Do you use herbs or essential oils in your daily life? I am trying to incorporate them more into my life as much as I can.
I mentioned before I wanted to learn more about herbs and I have been working on that this summer. How has your summer been? I hope it has been good. I have been immersing myself in learning more about herbal remedies. Finding more uses of my essential oils and practicing how to make herbal medicine. All of this is to focus on my number one goal for myself which is improving my health.
I am tired of letting illness control my life and now I am fighting back and taking control and as I journey along I want to share what I learn in hopes of helping someone else who is struggling.
Creating with Herbs
When trying out different recipes I had the most fun making the a calendula, comfrey, chamomile, lavender salve

Essential Oils
As you can see by this nail polish rack I got off Amazon filled with Young Living Essential Oils, I do love my oils.
Recently I ordered the DIY make and take kit to try out myself before hosting a make and take. The big hits were the room spray and the night time cream. I opted to use a lot of calming blends in the recipes I tried.

On Etsy I have some essential oil diffuser charms that my daughter and I made. There are some pretty purple and pink ones and there are some brown ones with paw prints. Some of the brown ones have a hint of a camo look to them. There are no two the same.

Very useful information. My mother in law has plenty of herbs and lavender in her backyard. There’s so much she could use it for. I love these diffuser charms, exactly what I would need in my place. Currently we use essential oils for candles and for oil burners, and a few drops when having a bath. They are great, I love essential oils, especially the lavender.
How do you use the diffuser charms? And the essential oils?
I use essential oils in my diffuser before bed.
Love your site! The salve you have on Etsy reminds me of one I learned to make many years ago. The recipe I used then was a traditional Native American one. Having moved so many times, I lost it along the way. My grandmother is no longer here to share it with me and we were the last of the family to make out own. 🙁
Your site offers a lot of good info that should help many people help themselves. Kudos!
Wish you the best.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
I’m also here to express my joy and tell the world the actual truth which is; there is herbal cure.I’m from USA and also a herbal lover. I’m also a researcher on herbs for good health. Which also include Africa traditional and Asian herbal treatment &Tea, I support Herbal treatment, cure and vaccines. My view is based on my extensive research over a very long period of time, and my theoretical conclusion is, there is cure to all natural diseases including HSV, HIV, CANCERS, DIABETES, HEPATITIS B, COPD, FIBROIDS using the right medications with the right herbalist. Be bold and smart Don’t be fooled by selfish people who say, cure is impossible.
