I had a magnificent facial yesterday done by Jane at Mountain Waters Spa in Nelson. It was a gift from Lindsay and Jeff.
Jane not only gives a marvelous facial (the lovely with the not so lovely) she also gave me a neck, upper chest, shoulder, arm, hand and each finger a massage then laid hot stones under my lower neck and shoulders while one of the face masks was doing its thing. Then she massaged my lower leg, ankle, foot and each toe then back up to my face to finish off.
Once Jane was through performing her healing touch, I was in a trance. When I got off of the bed, my legs were like rubber and I could not put my jewelry back on because my fingers were so relaxed.
What a wonderful experience!
I have probably written about Oregano Oil before but here I go again. It is great stuff! I got a nasty cold over this past Christmas and I was Huh?-me-get a cold! Any one that I spoke with over the phone told me that it would last about 2 weeks to a month – yuk! Well I was over it in 4 days!!! I believe that it is because of the Oregano Oil doing its magic.
Anyone that knows me, knows I am hearing impaired. Well, I also think that I hear better during the months (fall / winter) that I take Oregano Oil. I hear things sometimes that I haven’t heard for a very long time. Bob has noticed this too – he agrees!
So if you want to give this stuff a try, it is at pretty much any health food store. Be sure to get the softgels (much easier to swallow). I take it from late September to late February then ween myself off slowly in March. If I need some during the summer then I use the drops – harsh but it works!
Here is a recipe for a great hand / foot scrub. In a container fill it half full of Epsom Salts then add enough Mineral Oil to make it a coarse but almost runny consistency. Add your favourite essential oil for fragrance (I use Lavender oil). Rub this scrub in massage like motions all over your feet or hands. Leave it on for as long as you are able to sit still and enjoy the fragrance. Brush / Rub it off with a clean hand towel. The softness of your hands / feet will amaze you.
There has been a great deal of people getting that nasty cold that has been going around. I have been surrounded by the germs 24/7 for a long time now. Quite frankly I am quite tired of it all. I have not gotten that illness yet (thank goodness). I hope this doesn’t come back to bite me in the ass but I think my immune system is resisting because I take 50 mgs of Oregano Oil and 1,000 mgs of Vitamin C everyday. - that has got to be what is keeping me healthy. Thought I would pass that on – hope it works for you too if you decide to go that route.
