Essential Oil for cold and flu

Tis the season to get sick. There are 6 of us and half of us are out in public most of the day picking up all those nasty germs.

I've been sick for the past 5 days and yesterday I woke up with a sinus infection and I really thought I would have to go to the doctor.
I came across this site  that had good information on essential oils.
I used peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and eucalyptus oil in a steam with a towel over my head two time yesterday. I could feel the infection had drained out of my sinuses in to my lymph node in my neck. All night I softly rubbed my neck down ward to help move the fluid out. By the time I went to bed I was feeling much better! This morning I woke up still a little sore but so much better than yesterday. I'm glad I didn't go to the doctor to get pills!

I've got peppermint soap and eucalyptus soap so you can steam up in the shower!

coming up

Okay next Saturday the only new soap I'll have is the Lavender soap not the berries and twigs , they aren't ready yet. Plain Sandalwood Vanilla Berries and Twigs are soon to come, I'm making soap this afternoon too... so if there is soap you like let me know so I keep making it. The ones I don't sell well I might stop making unless someone likes it. Also the deodorant still using, still great, I'm going to post a variation for those who have sensitive skin. I haven't tried the lavender oil but as soon as I need to make more I will.

Laundry Soap

Today was the first day at the market! It was good weather , and I did well for the first day. If you are in Logan, every Saturday at Merlin Olsen Park there is the Gardeners Market , come and enjoy! It's were I'll be every Saturday I sell 20% Shae butter soap, Shae helps to not dry your skin out as much as other soaps (only $2.50 for a 4oz bar). Also, Laundry soap. For Laundry soap: 3 C. Borax 2 C. Soda Wash 2 C. Baking Soda 2 C. Laundry bar grated up Mix all in a bucket, it does about 90 loads of laundry use 1/8 c. - 1/4 c. per load. The baking soda should help soften your water but if you want to add oxi clean, that should help if your clothes are dingy. I know there are a lot of different ways to make laundry soap (and you can use my bars in all of them) but this is what I use and like. Let me know how you like it! You can find all this stuff were they sell laundry detergent at the store, the soda wash I haven't found at Wal -Mart but you can find it at Smith'
