What is Frankincense
Tuesday, July 17, 2018
Frankincense is an oil that should need no introduction. Even if one is not familiar with all of the medical benefits the oil has to offer we can all think of a use for Frankincense. This precious sap is harvested from the hardy but endangered Boswellia tree. We slash the tree to allow the resin to bleed out and harden creating tears. The oil is steam distilled from those tears.
Top 3 Uses of Rosemary
Tuesday, July 10, 2018
Use number one: Flavoring. I keep finding more and more dishes that call for Rosemary. This popular spice adds a savory flavor to your favorite dishes. Take your favorite recipe to the next level by substituting dried herbs with a drop of essential oils.
Use number two: Repel insects. It is a good thing that we humans love the scent of Rosemary as with all its many uses it also just smells nice to have it around. It is also good that bugs hate it. Diffuse it in your diffuser or add it to your perfumes and lotions to keep the little blighters at bay.
Use number three: Support healthy digestion. Rosemary is the first oil I used, and I first used it for this reason. Now I carry it with me always. I put it on before a meal I know might bring on indigestion or might make me gassy. Definitely a must before any trip to the fair.
Please let me know what you think in the comments.
Be well! -Kayla

Ah... Eucalyptus. This is an essential oil I carry in my purse daily.
Eucalyptus oil is
steam distilled from the leaves of the Eucalyptus radiata. These tall tree
"Gum trees" are native to Australia. The plant might be better known
as the favored food of the Koala Bear but for us it is a source of a versatile
and valuable oil.
