Neroli essential oil or orange blossom oil supports the digestive system and nervous system. Known for its healing effects on the mind, body and spirit it is a highly regarded oil used in Ancient Egypt.
It is produced from the orange blossom flower. When using this oil one feels very present. It takes about 1000 pounds of orange blossom flower to make 1 pound of Neroli oil.
Although the use of Neroli and orange blossoms go back to Ancient Egypt, the word Neroli was taken from a French born Italian princess, Anne-Marie de la Tremoille who was the Countess of Nerola. She introduced the oil in 1670 and used it for perfume and cologne.
Neroli essential oil is all about staying in the present moment and not reminiscing of the past; or even worrying about the future. For us to manifest what we want we must be completely in our power and be present energetically in the moment.
Interesting that panic and fear, are produced when we separate our mind and body. This is because we are literally in two different places. Neroli brings us back to one plane quickly and provides protection as well.
Neroli essential oil has been used for thousands of years to accelerate self-actualization by keeping us in the present, and gathering many of our scattered parts in the different etheric levels. It opens the heart and releases emotions of powerless and self imposed restriction.

It has also been applied to combat colds, constipation, dull skin, flatulence, the flu, gums, slow digestion, and stress. It differs from regular Orange Sweet in that it is from a first pressing that enhances the therapeutic quality.
It is a sunny and radiant oil, bringing happiness and warmth to the mind and helps people to relax and helps children to sleep at night. Orange oil can be used effectively on the immune system, as well as for colds and flu and to eliminate toxins from the body.
It is a good diuretic and is most useful in balancing water retention and obesity. Its lymphatic stimulant action further helps to balance water processes, detoxification, aiding the immune system and general well-being.
For the digestive system, orange oil can help with constipation, dyspepsia and as a general tonic. It is also useful in cases of nervous tension and stress.
In vapor therapy, orange oil can help with colds and flu, nervous tension and stress and helps to create a feeling of happiness and warmth, while helping children fall asleep at night.
As a blended massage oil or added to a bath, it assists with colds and flu, eliminates toxins, boost the lymphatic and immune system and helps ease nervous tension and stress.
When used in a cream or lotion it also assists the lymphatic system, helping to detoxify a congested skin and although it is a good general skin tonic, it is great for older more mature skin, dealing with dermatitis, as well as acne and soothing a dry irritated skin. The general tonic action seems to stem from the action it has on supporting collagen formation in the skin, which is required for a healthy, young-looking skin.

Unit price perWhat Makes Oregano Oil So Special?
The primary ingredients of oregano oil are the phenols, Carvacrol (60-80%) and Thymol (5%) which provide the antiseptic and antioxidant components. They are also the terpenes, pinene and terinene which contribute to the antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties.
Thymol is a natural fungicide with antiseptic properties. It is the active ingredient in Listerine mouthwash. Thymol is also an immune system booster and a shield against toxins. It is capable of preventing tissue damage and encouraging healing.
Warts and skin tags: Apply one drop morning and night using a Q-tip applied to the affected area. Keep at it and within a few weeks, the warts will shrink appreciably and the skin tags will fall off. Another way to do this is to add a mixture of half oregano oil and half fractionated coconut oil to a roller bottle and dab twice daily until they are gone.
Psoriasis: Mix with a carrier oil or salve (see more about carrier oils below) and apply topically twice a day. There is also some medical evidence that drinking a glass of water twice daily with 2 – 6 drops of Oregano oil added helps with the symptoms of psoriasis.
DIY Hand Sanitizer: Combine 10 drops of oregano oil with two tablespoons of coconut oil. Rub it into your hands as a natural hand sanitizer.
Natural Insect Repellent: Mix a few drops in a carrier oil or salve and rub over your skin to repel insects. You can also mix oregano oil with water in a spray bottle to create your own insect spray. Be sure to shake it up before using since the oil will separate a bit in the water.
Control Itching: Apply diluted oregano oil to insect bites and skin rashes to relieve itching.
Diaper Rash: Mix with coconut oil or plain ole salve (naked salve) to sooth and heal diaper rash.
Fight infection: Rub a few drops of oregano oil into your gums to fight an infection.
Sickness and Flu: Diffuse Oregano essential oil in your favorite diffuser to help quickly get rid of the flu or any other sickness.
Sinus infections and colds: Place a few drops of oregano oil in a pot of steaming water. Carefully inhale the steam, being careful not to get burned. You can also dilute in carrier oil then place under the nostrils to provide additional relieve for sinus infections.
Sore Throat: To ease the pain of a sore throat, simply add one or two drops of oregano essential oil to a glass of water of juice and drink it.
Arthritis: Dilute in a carrier oil and rub onto painful joints to decrease swelling.
Dandruff: Add a few drops to your regular shampoo being mindful to keep the shampoo and oregano oil out of your eyes.
Eczema: Control eczema by blending oregano oil with carrier oil or salve and applying topically.
Athlete’s foot: Dilute in a carrier oil and apply directly 2-3 times a day. You can also add a few drops to baking soda to sprinkle inside your shoes for added protection.
Nail Fungus: Soak hands or feet in a basin of water with a few teaspoons of oregano oil added. You can also rub diluted oil (1 drop of oil in a teaspoon of carrier oil) directly onto your nails.
Relieve Sore Muscles: Dilute in carrier oil or lotion then gently massage on the affected area. Repeat up to three times a day.
Congestion: Dilute in your favorite carrier oil or lotion and apply to the chest area. For nasal congestion, try adding one or two drops of oregano essential oil on a clean handkerchief and inhale the vapour.
Treat Parasites: Combine 1 drop of Oregano oil with 1 drop of a carrier oil. Place under the tongue and hold it for a few minutes before rinsing the mouth with water. Repeat up to four times a day.
Acne: Dip a Q-tip into the oil and apply directly to zits aka acne. The oil will kill the bacteria and reduce the inflammation. For the very best results, do this twice a day morning and night immediately after washing your face.
Mouthwash: Add a few drops to a glass of water to sweeten your breath and kill the bacteria that can lead to gum disease and gingivitis.
Ringworm: To kill ringworm, apply 3 to 6 drops of oregano oil to the effected area.
Skin Infections: Dilute in coconut oil and apply topically to boost the healing of skin infections.
Cleaning Supplies: Add a few drops to your DIY cleaning supplies to give them an antiseptic and disinfectant boost. This is especially effective in the kitchen and in the bathroom.
Laundry: Add a few drops to your load of laundry to kill bacteria or parasites and also to leave your clothes smelling nice and fresh.
Fungus and Mold: Mix with water and spray the shower to prevent fungus and mold from growing. This also works in other warm, humid areas of your home.
Oregano oil is considered a hot oil. What this means is that it can burn or cause some irritation when used undiluted. Other hot oils include cinnamon or clove oil. When using Oregano oil “neat” (undiluted) apply carefully with a Q-tip and do not spread it beyond the affected area. For most applications, my recommendation is that it should be diluted for all but spot treatments (such as warts and skin tags).
There are about a dozen or so essential oils that belong in every survival kit including, among others, lavender, peppermint, clove bud, rosemary and lemon or other citrus oil. I definitely include Oregano essential oil in the list of must-haves. It is inexpensive, effective and readily available. Not only that, along with lemon, it is considered to be one of the safest essential oils to ingest.

The heart chakra holds the emotions of grief, sadness and loss. This is why this oil has been associated with alleviating depression. And mixed with other oils can be very effective for releasing abusive memories whether from verbal, mental or physical abuse.

Unit price perThe Tea Tree is a small tree or shrub with needle-like leaves. It is also domestically referred to as Ti-tree. It can grow up to 7 meters (20 feet) in height and thrives in marshy areas, though it is now cultivated in plantations.

One of the most well known uses of tea tree oil is in acne treatment. In fact, a five percent solution of tea tree oil has been shown to be as effective as a five percent solution of the common acne treatment product known as benzoyl peroxide, according to the Mayo Clinic. Tea tree oil works on acne by reducing the population of the acne-related bacteria Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). P. acnes is partially responsible for the inflammation and infection that results in more serious forms of inflammatory acne.
Dandruff
Dandruff is another skin condition that can benefit from the use of tea tree oil. One common possible cause of dandruff is the overgrowth of a fungus known as malassezia. Malassezia is commonly found on the skin of your scalp, but causes dandruff problems if it is able to grow out of control. Tea tree oil can be used to reduce population of the fungus, resulting in dandruff relief.
Parasitic Skin Infestations
Tea tree oil may also be used as a natural treatment for skin infestations such as lice, scabies and bedbugs, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Tea tree oil is used to kill the parasites, relieving skin irritation from the infestation.
Inflammation
When your skin comes in contact with allergens, your body may respond by activating histamine, which causes the skin to become inflamed. Tea tree oil may be used to reduce this inflammation, but more research is needed to confirm the full benefits of the oil, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Athlete's Foot
Athlete's foot may also benefit from the use of tea tree oil. Athlete's foot is a common fungal-based skin problem that can cause severe itching and burning sensations on the affected area. Tea tree oil works on athlete's foot by killing the fungi associated with the infection.
