My last post was about the Peace blend and essential oils that can help with stress. I have recently discovered Bach Flower Remedies. I have to day I was super-excited to stumble across this amazing simple system.
Asking my aromatherapy instructor one day a question about an oil and talking about stress, she mentioned the Bach flower remedies and that they may be a good addition for this particular person and their emotional issues. Honestly, I had heard of the remedies but really had no idea what it was all about. I took some time to research them and found that it was something that I absolutely had to learn more about. I decided to take a course ( if you know me, you are saying "of course you did!") anyways, I am so excited that I will be able to start sharing a little about these remedies with all of you as I learn.
Bach flower remedies are a simple system developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the early 1900's. using essences from flowers to treat the emotions and underlying causes of illness and disease. By using this method, a person can treat emotions and help to bring themselves into balance and their stress level down and cut down risk of illness and disease. It is all very interesting and exciting.
Today I will just start with introducing very simply Dr.Bach's Rescue Remedy. It is the combination of 5 of his remedies that are used to treat emergency and crisis situations. It can be taken to help you face a difficult situation in a more calm and level frame of mind. It can be taken at the time of crisis or emergency to help bring your emotions back into balance, it can also be taken before an exam, a driving test, a public speaking event, visit to the dentist and flight or while awaiting important news. It usually will restore you to balance quickly in these situations. You can think of this as a "first aid kit".
The remedies are easy to take, in the case of Rescue Remedy; take 4 drops straight from the bottle or into a glass of water and sip until the emotional symptoms disappear. It's really that easy!
These remedies can be added to massage oil or room sprays in addition to essential oils as well! Also he has a rescue remedy cream for bumps, bruises and external trauma. These should be a must for every first aid kit!
Contact me for more information. I will have these remedies for sale soon as we'll as be able to make personalized blends for people. The cost is great!!! Under $20.00 for everything!

Anti~Stress oils
These days most people suffer from some kind of stress. Most of us find that the complications that pop up during our lives can interfere with our happiness at times.We are looking for something to take the edge off, something that may offer us a little peace of mind, a little joy when life's troubles catch up to us.
Essential oils have a profound effect on our emotions. Affecting the olfactory system through our sense of smell, these oils are able to offer us some relief during stressful times, some feelings of joy, a sense of peace that we long for.
A few essential oils that fit that description are:
Orange essential oil brings peace to the mind and joy to the heart.
Geranium helps us open up to new ideas, eases stress and can even trigger joyful memories.
Bergamot helps to instill optimisum and confidence, eases depression, anxiety and stress related disorders.
Clary Sage helps with the insomnia often associated with stress. Helps depression.
Juniper berry helps with stress, anxiety, insomnia, it uplifts our spirits, clears negative energy and clears waste from the mind.
I have made an essential oil blend that contains all these essential oils. It is called PEACE.
All of these oils can be used in massage or diffused into the air. Another great way to use them is by making a room mist. Add approximately 10 drops of essential oil blend to a 4 oz bottle of spring water in a spray bottle. This is great because it can be used anywhere; ay home, at the office or even in the car.
Caution: most of these oils cannot be used during pregnancy.

Clarity
In a world full of distractions, sometimes a little help to stay on course is welcome. Want to sit and read but have a hard time staying focused on your book as a thousand things cross your mind? Need to stay focused to study? Correct homework? Get a little afternoon pick me up & focus?
This blend helps with memory retention and focus. Also a great stimulant for low energy.
Clarity Young Living's blend is one you might like to try!
How can I use Clarity? Just a few drops on a cotton ball placed on your desk will create a stimulating environment. Mix a therapeutic blend ( 5 ml of Grapeseed oil and 8 drops of clarity) and use across the brow, temples and neck.
CAUTION: avoid direct sunlight when using this blend for 12 hours.
