There are many benefits of using essential oils in skin care. The essential oils are easily absorbed through the skin and they can be added to vegetable oils, moisturizers, scrubs, face masks, ointments and so on. It is also especially beneficial that they have an appealing scent which works on the emotional level as well. I love applying my morning facial cream with geranium because I also love the aroma and it makes me happy. The essential oils have been used throughout history for healing, cleaning, religious ceremonies, flavoring, skin care and perfumes.</div>

<b>Some of the benefits of essential oils in skin care are:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>they improve blood circulation and muscle tone</li>
<li>they are anti-inflammatory</li>
<li>they reduce the signs of emotional stress</li>
<li>they are antiseptic</li>
<li>they regulate sebum production</li>
<li>they help eliminate waste</li>
<li>they increase the speed of removing old skin cells and also stimulate the growth of new skin cells</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="text-align: left;">There are many oils which are beneficial to the skin so I have selected my favorites.</b><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Lavender</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The one and only. I always say if you can only afford one bottle of essential oils then pick lavender. It is very versatile oil with many uses. It works for all skin types, if you have dry skin, combination skin, mature skin, oily skin, and sensitive skin you can use lavender. According to Battaglia, lavender is also beneficial in conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, acne, psoriasis and boils. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Geranium</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who doesn't love the scent of flowers? Not only is the aroma of geranium positive, happy and mood lifting, but geranium will also make the skin happy. Battaglia says it is valuable for oily, dry or combination skin as well as balancing the production of sebum. It is also a valuable oil for burns and wounds according to Battaglia. I like to add geranium to massage oil to add balance to my aging skin. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Frankincense</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes, frankincense is an amazing oil. It rejuvenates aging skin and return dry and oily skin to normal. According to Battaglia frankincense is recommended for mature and dry skin, wrinkles, wounds and scars. It firms skin, promotes healing and fights inflammation.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cedarwood</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cedarwood is a wonderful oil and it smells of fresh cut timber, but I noticed many don't realize its value in skin care. According to Battaglia, cedarwood's astringent and antiseptic properties makes it very useful in oily skin conditions. He also says it helps to clear dermatitis and psoriasis. Battaglia also says it is a great hair tonic and effective for treating dandruff. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Tea trea</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tea tree is another great oil to use and it is mild enough to use on children. However, always check out the <i><b><a href="http://joshealthcorner.blogspot.se/p/my-social-networks.html" target="_blank">safety information </a></b></i>before using any essential oils on children. According to Battaglia, tea tree is very effective for treatment of acne and pimples when combined with lavender. It can be mixed in a 1% dilution with a light oil such as jojoba or apricot. Massage into face and then wipe off. He says it can be added to shampoo and used in the treatment of dandruff.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you haven't tried any of these oils in skin care before then I suggest that you try. Except for frankincense, these oils are fairly inexpensive as well as very versatile. Using essential oils for your skin care regimen is safer than using most commercial products that contain many harmful chemicals. An extra bonus is that the oils can be used for so much more than skin care.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Underlying physiological reasons such anemia, hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis are some things that may cause exhaustion. It is also important to make sure that the exhaustion is not caused by overwork, excessive drinking, insomnia or that you're recovering from a bacterial or viral infection that would make you tired.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">40% of the cases of tiredness/exhaustion cases are caused by lifestyle and psychological reasons. If these are recognized they can be worked on. It's a good idea to start with the working environment, is it too noisy, are you sitting too close to the photocopiers, do you use the computer all day, are you sitting in a good chair, is the lighting to dim, are you sitting close to the air vents? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Essential oils have historically been used for exhaustion, tiredness, and fatigue for a long time. The oils recommended for exhaustion can be used in all the usual way. At the bottom of this post you'll see some links to tips on how to use essential oils.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Worwood recommends the following:</b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Burnout can affect the mental and emotional processes which influence the physical. The body shuts down when the emotions shut down, when there are no feelings anymore or tears to cry. There are many reasons why someone could get burnout, perhaps caring for a relative with terminal illness for a long time or a break up from a spouse.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When someone gets burnout it may paralyze a person, it may seem like all the feelings that normally make up a person's personality are gone. The person may feel like he or she is in a vacuum and can't reach out to others. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">The person may simply feel depressed and exhausted. The emotional side has closed down to recharge the batteries but the feelings are still there of course.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><b>Valeri Worwood recommends the following essential oils for those with all kinds of emotional burnout:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Vetiver, rose Otto, patchouli, lavender, clary sage, sandalwood, frankincense, ginger, Roman chamomile, bergamot, neroli, Melissa, marjoram, sandalwood, lemon, helichrysum, jasmine, petitegrain.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">When making blends for burnout it is better to start softly, Worwood suggests to start with half the amount and use 15 drops to the usual 30 ml (1 oz) base oil for massage that she recommends. Use only 1-2 drops of a blend in the bath or 1-2 drops in the diffuser. Over time you can increase the amount and eventually add 30 drops to 30 ml of base oil. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZXlGPn4sFRI/Vt-kvBHPDXI/AAAAAAAAE9I/cqj7AAImOg4/s1600/blendingtips.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZXlGPn4sFRI/Vt-kvBHPDXI/AAAAAAAAE9I/cqj7AAImOg4/s400/blendingtips.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Blending essential oils can be tricky and it requires practice. I learned long time ago that it is a good idea to write down the recipes of the blends so you remember the great ones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Blend Equalizers</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">If your blend is not smooth and has some sharp edges then it's a good idea to consider using blend equalizers. Blend equalizers are the essential oils that will smooth out the sharp edges in a blend. According to Battaglia, Lavabre says the essential oils of sweet orange, Spanish marjoram, fir, tangerine, pine and rosewood are considered equalizers. If your blend contains cineole rich essential oils Lavabre suggests that fir and pine needle are ideal to use.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Blend equalizers will balance the blend and this will make the blend flow harmoniously. The equalizers' main purpose is to hold the blend together without having any or very little effect on the blend's personality. Battaglia says equalizers can be used in large amounts, if blend modifiers are also used then equalizers can be used up to 50%.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Blend Modifiers</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you realize that your blend is flat and uninteresting then it may be a good idea to add a drop of a modifier. Blend modifiers will contribute to its unique personality as well as give the blend a lift. Some modifiers are cinnamon, peppermint, clove, vetiver, cistus and German Chamomile. Even when used in small amounts the modifiers can influence the overall aroma of the blend, so it is suggested by Battaglia to use them sparingly. Don't use more than 3%.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Blend Enhancers</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Blend enhancers can slightly modify a blend without overpowering it. They have a pleasant aroma and Battaglia says they can be used up to 50%. Geranium, bergamot, clary sage, cedarwood, lavender, may chang, spruce, lime, lemon, lavender, palmarosa, jasmine, myrrh, rose otto, neroli are considered blend enhancers according to Battaglia.</div>

<b>Natural Extenders</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When you use expensive essential oils such as rose, jasmine and neroli you want to take advantage of their exquisite aroma. Battaglia says that Lavabre recommends using natural extenders to make the blend more affordable. The natural enhancers should be compatible with the expensive essential oils of course. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Battaglia shares a formula that shows how it is possible to maintain the equisite rosy aroma of a blend by adding two less expensive essential oils with rosy and floral aroma. Battaglia chooses to add the less expensive essential oils of rosewood and palmarosa as natural extenders to a rose absolute blend. He is using patchouli as a base note which has a rich, sweet and earthy aroma.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Palmarosa 10%</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
rose absolute 20%</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
rosewood 60%</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
patchouli 10%</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> Essential oils are expensive and it is annoying when you create blends that don't turn out so well. Hopefully the tips mentioned above will be useful. Happy Blending!</span></div>

Blending essential oils is not always easy and it is also very subjective. Fortunately, there are some tips that are useful and can help you create a pleasing and balanced blend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First of all you need to familiarize yourself with the top, middle, and base notes. Battaglia agrees with Lavabre, who suggests the following ratio:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
top notes: 20-30%</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
midddle notes: 40-80%</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
base notes: 10-25%</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Battaglia used to believe in a different ratio but he writes that Lavabre's ratio works perfectly for aromatherapy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For a detailed list of the essential oils and if they are top, middle, or base notes, read my post <b><a href="http://joshealthcorner.blogspot.com/2009/10/make-your-own-perfume.html" target="_blank">Make Your Own Perfume:</a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It is important that the blend you make doesn't brake up into three stages that smells differently, you don't want them to leave the others behind. If the essential oil blend falls apart it is not formulated very well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So how should a well balanced blend be like? Battaglia says a well balanced blend has a top note that retains some of the middle note, and the base note retains some of the middle note. The changes during the evaporatio process will be very smooth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>What are some things you can do to fix your blend?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you have formulated a blend with the top note too far removed from the middle note then you can bring the blend into harmony by adding an essential oil with softer quality that vibrates from the middle towards the top. Rose otto, neroli or clary sage can be used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you formulated a blend where the base note is way too pronounced and doesn't have any connection to the middle note, then you have to lift the blend with an essential oil that is brighter and resonates from the middle to the base. Geranium, lavender, rosewood, or ylang yland are suitable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If you formulated a blend with mostly top notes then you should consider adding rosewood or sandalwood to the blend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Lymphedema may be localized or generalized. Kahn says lymphedema may be due to a primary or secondary cause. The primary cause is also referred to as congenital, and the secondary cause is caused by a known condition which could be radiation or trauma, or removal of lymph nodes. </div>

<b>The Aromatherapy Treatment Strategy</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The aromatherapy treatment is to reduce the swelling by stimulationg the lymph flow by using cool compresses and lymphatic drainage massage techniques. Kahn suggests to use essential oil such as fennel seed, juniper berry, and cypress for the compress. Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage that assists the lymph flow, decrease pain, balance the central nervous system and boosts immunity. Kahn recommends to use laurus nobilis, lemon, rosemary, grapefruit, peppermint and lemon essential oils. These oils assist lymph fluid circulation and aid in elimination of wastes from the interstitial tissue.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The leg should be elevated. Kahn also suggests to incorporate deep breathing, yoga, self massage, nutritional and lifestyle advice. Aromatherapy baths are also recommended and they should not be too hot, the heat can cause filtration of fluids into the tissue and make the condition worse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Kahn further says it is important to use pH balanced moisturizing lotion with essential oils such as tea tree and lavender to minimize the risk of infections.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iIXY0Dua1Jw/VuG2fxBoQII/AAAAAAAAE_M/lbJ3r3MkO8g/s640/blogger-image-120449641.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iIXY0Dua1Jw/VuG2fxBoQII/AAAAAAAAE_M/lbJ3r3MkO8g/s400/blogger-image-120449641.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was thought among experts that DOMS was caused by the lactic acid, the by-product of anaerobic metabolism (glycosis). However, it is now believed that the free radicals hydroperoxides, ammonia, and hydroxyl radicals cause hydroxyproline damage. Hydroxyproline can be found in the connective tissue. It is a constituent of the collagen.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Any movement that is new can cause tearing and swelling that leads to soreness However, it is mostly the eccentric muscle contractions that lead to DOMS. Eccentric muscle contractions are movements that cause the muscles to forcefully contract while it lengthens. Going down the stairs, lowering weights, running downhill, and the downward movements of squats and push ups.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Stretching, hydration, pre-workout warm up, and massage are some things that may reduce DOMS. </span><span style="font-size: small;"> It is wise to add antioxidants before and after training to minimize or reduce occurrence of DOMS. Remember, higher intensity training increases the risk of DOMS. Some antioxidants to consider are Pantothenic Acid, niacin, vitamin C & E, beta-carotene, COQ10, n-acetyl cysteine, zinc, selenium, grape seed extract and L-Glutathione. Rehydration drinks with electrolytes, carbohydrates and ascorbates should also be consumed. </span></span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here are some ideas on how you can add aroma throughout the day to fully enjoy your day.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When you wake up</span></b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For an invigorating kick in the morning, use a blend of peppermint and mandarin (or tangerine or grapefruit. Diffuse or add to shampoo, lotion or shower gel. You can also add a couple of drops to a wash cloth and use in the shower. Peppermint can irritate the skin so dilute well and mandarin is phototoxic so don't apply to skin before sun exposure.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once you get to work in can be a good idea to activate the brain. Rosemary is often called the ginko biloba of the west. Rosemary has historically been known to influence memory and efficiency. Add it to a diffuser, apply a couple of drops on a tissue and inhale, inhale straight from the bottle, or mix with massage oil and add to a roll-on bottle. Make sure you ask your co-workers before you add any oils to a diffuser. Avoid rosemary if you have high blood pressure, asthma or epilepsy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many feel tired after lunch, perhaps even little bloated, especially if the lunch was ingested too quickly. Basil, <i>Ocimum basilicum</i>, is an antispasmodic and it is also known as the decision maker. According to the <i>Essential Oils Integrative Medical Guide</i>, for mental fatigue - inhale basil first, and then apply to the crown of the head, the forehead, the heart and the navel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dilute basil well before you apply to the skin and consult a health care practitioner if you suffer from high blood pressure. It should be used with caution in high blood pressure.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KhIcJjM6fX4/Vt-QlsypgsI/AAAAAAAAE8A/GlGS0Ta5kAQ/s1600/nervoussystem.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KhIcJjM6fX4/Vt-QlsypgsI/AAAAAAAAE8A/GlGS0Ta5kAQ/s400/nervoussystem.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The nervous system is the body's communication network and control center. The nervous system senses changes inside and outside the body and interpretes these. It also initiates actions such as glandular secretions or muscular contractions as a response to what the nervous system interprets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is important to acknowledge the connection between the physical and psychological aspects of our well being. The nervous system is part of the physical make up but the psychological process also takes place in the nervous system. When there's a disease on the physical level it will affect the psychological and when there's a disease on the psychological level it will affect the physical.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Aromatherapy is unique, and Battaglia says no other holistic modality can offer such a multidimensional approach to dealing with conditions associated with the nervous system. The aromatherapy massage is very nurturing and therapeutic, the essential oils have pharmacological activity, the olfaction has powerful influence of ANS memory and emotions, and there's is a caring relationship between the therapist and the client.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, the following properties of essential oils are useful when dealing with conditions associated with the nervous system:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Antidepressants</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Battaglia says the following essential oils can be used to alleviate depression:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~ Sandalwood, ylang ylang, neroli, jasmine, geranium, lemon, lavender, rose otto and absolute, bergamot, basil and clary sage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Soporifics</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Battaglia says sweet marjoram, lavender, and valerian can be used to induce sleep.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nervines</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are two types of nervines - sedative and stimulant nervines. Nervines strengthen and tone the nerves.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, the stimulant nervines strengthen the nervous system and are useful in stress, shock or nervous debility. He says the following oils are useful nervines:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~ Vetiver, clary sage, basil, lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary, angelica root and juniper berry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Battaglia says relaxant nervines can help alleviate tension and stress. He says some excellent nervines are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~ Bergamot, Roman chamomile, sweet marjoram, valerian, sandalwood, neroli and lavender.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Analgesics</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, analgesic can be used for migraines and headaches. He says the following oils are analagesics:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~ Eucalyptus, cajuput, peppermint, sweet marjoram, spike lavender, lavender, thyme and rosemary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Antispasmodics</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, antispasmodics help prevent or alleviate spasms or convulsions, and may be beneficial for treating migraines, headaches and muscular spasms caused by nervous tension. Battaglia says the following oils are antispasmodics:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~ Clary sage, Roman chamomile, yarrow, sweet marjoram and lavender.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Behavior and attitude can influence our resistance to disease and positive imagery and meditation have been used in cancer treatments for years. It is also important to consider eating a well balance diet, get enough rest and sleep, use relaxation techniques and consider other natural remedies such as flower essences and herbs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, aromatherapy can help with some of the problems associated with the lymphatic system. Essential oils with diuretic, alterative, circulatory stimulant, bactericidal, antifungal and antiviral properties are most suitable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What is the lymphatic system?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The lymphatic system is a network of superficial and deep vessels and can be found in all parts of the body except for the spinal column, brain, bone marrow and cartilage. The lymph capillaries, vessels, and and larger ducts transport the lymph and the lymph nodes are the filtering devices. The thymus, tonsils and the spleen are lymphatic organs and the breasts are mostly made up of lymphatic vessels and glands.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What's the function of the lymphatic system?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The lymphatic system has three major functions in the body:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">aid in providing immunological defenses</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">draining excess fluids from the body cells</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">absorbing and distributing fat soluble nutrients.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When it is not working well</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sometimes our lymphatic system is not working well and this condition is called congestion. The lymph is filled with waste products that has passed through the lymph nodes. It is the liver's responsibility to neutralize and eliminate a large number of toxins. Unfortunately, when the liver and the lymph nodes are unable to cope with the toxins, the toxins can leak through the mucous membranes and other emergency elimination sites. This leaking is commonly known as catarrh or inflammation of the mucous membranes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Vital to life</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Just because the lymph system is like a sewage system doesn't mean it is not vital to life, you see, when this system fails to function properly, excess toxins and fluid will build up in the body causing pain, infection, loss of energy and various diseases.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Okay, so let's talk about the essential oils.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Diuretics</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, diuretic essential oils are often used in conditions where water is retained in the body. Battaglia says the following oils have diuretic properties, which means they accelerate the detoxification process by stimulating kidneys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~Grapefruit, fennel, lemon, juniper, cypress, tangerine, orange, and mandarin. Caution, excessive use of juniper has been known to cause kidney irritation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Increasing leucocytosis</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, the following oils will increase the body's ability to make white blood cells:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~Lavender, rosemary, lemon, thyme and tea tree.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Blood cleansers, alteratives, detoxifiers or depuratives</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, most essential oils will stimulate phagocytosis, which means the ability of the white blood cells to ingest and clean up toxins and microbes. Battaglia refers to Mills, who says that by improving the functions of the eliminatory channels in the body the tissues may be cleansed. The remedies capable of doing so are referred to as blood cleansers, alteratives or depuratives. Battaglia lists the following oils as being alteratives, depuratives, blood cleanser or detoxifiers:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~ German and Roman Chamomile, sweet fennel, rosemary, lemon, lavender, geranium, juniper and angelica.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Stimulating lymph and tissue fluid circulation</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Battaglia says essential oils such as grapefruit, juniper berry, orange, cold pressed lime, rosemary, peppermint and tangerine will stimulate the tissue and lymph fluid circulation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anti-fungal, antiviral and bactericidal</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Battaglia, Jean Valnet lists these oils as being very useful:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">~ Clove, niaouli, eucalyptus, thyme, lemon, cinnamon, sandalwood, lavender, peppermint and German chamomile as being very useful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Circulatory stimulants</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">By stimulating the circulatory system you stimulate the flow of lymph. Battaglia says black pepper, rosemary or ginger may be used in a lymphatic massage blend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Essential Oils Desk Reference also lists myrtle, lemongrass and hyssop as essential oils that aid in detoxifying and stimulating the lymphatic system. The Reference Guide also lists ledum, <i>Ledum groenlandicum</i>, as being useful for inflamed lymph nodes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Coipaba, <i>Copaifera reticulata/langsdorfii</i> originates in Brazil and it is part of the <i>Caesalpiniaceae</i> family. Coipaba is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties. "Copal" is derived from the Spanish word for incense, copelli, and any number of resinous gums or exudates from threes in Malaysia and South America are known as "Copal". According to the<i> Essential Oils Desk Reference</i>, the Brazilian copaiba has the most published research on its anti-inflammatory effects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Historical Uses</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">According to the <i>Essential Oils Desk Reference</i>, the healers in the Amazon use resin for all kinds of pain and inflammatory disorders. In Peru 2-3 drops of resin is mixed with honey and used as remedy for sore throat. In the Brazilian and Peruvian herbal medicine system it is listed as and antiseptic and anti-inflammatory for the urinary tract, and it is used in the treatment of bronchitis, tetanus, and tuberculosis.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>The Reference Guide</i> states that copaiba has historically been used for stomach ulcers, tumors, incontinence, syphilis, bleeding, hemorrhages and pleurisy. According to the guide, it has been verified by modern research.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fragrance Influences</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>The Reference Guide for Essential Oils</i> states that the aroma of copaiba lifts depression and helps elevate mood as well as to help combat stress problems, nervous tension and anxiety. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Properties</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Coipaba has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory (powerful), mycolytic and antiulcer properties according to the <i>Essential Oils Desk Reference</i>. <i>The Reference Guide for Essential Oils </i>also mentions that copaiba is a stimulant for the circulatory and the pulmonary system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>EODR</i> states that copaiba can be used for pain relief since it is a strong anti-inflammatory and it can also be used for insect bites, arthritis, skin disorder, rheumatism, stomach distress, sore throat and urinary disorders. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>The Reference Guide for Essential Oils</i> says that it may also help with constipation, edema, dyspepsia, flu, flatulence, bacterial infections, wounds, stiffness, colds and diarrhea.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here is a steam inhalation that historically been used for both dry and moist coughs. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Use a facial steamer or put hot water in a bowl of water, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">add 1 drop Cedarwood, 1 drop eucalyptus and 1 drop hyssop. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hold the head 8 inches from the bowl with a towel over head to form a tent, and inhale. You want to make sure that you inhale slowly and deeply with your eyes closed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">According to Valeri Cooksley, R.N, cypress, juniper, frankincense, lavender, myrrh, peppermint and sandalwood are other oils that are useful for coughs. </span></div>

I've read quite a a lot of books throughout the years and some are better than others. Once you learn more about essential oils you realize that many books have a lot of the same information.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Here we go:</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My absolute favorite book is <i>The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy</i> by Salvatore Battaglia. It was a required textbook in my 12 month aromatherapy education at the American College of Healthcare Sciences, and I'm pleased to see that they still use the book. This book has been a great help in my consulting and blogging. I also like it because Battaglia also addresses dietary and lifestyle changes for each health condition. I purchased the first edition through my college and I purchased the second edition in a health food store in Wales, UK. It is quite an expensive book and<b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Aromatherapy-Salvatore-Battaglia/dp/0646428969/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391457797&sr=8-1&keywords=Salvatore+Battaglia" target="_blank"> it cost $ 110.00 on Amazon</a></i></b> but you can buy it from <b><i><a href="http://www.apothecary-shoppe.com/collections/books/products/complete-guide-to-aromatherapy" target="_blank">my college store for $ 90.75.</a></i></b> I highly recommend this book and it has so much information in it that you really don't need many other books. This is what it says about it in the Apothecary Shoppe:</span><br />

Drawn from the essential oils of plants, they serve as an earthly connection with the Divine. In her fascinating book, renowned aromatherapist Valerie Ann Worwood breaks new ground with an in-depth study of the use of fragrance in spirituality. Drawing on the pioneering research of eminent scientists and the insights of leading spiritual teachers, she provides exhaustive guidelines detailing how fragrance can be used in many spiritual practices, from Shinto and Buddhism to Native American rites. Extensive charts, exercises, and formulas demonstrate the use of aroma in healing, prayer, and meditation and in conjunction with vibrational and energetic healing. Covering more than 70 essential oils, this extraordinary guide helps readers call upon the divine power of fragrance to enrich their own spiritual journeys</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">."</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bdzPQH0lZZs/Vt-RmbTnX-I/AAAAAAAAE8I/7cdH6hzmH7o/s1600/fragranceenergetics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bdzPQH0lZZs/Vt-RmbTnX-I/AAAAAAAAE8I/7cdH6hzmH7o/s400/fragranceenergetics.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">'Fragrance energetics' was developed by Peter Holmes and it is a system where the aroma of essential oils is linked to their impact on their psyche. Jennifer Peace Rhind, in her book <u>A Handbook for Aromatherapy Practice,</u> writes that Peter Holmes "<i>suggests that it is the energetic dimension of a fragrance that elicits responses within an individual, that manifest on cognitive, emotional and spiritual levels</i>." Rhind also writes that Holmes "s<i>uggests that if the root of disease is in the psyche, the fragrance of the essential oils will work via the psychoneuroendocrine pathway, thus healing the physical dimension, and vice versa</i>."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are three fragrance parameters in fragrance energetics:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">tone - The quality of the odor and the most significant</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">intensity and n</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ote -The evaporation rate</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are also six fragrance categories adapted to include the most common characteristics and odor types that can be found in essential oils. The different categories are rooty, lemony, spicy, green, sweet and woody. Specific therapeutic effects can be brought out by these six fragrance characteristics according to Holmes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">High/top tone oils such as citrus oils, niaouli, eucalyptus, ravintsara, mimosa absolute, ylang yland extra, and lavender will have an uplifting and stimulating effect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Low/base tone oils such as sandalwood, vetivert, patchouli, most pine oils, woody oakmoss, and cinnamon will have a sedative and depressing effect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to Rhind, Holme suggested that:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"•Spicy oils are stimulating, invigorating, intensifying, awakening, opening and dispersing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">•Sweet oils are relaxing, calming, harmonising, regulating, moistening, dissolving, nourishing and regenerating. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">•Lemony oils are clearing, clarifying, sensitising, focusing, energising and invigorating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">•Green oils are balancing and regulating, cooling, relaxing, clearing and clarifying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> •Woody oils are centring, contracting, grounding and strengthening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> •Rooty oils are stabilising, grounding, solidifying, tonifying, desensitising and calming."</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Jennifer Peace Rhind. Essential Oils: A Handbook for Aromatherapy Practice Kindle Edition. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The different odor effects can be chosen to counteract negative moods. When feeling insecurity and loss of boundaries the 'woody' sandalwood can be used to help since according to Rhind, it has contracting and centring properties.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Holmes also explored the application of essential oils using the Chinese medicine philosophy, where they correspond in terms of warm/cool qualities and their meridian tropisms. He also explored the essential oils' relationship with Zang Fu, (Chinese organ) models, and their relationship with the Chinese Five Elements.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He also explored acupoint applications, which means that essential oils are applied on the skin with a Q-tip before the acupuncture needle is inserted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I found this very fascinating and I highly recommend Jennifer Peace Rhind's book, <i>A Handbook for Aromatherapy Practice. </i>Peter Holmes has also written books which I haven't read yet but they are on my wish list. A list of his books can be found <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Peter+Holmes+Aromatherapy" target="_blank">here.</a></i></b></span><br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HLATCMcuN9Q/TTh0bDjmLcI/AAAAAAAACuY/umqEXaNXT_Y/s1600/se2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HLATCMcuN9Q/TTh0bDjmLcI/AAAAAAAACuY/umqEXaNXT_Y/s320/se2.jpg" height="320" width="212" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think most women have experienced PMS at some stage during their life. When I was younger I felt horrible days before my period. Fortunately, I haven't had any problems since I started taking care of my body holistically.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">PMS is mostly connected to toxicity, nutritional imbalances, and hormonal imbalance. A poor diet and nutritional deficiencies are the primarily causes of PMS. When your diet is high in sugar, white flour, corn syrup, and caffeine the chances are higher that you suffer from PMS. I noticed a significant difference when I removed all the refined white products and processed foods in favor of a diet high in vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, and good sources of protein. It is important to avoid synthetic estrogens in food and aim for organic dairy and meat. Good fats are important so experts suggest to increase your amount of omega oils, and especially Evening Primrose Oil which has proven helpful for many women.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">According to Dr. Henry Bieler, in his book,<b><i> </i></b><i>Food Is Your Best Medicine<b>,</b></i><b><i> </i></b>PMS means that the digestive tract and liver have become irritated from a poor diet, and as a result the toxins are entering the blood stream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">PMS has been divided into different groups according to the symptoms and hormonal patterns. It is possible for a woman to suffer from all four types in one cycle, and only suffer from one in the next cycle. So, what type are you?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The different PMS types:</span></u></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></u></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">PMS-A (anxiety)</span></u></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This group is associated with anxiety and symptoms include nervous tension, mood swings, anxiety, and irritability. This group biochemically shows a high estrogen to progesterone ratio. This could be related to congestion in the liver, and excess milk and animal fats. Steven Horne suggests that using liver cleansing herbs to clear congestion and progesterone cream may be helpful. Steven Horne also says magnesium, B6, and <i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>GLA, (Gamma-linolenic acid) may be helpful as well. GLA can be found in plant based oils such as borage seed oil, evening primrose oil and black currant seed oil.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">PMS-C (craving)</span></u></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This group shows an increased appetite and food cravings, especially for sugar and chocolate. Some of the symptoms are dizziness, fainting, fatigue, and heart palpitations. This is linked with hypoglycemia and low prostaglandins. Remedies for hypoglycemia may be helpful, and Horne recommends Licorice root<i style="font-weight: bold;">,</i> and Algae<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">. </span>Cravings for chocolate may be caused by magnesium deficiency and essential fatty acid deficiencies. He also says zinc and B6 are other supplements that may help.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">PMS-D (depression)</span></u></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Depression, forgetfulness, crying, confusion, and insomnia are some of the characteristics of this group. According to Steven Horne, this is related to high progesterone and low estrogen, and magnesium levels seem to be low in this group as well. Heavy metal toxicity from lead may be another factor. Steven Horne says natural phytoestrogens may be helpful. He also says antistress vitamin supplement in herbal base can supply essential B-vitamins. Horne says St. John's Wort is an herb that historically has been used for the nervous system.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">PMS-H (hyper hydration)</span></u></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This group is associated with fluid retention. Weight gain, breast tenderness, swelling of extremities, and abdominal bloating are some of the characteristics of this group. According to Steven Horne this is caused by elevated levels of the hormone aldosterone. He also says diuretics <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">may help. Horne also says</span></b> Vitamin E, GLA, magnesium and phytoestrogens may be helpful for this type of PMS as well.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Yeast infections may also contribute to PMS. Yeast infections are closely related to general toxicity. Progesterone affects yeast growth which means that women with yeast overgrowth often have more problems with yeast related symptoms during their later half of their cycle. You might want to consider Candida cleansing if you have problems with vaginal yeast infections, taken a lot of antibiotics or birth control pills. The endocrine glands work together, so thyroid problems may also contribute to PMS.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Essential oils and aromatherapy treatments may be beneficial in PMS. According to Battaglia, sweet fennel, geranium, and juniper berry used in a lymphatic drainage massage may reduce fluid retention.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Battaglia writes that clary sage, rose, geranium, sweet fennel influence the production of hormones and may be beneficial for PMS. He says<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>Roman chamomile, rose, and bergamot may be used to reduce irritability and depression. Battaglia also says in order for the essential oils to be beneficial for PMS, the above essential oils need to be used daily in a massage blend with evening primerose oil as the base oil.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The best you can do is to avoid toxins and refined products. Eat a wholesome diet rich in vegetables, fruits and good proteins. Aim to buy as much organic food as possible, and don't forget to make sure you get sufficient amount of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. </span><br />

<div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"> There are times when you might run out of your supplies and there is no way you can buy any decent herbs on a Saturday night when you need it the most. Fortunately there are things you can do with some basic ingredients you most likely have at home, or at least can pick up at the regular store.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Cough</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">You can make a simple cough syrup from warm pineapple juice and two teaspoons of honey. The bromelain in the pineapple is activated by the honey.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">You can also make a cough syrup by mixing the juice of one lemon with two tablespoons glycerine and then add 12 teaspoons honey to the mixture and stir. Stir before each use. I always use raw honey.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">According to the Ayureda tradition you can take equal part teaspoons of lemon and honey. If you have a cough with mucus you can add 1/2 teaspoon ginger, a pinch of clove, and a pinch of cinnamon to one cup of water.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">You can also gargle by adding a pinch of salt and two pinches of turmeric to a glass of water.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Another remedy which is easy to make at home is to slice an onion into a deep bowl and cover with honey and let it sit over night. The next day you strain the mixture and this will make a simple elixir. Another tasty remedy is hot pear juice with a cinnamon stick. You can also cardamon and cumin to juices.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Ear Problems</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Garlic is considered to be a natural antibiotic. For smaller children warm garlic oil to room temperature and drop a few drops in the ear. You can also improve lymphatic drainage by rubbing some garlic oil down the neck. I mostly have garlic capsules at home and I just poke a hole in the capsule, but you can also soak crushed garlic in olive oil. For older children and adults you can cut a clove of garlic and put a little olive oil on it put it on the outside of the ear like an hearing aid.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Another way is to bake or steam an onion and let it cool to room temperature and then place a few drops oil in the ear. The onion can also be cut in half and placed over the ear. The post, <a href="http://joshealthcorner.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-deal-with-earaches-naturally.html"><b><i>How to Deal With Earaches Naturally</i></b></a> has more detailed information.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">This time of the year it is also a good idea to work on prevention. I like to incorporate pungent and aromatic herb into my cooking since they give the body energy to heal itself and many of them have powerful healing properties. Cayenne pepper, ginger, peppermint, rosemary, cinnamon, garlic, sage, chamomile, horseradish and thyme are herbs I use a lot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">There are many ways I incorporate these herbs into my daily life and not just wait to the day I start feeling ill. I like to make herbal teas of peppermint, ginger and chamomile and I always add some raw honey and lemon juice to make it a powerful healing tea.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">I add pungent and aromatic herbs to all of my cooking instead of store bought spice mixes, and this time of they year I often make soups and stews which are perfect for adding cayenne, rosemary, garlic and thyme to. I don't follow any recipe I just kind of add a handful of what I have at home, but I am picky about the quality of herbs I buy. You can also add fresh ginger to stir fries.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">It is a good idea to stock up on the supplies this time of the year so you don't get caught by a surprise cold when you have important meetings to attend to. I make sure I have my favorite herbal blends, supplements, essential oils, raw honey, lemon, teas, silver shield and bulk herbs at home just to be prepared.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">You can also make an <i><b>Onion Garlic Soup</b></i>. I like to make it for the family and we eat it as prevention, and I freeze the leftovers. When I re-heat it I just add more pungent herbs. This is a soup you can sip all through the day if you are sick.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">4 large white or yellow onions, thinly sliced</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">1/2 dry white wine</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">1/4 tsp. cayenne (optional)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Saute the garlic, thyme and onions in olive oil until golden brown. Add garlic and onions to a slow cooker or a bigger pot to be cooked with the vegetable broth, wine and bay leaf. Slowly cook for 2 to 3 hours or over night if using a slow cooker. Strain the liquid, add the honey, fresh basil; and parsley, sea salt, fresh ground pepper and cayenne. I like to experiment and I add different kinds of herbs to the soup and many times I make it without adding the wine. We don't use any salt in our cooking either.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My youngest son loves to help my husband restore his old 68 mustang. He drops what he is doing when he sees his father in the garage, and he runs and asks if there is anything he can do to help. I think it is important to teach our children various skills so that they can handle adulthood better.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I consider it important that my boys leave home with certain life skills, and that my daughter will do the same. My husband and I don't push it on them, we involve them in what we are doing instead. It makes them feel important that we value their help in what we are doing. Eventually they know the skill themselves and they can do them on their own. </span><br />

Dr. Benjamin Perkus said at the Young Living Convention, "kids and teens who are born abroad and immigrate to the United States are about half as likely to have asthma and allergies as those who are born in the U.S."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As a European who has lived in several countries I have noticed a few things:</span></b><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">More food in other countries contain less or no preservatives than here in USA.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">More food in other countries contain natural food colorings (from vegetables) than here in USA.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A lot of chemicals are forbidden in Europe but still allowed here in USA. American food manufactures have to make special products for the European market.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Genetically modified food has been banned in many countries, and GMO food is required to be labeled in several countries. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The amount of vaccines children receive is less in many other countries than here in USA. Swedish children receive less vaccines than most other children in other countries and the amount of SID cases are among the lowest in the world. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So I am not surprised to find out that children born abroad will develop less asthma and allergies than children born here in the U.S. The European Union has also taken an interest in what damage chemicals can do to children. It is now a law to label products aimed at children that contain artificial coloring. EU recognizes that food dyes can cause allergies, asthma and cancer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dr.Perkus recommends to use lavender, and an anti-microbial blend of rosemary cineol, clove, cinnamon, lemon and Eucalyptus radiata for children. He recommends to use the anti-microbial blend for mold. He also recommends to use probiotics and enzymes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What to do about allergies</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fortunately as parents we can be proactive and protect our children here in the U.S. Whether your child is allergic or not, it has to start with the diet. </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Make sure to purchase food that doesn't have any nasty chemicals, but as you will notice it will be hard to find good quality food in the stores. Your best bet is to make as much as possible from scratch and to buy organic. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Eat wholesome food with plenty of fruit and vegetables, replace the sugary snacks with some fruit, veggies, smoothies, chicken, eggs etc. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Make sure that your child receives sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals, it is said it is impossible to receive all the nutrients we need through food alone so purchase a good quality multivitamin. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Vitamin D and omega -3 fatty acids are said to decrease allergy symptoms.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Replace all the toxic household products and personal hygiene products with natural products. It doesn't have to be expensive, you can use vinegar and baking soda for a lot of things in the house. Check out my <b><i><a href="http://joshealthcorner.blogspot.com/2012/01/spring-cleaning-naturally.html" target="_blank">Natural Cleaning Post</a></i></b>. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is recommended to keep a log once you notice your child show signs of allergies. It is important to ask what has your child touched, inhaled, smelled, eaten prior to the change. Contact and inhalant allergies are usually instant while food allergic are usually delayed 20 min - 2 hours.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pine is a tall evergreen tree with a flat crown and its bark is reddish brown. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Origin </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Northern Europe and North America. Mostly from Finland and Siberia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Aroma</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A woody turpentine-like aroma. It is a calming but energizing aroma and it increases the mental alertness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Historical and traditional uses</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hippocrates recommended the use of pine for throat infections and pulmonary problems. Pliny emphasized the use of pine in all problems of the respiratory system. Mrs Grieve's Modern Herbal lists pine as a valuable remedy for kidney, bladder and rheumatic conditions as well as for respiratory and mucus membrane complaints.</span></div>
<div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Indications, therapeutic actions and traditional uses</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pine is considered great for general debility and mental fatigue when inhaled. It is cleansing and invigorating. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">According to Battaglia, pine's expectorant and antiseptic properties are helpful in cases of influenza, laryngitis and bronchitis. He also says pine is useful in treating hepatitis, cystitis, prostate problems, and in reducing inflammation of the gall bladder as well as reducing gall stones. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">According to Gary Young, pine may dilate the respiratory system and it may also help with respiratory infections, coughs, cuts, scabies, skin parasites, stress, sores, nervous exhaustion and urinary infection. Young also suggests that pine may help stimulate the adrenal glands and the circulatory system.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Safety</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #f6f6f6; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Possible skin sensitivity. If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Do not use near fire, flame, heat or spark. Dilution recommended for both topical and internal use. Dilute before using on sensitive areas such as the face, neck, genital area, etc. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid using on infants and very small children. Avoid oil adulterated with turpentine, a low-cost but potentially hazardous filler.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">The fall is a perfect time to start using warming essential oils. When the days are getting shorter and the temperatures are cooler I start diffusing my woody, spicy and warming oils. Not only do these oils add a wonderful aroma to the home, but they also possess powerful anti-microbial properties to aid in warding off disease. I love how I can diffuse the aromas I love and at the same time protect myself from infectious diseases.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">I especially enjoy the essential oils from spices, perhaps it is because we use a lot of spices during the long and cold winter months in my home country Sweden. We eat lots of spicy gingerbread cookies and drink our version of Gluhwein. We decorate the houses with <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/281337112/"><i><b>Pomanders</b></i></a> during Christmas time. </span><br>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Intense oils</b></span><br>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Spice oils are very intense so it is best to mix them up with some other oils before diffusing them in the room. For example, diffused clove oil can irritate the eyes so it should not be diffused more than a couple of minutes at a time. Spice oils such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger blend well with citrus oils. So I enjoy blending citrus oils such as orange, lemon, tangerine, bergamot, lime, and grapefruit with spice oils during the fall and winter. Closer to Christmas I like to add essential oils such as juniper, cypress, Balsam Fir, peppermint and pine to my diffuser.</span></span><br>
