12 Days of Christmas with Essential Oils
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…………. Here’s your holiday guide to essential oils a day at a time. If you are interested in learning more, or ordering oils for your own home use, please contact Shaune at the salon.
Although it is not an oil, the Home Diffuser is an amazing addition to any oils enthusiast’s collection. Essential Oils can be utilized with 3 different methods, aromatically, topically, and internally. (Internal use is only for therapeutic grade oils!) A diffuser is the perfect way to use your oils aromatically. You mix whatever oil you are wishing to use with water and turn on the diffuser. It then fills the air with the wonderful aroma and you get the benefits of the oil.
Di-Gize is a blend made for improving digestive function. This oil can be beneficial for helping to digest toxic material found in a everyday foods. As well as helping to alleviate indigestion, stomach cramps, upset stomach, belching, bloating, and heartburn.
Melaleuca, commonly known as Tea Tree Oil, has endless uses. Acne, skin allergies, antibacterial, anti fungal, antioxidant, antiviral, candida, cavities, chicken pox, cold sores, dandruff, deodorant, rashes, ringworm, MRSA/staph, sunburn, and the list goes on.

Frankincense is an awesome oil that has many uses! Recently it has been in the news for its anticancer qualities. I often use Frankincense the for alleviating scarring and include it in most of my homemade skin products. Other common uses for Frankincense include: arthritis, asthma, depression, skin infections, inflammation, moles, Parkinson’s Disease, tumors, warts, and wrinkles.
Valor is used to promote feelings of empowerment, courage, confidence, and self esteem. It is also known as the “chiropractor in a bottle” with its ability to align the physical structure of the the body and can help alleviate pain along the spine. This oil is great for emotional balance and is often used for hyperactivity and ADD.
Citrus Fresh is a great oil for enhancing the feeling of well being in children. It is good for relaxing, calming and reducing insomnia. Also because of the antiseptic qualities of this blend it can be a good killing airborne bacteria. And it smells so clean & fresh!
PanAway is chalkful of powerful anti-inflammatory goodness and can significantly reduce pain. It stimulates quicker healing due to the wintergreen it contains that induces oxygen into the tissue site. Nothing feels better than PanAway bath salts when you are aching!
Oh Thieves how we love thee! Use this oil every day on your loved ones as part of their immunity booster trio. Thieves is great for protecting the body against flu, candida, and colds. It is an antibacterial, anti fungal, anti-infections, anti-parasitic, a strong antiseptic, antiviral, and immune stimulant. It is also a great cleaner for counter tops, floors and other hard surfaces.
Lavender - the swiss army knife of oils because it has SO many uses. Mix with water for a relaxing linen spray. Put directly on cuts, scrapes and burns for faster healing and less scaring. Apply to sinus areas to reduce congestion and pressure. Mix with coconut oil for a soothing balm for dry, chapped skin. Diffuse to reduce stress and increase feelings of well being.
Peppermint oil is good for SO many things - it smells divine, helps get your mind and body moving when you are feeling sluggish, is great for tummy troubles, congestion, headaches, anything that itches!
