FIT FOR SANDLES FOOT BATH BLEND

Posted on Monday 27 April 2009

100ml Coconut Oil

20 drops Mandarin Australian Essential Oil

10 drops Patchouli Essential Oil

10 drops Peppermint Mitcham Essential Oil

Gently melt the coconut oil in a bowl over hot water. Add the essential oils, and pour into ice cube trays (small cubes are best). Leave to set in the fridge and then add one block per footbath. Store the unused blocks in a jar in the fridge, as the low melting point of Coconut Oil could mean your blocks will melt back into a solid mass on hot days if stored in a cupboard!

Stress-related Anxiety

Posted on Saturday 14 February 2009

For many of us, stress and the anxiety it causes are an unavoidable part of our daily lives. A low level of stress is indeed often necessary to motivate us, but it is important to keep its impact within a level you can tolerate. If allowed to dominate, stress can cause intense anxiety and a general deterioration in health. It can also increase the risk of more serious ailments developing, such as stomach ulcers and heart disease. Many essential oils help to reduce stress by promoting relaxation, in particular the more expensive, highly aromatic ones, such as rose otto, neroli, and true melissa. Fortunately, other less expensive oils can be as effective: clary sage, geranium, Roman chamomile, juniper berry, lavender, sandalwood, sweet marjoram, and ylang ylang are all useful in providing stress management.
