Essential oils are now being approved in Canada as Natural Health Products (NHP) as a safe, effective way to manage headaches, acne, colds and coughs, eczema and dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, strains and sprains, digestive discomforts, burns, cuts and bruises to list only a few.

If you are interested to embark on a more natural approach and adding essential oils to you and/or your family’s day to day life, let me know. I would love to help you get started.

We all know about the everyday power of scent: how a particular perfume reminds you of your mother, or when the smell of your favorite restaurant brings you back to your first date there. But did you know that some scents can actually improve your health? Essential oils can also help you relax or sleep, or improve your skin or digestion — their benefits go well beyond a pleasant smell.
Essential oils can have a healing effect mentally, physically, and emotionally. You can apply them directly onto your skin (topically with or without dilution), internally (can also be used as dietary supplements), or aromatically through a diffuser.
There are some general tips for using essential oils that apply regardless of the type. If you are looking for signs of a high-quality therapeutic-grade oil: pure, medicinal, and steam distilled. Before applying oils directly to your skin, always do a test-patch, as their high concentration can cause a reaction or irritation. Essential oils can be diluted with water or a carrier oil like “fractioned coconut oil”. And with a few exceptions, as noted below, do not ingest essential oils. And always talk to your doctor about health concerns, especially if they represent sudden changes in your well-being.
