~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dreaming Earth Botanicals Newsletter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Essential News Feb/March 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bath Salts These are so easy and satisfying to make, and there's nothing quite as nurturing as setting aside time for an aromatic bath. What you'll need: 2 cups Salt (this can be coarse sea salt epsom salts, regular sea salt, or a mixture. The Epsom salts are a helpful addition if you goal is to soothe sore, stiff muscles) About 15 drops of your chosen essential oil(s) If you're using a combination of salts, mix these together first until well blended, and of a regular consistency. Add the essential oils of your choosing (see suggestions below), and combine until the oils are evenly dispersed into your salts. Store whatever you don't use immediately in a well sealed container, so the essential oils don't dissipate. Some Blends to try: Relaxing Bath Salts 5 drops Lavender 5 drops Chamomile 5 drops Rose Geranium Invigorating Bath Salts: 5 drops White Grapefruit 5 drops Rosemary 5 drops Tangerine Sensual Bath Salts 5drops Jasmine 5 drops Ylang Ylang 5 drops Sandalwood or Rose Otto Balancing/Grounding 5 drops Lavender 5 drops Geranium 5 drops Frankincense To make this a truly pampered experience, make sure you set the mood. First, turn on some meditative music, and lower the lights, or use candles. Draw a hot bath, and while you're waiting, make sure you have everything you need close by: warm, thick towels, your bath salts, a body lotion to apply after leaving the bath, and a good half hour of uninterrupted time. After you get into your bath, add about a half cup of your salts, and stir. Lay back, close your eyes, and breathe in, consciously and slowly. Allow yourself a long, quiet, peaceful bath. This is where the music can really help, by keeping your mind from immediately settling into worry, to-do lists, etc. Focus on the music, and your breathing. After your bath, dry off, and apply lotion to your entire body. Commit to treating yourself to an aromatic bath, ideally weekly, but at least monthly. You'll emerge refreshed and relaxed, and at a fraction of the cost of going out to a spa.

Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) is a native of India and Indonesia, and has been cultivated there for over 2000 years. Black Pepper was one of the most valued and sought after spices during the Middle Ages, because of its importance in the preservation of foods, and in flavoring. It was so valued, in fact, that peppercorns were actually accepted and used as currency. The essential oil of black pepper is steam distilled from the dried fruits of the pepper vine. Aromatically, it has an unusual, warm and spicy, somewhat penetrating scent. Black pepper oil because of its chemical composition, is useful for its warming, analgesic, antiseptic and antiviral properties. In a massage blend, black pepper is helpful for those suffering from sore and stiff muscles, arthritis pain, cold extremities, poor circulation and joint stiffness. It is also said to have aphrodisiac qualities, and can be added in small amounts to invigorating or stimulating blends. For some, black pepper can cause skin irritation, so it's definitely a good idea to do a skin patch test before using or adding to any blends. Here's one recipe to try for a warming massage on cold winter nights: 4 drops neroli (can substitute petitgrain) 3 drops cardamom 1 drop ginger 1 drop black pepper and 4 drops sweet orange Add to an ounce of carrier oil or unscented lotion and blend/shake well. Pour a few drops into your hands to warm the oil, and massage. This is especially nice to use on chilly nights because of its spicy, exotic aroma. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Facebook! We've joined Facebook.
