L ve Notes ...Words of Love from the Plants & Trees!
March, 2009
Welcome to Love Notes...the e-news from Audre Gutierrez of Shining Sun Aromatherapy.
It's Spring...Love is in the Air...and so is pollen, plaguing many people with itchy, swollen
eyes. Shining Sun Aromatherapy can help you with both of these harbingers of Spring!
My Love is in the Air AromaKit is filled with essences especially selected to bring more
love into you life...not just romantic love, but love in all of its various and wondrous
forms -- self love, maternal or paternal love, love for the Planet, and love for animals,
to name a few. For $135, you receive 12 fabulous 2 ml essences in a beautiful,
custom-made kit (just the right size for your purse, briefcase or back pack). See a more
detailed description of this and seven other AromaKits by Shining Sun Aromatherapy on
my new website, Shining Sun Aromatherapy.com.
Runny, itchy eyes ruining Spring for you, yet again?? It's Helichrysum Hydrosol to the rescue!
A couple of sprays into your eyes, and they will be bright and clear again. A 4 oz spray bottle
is $26, and will often provide relief in just a few moments.
Spring Cleaning
If you're like me, this is the time of year I pledge to reduce clutter, get organized and do a
thorough spring cleaning! So many of our essences are excellent for cleaning surfaces like
floors, sinks and counter tops. The Orange essences and/or Mexican Lime are powerful,
anti-bacterial cleaners. Cinnamon Bark is excellent for getting rid of ants. Just drip your
choice of these essences on a counter top and wipe off with a warm, wet (not dripping)
sponge, and your area will smell wonderful and be spotlessly clean. The Pine family is
wonderful for doing floors (add 10-15 drops to a bucket of water, along with your general
household cleaner, if you wish). The essences leave a fabulous "energy" in your home, and
you can rest assured that you have addressed any harmful bacteria via their powerful
cleansing and antiseptic properties.
A Natural Alternative to Flea Collars
A fun and effective way to create your own non-toxic flea collar for your dog is to take a
length of cotton clothesline (just enough to completely reach around your dog's neck) and
drip 5-7 drops of Rosemary (any of our varieties) onto it. You can also put 2-3 drops of
Lavender (Fine) on it to "soften" the smell of Rosemary, if it is not one of your favorite
aromas! Take a bandana and fold it in half to create a triangle. Place the length of
clothesline inside the triangle so that it lies along the fold. Fold the tip of the triangle so
that it meets the longest side (base) of the triangle, and then fold the smaller end of the
material over another two or three times to create a "collar" that is about 1-1.5" wide.
Let it "air out" for an hour or so, then tie it securely around your dog's neck and Voila!
You have a natural, non-toxic flea collar for your dog!! You can "refresh" the length of
clothesline with a few more drops of each essence every week or so when you replace
the bandana with a clean one.
Announcements
There is still room in the April 18-19 Level 1 Medicinal Aromatherapy Certification Class in
Santa Fe for several more students. If you reply to this E-mail invitation by Midnight,
Friday, April 3rd, I will extend the $25 "early bird" registration savings to you (it usually
expires 30 days before the class date). The regular registration fee is $475, which
includes two books. Pure essential oils made from plants and trees are the Original
Medicine of the Planet. Learn this Ancient Healing Art from someone who uses the
essences for her own healing 24/7. Migraines? Menopause? Insomnia? Acid-reflux?
Depression? ADD-ADHD? Lyme's Disease? Many people with these and other common
conditions have benefitted greatly from the healing power of Wisdom of the Earth
medicinal-grade essences. Maybe this is YOUR time to seriously explore what the plants
and trees have to offer.
I hope these tips and announcements have been informative and helpful. Let me know
which topics you would like to see discussed in future Love Notes editions. Also, if you
try any of these tips -- let me know about your experience!
'Til next time... Audre Gutierrez
