Ciana Mae

Story of Oils begins

in the garden!

God intended we live freely to

enjoy the gentle scents of

essential oils. Nothing can

replace a relationship with

nature, but essential oils can

help bridge the gap. They are

a distillation of the life force

and healing energy of plants.

Whether we know it or not,

molecules of essential oils are

in the air. Spiritually and

emotionally uplifting and

healing. It appears, God was

the first aroma therapist! Alexis & Patches in the Mountain Meadow

What are Essential Oils?

• Essential Oils are highly concentrated, chemically complex, volatile, aromatic oils produced by various parts of some plants.

• One drop contains appx. 40 million, trillion molecules. 4 with 19 zeros after it.

• We have 100 trillion cells in our bodies.

• One drop of E.O. has enough molecules to cover every cell in our bodies with 40,000 molecules.

• Tiny molecular size gives them advantage to readily LEAP into air; entering our noses & be detected as odor. Scent receptors transmit impulses - affecting a positive change!

Energetic & Delightful Gifts

• Oils are working in plants before they ever

begin working in us! Volatile- ready to react

• Protection-defensive action

• Communication-warning signal

• Preservation of resources

• Attraction - aroma to needed insect

• Wound healing-in response to injury

• Immune response- chemical compounds

Healing Properties

• Because plants were created

for us. (Genesis 1:11-12, 28)

• Their oils can serve and support us in the

same way they do in plants!

• Balance & support, immune boosters,

antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal

• Bug repellants, antioxidants, hormonal

balancers

mountain stream!

Comment from Jeanne Rose

• Noted author Jeanne Rose - March 2010:

• “Any hydrosol that is fresh and clean can be sprayed on an injury to both clean it and to reduce pain. When you fall, you might strain muscles but you may also scrape the skin. In particular, for sports scrapes, thorns, small cuts; the best hydrosols are the ones that you have with you but, Lavender, Tea Tree & Owyhee are good! “

How I Use Culinary Lavender

• Simply – in Salt, Sugar or a Rub

• What herb can you take and use in anything?

• Lavender is an incredibly versatile herb for cooking. I use it in most everything!

• Use in savory and baked goods, drinks & more.

• Fresh edible flowers are an enhancement to both the flavor and appearance of food. Wild or cultivated!

• Adding too much lavender to my recipe is like eating perfume & made my dish bitter. Because of the strong flavor of lavender, the secret is that a little goes a long way.

Why use Local N Fresh?

• Good food needs little culinary doctoring! *

• Energy– fresh herbs measure 20-27 MHz,

dry herbs -12-22 MHz; fresh produce 5-10 MHz

processed or canned food - ZERO. No life in

them but they do contain chemical nutrition

• Lavender E.O. -118 MHz, Rose is the highest @

52-320 MHz. Juniper @ 98 MHz and

peppermint @ 78 MHz.

• Human body – 62-68 MHz, cold and flu –57 MHz

Local, Fresh & Healthy

• Plants go through

same climatic

changes as our

bodies

• Provide necessary

Vitamins &

nutrients that are

assimilated well.

Culinary Lavender can be as sweet

as a new born baby

Lavender contains linalyl acetate, linalol, geraniol,

cineole, limonene and sesquiterpenes.

It contains no fat and very few calories.

How To Use in Tea:

Lavender can be ingested any time of day.

Fill a mug with one teaspoonful of dried

lavender and pour over it 1 cup of steaming

hot water. You can strain the tea after the

mixture steeps for 10 minutes.

When ingested, lavender is an effective herb used to

treat headaches, depression, exhaustion, insomnia

and the aches and pains of rheumatism,

according to "Holistic Herbal: A Safe and Practical

Guide to Making and Using Herbal Remedies. Emma Marie 9/14/12

Grass fed beef is higher in:

• Vitamin E

• Beneficial omega-3 fats

• Conjugated linoleic acids or CLA (strong antioxidant) – Both reduce the risk of heart

disease.

Cows benefit from rich grass diet, too. Omega 3’s are formed in the grass & they are passed onto us when we eat the beef.

Besides, grass-fed beef tastes better. I know because I eat it. Cowboy Cam & Grandpa Bob
