SELF MASSAGE
Self massage is a nice way to spend some quality time with yourself practicing kindness and deep breathing techniques. Below is a tip on essential oils you can use for personal massage for various ailments. Each month I will pick a topic to cover.
​
Self-massage is a time tested way to reconnect with the body and spirit. It brings you back in balance with the deep breathing techniques, whatever you may be experiencing. It increases circulation, stimulates organ function. It helps your body detox and improves sleep. It also has many other potential benefits, such as slowing aging, nourishing your skin or preventing injury. It relieves tired, sore, aching muscles which promote healing to your entire body. It also gives you time for some self reflection and our busy times, taking a break might be just what you need.
​
Any massage oil can be used for daily massages or specific essential oils can be used for physical, mental, and emotional benefits. A good basic massage oil is jojoba oil or sweet almond oil.

VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS
I will suggest types and doses of vitamins and supplements for a therapeutic benefit of healthy living.
​
Vitamins and supplements are products designed to augment your daily intake of nutrients, including minerals. Many are safe and offer significant health benefits, but there are some that pose health risks, especially if overused. Dietary supplements include amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes, probiotics, herbals, botanicals, and animal extracts. Each month I will suggest a new vitamin and give you a breakdown of its benefits and possible risks if not taken correctly.
Take a quality probiotic. Another one I recently came across for your hair is e-tocotrienols.
​
Anything I find of note I will put here after I have tested them thoroughly myself. And again if you have any questions please feel free to contact me, I will get back to you personally.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils can be used for many ailments and various ways. They can be used aromatically, they can be used topically as in massage and internally, taken in a capsule form. Essential oils are versatile in their delivery system so they can be applied to just about every different ailment you can think of and different people because of that reason. You can see me personally for DoTerra Oils.
​
Essential oils are highly concentrated, volatile plant extracts. They can be used in many forms, for massage oils, aroma therapy, and internally. Knowing which oil to use when, how and for what reason can give you a headache just trying to sort it all out. Here are some tips below.
For pain you can use many different oils topically. The key is finding the right combination for your pain and skin tolerance. Once you find it, voila.
Try using one or a combination of these 10: lavender, eucalyptus, lemon, rosemary, clove, cypress, fir, cedar-wood, marjoram or wintergreen. If these were unsuccessful contact me for further suggestions, I have many more than on this list, but this is a good list to start with.
