BATH: Have a regular “warming” bath - here is a recipe you will want to use over and over! Mix these together well.
1/2 cup warm milk
1 desert spoon of honey
2 drops of Ginger
2 drops of Cedarwood
2 drops of Rosewood
(Add once you have a full bath and are ready to step into it)
Just aaaHHHH! Make sure the bathroom is warm too!!!
Light a Candle, turn off the lights have some of your relaxation music going!
Visualise yourself as totally well and engerised, free of aches and pains!
VAPORISE: Blend or Frankincense, Rosewood and Lavender. 3 drops of each.
MASSAGE: Marjoram, Frankincense and Niaouli to ease aches and pains associated with the flu. 3 drops or each into 10mls of carrier oil. If you have Olive Oil that will do as Olive oil is very warming to the muscles.
POOR CIRCULATION:
Add 1 drop of Black Pepper and 1 drop of Ginger to a 50 cent piece size of hand and body lotion and massage into your feet and hands.
Tips for Kiddies –
1 or 2 drops of Niaouli on your child’s hankies popped into their pocket for school will help fight any cold and flu infections.
A Damp ‘Face Washer with 3-4 drops of Lavender popped into a sandwich bag, for them to wipe their hands with before eating lunch ANYTIME of the year is also a good way to help keep your cherished children healthy.
Stay Healthy and Happy!
Love and Light sent to all!
