Teething Pain Solutions4 Comments
Hi, this is Jenni’s sister Emili. I am more of a novice when it comes to herbs and oils, I haven’t taken many courses or had quite the extensive experience that Jenni has, but I try new things and learn as I go. I’ll be posting to share some of my experiences as I have them. I have a 9 month old baby girl who has recently been teething. I noticed it about a month ago when she started acting fussy for no apparent reason. I decided to try some oils since I know they act quickly. Read more… June 15, 2009
Hay Fever Attacks!Frankly, I’m getting tired of them . . .allergy attacks, that is. I hear Cedar City has a fairly high pollen count. All I know is, on and off, all spring and summer I get sneezy, runny nose, itchy throat and sometimes itchy eyes. I’ve noticed that it’s worse when the clouds roll in. It doesn’t make any sense to me, but it definitely gets worse when rain is threatening. When I eat too much dairy, my symptoms are exacerbated further. Luckily, I’ve found something that works.

Oils To The Rescue!My son had his last baseball game of the season tonight. We do sports about once a year for each child, otherwise our lives are too crazy. Anyway, I decided to take the kids out afterward for some food and dessert at Hogi Yogi. I try not to buy things with white sugar, but we splurge here and there. We ate chicken and brown rice, then frozen pineapple yogurt with raspberries on top. Sounds pretty benign, right? My stomach started hurting on the way home. I took some enzymes, but they didn’t do much. When I got home I made some chamomile and peppermint tea for my baby, put him to bed and drank a little of the tea myself. That definitely wasn’t enough.

First Experiences with Essential OilsAfter Mike’s residency, he landed a job in southern Utah, where we still contently reside. I was pregnant with our fourth child when we moved from Tucson to Cedar City, so I started hunting for a good midwife. I was ready for a different experience than I had had with my previous three births. Read more… |
