Lavender Oil is one of the most well-known essential oils in the world. And why wouldn’t it be? It smells like heaven on earth and is so versatile! Here are our top three favorite benefits of this amazing oil:
Lavender Oil has incredible therapeutic properties.
When used aromatically, Lavender Oil has been known to reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression. Struggle with insomnia? Lavender Oil can help you with that too! Spritz a little in the shower or diffuse before bedtime to help your body naturally wind down and sink into a deep, relaxed sleep.
Lavender Oil is the perfect match for your beauty routine.
Did you know that Lavender Oil can be added to several of your beauty regimens to boost their effectiveness? Add a few drops to your mascara to naturally lengthen lashes or to your favorite facial moisturizer to bring the glow back to your skin and help reduce acne. You can even massage it into your scalp during a shower to restore hair health.
Lavender Oil is great for pain relief, especially tension headaches.
Many people swear by using Peppermint Oil for headaches and migraines. When applied topically, Peppermint Oil (blended with a carrier oil) gives a cooling effect and stimulates blood flow to the area and reduces inflammation. Adding just a couple drops of Lavender Oil to the Peppermint blend can produce a mild sedative effect, helping muscles and tension relax – which is what may have been causing the headache in the first place.

Whether you’ve suffered a bad cut or are just ready to have more flowing locks, it’s common to want long healthy hair as fast as possible! While there are no guaranteed paths to hair perfection, there are some tried and true home remedies that help move the job along. Keep in mind that if your hair is breaking, thinning or growing slower than average, other factors may be contributing to the process such as the weather, your age, what foods you eat, living habits and general overall health.
That being said, there are still many natural ways to hurry along hair growth that are easy and great for your health!
Use a mask
A lot of people believe that this tip concerning how to make your hair grow faster doesn’t work well, but egg whites have been known for their healing properties and their ability to replenish hair and restore its softness and shine! Just crack open a few eggs, strain out the yolks, and make an egg white mask for your hair. Your hair will look ten times healthier instantly and will feel a lot stronger as well — which, ultimately, will allow your hair to grow faster!
Eat and drink well
Eat a diet high in Omega 3, 6 and 9 nutrients for not only healthy hair but also for better brain function, healthy bones and ligaments. This means your joints, your mind, teeth and nails benefit too! Find omegas in flax seed, salmon and in supplement form at any natural grocer. Water helps the body to process and flush out toxins faster, which makes it a quick and easy natural method that will make your hair grow a lot faster. If you drink about 8 cups of water a day, not only will your body feel better, but your hair will get stronger. The stronger the hair, the faster that it grows. Drinking water also keeps your hair hydrated from the inside out. Hydrated hair is happy hair because, when dry, your hair is much more likely to break.
Stay away from heat!
Try to stay away from blow dryers and heated tools, as they burn the hair. If you MUST use them, be sure to use a heat protecting spray or cream first, before styling. Keep in mind that the sun damages hair as well. In warm weather, or intense sunlight (even in the snow) keep a hat on to protect your hair from over drying and burning. Like pulling it back? Spend the next 2 months with your hair tied back to give it a damage break!
Boost circulation
Get into a sauna, steam room or even your shower, one to two times a week and spray eucalyptus oil shower spray near your head, about arms length away; never onto the head directly. The circulation promoting plant oils will penetrate through your open pores, waking up the follicles. Add to this a gentle scalp massage and you’ll have one happy head!
Of course, in addition to all this, be sure to get your hair trimmed regularly so it has a chance to grow and be healthy without putting its energy into dead pieces. And of course, use only the best products along the way, including the use of essential oils.

It’s hard to wake up in the morning and see signs of aging and tiredness all over your face. As a society, we move too fast, eat too little nutrients, overwork, undersleep, and are dehydrated. Our faces and skin show it. But it can be dealt with and treated with these simple tricks and tips.
4 Tips to Reverse Aging:
Lemon Water Cleanse: After you wake up have a small glass of lemon water. You can boil water or have it cold, add the juice of half a lemon, and sweeten with honey or stevia for taste if needed. This cleanses your digestive system, detoxifies the skin and blood, rejuvenates your body, and makes your body less acidic. Disease and unstable health thrive in an acidic body. Part of lemon water cleansing your digestive system is cleaning out your kidneys. The bags and dark circles you may see under your eyes are from overwhelmed kidneys.
Face Massage: When the kidneys and liver are overworked, the lymph in the eyes begins to back up. Basically, the bags are sitting toxins that need to be expelled. Thus, in addition to drinking lemon water, do this exercise.
- Close your eyes. Place your four fingers (not the thumb) under the eye and gently apply pressure with your fingertips along and under the eye bag area.
- Take your middle fingers and gently sweep the same area from the inside to the outer corner underneath the eye—be careful not to stretch the skin.
- Repeat this action 5-10 times when applying moisturizer morning and night. This will keep the area flushed.
Steam With Eucalyptus: Pure Eucalyptus Oil ShowerMist is a great addition to any anti-aging routine. Turn up the steam in the shower and spray the eucalyptus onto the walls, floor, and into the steam. The mixture will open the pores in your face and activate the antimicrobial cleansing properties of the Eucalyptus. Also, inhaling the steam will help cleanse your bronchial passages, allowing for a full body cleanse that will be reflected in your skin.
Drink Your Green Juice: There’s a lot of hype about green juice these days, and it’s for a good reason! Greens tone your skin and blood, adding vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. This results in brighter eyes, tighter skin, and rosier cheeks. And don’t worry—there are PLENTY of delicious recipes online for incredible tasting juice.
Now that you know how to turn back time in the healthiest way possible, it’s time to try it!

One minute your feel like a normal woman, and the next moment you’re riding the waves of mood swings, body changes, hot flashes, and fatigue. It feels like a roller coaster stuck on the loops. You deserve some easy and natural ways to ease those symptoms, so you don’t have to stop living your life.
Top 5 at-home, natural treatments for menopause relief fast
Prevent through food
The best medicine is preventative, and the most preventative medicine is food. You should strive for a balance of good fats, complex carbohydrates, and protein. Also, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables at every meal, including breakfast. It’s best to eat three meals a day and two or more snacks to keep your blood sugar stable. The most important thing to remember is to reduce carbohydrates, especially refined carbohydrates, and sugars.
Supplement with herbs
Herbs are miraculous because they share a similar molecular structure to our hormones. This allows them to support our hormone production by slowing them down or even copying what our own hormones do, depending on your body’s unique needs. Some herbs that can help reduce menopause symptoms include St. John’s wort, black cohosh, passionflower, chaste berry, wild yam, and ashwagandha.
Be active
Because of your fluctuating estrogen levels, your body will tend to hold on to fat. Additionally, fat actually produces estrogen, which can create even more fat. So it’s easy to get stuck in a frustrating cycle if you’re not active. Moving your body has a major impact on your weight, other menopausal symptoms, and your overall health. Gentle exercise can be helpful too, especially if your adrenal glands are overworked and you constantly feel fatigued. Movement is also medicine so find a movement you enjoy and be consistent!
Keep hot flashes at bay
Those up and down hormones cause you to feel out of nowhere, so be prepared! Be sure to drink a lot of water, so the heat doesn’t tax your system. Also be sure to stock up on a Eucalyptus ShowerMist, that you can either spray into the steam of the shower to invigorate you or for you to spray around you as the hot flashes hit. Eucalyptus is cooling and calming; the perfect helper to this crazy season.
Be nurturing to yourself
The physical effects of stress make nurturing self-care especially important. One of the most effective, inexpensive and amazingly simple ways to reduce stress is deep breathing. Think how easy just taking a deep breath several times a day is. Know how much sleep you need, and respect that. Go to bed early or sleep in if you can. Get massages. Facials. Your skin is likely to break out more often with the hormonal changes, and it feels good to maintain your glow.
When women make natural adjustments to their lifestyles, not only do they feel much better but also feel in control of their menopause symptoms. And we’re happy to support you on the journey.
