ALONG THE MEADOW

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a huge piece of the puzzle in keeping myself and my family healthy. We started on a natural health journey a little over ten years ago when my oldest child was born and we haven’t looked back since. Since then we’ve switched everything in our home to a nontoxic solution and learned about better ways to support our physical and emotional health. It’s now become my passion to help people do the same thing!

Want to know why I love using aromatherapy? Listed below are ways that essential oils work to benefit us…

  • they reach each every cell in your body within 20 minutes when applied topically
  • help eliminate toxins in your body
  • help support the different systems of the body: digestive, nervous, muscular, and more
  • promote cellular regeneration
  • pass through the blood-brain barrier
  • work on emotions via the limbic system of your brain
  • promote healthy emotional wellness and relax and clear the mind
  • transport nutrients
  • powerful antioxidants
  • remove toxins in the air
  • promote healthy, breathable air
  • a great alternative to chemical or toxic fragrances

But you have to be wise with where you get your oils. You won’t get these therapeutic benefits from a generic essential oil found at the supermarket. Those oils are typically adulterated with synthetics and alcohol. As a result they won’t work as effectively as a pure essential oil and you could possibly be putting yourself and your family at risk for toxic exposure. It’s important to do your research not only so you can get results but so you can stay safe!

Being trained as an Herbalist and then becoming internationally certified as an Aromatherapist means that quality is a huge factor for me in deciding what natural products to put on our bodies and to use in our home. Young Living is a brand that I have researched and trust. They go to great lengths to make sure you are getting some of the purest and most effective essential oils out there. Everything from using non GMO seeds to hand weeding their fields so they don’t have to use chemical weed killers ensures a superior product.

I can’t talk about corn without my mind going to I can’t talk about corn without my mind going to my Grandmother’s farmhouse in Illinois. It was my happy place and where I fell in love with nature. It was slow simple living at it’s best. 

I’d give anything to spend another summer there as a kid. To spend the day taking a long walk down Route 66 with my sister then gathering corn from the field and shucking it for dinner, having a cup of tea with my Grandma while playing cards and sleeping with the windows open because those old farmhouses can sure get hot in the summer! I’ll treasure that time there in my heart forever. ❤️
Don’t throw away those corn silks!!! 🌽 Turn t Don’t throw away those corn silks!!! 🌽 Turn them into tea instead! Corn silks are wonderful for all things bladder and urinary system related. They have a diuretic, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect on the body with a cooling energy that can balance excess heat. I love that it is a useful plant ally to people of all ages and stages of life! 

One ear of corn will give you enough silks for 2-3 cups of tea and if you are dealing with an acute issue such as a urinary tract infection or kidney stones it’s recommended to drink one cup 3x a day. Corn silk can be dried to keep for future use or made into a tincture. 

It has a very mild sweet flavor and like pine needles tea a squeeze of an orange slice or some honey can help elevate the taste. Have you ever tried Corn silk tea before? 🌽 🫖
