Essential Oil History Lesson

2012-07-29T19:23:00.000-07:00

Essential Oils throughout History

Essential oils have been used throughout recorded history for a wide variety of wellness applications. The Egyptians were some of the first people to use aromatic essential oils extensively in medical practice, beauty treatment, food preparation, and in religious ceremony. Frankincense, sandalwood, myrrh and cinnamon were considered very valuable cargo along caravan trade routes and were sometimes exchanged for gold.
Borrowing from the Egyptians, the Greeks used essential oils in their practices of therapeutic massage and aromatherapy. The Romans also used aromatic oils to promote health and personal hygiene. Influenced by the Greeks and Romans, as well as Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic use of aromatic herbs, the Persians began to refine distillation methods for extracting essential oils from aromatic plants. Essential oil extracts were used throughout the dark ages in Europe for their anti-bacterial and fragrant properties.
In modern times, the powerful healing properties of essential oils were rediscovered in 1937 by a French chemist, Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, who healed a badly burnt hand with pure lavender oil. A French contemporary, Dr. Jean Valnet, used therapeutic-grade essential oils to successfully treat injured soldiers during World War II. Dr. Valnet went on to become a world leader in the development of aromatherapy practices. The modern use of essential oils has continued to grow rapidly as health scientists and medical practitioners continue to research and validate the numerous health and wellness benefits of therapeutic-grade essential oil.

Wouldn't you love to use pure oils from these countries, well doTERRA Essential Oils Company goes right to the source of where the plant originated to get the purest, healthiest, truly native source of plant to access their oils out of.

Wanta Wipe out that Acne face, I know a way!

2012-07-12T13:42:00.000-07:00

I have been testing this Essential oil out for awhile now. My first experience with it was at a show, I had a very sore spot near my nose. I commented about how sore it was but it wasn't even red on the top surface yet. My Mom said put this Clear Skin (Dr. Hills Info on Clear Skin at this link here) on and rub it in and then don't touch the area. About 4 hours later I went into the bathroom and there on my face where the sore spot had been was a huge white head. Of coure I wasn't going to stand at this booth all daywith a big white ziter on the face for all to stare at so I got rid of it and washed the area and then went back to find my Moms bottle of Clear Skin to place another dab on the broken surface. It healed very quickly and its been that way pretty much every time I have used it on any acne spot that I put it on so far. Here is a few clips out of Dr. Lawtons info on how these oils help skin blemishes. These oils are mixed in this powerful Essential Blend of Clear Skin.

Black Cumin Seed Oil:

Black seed contains many beneficial vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B2 and C, plus iron, magnesium, zinc and potassium. Additionally, black cumin seeds contain several amino acids, including arginine, alanine, aspargine, tyrosine, linoleic acid, thymoquinone and tryptophan. Black Cumin Seed oil is amazing for wound recovery, skin elasticity and rapid bacterial balance

Rosewood:
Excellent for skin repair and for centering of energy. Very soothing for skin distress and aging. Helps to clear mucus glands, has sedative properties, heals pimples, sores, acne, dermatitis, scars, wounds, wrinkles and general skin care: sensitive, dry, dull, combination skin all respond very well to this oil.

Melaleuca:
Works on: Athlete’s foot, thrush, cold sores, herpes, insect bites, dark spots, acne, and minor abrasions; open wounds, scrapes, blisters, Candida Rash, warts, abrasions, dandruff, Jock Itch relief, eczema, seborrhea.

Eucalyptus:
Analgesic, anti-bacterial, anti-catarrhal, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, antiviral, decongestant and expectorant. Great for acne recovery
Happy to work with other oils in this blend to facilitate penetration of elements for repair of skin in its many layers.

Geranium:
anti-fungal, astringent for skin, haemostatic; Geranium is: an effective antidepressant, antibacterial, anti-infectious, antiseptic, astringent, deodorant, gentle diuretic, haemostatic (it stops bleeding), is a general stimulant so adds nicely to the active repair part of so many elements of this blend; Valnet spoke highly of Geranium as an anti cancer agent for some of the early identified cancers.

Geranium is a great balancer of essential oils, due to it being an adrenal cortexstimulant, it helps regulate hormones and moods alike. It is one of the most useful essential oils to detoxify the lymphatic system and help eliminate cellulite, Geranium is often included in lymphatic drainage massage blends.

Lemongrass:
detoxes layers of skin tissue so that inflammation can be reduced excellent effectiveness with Staph infections, bladder infections, fluid retention, kidney disorders, lymphatic drainage, and strengthens vascular walls.

Pretty amazing stuff is all I gotta say you should try some on those dang zits that I thought were only supposed to be around as a teen. http://www.mydoterra.com/brookejones/ That's where you can find it back at that link website and under shop and I promise it works, its powerful stuff too.

Geting rid of Pests - the Terror of Horrible smells!!

2012-06-26T17:01:00.002-07:00

I am really affected by smells and those ones that come in a bottle of Raid to get rid of bugs is no different. The one that has to be used to keep the mosquitoes at bay is the worst. Some days I just go ahead an endure the bites because the smell is so yucky from the off or repellents that we have to use. Well that’s not the case anymore. TERRASHIELD Essential oil from doTERRA works to keep them away and calms the bites if they got me before the spray was placed on my skin. It smells like vanilla sweet like that and it is pleasant to my airway. Look on that cool pest control list down there for other things that it can do to rid bugs of from my area. Cool is the result I am thinking.

Yep Hurry Junes almost gone and its a sweet deal. Not only that but it works and is safe on kids faces and arms and won't make them

sick from the smell. http://www.mydoterra.com/brookejones/ click back there to get some of your own and use it like this. 8 to 16 oz spray bottle filled with water add 20 or so drops in the spray bottle. Shake before spraying and it lasts about 6 hours to keep them pesky biters away.

Lavender ( Baby Powder Recipe)

2012-05-24T15:22:00.002-07:00

Can you believe it, this lavender oil will cut a burn, make a bug bite manageable, work better then neosporin. We all 9 of us have put it right to the test at our house.

When there are lots of boys in a house there is going to be a

cut or two or four. Burns not as often but they happen especially when its summer and no shirt is the order of the day. I just add it to a spray bottle of water so it spreads farther and spray on the burn or before going tanning to get a burn. We have used this for years at our house in diaper rash ointments, baby cornstarch mix to replace baby powder (someone at our house is allergic to talc) so this works better. But now I am the one who is mixing the mix for baby powder gifts and adding my own Lavender from doTERRA (read info on this oil back on this link). Yep go here to get your own lovely smelling baby making ingredient.

http://www.mydoterra.com/brookejones/

Natural Baby Powder Recipe

* 1/2 cup arrowroot powder (cornstarch can promote candida so I don't use it anymore.)
* 8 drops of organic lavender oil ( if you purchase a 5 ml bottle it will contain approx 100 drops )
* Optional : White Clay I get mine from Redmond Clay http://www.redmondclay.com/ , sometimes called Kaolin Clay or White Cosmetic Clay
* A Container I used an old container that had powdered makeup to shake out of the holes but you could use (a wide mouth jar with a powder puff for dabbing the powder onto your baby’s bottom)
Have fun creating and smelling nice
My boys have used Melaluca (read info on this oil back on this link) in the powder mix to put in their shoes or on that area that can chafe when the legs rub together. Just another oil that can help when it comes to powders.

My good friends father who has had both legs cut off and uses this lavender oil applying it to the stumps to heal the sores that come because of his prostheses. After 34 years of painful sores he is free from this frustration because of the Lavender oil. He wipes the insides of the plastic sleeves with Melaluca to keep the bacteria from breeding there when he wears his legs.

Essential oils are amazing go ahead give them a try its worth the smell and staying away from toxins.

2012-05-12T11:12:00.000-07:00

I am really coming to love this essential oil. It's been a great balancer in my morning routine. I have some son's who use it when they are feeling very overwhelmed. It takes the stress right out of the situations that we face everyday. Mixed in some coconut oils it would make a great shaving cream. I think I will be trying that for my guys there are several at this house who are shaving and getting to dream about shaving.

Please go to this website to see about getting some of your own. http://www.mydoterra.com/brookejones/ .

Get Rid of Lysol and Do a safe All Purpose Cleaner Recipe

2012-05-04T20:44:00.000-07:00

So you know how when you catch your baby holding the spray bottle filled with Lysol Spray Cleaner and you want to scream and cry for fear because you know that they have been sucking the toxic cleaner out of the nosal end. Here is a very safe alternative with proven research info that will not harm your baby if that curious little thing gets into your cleaning bucket while your scrubbing away at the germs.

Two ways to choose.

Spray bottle filled with water and Lemon Essential Oil from doTERRA.

Or 1/4 cup Vinegar, 1 cup water and 30 drops of Lemon Oil.(link to why this oil is so good to clean with)

You can also use Lavender, Eucalyptus,or Wild Orange.(any time a word has color its a link check it out.)

To do heavy traffic door handles use On Guard oil especially in the winter time.

To make an even tougher cleaner lets add a 1teaspoon of Borax or Baking Soda. Ooop scary some will say, not going to spray that on my counter, well here's a few linky views that may help you decide if that's the way you want to move in your recipe mix. Crunchy Betty says Getting to the Bottom of Borax and then of course there is the infamous (as my kids call it) Wikipedia.

So there's the scoop or the spray however you want to see it.

Personally I like getting rid of the toxic Lysol and going green and feeling like the toast that gets set on the counter isn't picking up some residue that's harmful. You can actually consume doTERRA oils they are that safe but your not supposed to do that with Lysol.

If I could I would put a big red X over that Lysol container. Which one would you choose to use? Healthy spray bottle with consumable oil or toxic Lysol wipes or sprays?

On this link you can see lots of other ways to use doTERRA oils as a cleaner with the recipes and all, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Wood Floor Cleaner, etc. just hit all those words back there.

(Key: any colored words are usually a link on this blog.)

Non Toxic Homemade Antibacterial Liquid "Soap"

2012-04-23T11:06:00.000-07:00

I made my own liquid hand soap which was because of someone else's finding and sharing a recipe of course on Pintrest, but mine has my own little twist because I used an Essential Oil called, On Guard, it is so amazing. There are antibacterial properties in this soap and it does not make my little guys hands crack and bleed from using it. It's helped keep my kids from getting the flu this year and the ones that did get the flu were only sick a very short time. With 7 kids, 6 of them boys that's a feat I would say.

So here goes sharing my own Non Toxic antibacterial liquid Soap from our house to yours.

1 Bar of no scent soap, I choose Ivory because it's known to not cause allergic reactions as often.
2 Tablespoons of Glycerin bought at the store in the Pharmacy area.
1 Gallon of boiling water.

Shave the soap then place shavings in the water until dissolved, I stirred it and then let it cool all night. See in that big silver pot.

Next morning I took my beaters mixed it up to break up all the chunks.

Added 30 drops of the On Guard Essential Oil that comes from doTERRA Essential Oils

Go click back there on the word doTERRA to get some.

It has a very clean grapefruit,clove, cinnamon smell to it.

Why use that essential oil? Well it's incredible properties and qualities are all listed at this LINK and this LINK and this LINK too.

Try your own soap and then make your own nontoxic antibacterial soap that won't make your kids hands crack and bleed.

Make over your Medicine Cabinet so its safer and healthier.

2012-04-13T16:12:00.002-07:00

So here's a question for you do you like wondering what the medicine you take might do to your insides?

Do you want to use natural products that works and increases your health instead?

So which one costs more? Enlarge the photo notice the code numbers and see what you could use to replace the medicine that is in a drug store with one that is natural.

Place your guess and I will give you an answer with a sample of my favorite Essential Oil. Deep Blue Rub.

Tailbones are important!

2012-03-15T12:02:00.002-07:00

So just when its warming up in this crazy Utah weather and the urge to run at all costs is sitting in my mind bugging me and pestering me, What do I go and do, slip down the stairs with full load of laundry bucket and bang the heck out of my tailbone on six steps.

There is wood under that carpet you know. So frustrating because now I can't even get a hop along speed of any kind going. I had to have broken it, definitely bruised it, there are big dark spots all over my back and bottom end.

I went right back up the stairs after the fall put an amazing oil called DEEP BLUE RUB on the whole area along with Helichrysum and Lavender oils. All of them are from doTERRA essential oils.
Go here to learn more yep click it on that line back there.

Did you know that Lavender keeps swelling down and it did just that. Never had time for an ice pack as it was time to leave for work right then. No swelling that I thought was abnormally out of control happened. The Deep Blue Rub is warm and penetrating and went right to that owie spot. Yes I am going to admit that in the middle of the night I had to have alot of painkiller to keep from passing out from the pain but every time I used the Deep Blue Rub it warmed me back out of shock and helped reduce the owie factor.

You want more in depth info go here. http://www.doterra.com/tools/documents/DeepBlueRubPIP.pdf

I haven't missed a day of work. I have used painkillers helping for at least 3 days and then only at night because its apparent its a broken tailbone. I just kept Lavender on for two days, along with soaking in the hot tub with some drops in my water along with Deep Blue Oil drops. I walk normal but I havent ran yet, dang its going to be awhile.

Whee time flies!!!

I am back!
Fiddling away a blog moment is tricky! Our computers crashed dead it takes time to get them back to.
I have so much going on I feel like I am drowning some days!
I gained, not lots, but more then I want to. Mostly because I can't ever carve time to get on treadmill these days. And its stressful in my job at the moment. I work with a severly handicaped girl and it makes me tired at times. I miss several bloggers gotta read and catch up somehow.

HCG does work but you have to have to have to keep working out with a walk, run, Insanity, P90x once you hit your goal spot! I maintained for well over a year and a half so I know this for sure.

I love Shakeologys new strawberries meal replacement drink! Now if I could get a min of P90x.

I now love doTerra oils. Check them out, more of my posts will talk about them.

Life is good, busy and moving fast but thats better then siting and molding old right.

I am alive and here is my green hoop house and Garden.

2011-09-07T06:49:00.000-07:00

We prepped the ground with lots of fertilizer from of course the cow pens down yonder.

Built a frame that holds the pipe in a curve and wont let if flip up. Laid soaker hoses all over the ground and put plastic over the top.

The last phase will be to put the plastic cover over but since it finally warmed up we will wait till the end of the season to put it on.

I pulled back some of the plastic in the center point to plant little rows of lettuce and radishes and green onions. I figure I can stay ahead of that much weeding space in the inside.

We tried our hand at a few green beans some grew some did not. Of course these are on the outside because they have a shorter growing season.

Check out that yonder weed patch that sits right on the edge. This years moisture grew all kinds of stuff that is already going brown now that the rain and snow is gone on a daily bases.

These are onions with some lettuce and chives and carrots of course trying to stay ahead of the weed patch that can take over.

Its been a lovely garden and I am now eating the produce from it.

I started another HCG round to drop the summer no run, few pounds gained. We have had lots of fun picking out the veggies that are here and now I get to use them to lose the non attentiveness. The kids have kept me so busy with animal raising and then our faraway boy returning has made lots of changes so the pounds crept back on and yikes when the Levis were tight one day after wearing lose summer shorts I got back on the weight management ball, so here's to loosing my summer roll in the middle that I didn't relize was getting back on me.

Where do you put the fat back on?

Tummy

Thighs

Chest

Hips

Bottom

Summer busy and having fun.

2011-07-15T08:12:00.000-07:00

I am so busy its crazy.
Still sticking close to my end weight but moving up a few pounds with all the holiday BBQ and reunions and you know not paying attention as well as a person should.

The lovely Aunt also throws a loop or two in there.

Love Coconut oil dropped three pounds after starting taking some of my own home made chocolate treats once a day. Not sure why but who cares it was a good release of the pounds.

The garden is getting there. I have a rabbit that keeps eating all my lettuce so that is not too cool and something is going to have to be done so I can get some for myself.

Keep having and amazing summer. We are counting down the days to when our faraway Africa boy returns. Yippy can't wait.

Diabetes, Obiesity, lack of growth hormons and hypothulmus

2011-06-25T09:13:00.000-07:00

You know that part where you read in Dr. Simeon's protocol about reorganizing the hypothalamus? At the time that I read this I had just started giving my little guy shots to trip his growth within his brain because the hormone was lacking.

Endocrinologists are so cool.

Lets add the fact that why I had gained during the last few years was in part because Little Guy had lived in a hospital for 7 months with me camping in a trailer in the parking lot away from my other 6 children and the hubby, two hours away to be exact. He had to be born 3 months early.
Lets add that I almost died, my hormones were screwed up, my kidneys had tried to shut down, the liver was whacked, so delivery was necessary and then me eating and eating, not what I would have cooked and ya trying to salve the stress somehow through the chocolates and sweets that release endorphins sending it to the brain to help calm the turmoil going on.

Then lets add Dr. statements like well if Jer lives he will go to school with a trach and a vent for the rest of his life, But there are no nurses who are willing to come relieve you ( we live very rurally located) so that you can sleep through the night as he needs 24 hours watch to keep the trachea from clogging. Uh if you don't sleep its hard to lose weight and usually you gain.

Well you get the craziness that would come from that kind of life. STRESSSSSSSSSS!

Talk about a Mom really feeling like she was up against a wall.

Then lets add the looming factor that diabetes is huge I mean huge in my household. We already have another member who is a maintainer and not on shots but someday it could happen. What about my other kids, will the way I feed them make them be even more susceptible to the genetic factors that are in their systems?

A diet of corn syrup, or high sugar containing food with no fibers and veggies the kind that school lunches are seemingly turning to more and more or the fast food that kids take as a that's how we eat now attitude. Celery what the heck is that? Just give me a biggy sized burger without the tomatoes or the lettuce out and make sure there is ketchup loaded with corn syrup too.

My kids think I am mean because we rarely buy pop only for camping. The veggies drawer is full all the time now. And I say if your hungry eat an apple or an egg that's boiled. Eating out is only if we are not at home or near home because we did not plan well and often times I pack lunches to go when we are not going to be near home.

Now you know why I want to keep the weight off and the foods healthy at all times along with the activity levels really high, its a matter of helping me feel good and staying in shape now.
Why study nutrition and the hows whys and whens are so important to me, cause I always have to figure out how to get the little guy to eat a veggie without knowing that he actually ate asparagus in disguised or strawberries blended in a smoothie that's secretive.

I question everything and make sure to test out all things with scepticism and want to know why and how it works on a cause affect level not just because you or the Doctor's says so.
Well the good news is the Jer little guy is finally hitting the chart, barley but he is making it. And me I am still maintaining a healthy set weight. Right at 140 lb still would love to maybe go down but it just does not seem to work that way for me. Besides when you stick in all the small jeans in your closet you gotta be happy and that's me. I hope your all having am amazing summer my garden is getting yummy green.

Summer is full force.

2011-06-04T13:36:00.000-07:00

You know how all of a sudden your life does not seem like your own when you have chillins. Well add that to the fact that I have job riding a bus with a whole lot more chillins and then I really start to feel like the chillins all have life sucking motives.

Well now that all the get done with the end of school programs and settling into lazy summer mornings and whip cracking get your job done afternoons I think I might have a handle on the summer. Ha who's kidding who! But at least I will keep trying.

Next post will be filled with the most wonderful dream come true green house. Who's dream, mine or the Hubbies, is a real toss up. Two days ago we had to turn our house heaters on it has been so cool thus the dream come true if we are ever going to slash the grocery bill for the summer.

Nightmare: our lower bottom of our farm is flooding from the spring run off that has not even hit peak yet. Its only done this two other times but this time its being a doosy since the river is cutting the banks where 100 year old trees have stood. A whole field of hay has been wiped out.

Thrilled: Far away mission boy will be home the first part of Aug. Has it really almost been two years wow how the time has flown. Most likely he will go far away again to school but at least we can call him and not have it cost us a fortune and we get to see him for a little while.

Computer mess: Technology is really cool but it sure can stress you when your dependent on its every feature. Our computer caught a virus and so all are hesitant to go into things. It has been fixed by experts. Its also overwhelmed since two of the chillens are doing extra school online to jump ahead.

Eating and Exercise: I have to pump it in to gear and start clocking the run miles since the far away boy has placed a challenge and has been running even with crappy old shoes and he says he wants me to do a 5K with him. Hard thing is the K boy always wants to go with me and he is not of long legs so we can't go to far before he gets sore and tired.
Eating is Divine: I love that Shakeology and I am sitting right on 140.0 again no matter what I do I can not go down on the scale and it also doesn't matter what I eat I pretty much bounce up and then go right back to that scale spot. But the gut is really getting tight and the skin is getting firm cause the muscle is stronger and stronger. AND THATS soooo nice. Have a great summer mine is feeling full full full, a photo gallery to come soon.

Proud of my Mom

2011-05-09T12:00:00.000-07:00

My title today reflects the fact that ya my Mom is getting back into her healthy grove and I am going to say that I am way pleased about it. Even to the point of saying, Hey I am proud of MY Mom. Last year at this time I was filled with the hope that somehow I could show her the path that I had found and the way to lose weight along with getting really healthy foods into my system and yet I just could not figure out a way. Now today because of my example and dilagence my Mom over the last month at the golden years has gotten to the 199 on the scale after being several several pounds above that point for several years.
She always taught me healthy ways to eat but lots of stress that comes with Mommy years held her in the not able to lose weight area, but not anymore. I too have learned that I must watch when those Mommy stresses show up in my life that I am learning to not eat into them but instead face them head on and keep the green food there an kick that nasty stuff that gets me back to fat as far away as I can while I face the Mommy stress at hand whatever that may be.

For me Mothers day started off with a call to South Africa to talk with far away mission boy, priceless. Then the kids at home begging that we go eat the most carb,sugar filled meal of all since we just never ever go get chinese food "except on Mothers Day". When the heck did that become a tradition that I can't remeber being in place past yr 2008. Oh well I caved since if they cooked I would still have to clean up. I ate lots of brocoli beef and chicken with the bread picked off and salad salad salad. They promised that they would eat enough that they would never even need dinner that evening (hmm is that really healthy for kids?)

Home to take a nap that did not happen because instead the Pretty girl gave me a pedicure and a manicure with spring color to go on my nails. Then I watched as each of her brothers begged to have either thier nails or feet done. Even C boy begged but she would only do his if she could paint his toenails when she was done. He caved in and allowed her, I bet he has a bottle of hidden remover that he would not let on that he had because he is just smart like that or maybe crazy because these boys do things like light potaote booms with the stuff. I mean seriously on Fri. I came home from work to find 3 live fish in my bath tub. Muddy boots on the deck, at least they had changed the water in the field of the Alfalfa hay. Along with one really muddy dog that they were letting in the house. Pre Mothers day tears was the lot I had going on and then lets top it with a trip to the ER because C boy tried to be in a hurry and the lighter fluid explode up on to his face and chest with no shirt on, causeing 2 degree burns to lots of his skin and face.
Mommy stess at its fullest right there and we still had two days to go before celebrating the love that they should show thier Mother.
Anywhoos-
Finally the real Mothers day ended with me talking to that amazing Mom that I have, just before she went to bed.
I love you Mom alot!
Thanks JBS for a good moment to tell about being a Mother and honoring my very own mother.
