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.

Avena sativa also known as Milky oats or Oatstraw Avena sativa also known as Milky oats or Oatstraw is one of the most impactful herbs that I’ve ever worked with. I started using it regularly during a time where my nervous system was severely unregulated. 😫

The results were nothing short of amazing! I was way less stressed, not as easily triggered, slept better and even felt physically better thanks to the vitamins and minerals. 🌿

Herbalist Michael Moore said that Oatstraw is an ideal herb for those with “crispy critter syndrome” referring to those people who are overworked, burnt out and constantly in fight or flight mode. 

Beyond helping to regulate the nervous system Oatstraw has many other benefits for women including it’s ability to balance hormones (menopausal ladies, you need this one), increase milk production and helping with postpartum recovery. 💕

You can find Oatstraw in 3 of my tea blends…Happy, NORA and Nurse More. 🫖

NORA Pregnancy Tea 🤰 is a must-have if you’re NORA Pregnancy Tea 🤰 is a must-have if you’re expecting! 

NORA is an acronym for Nettle • Oatstraw • Red raspberry • Alfalfa. I also add a touch of Spearmint to my blend!

🌿 Nettle – nourishing to the adrenals and high in vitamins, minerals and protein, helps to maintain blood sugar levels, use postpartum for milk supply

🌿 Oatstraw – similar properties to Nettle as a nerve and nutritive tonic

🌿 Red raspberry leaf – high in vitamins and minerals, toning to the uterus, historically used by Indigenous tribes

🌿 Alfalfa – one of the richest sources of vitamins including vitamin K, minerals and protein

🌿 Spearmint – a nervine and relaxant and a yummy edition to the typical NORA tea blend, helps to also keep nausea at bay

According to master herbalist Rachel Weaver, drinking this blend faithfully will help to shorten the duration and intensity of labor. 🙌
