Apres Sol

We originally designed this to rapidly cool a sunburn and/or overheated skin.  (Goodness knows, most of us are experiencing overheating these past few days!)  We've recently heard that this product is also useful for reducing the itch associated with insect bites, and poison ivy/oak/sumac exposure!

How to Care for your Essential Oils

 

 

A few weeks ago, we were approached with a sad story - someone had left their oils in the car on a very hot and sunny day.  The oils didn't survive - they smelt so very different from what they should have, and the benefits were lost.

 

 

Keep your oils tightly shut, in the dark glass bottles we send them in, and in a cool (room temperature) and dark place.  Needle and Citrus oils will last longer if kept in the refrigerator (not the freezer!).  Excessive heat and cold will destroy your oils. 

 

 

Some of you travel with your oils and use them in many places and situations.  We suggest getting a small insulated travel cooler for summertime use, and transporting your essential oils in that - put them in there when the cooler is cool.  Try not to leave them in your car, and, if you must, put a small cold pack in the cooler, and be sure to cover the cooler with a towel or blanket so that the cooler doesn't get direct sun exposure.

 

 

For winter travel - you can use this rule of thumb - if it is cold enough to freeze water, it is way to cold to leave your oils in the car!

We've teamed up with the Center for Compassionate Touch LLC for our first Webinar and invite you to join us for this fascinating

(and FREE) hour-long exploration into the world ofCompassionate Touch Logo

Aromatherapy and it's use for special populations - not

only those in later life stages - but for those facing all

sorts of life challenges.  

 

Evolutionarily, smell is the most ancient of all the senses.  This sense

allows for the identification of food, mates, and predators.  It also provides

warning of danger, and sensual pleasure.   

 

The use of aromatherapy is truly a wholistic form of health care, as it  

addresses body, mind, and spirit.  It also connects us with nature via the

plants from which the oils were made.

 

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants shall be able to:

 

   1.  Describe how smelling an essential oil can impact the brain

   2.  Name at least two essential oils or blends to encourage sleep

   3.  Discuss why aromatherapy is considered wholistic

   4.  Identify at least two essential oils or blends effective in relief of pain

   5.  List two common methods of using essential oils  

 

Seats are limited - please register today ! 

Cost:  None - this opportunity is FREE!

 

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information

about joining the Webinar.

The Eden Alternative   

 

Alternative Approaches to Care and Well-Being:
Two Success Stories
 

 

Thursday, August 25th, 2011  

3:00PM to 4:00PM EDT   

 

 

Alternative therapies and approaches to care can significantly enhance person-directed care practices. Those committed to shifting the culture of care understand the importance of quality of life and maximizing one's potential for well-being across the continuum of care. From a regulatory perspective, F tag 329 states that two non-pharmacologic methods must be tried before using psychotropic medications. This webinar will feature two examples of cutting-edge, holistic solutions that provide results and well-being for Elders and their care partners. Cynthia Loving of Scents-ible Solutions will share success stories involving the use of aromatherapeutic blends to effectively lower anxiety and aggression, promote sleep, stimulate appetite, lower physical and emotional pain, and/or stimulate memory for Elders, as well as discuss blends designed to assist the needs of their care partners.  As a specialist in Therapeutic Touch, Evy Cugelman will share stories based on the successful application of this research-based modality, which is taught in both medical and nursing programs across the country.  Developed in the 1970's and based on ancient healing practices, Therapeutic Touch has been documented to effect profound relaxation within 2 -3 minutes, offer pain relief, and promote healing.
