bodyBlog – for Every Body…Every Day!

I woke up Monday morning and checked my stat counter, saw that it was up 130 hits at 9am and thought the web counter was off. Then I went to a yoga class, came home at lunch time, checked the web counter again and had another 1,000 hits… then I saw the great review my product line got on sweetspot.ca. I must say it was a pleasant surprise and very sweet! Many people have showed an interest in the inhalers so I just want to say that they are fantastic! Great for people that work in environments where perfumes are not allowed. They fit into a pant or shirt pocket, can be kept in a drawer or in a purse easily. By the way… people that are allergic to perfumes usually are not allergic to pure essential oils, they are allergic to the synthetic chemical fragrances in toiletries and perfumes. Not only do the inhalers work for headache, stress, fatigue…they are great for the sinuses. Essential oils have natural antibacterial and antiviral properties and when you inhale, the molecules are entering into your body and working on the germs.

To see the product review….go to www.sweetspot.ca , type Skin Snack into the keyword area and click on go!

Thank You Sweetspot! sorry there is no cherry essential oil!

Last night an informational aromatherapy evening was hosted in Oakville by a group of ladies that get together monthly for social gatherings.  I was pleased to be able to answer some questions regarding essential oils and to give some information about aromatherapy use in general and how to use essential oils safely.  At first they were skeptical thinking I was there to sell product but honestly, although I do want my business to grow, I enjoy educating people because people need to know what they are dealing with and to understand the impact of Essential Oils.  If they aren’t used properly they can become a health hazard.  That is a big part of what I do and why I started the bodyFood line…to educate people and give them the option of having a truly healthy, therapeutic product for every day use.  Aromatherapy is a wonderful thing to incorporate into your every day life, it helps to relieve stress and contributes to strength of mind while giving the immune system a boost.

Just the other day an 11 year old girl came in with eczema all over her body and her mother at her wits end trying to find something to relieve it. Nature has provided many different plant derivatives for us to use… at least try! Shea butter is really good for skin conditions, yes it is more expensive but so is shipping some synthetic cream from the USA. Until you have tried alternative remedies, people don’t realize how well they work…so…before you put more cortisone creams on, or buy from the US…try something natural that is right at your fingertips.
