Detox Me!

-
This is not a new topic to say the least. People are doing cleanses and looking for ways to "detox" their bodies all the time. This is something our body is designed to do...to an extent. We are always getting rid of pollutants through our bodies, including our skin which excretes 1lb of waste a day! However, these days we are exposed to a plethora of contaminants, toxins and pollutants. Natural remedies have been used for this for ages. Aromatherapy is a great way to assist the body in ridding of these many exposures. Remember, essential oils are not just scents. They are very potent and made up of many chemical constituents that affect our bodies. They are very effective in detoxification.

Our detox aromatherapy salt soak Detox Soak is comprised of the following essential oils:

Lemon (Citrus limonum)- stimulates white blood cells to defend the body against infection and detoxifies the body through the blood and liver.

Grapefruit (Citrus racemosa)- is diuretic, anti-fungal and speeds up lymphatic circulation and the elimination of toxins. Detoxifies through the skin, urinary tract, liver, gall bladder and lymphatic system.

Juniper berry (Juniperus communis)- has anti-viral, & diuretic properties and can help reduce cellulite by eliminating toxins from fatty tissues and increases removal of uric acid from the system. Juniper berry detoxifies through the kidneys, skin and urinary tract.

Sesame Oil reduces free radicals



One of the best ways to use this product is in a foot bath! Our feet are the most porous area of the body. Citrus essential oils can also increase sun sensitivity, therefore this is a safer way to use it, or take a full bath at night. 

Our detox tea is a craft fully blended herbal tea to help with detoxification internally. Make sure when detoxing your body to drink PLENTY of water. You will need it to flush everything out and stay hydrated. 

Our Clarifying Face Mask is an incredible detoxifier. This mask is packed with clays that draw out toxins, activated charcoal that does the same and Matcha Green tea! All of these ingredients pull out facial impurities as well as toxins in the body thus creating a detoxifying effect. 

Happy Detoxing!

Where did Aromatherapy even begin? The use of plants for human benefit goes way way back. “…… "There is virtually no people known to anthropology – however remote, isolated, or primitive – in which some form of doctoring with plants was not practiced.” Barbara Griggs, The Green Pharmacy Hmm interesting. In our country we seem to downplay nature's abilities. But why? There are written records dating back to the Sumerians at least 5000 years ago, Mesopotamian civilizations dating to the second millennium B.C., and  Egyptians dating to around 3000 B.C. Ancient India was particularly active in medicinal plant recording 290 species. Not to mention the Chinese who we can date back to using plants for medicine to 3000 B.C. (they were already using 350 herbal remedies). I could go on and on. Cool though, right? Then Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans became well known for their aromatic plant and extract use. Egyptians used them for medicine, food preservation, religiou

Posted by Katie Carter RN, Certified Aromatherapist January 19, 2017 So what's the deal with the soaks? Where did the soaking trend start? It actually was a hit in the Roman times. So way back when. You heard of the famous Roman baths! They would soak for emotional and health benefits in communal tubs....of men! So not just for the ladies. See this painting below: Men would have meetings, massages and more in these communal baths. So the reason these are still great today is for those emotional and health benefits. Our body absorbs these oils through the salts and give us great benefits. Salt soaks don't have to be used in a full bath either. Make yourself a nice foot bath in a large bowl instead! The feet are very porous and effective in absorbing too!
