May 25, 2005
Hello

Haylee Elizabeth is my newest granddaughter, born May 1st! Other than the obvious fact that I am once again a very proud grandma, I mention this little bundle of joy because I will be away from the office much of next month so I can get to know her and get reacquainted with her brother and sister.

While I won’t be scheduling consultations during this time, you are still welcome to use our online ordering system at:

http://www.mynsp.com/naturalhealthcoach

All orders ship out the same day if they are received before 12 AM. I encourage you to take advantage of the wholesale option if you aren’t doing so already. That’s how I started purchasing herbs for my family over 15 years ago!

Since our Natural Health Connections chat will be moved to my web log during this time, if you have a pressing question, you are welcome to come post it there. I’ll be checking in a few times a week.

Natural Health Connections Chat

Many of you have been joining me for the weekly Natural Health Connections chat. We’ve been having a great time learning how to create better health by making a few changes at a time. Last week one of our attendee’s had a great idea we began implementing right away and I’d like to invite you to join us if you haven’t already!

Here’s what we are doing: Each week’s topic now becomes a goal of sorts. Everyone attending (and anyone who wants to join us – even if they couldn’t make it to the chat) works to implement that health benefit into their lives then reports back at the next chat. This way we can support and encourage positive changes in each other, as well as share ideas for overcoming challenges.

I am so looking forward to interacting with everyone this way! Starting this week and for the whole month of June, we will be taking the chat to my web log (blog). It’s set up to be interactive so feel free to post your thoughts! It’s not quite the same as a regular chat, but will work well while so many of us are on summer vacations and have irregular use of the internet.

Peppermint Essential Oil

It is most popular is as a breath freshener (going to the root of the problem by aiding digestion and destroying bacteria in the mouth). Also used for coughs, sinus, upset stomach, gas and more.

Personally, I keep a bottle in my purse to use as a breath freshener. Because I have it on hand all the time, I have helped many friends relieve an oncoming headache, avoid bruising, and relieve nausea.

The following is a list, compiled by Tonja Wells, of further possibilities for this little unassuming essential oil.

The Many Uses of 100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil

(Can be used directly on tongue or in a little water but use only one drop)

This is a pure essential oil, not synthetic. Therefore a drop goes a long way!

  • Asthma - At the first sign of an asthma attack, brew a cup of peppermint tea using 1-2 drops to a cup of hot water. Then mix several drops of Peppermint Oil with a carrier oil and rub it on the chest. It can be used without the carrier oil if needed.
  • Breath Freshener - place on tongue or rub on teeth (reduces plaque buildup)
  • Carpet Freshener - Mix 1/2 cup of baking soda and 5 drops of Peppermint Oil. Put in a shaker jar and you've got a natural, chemical-free, carpet freshener. Peppermint Oil will 'perk' your brain, so you might even enjoy vacuuming the carpet more!
  • Coffee Substitute - put a couple of drops in a cup of hot water to enjoy instead of coffee
  • Colds/Flu - helps with fever, chills and vomiting
  • Digestion - stimulates salivary glands and bile production, relieves gas
  • Dizziness/Fainting - smell the open bottle and place some under the nose to inhale
  • Drowsiness - place a drop in your palm, rub with other palm, and cup hands over your face and breathe deep through your nose - perks the brain!
  • Fever - breathe in aroma of it and also make as a tea
  • Gallbladder - can bring some relief if couple of drops are taken on tongue or brewed as tea; stimulates production of bile to digest fats
  • Gas - put a drop or two on the tongue and inhale it while it gets swallowed; can be rubbed into area where the gas pains are
  • Heart - strengthening to muscles, use for heart palpitations
  • Headaches - rub into forehead and back of neck, also take a few drops internally
  • Hot Flashes - breathe in the aroma of it for 3-5 minutes - you can feel it cooling you from the top down
  • Heartburn - put a drop or two on the tongue and inhale it while it gets swallowed
  • Insomnia - helps to relax, use as a bedtime tea
  • Motion Sickness/Nausea - place a drop on the tongue every 5 minutes till relieved
  • Nervous Problems - strengthens nerves, useful with convulsions and spasms in children
  • Pets - rub a drop or two into the paw to settle a nervous animal down, or, for those who get carsick, apply prior to and during a trip. Stomach Problems - stomach ache, cramps, hunger pangs

Peppermint Oil is one of three oils that make up the "Pocket First Aid Kit". It is very useful to carry in your purse or pocket.

Health Questions

Debi Asks: "I'm using the Lavendar Oil you recommended for sunburn. Do I need to do anything special in applying it?"

Lavendar essential oil is one of the easiest and safest oils to use. It is one of only a few that can be applied topically without the need for blending with a carrier oil.

For sunburns (and other types of burns) you may apply it directly from the bottle.

Of course you need to seed medical care if the burn is severe.
