Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil

During winter's cold and flu season, cinnamon essential oil can be a great choice to diffuse into the air. Several studies have indicated that cinnamon oil has demonstrated a high level of antibacterial activity against several common respiratory tract pathogens. It has also demonstrated antifungal activity in several studies as well.

In addition to these benefits, cinnamon's spicy, warm scent is a perfect choice for brightening the holiday season!

When the Bee Stings!

It sure pays to have your oils with you!

It was a gorgeous day yesterday during our Fall Homeschool Soccer season kick off. After soccer a few kids went for a stroll in the woods and accidentally disturbed a bees nest under foot. Unfortunately, two kids and one mom got stung.

I immediately ran to get "my take along bag of oils". I put on a couple of drops of Purification (the best cure all for healing all insect bites) and Thieves for one child and Purification and later Peppermint for the other child and his mom.


Over this past summer when my son & husband got stung I did the following:

Purification first, Thieves followed by Lavender. Used Lavender to help them relax. I then mixed Lavender, Peppermint, Wintergreen and Chamomile (this recipe is listed in the EODR) with a cold compress to assist with the swelling pain. By the end of the evening they were feeling much better.

I am grateful I can use a safe and effective natural remedy like Young Living Essential Oils to help assist my loved ones and friends!

Have a beautiful day!

Using Essential Oils in the Garden

Young Living's Essential 7 Kit is a must have throughout the year, and especially in summertime when we are more apt to enjoy the outdoors. Many organic practices simply make sense, regardless of what overall agricultural system is used. Far from being a quaint throwback to an earlier time, organic agriculture is proving to be a serious contender in modern farming and a more environmentally sustainable system over the long term.

Essential Oils are simple, organic options to use in the garden. For plants infested with insects, use one of the following essential oils. Fill a mist spray bottle with 4 oz. of water, add the essential oils and mist the infested plant. Use as little as possible. Several applications, a few days apart, may be necessary:

Spearmint: ants, aphids, caterpillars, black flea beetle, gnats, lice, moths, and plant lice.

Peppermint: ants, aphids, bean beetle, cabbage root fly, caterpillars, black flee beetle, flies, lice, moths, and plant lice.

Lemongrass: black flea beetle, fleas, mosquitoes, and ticks.

Tansy: black fly, carrot fly, fleas, flies, greenfly, mosquitoes, and white fly.

Hyssop: aphids, cabbage root fly, moths, and slugs.

Thyme: bean beetle, cabbage root fly, cutworm, and ticks.

Sage: cabbage root fly, cutworm, nematodes, ticks, and white fly.
Rosemary: cabbage root fly and carrot fly.

Patchouly: gnats, snails, weevils, and woolly aphids.

Pine: slugs, snails, and wooly aphids.

Sandalwood: weevils and wooly aphids.

Purification: will not only help keep the bugs away, but when applied to a bite or sting, will neutralize the venom. Apply a drop of Purification to wasp, bee, and yellow jacket stings and mosquito bites too..

These recommendations apply only to Young Living Essential Oils. Be sure to check your Essential Oils Reference Guide for additional ideas about using Young Living Essential Oils in your garden.
