I have two wooden boxes filled with essential oils, some carrier oils for blending (coconut, sunflower, avocado, etc). Essential oils need to be blended with carrier oils because most essential oils are considered hot oils, meaning they will burn you if not mixed with carrier oils. I use Frankincense for face, great skin/wrinkles. Also use frankincense for pain. I buy CBD essential oil blends from Plant Therapy. Their CBD Headache blend is the only thing I’ve found for headaches. (Headache blend recipes probably online), CBD sleep blend is good. Many essential oils are good for pain, colds, depression etc. I mainly use herbs for health because many essential oils are toxic to dogs (and cats), babies and toddlers. I have a grand dog & soon a grandchild. I don’t use oils around the dog. I drink herbal tea, use herbal tea and plant based herbal salves. You can make tinctures and herbal salves or purchase from small businesses. I’ll list what I have available. Some I use daily and others when needed. Most herbs and essential oils have multiple uses. I suggest getting some good books and there is good info online. St John’s Wort tincture: I’ve taken a year. I take it for nerve pain, herpes (fever blisters and sun poisoning) preventive and mood. I recently stopped for a month because I started a new herb. Easier to discover if herb is working. Found out just how good St. John’s works! My nerve pain hit with a vengeance! I’ve been taking Tribe Organics Moringa for a month. (Multiple benefits) in a week I was sleeping better. Had IBS about 25 years (from one extreme to the other). In a week I’m like a new person! It’s the only thing that’s stopped IBS, I’m regular everyday. (It’s a detox so start slowly. I took three weeks to get to max dosage. I keep the following tinctures on hand for colds, stomach, etc. Mullien (respiratory), Yarrow (fever & colds) also dried Yarrow will clot blood good for minor cuts, Hawthorn (heart & BP), Usnea: (old man’s beard) infection and/or UTI, Licorice (digestive problems, menopausal symptoms, cough, and bacterial and viral infections), Lions Mane (protect against dementia, reduce mild symptoms of anxiety and depression and help repair nerve damage) I started taking for nerve pain. I have a lot of antiviral herbal tinctures because it’s easier for me to take in water than a bunch of pills. I might take multiple antivirals if I’ve been around someone that’s sick. On a daily basis I don’t take every herb I’ve listed. I keep a large variety of herbal tea for health benefits and prevention but mostly because I only drink water or herbal tea. Hibiscus and Rose Hips are high in Vitamin C. Nettle has several vitamins. I mix Nettle tea with hibiscus and rose hips (natural healthy red kool aid) Green Tea (gunpowder my favorite) I’ve been drinking about ten years. Saw on NC State University a study by a plant organization listed Green Tea and grape vitamin (Don’t remember official name) prevents Covid. Actually any herb considered an antiviral is good for preventing Covid, cold flu etc. Apple cider vinegar (with the mother) is great cold preventative and multiple body benefits. I keep vinegar, ginger and honey blend in fridge take most days. Brand I use is Vermont Village. It’s in the grocery store. From October till April I take Elderberry syrup or extract. Try to keep it year round in case of exposure. Elderberry is great for cold/virus prevention and taken during sickness helps to get over quicker. Also good for pain. I’m slack about taking this and vinegar daily. I have multiple herbal plant salves for skin and pain. I don’t make them but could. I buy from small shops on Etsy. I’ve also started buying herbal tinctures from small shops (herbalist) that forage or grow the herbs. I can make all this but prefer to purchase. It takes a lot of time to research and find reliable shops/people. I highly recommend any mushroom or combination of them. Chaga is a great tea and sorta like a multi vitamin. I listed everything I can think of with out going to see everything I have. Plant Therapy and Eden’s Garden is a good place to shop for essential oils and learn. I’m starting to buy oils from small businesses. Herb Pharm is good resource for herbal tinctures if you don’t have small business resources. Mountain Rose Herbs is a very trusted place for herbs, tea, essential oils, etc. To get free shipping have to buy a lot. Also good information on the blog. If I think of more I’ll reply tomorrow. I keep vit D3, C & Zinc but have stopped taking daily because it’s very expensive and I don’t want to take pills every day. Magnesium supplements are great (about 5 types of magnesium and each one does something different for body) I don’t take regular bc it gives me diarrhea. I’ll take one if I have headache.
