Essential oil roller bottle for menstrual cramps

I always have awful cramps during the first 24 hours of menstrual bleeding every month. This month I gave this a try and what a difference it made.

Apply this to your lower abdomen where the cramps hurt the most. Then apply to the inside and outside of your right ankle, these are vita flex points for your reproductive organs. Using a heating pad can help release these oils into your body, especially the peppermint.

In a 10ml roller bottle added the following

• 15 drops of lavender essential oil

• 10 drops of peppermint essential oil

• 5 drops of rosemary essential oils

• 5 drops of thyme essential oil

Fill the rest of the bottle with carrier oil ( I used grapeseed oil)

Golden "Tummeric" milk

The colder months are upon us, and with those months we find ourselves trying to avoid the flu and common cold, usually with out success. So let me introduce you to my new best friend Turmeric milk. 

Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties. It is obvious why we have been using turmeric to avoid falling ill for 100's of years With the help of turmeric plus some other great health-boosting spices you can make yourself a delicious cup of turmeric milk. I think it is time to put away the hot chocolate, and enjoy a delicious cup of "Golden Milk"

Ingredients (makes 2 cups)

• 2 cups of low fat milk (alternative milks are great options too)
• 1 Tablespoon of Turmeric
• 1 Tablespoon of raw honey
• 1 Teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon
• A pinch of salt (I prefer pink Himalayan  salt)

Warm the milk and all the spices on the stove-top slowly ( I usually do it at medium low) while continually stirring. Once the milk is warm (almost hot) and frothy pull of the heat and strain out the spices.
