What's Oils Got To Do With It

09/18/2021

SO MANY PERFUME BLENDS BELOW:
Save this post!

As much as I love my rollers, sometimes you want an awesome perfume blend. I was the perfume queen before I started using oils - I was known by my perfume. I quit using perfumes after I found out how horribly toxic they were and started making my own.

These are all blends for a small spray bottle ( this is not exact science, play around w blends!)

Add a splash of witch hazel and fill to the top with distilled water!!

While most essential oils appear to be safe during pregnancy, there are still a few that should be avoided. Most oils on this list are cautionary due to isolated constituent concerns and/or potential risk of reproductive toxicity in animal models (mice). In addition, toxicity during pregnancy due to some of these oils was due to pregnant women ingesting large, toxic doses of essential oils and not 'normal' use of essential oils topically or inhalation.

🤰🏽Most YL labels clearly state on the label for oils or oil blends with these oils “not intended for use during pregnancy” or like rutavala the label states “Do not use this oil if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or could possibly be pregnant”.

🤰🏽Tips when using essential oils while pregnant:
🌿Be mindful of your odor perceptions and sensitivities. During pregnancy there is a huge burst of olfactory neurons. Researchers hypothesize this may be a role in nausea, food aversions and olfactory sensitivities.

This may mean some EO's you like previously, you may not while pregnant. Or EOs may seem to smell differently or stronger to you. If your sense of smell seems more heightened, use a less amount of essential oils while diffusing or applying topically.

🌿Some caution use of clary sage while pregnant however it can be supportive during labor.

🌿Dilute essential oils to 1% in rollers and other EO products. Do not use undiluted EOs.

🌿It is generally not advised to roll essential oils directly on abdomen while pregnant.

🌿Do not ingest EO's while pregnant.

🌿Peppermint can be a pregnant woman's best friend to help support head tension, upset stomach, and areas of soreness.

🌿Lavender can be helpful to support sleep and stressful days.

🌿Valor when nervous about the upcoming birth.

🌿Citrus oils like lemon and grapefruit can be helpful for lifting mood and energy.

🌿Use gentle baby (or another oil of choice) in the delivery room to create a memory scent association of that beautiful time when baby was welcomed in the world.

This is such a powerful picture. 🤯

We spend money and time at...
The nail salon getting a manicure and pedicure. 💅🏻
_
The salon for hours getting our hair just the right color and cut. 💇🏼‍♀️
_
The department store stressing over clothes that fit our bodies just right. 👗
_
The spa getting facials and/or eyelashes that make our appearance more flawless. 🧖🏻‍♀️
_
Ulta or Sephora getting the perfect makeup to “paint our face” 💄
_
BUT.... we say it’s “too expensive” to take care of our inside. - We stop after 30 days.

We spend hours at Target and TJ Maxx but say we cannot spend time at the gym. We spend money on Amazon buying senseless things but say we cannot afford our supplements to make our bodies work better.
_
We spend massive amounts of money on the outside, the external, yet we say we cannot afford to go to the gym, take supplements, eat clean, cook at home or give ourselves 60 days in an accountability challenge.
_
Priorities. You only get ONE body. How long do you want it to last?
_
You can rhinestone the peel of a rotten banana... but it’s still a rotten banana.

Truly, taking care of the inside will show on the outside! Invest in your health, friends! Trust me, illness costs way more then health!♥️

Natural Medicine OR Western Medicine?
Oil OR medicate?
⠀⠀
What is with this word OR? That word should be replaced with the word AND.
⠀⠀
Lately it seems like people are tending to fall into two camps when it comes to medicine. Either they think Western medicine has all the answers and natural healthcare is a bunch of hocus-pocus, OR they think natural/alternative treatments are the only way to go, and Western medicine is toxic.
⠀⠀
There shouldn't be an OR. There is a time and place for both and both treatments are extremely beneficial to each other.
⠀⠀
Western medicine has changed greatly in just 50 years. Drugs have been developed that can pinpoint a molecule and affect how it reacts in the body. Organs can be transplanted. Lifespans have doubled.
⠀⠀
Natural medicine has also made huge leaps. Rather than investigating the individual symptoms in the human body, alternative medicine looks at the whole human and creating an equilibrium. From this standpoint, for example digestive problems may be causing emotional problems. What we are eating, drinking, how we manage stress, exercise, our sleep cycles all play a role in the equilibrium.
⠀⠀
I see it this way, we need BOTH. One isn't better than the other, they are better TOGETHER. I had breast cancer Western medicine could fix, and my essential oils are playing a huge role in my recovery. Singing praises for both!

Face it, everybody poops. 💩 But you don’t have to leave bathroom odors behind. ⠀
⠀
I threw together a quick and easy poo-spray that sits in our downstairs “community” bathroom because with a potty trained toddler & husband who seems to live in the bathroom (ahem, I know you’re just hiding from the chaos 🤪) ..we needed a natural deodorizer that was safe for little lungs and the whole family to spray.
