Here come the Autumn Essential Oils CPD Certificated classes, spread over 3 classes, starting on Monday 14th September live on zoom at 7pm GMT. I call these 18 EO's the pre-emptive attack oils. Why do I call them that? Because they are so good at the first signs of an infection for starters. They are also excellent at helping with our mood shifts over the Autumn months and help us prepare for the darker winter months ahead. Of course you won’t need to purchase all of them, as I will send you a sniffy stick for each oil so you can experience each individual oil in class and decide which ones you want in your kit. They are: Black Spruce, Blue Cypress, Carrot Seed, Chamomile Maroc, Clementine, Gurjun Balsam, Hemlock Spruce, Hinoki (Japanese Cypress), Hydacheium, Inula, Karanj Seed, Labdanum, Magnolia, Opopanax, Pimento Berry, Rock Rose, Blue Tansy and Violet.

Took my chihuahua to the vet this week. He is 14 and has trachea collapse. When I got him ( i rescued him last year) they put him on an expensive medication for a cough. He was coughing continously, partially from stress. When i ran out of the meds from the vet, i put him on Mullein drops. Worked like a charm. The vet wanted to know how to spell it!! I told her why I switched. I hope she starts carrying it for other dogs with his symptoms. Now i have to find a herbal substitute for heart medicine because he has a heart murmur. $93 a month for a dog medicine. My heart meds are $39 for a three month supply!!

Hibiscus Tea is supposed to be good for the kidneys. I don’t have the proof from the blood tests yet but I can tell the difference. There is a major improvement in bladder control. Those of you that have birthed children understand what I mean. It is not perfumy ( is that a word)? Some of our teas here in the US have had extra flavor added to them. And it is not always good, you might as well spray cologne in your mouth. Anyway will keep you posted.

Have you upgraded to Premium yet? If not, why not? 😊What are you waiting for? One of the benefits of Premium membership is our monthly Sunday Evening Relax. We chat about all things complementary therapy and obviously essential oils, the crux of our tribe! We might do a wee meditation, I'm thinking a wee taster of Queen Hatshepsut this month. Discuss some simple self help techniques you can use on yourself or your clients if you are a therapist. A Q&A part, there are a plethora of different therapists in our tribe. Our monthly meets are very much "go-with-the-flow" and led by yourselves. Here's the link for more details: https://www.skool.com/maverick-aromatherapy-3200/monthly-sunday-evening-relax-2

Why these Oils were chosen: Rosemary ct. camphor: · Traditionally used to support mental clarity, memory retention, recall, and concentration. · How it works is that rosemary essential oil is a cholinergic agent that prevents the breakdown of key neurotransmitters and increases brain-boosting activity via inhalation. It interacts with and inhibits acetylcholine breakdown due to rosemary's high 1,8-cineole content (23.38%), a known acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Acetylcholine is essential for processing, memory, and concentration, so by inhibiting the enzymes that break it down, rosemary keeps high levels of this neurotransmitter active in the brain, a similar mechanism to how some pharmaceutical drugs are given to dementia patients.
