Do you have Lavender Essential Oil, it works wonders on headaches.........that is how I started using the essential oils.

No. She takes, Propranolol, daily. It has helped her tremendously. This is her first migraine this month. For her, sixteen days without one is a blessing.

Lavender Essential Oil

I'm going to get some of that and store it, just encase. lol

Between homeschooling, the garden, my regular house cleaning and two pups I can't find enough hours in the day.

Since she's in bed for the day, I'm recovering 8 dining room chairs.

My mother loved the yellow squash, creamed with cheese.

Mmmmmmm, delicious.

Yes on getting the Lavender, once you do, you will be using it for so many things, it is an amazing gift from God.

And NO, I do not think it will cure cancer, but when I can’t breath even with the oxygen machine going, I use the lavender or spearmint and have managed to come out of it so far.

Try using a drop of it on the collar of her nighty at night or on the pillow, she will rest better for it, I use it as is on my skin, but if you do it daily, it will raise a blister, or it can be diluted with any vegetable oil in the kitchen that is natural and used, for a massage or chest rub, 3 or 4 drops in a tablespoon of oil.

You work too hard, take time for yourself too.......some add 3 or 4 drops in their bath, but I love a common peppermint tea in my bath, after a hard days work.

The Lavender oil that was given to me, came from the health food store, and is I understand a lower middle class product it has the brand name of NOW, and has suited my needs.

Grow some lavender plants and use the flowers in your linens and dresser drawers or even open in a bowl.

It is one of the old remedies that we tossed out for the new.

When I was growing up, I thought that was what old ladies were meant to smell like.

Little did I know that it was a natural tranquilizer.

Another use it has that works, is when a baby is having a bout of croup or crying all night ‘for no reason’, mom is to rub a couple drops on her bare shoulder, rebutton the blouse and then rest the baby against the shoulder.

I had read that hint, when a friend called and said she had a problem with a new grandchild, it would not quit crying, I suggested the lavender, which I knew she had and she tried it, was amazed when the baby went right to sleep.

I would not put it on the baby.

LOL, my doctor thinks “Health Food Store” is a curse word, and I look him in the eye when I tell him what i use the EO’s for, all he knows is “take an antibiotic”........I hate medicine.

Recovering chairs is work.
