{ Essential oil of the Month }

Marjoram

The joy of Marjoram is captured to its purest form as an essential oil. It has a warm and tender spicy odor used famously for aromatherapies. The essential oil is considered by experts as a strong medicine used for colds, coughs, muscle aches, nervous tension, and insomnia.

It used as in steam inhalation that clears the chest of respiratory difficulties fairly quick. Its camphorous aroma helps relieve people experiencing emotional discomfort and those who feel lonely and are experiencing grief. It is an essential oil that is thin in consistency with a calming sedative effect that aids a person to relax and sleep well thus helping to relieve snoring.

Possible skin sensitivity. If pregnant or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Dilution recommended for both topical and internal use. Dilute before using on sensitive areas such as the face, neck, genital area, etc. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid using on infants and very small children.

{ Feature Product of the Month }

Epsom Salts

20% off our 22.7 kg /50 pounds Bags Now only $37.60 while our overstock lasts! The discount will be calculated after we receive your order.

Epsom salt is a cost effective alternative to artisan salts; think of them like grapes in fruit salad! An easy measurement for working with epsom is 2 parts epsom to 1 part dead sea salt or other salts.

A note of caution: Do not take an epsom salt bath if you have high blood pressure or a heart or kidney condition. And remember, the information is intended for general reference purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice or a medical exam. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health professional before starting any new treatment.

We recommend 1 to 2 cups per bath
Magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin, such as in a bath or foot soak. It draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, is a natural emollient, exfoliator, and so much more!

Before you start running the bath water, close your bathroom door to keep the steam in.
You want the bathroom to be as warm and comfortable as possible. As you start running the bath water, set the water temperature as hot as you can stand.
Spread the epsom salt evenly across the bottom of the tub, rather than allowing it to pile up in one small area. It should be completely or almost completely dissolved by the time you're done running the bath water. When the water reaches your desired level, turn off the tap.

Get into the water very slowly, allowing each part of your body to get acclimated to the water temperature before proceeding further. As you lie in the water, massage your sore muscles, or even stretch them out if you have room.

But above all, relax. Breathe slowly and evenly, and allow yourself to sink down into the water.

When you are finished, drain the water from the tub. Then rinse the Epsom salt residue out of the tub with a little lukewarm water.
