Releases anger and frustration Emotional support Calming and relaxing Orange Why orange?  I use orange in my diffuser recipes such as with woodsy scents.  It is great with Thieves, Christmas Spirt or any other oil that has cinnamon or clove in it.   It also blends well with Valor and Stress Away.   It gives an uplifting scent.  Also, I use Orange in my roller bottle and diffuser blends for a mood booster to add to oils like stress away

Keeping a home smelling fresh and clean naturally

 Do you have odors that creep up in your apartment?  Maybe even you have kids that do not want to keep their rooms clean.  In any case their seems to be odors that we do not want in our homes.  How do we deal with them?  I have found a few ways to keep my home smelling fresh naturally even with unwanted aromas lurking from neighbors next door.  Purification and Lemon are a powerful combination.  I diffuse 5 to 6 drops of purification and 2 to 3 drops of lemon.  I have found that kills any smell coming in (except strong cigarette smoke). I am going to be perfectly honest.  I am one of those people who have a sniffer that can smell anything for miles.  I don't know if that is a blessing or a curse.  Lemon diffused by itself or with any other oil.  Lemon has a clarifying effect. It can cleanse the air of the unwanted stink you didn't invite.  Also if you do not have any essential oils, you can use a lemon and either cut it up and put it on your counter or simmer it on low with som

Ningxia Red is one of my favorite Young Living products!

  Ningxia Red is one of my favorite products from Young Living.  I love it because gives me energy without caffeine or any type of stimulants. It is very high in antioxidants. Antioxidants are said to help neutralize free radicals.  Vitamin C, E and Selenium are some examples of Supplemental antioxidants. Blueberries, dark chocolate, artichokes, strawberries, raspberries, beans, grapes, spinach, beets and kale are among the top antioxidant foods. This superfruit drink provides the whole Ningxia wolfberry puree; a superfruit blend of blueberry, aronia, cherry, pomegranate, and plum jucies; natural stevia extract; grape seed extract; pure vanilla extract; and Orange, Yuzu, Lemon and Tangerine essential oils.  I love adding this to my smoothie.  I blend a cup or two of greens.  Usually spinach or kale with coconut water and the Ningxia Red.  Then I add my fruit.  Usually I do a combination of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries.  Sometimes I do frozen if it is not in s

Essential Oils That Are Good For Your Epilepsy/Seizures

If you don't know it by now I have Epilepsy.  I also use essential oils. I have done some research to make sure that I don't use the wrong essential oils that can possibly cause me to have a seizure but also I have looked for essential oils that can help with my seizures.  Now I am not saying these essential oils you can take in place of medication no that would be dangerous! You should always take your seizure medication and follow your doctors orders. What I am saying is that through my experience these essential oils have helped me either stop a seizure from coming on (in stressful situations and lack of sleep situations).  Here is a list of essential oils that you can use to help with seizures (along with your regular seizure medication, of  course). Frankincense - I put this one diluted on my big toe when I feel a seizure coming on, have had extra stress and have a stress headache, or haven't had enough sleep and I feel the effects right away (I always dilute all

Essential Oils to Avoid if you are Eplipetic

When it comes to my health I don't play around.  That's why I started using essential oils. When I first started using essential oils, one of the things I researched was were there any essential oils that were going to effect my epilepsy.  I came across a lot of different articles and eventually bought the Essential Oils Desk Reference.  I am always cautious though when it comes to seizures so I found more oils on the internet than what was published in the Essential Oils Desk Reference.  If an oil is in one of my favorite blends such as Thieves, I use it sparingly (I would only do this if your seizures are completely under control but I am not a medical professional so I would ask your doctor first).
