Take Two of These and Email Me In the Morning
I have been bed bound by a stomach virus today. So while I’m laying about I thought I might as well work my brain. I have this bottle of Ocotea that I received free with my order, a couple of months back, so I decided to research it.
Ocotea, I know is good for blood sugar, but what else? After looking at the EODR and Oil-Testimonials, I ran onto a really awesome article found here: http://www.raindropeducation.com/id66.html
It highlights the oils from the Amazon, in particular Copaiba and Ocotea. Here is what I found out:
Copaiba, among all of its other amazing properties that I talk about here, is also an extremely strong anti-inflammatory, second only to Myrrh resin. It also helps with stomach distress (along with other types of internal distress because it calms irritation in the body). This would be a great aid to the IBS that most Fibro folks have. It is also extremely oxygenating and crosses the blood brain barrier. More oxygen means more healing, better thinking, and less Fibro Fog.
Ocotea is also an anti-inflammatory and aids in digestive distress. But did you know that it contains a chemical type – Alpha-humulene – which balances the body’s internal response to irritation? It also has natural purification properties.
Based on my recent reading it seems the path to healing lies in: detoxifying the body, calming the body’s response to toxins and trauma, and reducing the amount of inflammation found throughout the blood stream. All of the oils in the Fibro Blend work toward this goal. After today, I am thinking…if you have limited funds, or if you know someone with Fibromyalgia and want to have a good shot of giving them something to try, these two oils may be the way to go!
Both of these are safe to take internally, and personally, I really like the flavor of both, especially in tea. Drinking copaiba in water is what allowed my muscles to stop the weird twitching thing and stop taking my muscle relaxer at night. You could also put them in a capsule. So that would be my suggestion. These two oils, taken internally, preferably at night.
On a side note, after reading these articles and researching a bit more, I went and made a cup of tea and added a drop each of copaiba and ocotea. I am feeling a lot better. I believe spending my day this way was time well spent.
If you have read this and tried these oils out, I want to hear from you! Let me know if you have seen any results!!
The Many Facets of the Humble Lemongrass
Not totally fibro related, but Lemongrass has such an uplifting scent. One of my favorites. In addition to these many health benefits, try my hair recipe:
Lemongrass + rosemary + coconut oil. Mix equal parts of essential oils with desired amount of coconut oil. Use a quarter size dab for medium length hair (less if shorter) and apply to hair for awesome smelling frizz free curls. With any use of he oils in your hair, avoid the scalp to avoid looking “oily”. Rosemary stimulates hair growth and lemongrass repels insects so it’s perfect for summer!
