The natural medicine everyone loves to hate -DANDELION. Taraxacum officinale is a cooling/drying herb with bitter, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and probiotic properties. It supports healthy digestive function, congestion in the liver & gallbladder and helps stabilize blood sugar. It is helpful for hypertension, urinary & prostate infection,gout,arthritis and rheumatism because of its potassium & magnesium rich diuretic action. Our medicine is right there for us to utilize.

Balsam fir is the scent of the season! Abies balsamea immediately puts us in the holiday mood.
Balsam is also a fabulous winter ally as it helps clear phlegm from the system and aids with cough & congestion. It is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antibacterial.
The essential oils from the fir tree is beneficial to skin by supporting skin conditions such as scabies and scarring. The aromatherapy of these tiny needles can relieve anxiety and promote sleep. And, of course, it smalls AMAZING!

First of many aromatherapy posts. Aromatherapy is the practice of using naturally distilled essence of plants to promote health and well-being of your body, mind, and emotions. These "essential oils" can be used topically and inhaled for maximum benefit
We'll start with a seasonal favorite of ours...Frankincense!
Boswellia carteri is actually sap from the tree that once in contact with air hardens into amber lumps.
Frankincense oil reduces inflammation, fights infection, and clears excess mucus. It tightens and tones skin, and stimulates cell regeneration. It increases urination and tones the uterus.
We love Frankincense for it's ability to calm mental anxiety, nervous tension & stress. It's energy is stabilizing and centering and helps to focus energy.
