Essential Oils for Stress

10/25/2023 autocreate740 Leave a comment

Aromatic Studies is a school I am very familiar with because I am a graduate of that institution.

In a recent blog post by Holly Brandenberger who is a Registered Nurse and Certified Aromatherapist, she shares her choices for essential oils to use for stress and well-being. It is a real find to have this information available for free just by clicking the link below.

The added benefit is knowing that she is a registered nurse who suggests that these powerful oils, which are produced from plants, are some things that we can find and use for our wellness regimen and well-being exploration.

Take a look when you find a moment. I assure you that you will not be disappointed. Afterall, what can we lose when there is plant powered guidance for us to use?

Hello Everyone,

Each year on HairBlues, during October, I show information regarding Breast Cancer Awareness with advice on various beauty options available to those who want support in their daily ”looking and feeling good” confidence whilst they proceed through the various challenges of chemotherapy, radiation and all those many days of journeying and taking those steps with the courage that leads to Wellness again.

This year I am sharing links about hair donation requirements. In addition, there is information about how to acquire hair, cooling caps, and hair coverings. https://cancercareservices.org/news/where-to-donate-your-wig-or-hair/

Benefits of Hand Massage with Carrier & Essential Oils

07/27/2023 autocreate740 Leave a comment

News you can use 🙂

Have you thought about using your essential oils to massage your hands? Recently I decided to see how using this option benefits your “well-being” care.

Here is what I learned from an article at the Healthline website:

better mood
reduced hand pain
less anxiety
improved sleep
greater grip strength

See additional details at the link below.
https://www.healthline.com/health/pain-relief/the-many-benefits-of-a-hand-massage-and-how-to-do-it-yourself#benefits

Treat yourself to watching the 5 minute hand massage demonstrations at the videos below. You will not be disappointed.

Healthline has detailed guidelines for which carrier and essential oils to use. In addition, I want to remind you always use a carrier oil (for example, fractionated coconut oil, olive oil) to dilute essential oils. Learn more about essential oils dilution at this link: https://hairblues.me/2022/07/04/an-essential-oil-dilution-lesson/
