Greetings!

Hi Everyone,
There are lots of poetic,
romantic things written about spring; the one below caught my attention as it seems to have
some truth to it depending on how you are feeling. If you are under the
weather you tend to notice the negative, if you are feeling well, everything is
beautiful! "Spring is not the best of
seasons.
Cold and flu are two good reasons;
wind and rain and other
sorrow,
warm today and cold tomorrow."
~Author Unknown
I have been
experimenting on myself with our new Benchmark Thyme essential oil, as everyone around me
seems to have a chest infection and a hacking cough, including me. I have
been using essential oils for a long time and have got into a habit of using
particular oils for particular reasons. I find that Benchmark Thyme smells similar to Tea Tree but
not quite as pungent - to me it has a light, clean, earthy aroma. It's great in the
bath and I have it on a tissue in the pillow case. The best part is that we get all the benefits
of Thyme essential oil without the contraindications.
My second cataract surgery is now over. As I left the hospital
I almost wished for a dull winter day because the brightness was overwhelming. At night I have to wear an eye shield in case I rub it or poke it in my sleep, which is a good thing when
Monty, our poly-dactyl kitten who sleeps all day and plays all night, decided to
pounce on my face. The shock of being woken suddenly with this furry thing in
my face, blood running down where his nail had caught me, sent me running for the
Neroli essential oil to calm my rapidly beating heart. Meanwhile Monty looked pretty
pleased with himself because he thought he now had someone to play with! Does
anyone have any ideas how to keep him awake during the day? About 20 minutes after we
get up in the morning, he finds a hiding place and goes to sleep for at least 10 hours and we
have no idea where he is. He always appears again at supper time.
I must tell you all how much I am enjoying the interaction on FaceBook. The wonderful dialogue is inspiring!
Aromatically yours,
Barb Greenwood, RMT, RA

Quotes

"In actuality, the oils exert much of their therapeutic effect through their
pharmacological properties and their small molecular size, making them one of
the few therapeutic agents to easily penetrate the bodily tissues." Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt, Director of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy "With the increasing demand for holistic health care and the 'green
revolution', the demand for aromatherapy will increase, and hopefully we will
reach the point where medical doctors incorporate it into their repertoire. It
will become routine for doctors to send culture samples to the pharmacist for
testing, and identify the relevant aromatherapy for the patient. The
stress-relieving properties associated with aromatherapy make it an
indispensable part of health care."
Robert Tisserand, of London, England
