both woke up and felt so good.  It felt like we were surrounded with good energy.  We got the best night’s sleep ever!  It was so amazing!

So I had to get on here and let you know how you too can enjoy such a delightful and restful sleep, how you can not age, and how you can FEEL BETTER overnight.

Here is how you do the clearing:

There are 3 new blends created for this purpose:  You mix each of them up in a glass mister bottle (so you will need 3 misters for this).

The recipe for all of them is

4 oz. of steam distilled water in glass mister bottle

add 12-16 drops of the essential oil blend to the water and shake well.

By the way — if you want to buy these 4 oz. prefilled and labeled bottles — I will make them for you.  I use cobalt blue glass bottles with fine mist sprayers, they work really well.  Guardian is $6.00, Cherished Space is $6.00, and Finishing Oil is $8.00, or $20.00 for all three.

Or you can just get the empty bottles form me and make them yourself.

These 4 oz. empty cobalt blue glass bottles with fine mist sprayers are $1.10 each.  I also have 2 oz size available for $1.00 each.

You will create a separate mister for each oil, you don’t want to mix these oil blends in one bottle.  Then you shake it up really good before each application and voila!  You’re ready to clear some negative energy!  Spray them all over whatever you want cleared.  Last night I misted both my husband and myself, then I misted our entire bed (with the sheets pulled down), then I misted quickly around the bedroom.  Be sure to do them in order.  First you mist the area with Guardian, then Cherished Space, and then Finishing Oil.  Here’s why:

Guardian Oil Blend (this is not the old Guardian blend that smelled like cinnamon – this blend is completely different and smells completely different, do not use the old Guardian blend for this)  – is used in a mister and sprayed around the room, bed, person, or area.  It will effectively clean and clear the space of negative energy.  This is what removes the negative stuff out of your house and off you.

Cherished Space Oil Blend – is used in a mister and sprayed next around the room, bed, person, or area.  It is the blend formulated to fill the cleared space with positive, good, high vibrational energy.

Finishing Oil – is used in a mister and sprayed around last the room, bed, person, or area.  This oil will seal and protect your sacred space form any negative energy.  It will prevent negative energy from coming back.

But think about the possibilities. You can do this to your whole house and have much better energy in your home.  You can also just do this to yourself where ever you go.  I have been completely amazed at well well these oils work.  I encourage you to try them!

Do Essential Oils Work?

Many people don’t fully understand what essential oils can do in our bodies.  I have created this resource for you to help everyone understand essential oils better.

I’ve been asked many times, “Do Essential Oils really work?”

In answer to that question let me share 3 of my personal experiences with you.

Let me start off with when my sister called me driving home from the doctor’s office after her 4 month old baby was just diagnosed with RSV. That is a scary diagnosis, as we know RSV can end you up in the hospital for days or more with a little one. The doctor had only given her baby an antibiotic for an ear infection and nothing else.  RSV is a virus, and an antibiotic does nothing for it.

Her baby had an audible rattle in her chest, very sick for a week or so, and was coughing horribly. I gave her 3 essential oils to use, this was a Saturday morning. On Monday morning she had another appointment with the doctor to check on the child. My sister treated her 4 month old with only 3 oils. She called me and told me her baby had noticeably improved. On Monday morning when she left the doctor’s office again she called me and told me the doctor said she wasn’t sick anymore – the RSV was gone! In only 2 ½ days with the use of 3 essential oils RSV was completely stopped. – Amazing isn’t it?

My husband works construction and had hurt his shoulder lifting a very heavy, large custom door.  He was in constant pain deep in his shoulder joint.  He could barely raise his arm at all and only with a lot of pain.  I treated him with 2 oils and that night he felt better — some relief — but the next morning while he was in the shower his shoulder popped, and he was completely out of pain and has been since that one treatment.  In my book that’s incredible!

I used to get migrane headaches.  They were so bad that I was completely dibilitated for the day. I would vomit because of the intense pain.  Any of you who have had migranes will understand how truely miserable they are!  I started using one essential oil to treat them and when I would feel one coming on (I could actually feel them in the pit of my stomach before my head would start to hurt).  I would inhale this oil and within 10-15 minutes my migrane would be gone.  I was so amazed because nothing worked like that!  But the most amazing thing is that I don’t get migranes anymore.  I think it’s been a year and a half since I’ve had one.  I believe essential oils help our bodies heal from the root issue of the problem, and I’ve been able to clear up my migranes — a miracle!

So when people sk me if essential oils really work I tell them a resounding YES they do. I believe they are more amazing than any of us fully understand.  They can help with almost ANY physical, mental, or emotional situation.

A Word of Caution

Certification Training

I have been lucky enough to be given the very rare opportunity to be studying to become an Internationally Certified Aromatherapist, with french Medical Training.  It is alot of work but I am blown away by how cool aromatherapy is!

Over the years, as I have studied aromatherapy, I have paid for training form people who were NOT Certified Aromatherapists (just not knowing any better).  They were people who had been working with essential oils for years, and claimed to be “Experts”.  But as I am now learning the proper Aromatherapy Certification Training I would offer a piece of advice to people who are new to aromatherapy:

It was only when I began studying true aromatherapy principles from a Certified Aromatherapist that I could see that those self-proclaimed essential oil “gurus” or “experts” out there really don’t teach true aromatherapy, nor do they practice hardly any safety or toxicology standards.  I would offer a word of caution about what ANYONE who is not certified in Aromatherapy teaches.

I, myself, got caught up in learning from a self-proclaimed “expert” for awhile . . . just be careful.  I have learned that some of the things I was taught were incorrect and some things I was taught by them are just down right dangerous.

If you are interested in learning true aromatherapy from an Internationally Certified Aromatherapist contact me and I will get you information so you can begin your true Aromatherapy training.

Jojoba

Dispelling the Jojoba Myth:

• Jojoba is NOT used as a dilutor

Some people dilute their oils, this is true (but not with jojoba).  When companies dilute their oils they use a carrier oil such as Almond Oil, Grape Seed Oil, or Hemp Seed Oil, etc.  When oils are diluted it does lessens their shelf life.

• Jojoba Increases Shelf Life

Jojoba oil is actually not an oil at all.  It’s a liquid wax and as such it has an infinite shelf life.  (You can look it up yourself in Wikipedia online.)  When Jojoba Oil is used it actually increases the shelf life of the essential oils.

• Jojoba is More Expensive than Most Essential Oils

Pure high grade Jojoba, like the Jojoba used in TRUessence Essential Oil Blends, is more expensive than most other Essential Oils.  It is a neccessary ingredient and it has a reason to be there.

• Jojoba is Used in Small Amounts

Jojoba is used in some of our blends in very small amounts (like 2 oz. in a 32oz batch), it is not used to extend or dilute.  Jojoba is never used in single oils, and it is only used in some of the blends if there’s a reason for it.

There are 3 Reasons for Putting Jojoba Oil in an Essential Oil Blend:

1. It is used in blends when they have a lot of Citrus or Pine oils. These oils oxidize faster and go bad faster than other Essential Oils.  Jojoba is a liquid wax.  It does not go rancid.  It has an indefinite shelf life and acts as a preservative to keep the oils from going bad and will actually extend the life of essential oils.
2. Some blends have very powerful oils in them – it’s like having a bunch of powerful men for a meeting and putting them in an elevator to work.  Jojoba gives these powerful oils breathing room to work and do what they are supposed to do.  This “breathing” room gives the oils the chance to work more effectively. For example: Fine Wine needs room to breathe to be its best; Concentrated Orange Juice must be given breathing room in water to be its best.
3. The Blend has strong, irritating oils in it. Jojoba is used to prevent irritation of the skin when applied (for example: Joy & Abundance).   When an experienced, Certified Aromatherapist and Master Blender creates a blend that is super hot and will cause burning on the skin – and knowing people will apply it to their skin right out of the bottle – it would be irresponsible for them not to put a bit of Jojoba so people don’t hurt themselves.  This applies only to blends, and not to the single Essential Oils.

Remember there is not a lot of Jojoba used in a blend…just enough to do the job.  Jojoba oil is never used in any singles, it is only used in some blends.  If it is in a blend it is in there for a specific reason, as an ingredient (never a dilutor).  If Jojoba is in one of our TRUessence Blends it will always be on the label.

Quality is everything with essential oils.  Like with many things you get what you pay for. If you walk into a store and they have very cheap essential oils, then guess what? — They have very cheap essential oils.  Cheap essential oils (or really anything less than medicinal grade essential oils) do not offer you all the healing benefits that true Medicinal Essential Oils offer.  That is why there are those who say, “I have tried essential oils and they do not work.”  Well, what quality did they use?  Very cheap essential oils have very little, if any healing benefits.  But just wait till you use Medicinal Grade Oils.  The difference is clear, and the Oils are amazing!

Peppermint

Now ForeverGreen’s TRUessence has Essential Oil of Peppermint that comes from France where the menthol levels are naturally much higher.  (Remember, we never add synthetic or chemical ingredients to “boost” oils.)  That means that you will have increased pain relief when using our medicinal grade Peppermint.

Peppermint is one of those “universal” essential oils that can be used for Oh, so many things!

• It is stimulating for your body.  Use for a quick pick-me-up or when you need to stay alert.  But remember, don’t put it around your eye area, it really stings for a minute if it gets in your eye!
• Peppermint has a particular capacity to oxygenate the blood.  This makes it extremely effective for headaches, stress, and depression.
• Use Peppermint around temples and back of neck for instant headache relief.  You can follow it with lavender for a complete headache treatment — works great!
• It is also one of the main ingredients in the liver cleanse.
• You can use this Peppermint neat for great pain relief on joint pain. Or you can use it in this blend: Mix 8 drops Peppermint, 6 drops Oregano, and 4 drops Lavender, mixed into 1 Tablespoon of Carrier oil.  Apply on joint pain.

Take a Bath!

One of my favorite ways to use Essential Oils is to use them in a bath.

With only a couple drops of Nature’s finest Essential Oils you can turn your bath tub into a healing and rejuvenating spa treatment.  You can use all kinds of Essential Oils in your bath, but I’m throwing out this healing bath recipe for your consideration:

Healing Bath
Into 1 cup of Dead Sea Salts mix (these are the healthiest salts for your body, but you can also use Sea Salt)
4 drops Rosemary essential oil
4 drops Chamomile essential oil (you can use either German or Roman Chamomile)
4 drops Lavender essential oil
With your hand mix the oil drops into the Sea Salt, make sure you’re inhaling the beautifully healing vapors of this mix, smells fantastic! Now add this mixture into your hot bath water and soak for 20 minutes or so.  Your body will absorb the oils out of the water and you will enjoy all their amazing benefits, which are many!!!  Light some candles, and Enjoy!

Quality is everything with essential oils.  Like with many things you get what you pay for. If you walk into a store and they have very cheap essential oils, then guess what? — They have very cheap essential oils.  Cheap essential oils (or really anything less than medicinal grade essential oils) do not offer you all the healing benefits that true Medicinal Essential Oils offer.  That is why there are those who say, “I have tried essential oils and they do not work.”  Well, what quality did they use?  Very cheap essential oils have very little, if any healing benefits.  But just wait till you use Medicinal Grade Oils.  The difference is clear, and the Oils are amazing!
