Power of Healing

I have been seeing clients lately who are stressed out and needing grounding. At the Bastyr Workshop last Saturday, folks needed the Chakra Balancing to help them start their year with a deep breath and lower stress than in 2009.

Essential Oils help the CNS (Central Nervous System) to re-balance itself. So, when you think about the New Year and all the potential (and responsibilities - gulp!) that it holds, incorporating Essential Oils into your bodycare, room spray, and inhalation routine will help you keep yourself balanced so that when opportunities/challenges arise, you will be better equipped to handle it all!

CNS Balancing Inhalation Oil
1 Roman Chamomile
2 Clary Sage (avoid during pregnancy)
7 Lavender
5 Lavindin
2 Neroli
6 Pettigrain

Add oils to a rollerball bottle and fill rest of bottle with Jojoba Oil. As always, see your Certified Aromatherapist to customize for your needs.

As always, thank you, and here's to 2010 - full of Solace!

Recent Online Store Review

Happy Holidays!

Our online store has been received warmly!

Here's a review from a recent customer:

Carol,

Sorry I'm waiting so long to let you know, but I like to give beauty products a good long try before giving feedback. Your lotion is the best. I will definitely be back for more. The reason I actually bought it was because it has willowbark and neem oil in it, which is good for breakouts. Yours is the first lotion I can use on my face that takes care of winter dryness without making me break out or giving me a rash, and I have tried a lot. Plus it smells great without the fragrance being so strong as to give me a headache (which is a big deal since I don't usually like scented products). This is the first winter that my skin is not a dried mess from all the cold air. You definitely have a great product and I will give you some nice feedback. Thanks!
