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!

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.

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'...

Cleaning Your Face Naturally

Cleaning your face with olive oil...I know right?, how can oil clean your face...    It was a bout a year ago I came across this post about the oil cleaning method. I was doing research to find information on what would be a good face soap i could make. This was not at all what I was looking for and I thought oil really, but I'm one to try it all if just once, and I had olive oil so why not.   Here’s a direct quote from acne.org : “ Oil dissolves oil. One of the most basic principals of chemistry is that “like dissolves like.” The best way to dissolve a non-polar solvent like sebum/oil, is by using another non-polar solvent similar in composition: other oils. By using the right oils, you can cleanse your pores of dirt and bacteria naturally, gently and effectively, while replacing the dirty oil with beneficial ones extracted from natural botanicals, vegetables and fruit that heal, protect and nourish your skin . When done properly and consistently, the OCM...
