Relieve Cold and Flu Symptoms with Eucalyptus Essential Oil

    Back to school season generally means back to germ season. With the added exposure to new germs, and the weather change, it's inevitable that our loved ones will get sick. But what if I told you that you don't have to reach for an over the counter medication to help relieve your loved ones symptoms? You can use Eucalyptus Essential Oil.

Relieve Cold and Flu Symptoms with Eucalyptus Essential Oil

    Before you reach for an over the counter medication to relieve cold and flu symptoms, look to something more natural. Try Gya Labs Eucalyptus Essential Oil. This all natural oil works amazing to help clear stuffy noses, and soothe barking coughs. It's even helpful for treating asthma. Better yet, it's good for you. 

    Simply grab a glass roller bottle, add a few drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil, and dilute it with a carrier oil. This can be olive oil, coconut, avocado, sweet almond and more. Give it a good shake, and it's ready for use. 

    For sinus congestion, I apply it under our noses, across our foreheads, and behind our ears. For coughs, I roll it onto our chests, on their backs between their shoulders, and then on the soles of the feet. I kid you not, there's nothing better to treat cold or flu symptoms.

Use it to Relieve Pain

    Eucalyptus oil is also effective in relieving pain. You can grab your roller bottle, and roll it right onto the areas causing you pain. Or, if you're more adventurous, you can create a balm and add the oil (as well as a few others,) to that. Then rub it into your sore areas. I happen to love this recipe.

    These are just a few of the uses for this amazing essential oil. However, make sure when you're getting your oil, you're purchasing therapeutic grade. Which is why I trust Gya Labs.

Modern Uses for Myrrh

    Anyone that knows the Nativity story has heard of Myrrh. But do you know what it really was? Or, do you know how you can use it today? There are many modern uses for Myrrh, especially as an essential oil.

Modern Uses for Myrrh

    If you've read the Bible, you may have heard of Myrrh a lot. In fact, it's mentioned one hundred and fifty two times. In ancient times it was a very important spice. They used it as a remedy and to purify the dead. However today it can be used for so much more. And as more people are turning to nature to heal, more and more of us are becoming familiar with the benefits of certain essential oils.

    Myrrh as an essential oil is amazing! It has natural healing properties so you can use it to clean and disinfect wounds. Lab studies have found that it is even effective in treating Staph. Myrrh also has anti fungal properties. Which means you can use it to treat athlete's foot, ringworm, acne, and even bad breath (since candida is a fungus and can be the cause of nasty breath.) It's powerful enough to kill germs, but gentle enough to be used (on most people) without being diluted.

Great for the Skin

    Myrrh has wonderful healing properties, so it's no surprise that it's found in many skin care creams. It can add needed moisture and even heal chapped skin and lips. Also, it smells amazing! You can even apply a dab or two and wear it as a natural perfume. The woodsy, musky scent is beautiful. Which also makes it perfect for relaxing. Add a few drops to your bath and enjoy some peaceful "me time."

    

Aromatherapy Diffuser That's a Work of Art

    I love my essential oils, as well as my diffusers. However, I recently stumbled across the Moonsteps Aromatherapy Diffuser. It looks like a work of art, so it not only adds to your decor, but it's useful as well.

Aromatherapy Diffuser That's a Work of Art

    I may have a problem with essential oils, and oil scents. I mean, I have an entire medicine cabinet dedicated solely to them. I even own a few different diffusers, so we can run them in various rooms. However, when I saw the Moonsteps Diffuser, I fell in love and had to have it, because it's absolutely gorgeous!

    Not only does it slowly fade into the colors of the rainbow like other diffusers, but this one actually fades through SEVENTEEN colors! It also has a sturdy glass globe that goes over top of the diffuser. It's silver and has geometric patterns on it, that the color changing lights shine through. It's looks more like a piece of fancy glass art, than a diffuser.

Essential Oils and Scents

    I use my diffusers to mist out essential oil blends. Just fill your Moonsteps Diffuser to the fill line, and add in any blend you like. It puts out a moist mist that fills the room with the scent of the oils. I use blends for depression, thieves oil if we're sick (it kills germs, and yes, it works), or peppermint for headaches, just to name a few. I also like to use scented oils. These aren't essential oils, but they give your room a nice, soft scent. You can find them at Walmart, or online as well. 

Here are some more details:

Mist Modes:
High: Lasts up to 5 hours on continuous high mode
Light: Lasts up to 7 hours on continuous low mode

Package Contents:
1 x Aroma Diffuser
1 x UL certification Charger Adapter

     I love this diffuser! As I said, not only is it absolutely gorgeous, but it works great too! Essential oils are so beneficial, and having a cool mist in your room is great for your family. (It really helps with our sinuses when running heaters or air conditioners.) We know you'll love it too!

Show Mom She's the Bomb

    Mother's Day is coming. Now's the time to start getting mom some gifts. I have an idea that will show her she's the bomb. Literally!

These bath bombs even come nicely wrapped for mom!

Show Mom She's the Bomb

    Bath bombs are becoming so popular, and what better way to show your mom that's she's the bomb! I love this set of six bath bombs. They're small and mighty! These little bombs really pack a punch of essential oils to your bath. They also color the water nicely, but without leaving a nasty ring that mom will hate cleaning!

Give Her the Gift of Relaxation

    These bath bombs are a great way to give mom some time to herself, so she can relax with a nice, hot soak in the tub. Since they include essential oils, they'll give her a therapeutic, spa like experience, right in the comfort of her own home. 

    This set of six bath bombs even comes with two pretty rings to make mom feel extra special. They're one size fits all, so they will fit any finger she chooses!

Sore muscles, Aches, and Illness

    Since these bath bombs include essential oils, they're helpful for aches, pains, and even the common cold. The set of six comes with two bath bombs for the cold or flu, and they contain Eucalyptus oil. Two of them contain orange essential oil which is a natural anti-inflammatory, and anti-depressant, so that's perfect when mom is feeling like crud from aches and pains. The last two bombs include lavender essential oil which is perfect for relaxing and having some time to oneself. 

I Love Them

    It's finally Spring here in Northeastern Pa. The weather has finally gotten warmer, but with it, my allergies are coming back. Last night I took a hot bath and used one of the eucalyptus bath bombs. The steam from the water was potent with the oil, and really helped clear out my sinuses some. The oils also added some softness to my dry skin. I loved it and I know your mom will too!
