Neal’s Yard Remedies Introduces 6 Essential Oils to the US Market

Neal’s Yard Remedies began selling essential oils back in 1981 in Neal’s Yard, London, long before MLM and network marketing companies started selling essential oils. They sold pure essential oils to aromatherapists, as well as herbs, and homoeopathic remedies. Neal’s Yard Remedies is the first main street retailer in the UK to sell certified organic essential oils. Over 30 years of experience in essential oils and relationships with suppliers is unsurpassed. You can always count on the fact Neal’s Yard Remedies Essential Oils are sustainably sourced with minimal impact on the environment. Read more about Neal’s Yard Remedies essential oil experience in this POST.

Feb. 1 Neal’s Yard Remedies is introducing 6 additional essential oils to the US market.

Sandalwood

After years of searching for a sustainable source of Sandalwood Essential Oil (Santalum Album) Neal’s Yard Remedies has secured a sustainable supply of Sandalwood in Australia. In the past, Sandalwood has been harvested nearly to extinction due to it’s high value and demand. Sandalwood is extracted from trees grown in sustainably managed plantations. The evocative woody aroma promotes calm and relaxation and a profound feeling of wellbeing. It combines well with bergamot, jasmine, palmarosa and ylang-ylang.

Cedarwood

Cedarwood Essential Oil (Cedrus Atlantica) is sourced mainly from Morocco and France. It’s uplifting woody aroma makes it a perfect pick-me-up. Cedarwood blends well with bergamot, frankincense, juniper and rosemary.

Jasmine Absolute

Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale) is another uplifting oil. Too fragile to be steam distilled, Jasmine is solvent extracted. Sourced from India, the night-flowering Jasmine is hand-picked at dawn, before it releases it’s sweet, heady aroma. Jasmine blends well with orange, rose and ylang-ylang.

Juniper

Juniper Essential Oil (Juniperus communis) is steam distilled from the dried, crushed fruit of the twig and berries of the juniper plant. The warm, woody, herbacious fragrance provides a cleansing action. Organic Juniper is sourced from France. Combine it with lavender, ginger, rosemary and the citrus oils.

Petitgrain

Petitgrain Essential Oil (Citrus aurantium amara) is another beneficial oil from the bitter orange tree, the other being neroli. It has a relaxing and uplifting fresh floral aroma. Petitgrain blends well with neroli, clary sage and rosemary. It is sourced from Paraguay.

Thyme Linalol

Thyme Linalol Essential Oil (Thymus vulgaris ct linalol) is a more gentle form of Thyme and is sourced from France. It has a stimulating, cleansing action with a wonderful herby fragrance. Thyme has been used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years. It combines well with antiseptic oils like clove, eucalyptus and lavender.

A Neal’s Yard Remedies Holiday Survival Guide

The holidays can be a stressful time. They are supposed to be filled with fun, family and feasting, but it doesn’t always happen that way, and that makes it even more stressful. Too many commitments, family dynamics, a budget stretched to the max and I could go on.

Take a deep breath, and make some time to prioritize. Exercise, sleep and diet are more important than ever at this time of year. Utilize some shortcuts. You can get a pumpkin pie from Costco instead of baking one from scratch. Maybe you don’t need to make dozens of Christmas cookies this year. If a picture is worth a thousand words, why not send photo holiday cards and forget about writing notes in each one?

The ABCs of holiday survival can help you not only survive the holidays, but thrive during the holidays!

A is for Aromatherapy

Remedies to Roll are your new BFFs during the holidays. Energy for finishing up the tree decorating and Relaxation for winding down. Study will come in handy for addressing those Christmas cards.

B is for Beauty Sleep

With all the shopping, work parties, kid’s Christmas programs, and decorating, you need the best night’s sleep possible, and what could be better than waking up to more beautiful skin with Beauty Sleep Concentrate? The restful aroma will ease you to sleep, while the serum supports your skin’s night time rejuvenation. Spritz a little Goodnight Pillow Mist on you pillow, and you are bound to sleep better.

C is for Cocoa & Cleanse

Caring for your inner health with superfood that are nutritionally dense with super-nutrients makes sense at this time of year, when meals can be on the run, and not always the healthiest. Fix yourself an Organic Cocoa Blend Rebalance instead of stopping at Starbucks for a sugar laden mocha. This comforting blend of mood enhancing cocoa and blueberry contains B vitamins and adaptogens – rhodiola, shiitake mushrooms, mama and ashwagandha to help you cope with stress and strain.

Organic Fiber Blend Cleanse contains psyllium husk and Bacillus coagulans to help maintain healthy gut function.

Remember, by taking care of yourself, you are taking care of your family and loved ones. And done is better than perfect, any day!

4 New Essential Oils from Neal’s Yard Remedies

Neal’s Yard Remedies introduces 4 new essential oils. Organic Immortelle, Organic Lime, Organic Niaouli, and Rose Absolute are now available in the USA.

Neal’s Yard Remedies 100% pure essential oils are extracted from natural, wild-harvested and organically grown flowers, leaves, bark, and berries. They have over 35 years experience in building supplier relationships, and they oversee every aspect, from the soil they grow in, through how they are harvested, processed and bottled.

For inhalation or a steam facial, add 4-6 drops of essential oils to a bowl of steaming, warm water. Place a towel over your head and inhale the vapor for a few moments. Enjoy the room fragrancing and mood benefits of vaporization through the use of a diffuser. For a bath or shower, add a few drops to a carrier oil, milk or shower gel and swirl in your bath. Add essential oils to a base massage oil to ease tired muscles, and to relax and energize.

Immortelle

Organic Immortelle is also known as helichrysum, and comes from Bosnia. The smell is heady, honey-like with a warm and spicy undertone. The key action is balancing, cooling, soothing, and regenerative. It works well in blends and can be combined with geranium, lavender, chamomile, citrus and rose. It works well in massage oils, skin lotions and bath oils. Add 3-4 drops to a diffuser for a calming ambience.

Lime

Organic Lime essential oil comes from Sri Lanka and the key action is energizing, toning and astringent. The aroma is fruity and fresh. Used in a diffuser, the fresh scent is uplifing. It blends well with orange and peppermint. Avoid use on skin 12 hours before sun exposure. Lime is used in Neal’s Yard Remedies Peppermint and Lime Roll On Deodorant and the Deliciously Ella Rose, Lime & Cucumber Moisturizer and Facial Wash.

Niaouli

Organic Niaouli comes from Madagascar and has a clarifying and fresh aroma. The key action is cleansing. Think of it as a gentler version of tea tree oil. It can be used in an all over massage oil or in specific areas to fight infection, relieve pain or improve circulation. Excellent in a diffuser with lemon or pine. Niaouli is found in Neal’s Yard Remedies’ Organic Defence Hand Spray and Aromatherapy Blend.

Rose Absolute

Rose Absolute comes from Turkey, where the delicate flowers are picked early in the morning. Rose is another balancing oil, with an exquisite, sweet, floral fragrance. You may be surprised by the fragrance if you have primarily been exposed to synthetic rose. It is frequently used in skin care, massage, bath and room fragrancing.

Rose enhances overall well-being. Try blending it with bergamot, chamomile, clary sage, or patchouli. Add it to a base oil with geranium, and orange essential oils for an uplifting body massage. You will find Rose Absolute in Neal’s Yard Remedies Rehydrating Rose collection and Rose Body Cream.

Find these and other essential oils HERE. Read more about Neal’s Yard Remedies essential oils HERE.

3 Ways Essential Oils Can Help Sell Your Home

Several weeks of air-conditioning a closed up home and two nights in a row of BLTs made me super happy to open the windows today on this cool, summer morning. For anyone trying to sell a home, potential stale smells can cause a bit of panic when someone schedules a showing. Essential oils can come to the rescue and leave your home buyer ready.

Many years ago I had a brief career in real estate. Back then no one had any idea what an essential oil was, let alone a diffuser. The only option was smothering odors with synthetic room fragrances, or placing a waxy freshener out in the open; a red flag something nasty was being covered up. It was usually a case of the cure being as bad as or worse than the pet odors, smoke, mildew, vacant or just musty old smell.

Scent connects with the brain where emotion, decision making and learning take place. I’m not saying the right fragrance will have home buyers lining up to sign on the dotted line, but a bad-smelling home is major turn-off and will send buyers running. Who hasn’t read that baking a pan of cookies or a loaf of bread before a showing is a good idea?

Of course if you are selling your home it needs to be clean. Strong smelling all purpose cleaners can be just as big a turnoff. Clean with naturally fragranced products. Add a couple of drops of lemon or a citrus essential oil to wipe down counters.

For carpets and fabric, you can add some essential oils to baking soda and sprinkle it around, then vacuum. To make a room spray combine 20-30 drops of essential oils to 2 tablespoons each vodka and mineral water and transfer to a sterilized atomizer. A blend of lime, lemon, bergamot and mandarin creates a zesty, uplifing and deodorizing fragrance for everyday use.

Run a diffuser to cleanse and fragrance the air before a showing. Avoid the overpowering, heavier floral scents like ylang ylang, and stick with citrus blends. For a persistent odor try a cleansing fragrance like pine or lemongrass.

Check out all the great essential oils and diffusers Neal’s Yard Remedies has to offer. Let me know which essential oils help sell your home, or just make it a more pleasant place to live!

Three Simple Holistic Remedies for Reducing Stress

Many people are exploring natural and holistic remedies for their health before turning to prescription and over the counter drugs and traditional medicine. Today’s life-style has created stress at an all time high. Here are three holistic approaches to stress and common conditions.

Reiki

The healing art of Reiki is an energy-based, non-invasive treatment that restores and balances the human energy field. Reiki can reduce stress, decrease pain and promote healing. If you do an internet search of Reiki, you will find many anecdotal stories of healing, some of them miraculous sounding.

Yesterday I had my first Reiki treatment. My goal was stress-reduction. As my treatment began, I attempted to relax by saying a prayer and closing my eyes. I kind of lost my sense of time, and continued with my eyes closed, feeling calm, however after a bit I felt self-conscious as my stomach began making noises. I opened my eyes and kind of giggled nervously, but was re-assured that often happens as the body releases negative energy. My Reiki practitioner then went on to tell me the Blessed Virgin was present, which was unusual in her experience, as well as my father, who passed away over 4 years ago. I immediately felt extremely emotional, and explained I had said several Hail Marys as we began. It was not a sad emotion, but a surprisingly strong emotional reaction and my tears were flowing. The treatment continued, and my mind wandered a bit. I continued feeling quite emotional, and felt the presence of another loved one that had passed away nearly 40 years ago.

The treatment lasted about 30 minutes, leaving me feeling both lighter and a bit drained. Most often the outcome is a lighter feeling, or a balancing, but each person’s experience is unique. Learn more about Reiki in A Modern Reiki Method for Healing.

Aromatherapy

I saw a T-shirt with a bloody bullet hole picture and the phrase “Don’t worry, my wife has an oil for this.” Essential oils probably won’t work for bullet wounds, but they are definitely worth trying for other conditions. Essential oils can provide support for clearing nasal passages, relaxation, skin conditions, aches and pains. This summer I’ve been using a blend for allergy support, and so far haven’t felt the need for over the counter pills.

For stress reduction and relaxation both diffusing and massage are beneficial. 2-4 drops of NEROLI in a diffuser is a great essential oil to start with. Read more about neroli and some great relaxing blends you can make with essential oils in Neal’s Yard Remedies Essential Oils Book.

Essential oils are powerful, and even though they come from nature, they need to be used with caution, especially around children, pregnant women and pets. Consult with a certified aromatherapist for more information.

Tapping

Tapping is relatively new, compared to some of the other remedies, but the concepts it’s based on are thousands of years old. The action calms the nervous system and restores the balance of energy in the body, and in turn rewires the brain to respond in a healthier manner. It can be beneficial for emotional trauma, chronic physical pain, compulsions and addictions. It lowers cortisol levels and changes beliefs, enabling our brain to change how it handles stress. Learn more about tapping in The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living.

Finally, none of these holistic remedies is meant to be a substitute for health care from a licensed practitioner, however using natural methods to reduce stress can be of benefit to your overall health and wellbeing.

HOW PRESCRIPTIONS COULD BE MAKING US SICK

Prescription drugs are not the subject I planned to write about when I started my blog. Wellness is, however, and this is my blog, so that is our subject for today.

My mom is in the hospital. She got sick over a month ago while visiting my sister in California. After several days in the hospital they decided she had gallstones and an inflamed gallbladder. Ordinarily removing the gallbladder is a fairly minor procedure, but Mom has atrial fibrillation and leaky heart valves and they were reluctant. As a temporary fix they inserted tubing and she was released to transition care with a liver catheter. After a few days she went back to my sister’s home to get her strength back. Later it was decided surgery could be better handled with her own team of doctors in Minnesota. Wednesday she flew home and went in the hospital to get the catheter and gallbladder removed.

Yesterday we were told surgery would not be an option. I decided to contact an aromatherapist friend and see if she had any thoughts about what might be helpful for gallstones and her gallbladder. My friend asked about what medications my mom was on, because she didn’t want to use any essential oils that could interfere with something she was already taking.

Mom is 88 and has several significant health issues, and therefore she’s on a regular smorgasbord of prescription medications. Blood thinners for the heart, high blood pressure, heart burn, kidney disease, all kinds of things to counter act the high blood pressure medication, and cholesterol lowering statins. Every time they prescribe something new, it seems another issue pops up, causing even more prescriptions with even more side effects. I didn’t have a list, so we were just chatting about her various conditions, and I remembered she had trouble with gout in the past. My friend’s husband did as well, so we discussed the fact that allopurinol has many side effects, and because Mom isn’t having gout trouble at the moment, she shouldn’t need to be on it.

I decided to call the hospital and speak to her nurse about getting her off the gout medication. I did not expect the response I got. The nurse said the hospital never takes patients off their medications. They need to go back to their primary physician after they are released, and ask them about taking them off. Really? I asked if someone comes in with a condition, and they are on a medication that is known to make it worse, they will leave the patient on it until they are released and see their regular physician? The nurse sounded a little apologetic and said well, if it was really life-threatening, they might consider taking them off of it. We left it that she would make a note of my request for the doctor, but she didn’t think they would make the change.

So here we are, 2017, and with all the technology we have for so many wonderful things, wouldn’t you think someone could come up with a computer program to input all the prescription drugs a patient is on to see if they could be causing a serious condition? Why isn’t this one of the first things they look at?

I find this so frustrating. My dad was given a drug that basically fried his lungs, and caused him to be on oxygen at the end of his life. Several times I took him in to the ER for breathing problems, and each time they pumped him full of steroids and sent him home, when all along a prescription was causing making him sicker. After the hospital told us what happened and about the rare side effect that caused his problem, I researched what I could and found that if a patient had been a smoker, this was more likely to happen.

I’ve also read about all the side effects from long term cholesterol-lowering statins, and have tried to get Mom off of that one. It appears once you are on a drug, you will stay on it. Whatever happened to do no harm and risk vs. benefits?

I share this in case you have a loved one in a similar situation. Why isn’t the medical field doing more to get people off of drugs that could be making them sicker. Should pharmacists be playing a bigger role in patients that are hospitalized? When your gut tells you something isn’t right, demand answers. Ask when you are put on a prescription drug when you can stop taking it.

BOOK REVIEW: ESSENTIAL OILS BY SUSAN CURTIS

Essential Oils by Susan Curtis was originally published in 1996, and was fully revised and updated in 2014. It is a wonderful sturdy paperback reference book describing 42 essential oils, how they work, how to use them safely and to benefit wellbeing.

The book begins describing what essential oils are, how they work, how to store, safety information and dilutions, different methods of use and how they work in the body. It includes cautions for pregnancy, high blood pressure and use around babies and children.

Each essential oil listed contains the top reasons for use, methods of use, key actions, what they combine well with, descriptions, the therapeutic properties, method of extraction, history, main constituents and safety information. The key actions can be things like relaxing, uplifting, calming, antiseptic, stimulating, and many more. One of my favorite parts of the book is the psychological profiles of who will benefit from using this oil. For example, orange essential oil is recommended for those who have trouble getting things done. (Hello, I think I better get the diffuser going!) Also helpful for those with many obstacles and who have become frustrated. It goes on to describe how this oil can help you overcome challenges. I’ve enjoyed paging through and reading all the psychological profiles.

This book is perfect for both the beginner and experienced in aromatherapy. It lists suggested carrier oils for diluting, and extensive index of common situations that essential oils my help, and a detailed table of uses including everything from acne to worry and everything in between. It’s the kind of book where you may just look for some specific information, or you can sit down and read from cover to cover. It’s a book you will refer to over and over.

This book will make a wonderful gift either by itself, or with the addition of a few essential oils. It sells for $17.50 and is item number 7861. You can order Essential Oils by Susan Curtis here.

PIONEERS OF ESSENTIAL OILS

Essential oils were among the items sold when the first Neal’s Yard Remedies store opened in London way back in 1981. Now it seems like every other direct sales company is adding essential oils to their line of products. So how do you really know what you are getting when you purchase essential oils?

When I joined Neal’s Yard Remedies back in November of 2014, I wasn’t really sure what an essential oil was. Through my training I learned that products can be scented with synthetic fragrance, which can negatively impact health by disrupting hormones, causing cancer, birth defects, and neurological disorders. Natural fragrances including essential oils, can positively impact health when used properly by increasing feelings of well-being, reducing stress, cleansing the air of impurities, balancing hormones, increasing focus and energy and more.

Unfortunately universal independent standards for quality do not exist in the US. Descriptions such as “certified therapeutic grade” can lead you to believe they have been approved by an outside agency, such as the FDA, when it can simply be a company trademark.

What you can look for on the bottle is the common and latin name, country of origin, part of the plant used, whether it was organically or wild harvested, how it was extracted and the batch number. Whenever possible, Neal’s Yard Remedies essential oils are certified organic by the UK’s Soil Association, a well respected independent organization certifying the strict conditions a crop is grown under. Wherever possible they’re wild-crafted and grown in their natural habitat. In addition to this, NYR actively supports fair trade and the ethical, sustainable sourcing of ingredients. In the coming months you can look forward to additional essential oils being added to the current list. Neal’s Yard Remedies has been in the essential oil business for over 35 years, long before the current fascination. They have strong relationships with suppliers, and buy the entire crop from many of them. Not many companies have the experience in the essential oil business that Neal’s Yard Remedies has. You can check out the line of essential oils Neal’s Yard Remedies offers here.
