Blue Tansy Therapeutic Essential Oil Blends

Woo it's been a busy week! I've been running around taking care of business for my two sons and boy has it been a handful. I am looking at new schools for my youngest one and there aren't many choices close to home for a little boy with cerebral palsy so... Then the oldest one has his issues but that's another story. I thought once they turned 21, my job was over NOT!

Anyway, our final essential oil for natural pain relief is Blue Tansy. Over the past few weeks I presented to you Frankincense, Basil, White Fir, Pine, Peppermint and Balsam Fir, each with unique properties to alleviate pain in various parts of the body. Today let's talk about Therapeutic Grade Blue Tansy Essential Oil.

Blue Tansy is a natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent and may be used to alleviate a number of painful ailments and diseases from sore muscles to rheumatoid arthritis. Blue Tansy can be used full strength or combined with a carrier oil for natural pain relief to ease aching muscles, musclur sprains, joint pain and even sciatica.

Young Living offers a number of therapeutic grade essential oil blends that contain blue tansy including Australian Blue, Peace & Calming, Release, Sara, and Valor. Here's a little about each:

Basil for Muscle Pain Relief

Happy Sunday...We're getting closer to winding up my presentation of the 7 essential oils for pain relief. So far I presented before you Peppermint, Pine, Balsim Fir, and White Fir. Today's featured oil is Basil.
A little bit of history about Basil: It's aroma is strong and spicy and helps to stimulate the sense of smell. Basil was initially most popular in India, Central and South East Asia and the European Union. Basil has made it's entry way in to the US and is popular for cooking with to season food.

Basil is a natural analgesic and therefore provides effective relief from pain for sore muscles. Basil can also be used to ease pain associated with arthritis and is good for soothing painfully uncomfortable insect bites. If you injury yourself or over exert your muscles, you'll discover that therapeutic grade basil essential oil will be one of your most comforting friends.

I have used Basil to cook with but isn't it amazing that the very items available to us from nature, have multiple purposes? Eat it or rub it on...Basil's good for ya!

Your Stress and Your Pain - Closely Related

Did you know that Stress and Pain are so closely related they can be likened unto twin brothers (After all, females can't possibly be associated with pain or stress) Behind every cause of pain is a form of stress. Not convinced? Let me prove it to you.

Stressful Scenario #1

Your boss told you if you were late for work one more time, you'd be docked for pay. Of course your alarm clock didn't go off like you told it too (stupid clock) and you are now running to catch your bus. Running to the catch the bus down the hill you lose footing, fall and fracture your ankle. You are now in excruciating pain and find out after a 3 hour wait in the emergency room, that you have a stress fracture. The stress of putting pressure on your foot made your ankle give way and your bones couldn't handle it. You were initially under pressure (stress) to catch that bus so you wouldn't be late for work. You started off stress (slight pressure to be on time) and you ended up with more stress - pressure added to your flesh causing pain, more stress. OK, so maybe this scenario is a bit glum and extreme (entirely possible though)

How about a more common scenario:

You've been at work all day staring at a computer screen and you are now experiencing neck or back pain. Sitting in one position trying to accomplish many tasks and do a good job is now reflecting signs in your physical body. While a neck ache may not be as severe as a franctured bone, the reason the neck is hurting in the first place is because of stress applied to the muscles (sitting in one place for an extended period of time)

So, now that you see how closely stress and pain are related, what's the first thing you do when you are in pain? You seek some sort of relief right? Do you take a pill to make the pain go away? What if I told you there's a safer way to obtain stress relief? Hmm, well you are going to have to read this Sunday's post to find out the answer to that. I'm not trying to make you sweat here. I just want you to take some time to absorb what I just told you. Take a couple of days to examine your life and answer these 4 questions:

1. What type of stress am I under?
2. How do I handle pain?
3. Do I take medication more than once per week for pain?
4. Is it really safe for me to take medication for pain?
   

I'll be back in a couple of days to help you out with some of those answers. Until then....

Chi Health Products

For a few days I side tracked from a previous post which stated I would introduce the category and products available on Reviyve's Natural Stress Relief site. I already touched a bit on Magnet Therapy, Massage and Aromatherapy. While I am going to return to talking about our aromatherapy products, therapeutic essential oils and how they are beneficial, today I want to introduce you to our Chi Health Products.

Chi is short for and stands for Chinese "vital energy" so these products are basically alternative health products that the Chinese promote in their health practices. Just to give you a bit of background about traditional Chinese medicine - the Chinese believe that sicknesses and infirmities are attributed primarily to imbalances in the chi (vital life functions) of the body. Most people have heard of acupuncture which is a technique that helps to alleviate pain. The Chinese believe that the technique is actually restoring an imbalance which leads to the alleviation of pain.

While it is not determined that Chi Health Products are re-balancing specific imbalances, it is however determined that Chi Health Products are quite effective for alleviating pain and various other conditions in a safe manner.

At Reviyve's Natural Stress Relief Alternatives website, you will find a number of Chi Health Products that help to alleviate joint pain, neck pain and even help for sleep disorders.

The Chi Knee & Joint Heating Pad is portable and easy to use. There are no wires. It contains infrared technology and can be microwaved for fast heating. We also carry the Chi Heating Belt to treat larger areas such as the shoulders
