Scentsible Life: Realizations on the Porch

by Scentsible Life on 03/27/11

As you all know, essential oils are my passion.  I love all the essential oils. That's why I would like everyone to know that essential oils are such great tools for healing and helping create truly happy and fulfilled lives. It saddens me though, when I hear how irresponsible people can be when it comes to promoting essential oils.

As I mentioned, essential oils can be great tools, however they can also be dangerous. For example, I recently heard some advice on how to use essential oils from an essential oil distributor: The marketing and presentation was absolutely stunning. And then came the shock in form of the following advice:

"Drink lemon essential oil and/or a mixture of essential oils to lose weight or to detoxify the body".  I also heard " Massage essential oils around the eyes for migraines".   Their marketing and presentation were so beautiful and influential, but just these two pieces of advice they shared can be so dangerous.  When you massage essential oils around your eyes they travel into the eyes themselves and will irritate them.  It does not feel good and  may damage the eyes.  It is one of the first safety rules that you learn in any  Aromatherapy class or workshop. Never put essential oils into or close to the eyes. Unless you or the essential oil distributor is a medical doctor, you won't know what really happens in your body.  Using essential oils internally causes the body to react and respond really quickly. It is not generally recommended to take essential oils internally without professional consultation.

I truly was shocked and  concerned because of the seeming lack of respect for the potential adverse effect of the recommended treatments by a distributor of a very well known essential oil company.

Think about this: 1 drop of essential oil has the potency of 16 cups of herbal tea.  You never will be able to drink 16 cups of herbal tea at once.  Can you imagine what the potency of 1 drop of essential oil can do to your body? 

Essential Oils, when used properly, can help us so much. Please think about getting qualified information before you try any of the generally available recommended uses.  This is why I teach and train people about essential oils and share information on my website and on Facebook.  My concern and the reason why I wrote this note is to emphasize that essential oils are a potent help for a wide variety of ailments, however, it is important to use them properly. 

Essential Oil News: Frankincense, Tea Tree and Earth Blend

by Scentsible Life on 03/16/11



Hello Everybody,

There are so many things going on in our world.  The recent earthquake and the nuclear plant accident in Japan hopefully made us all aware of how strong, effective, and helpful we as human beings can be, when our lives are at stake and when we are confronted with the unpredictability of nature. Isn't it amazing how people from all over the world have come together to help and are there for all the people in Japan, who are  tremendously affected by these events.  Doesn't it show that our human hearts are still in the right place?

In times of accidents and disaster, all of our goodness shows up.  I would like to motivate everybody to keep our hearts open, especially when things get back to normal.  We all can continue to connect to people, nature and our environment with the goodness of our hearts.

Frankincense, Tea Tree and Earth Blend are essential oils that will help us.  Essential Oils are a product of nature and available to all of us. They are not only there to help us physically, but they are also there as a gateway to connect with nature.  We all live on this beautiful planet and we all have the ability to take care of the planet, ourselves and people in our environment.  Isn't it time to embrace the beauty of life and leave our self-importance?

Properties of Frankincense:
"Are your past experiences interfering and affecting your current life?"

Frankincense has a long tradition of use in spiritual practices and is well known as a meditation essential oil.  However, originally, Frankincense's energy awakened new, fresh and original ideas in a person.  Inhaling Frankincense and anointing the heart area will calm a person's mind in order to have an honest introspection.  It will help to illuminate denial and emotional and mental attachments to past experiences that interfere with being in the present.
Frankincense physically deepens the breath, which in itself can help to instill a sense of calm.  When massaged into the back, it is very helpful for respiratory infections.  It calms coughs, is an expectorant and is indicated for chronic bronchitis.

Properties of Tea Tree:
"How comfortable are you in new (unfamiliar) situations?"

Tea Tree is an essential oil that has no historical archetypal energy.  It is an essential oil that represents the new.  It helps people to feel at ease in any situation. Tea Tree helps us to be present, unafraid, strong and confident.  It helps to relax the body, calm the mind and ease mind chatter.  It helps transform memories into an awareness and a realization that memories cannot hurt us. Memories are triggered by a familiar component of the current situation.  When we inhale Tea Tree and massage it in the sole of our feet it will help us to see a situation as it is, without associating the situation with a past event. Therefore, we will have a better chance to respond and react to the actual situation with clear thinking, strength and confidence.
On a physical level Tea Tree is a very powerful antiseptic, antibacterial, antibiotic, anti-fungal, and antiviral, with the added capability of also being a powerful immune system stimulant.  Studies have revealed that when Tea Tree is used as a preventative measure before, during and after procedures, it results in faster recovery from surgeries, chemotherapy and many other treatments. 

Properties of Earth Blend:
"Life is too important to not live it fully in every moment"

Earth Blend will help us to re-awaken our natural feelings of being taken care of, supported and provided for.  Inhaling Earth Blend or massaging it into the palms of our hands will induce a feeling of being at ease.  It calms our nervousness, irritations and anxiousness about an uncomfortable situation and directs us towards our inherent (instinctual) knowing of whether or not an action is necessary.  If an action is necessary we will know when, how, and what to do.

All essential oils are there to help us to prevent illness, maintain and enhance the well-being of our body, mind, emotions, energy and spirit.  Please use essential oils wisely!  

Scentsible Life Essential Oil Policy:

Scentsible Life encourages safe, proper and intelligent use of essential oils. There is so much information about essential oils and their healing properties readily available on the internet, books, and classes.  However, essential oils are living cells and therefore interact and affect every person differently.
Scentsible Life is here to assist you in choosing the right essential oil for your personal needs.  In cases of physical illness - whether it is major or minor - we will advise you to consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.  We work hand in hand with traditional medicine, knowing that it is out of the scope of practice for any alternative healing modality to diagnose, prescribe, or treat physical illness. What Scentsible Life is doing, however, is establishing relationships and communications with the medical profession.
