Herbal Salves- Calendula & Lavender

Lavender Salve, Calendula Salve & Calendula Ointment

What's the difference between my Lavender Salve and my two Calendula Salves?

All three are made with basic organic ingredients: Flowers, Jojoba Wax or Olive Oil, and Beeswax. 

Take a look below to see how they're each made.

Lavender Salve

The Lavender Salve is made with fresh lavender grown in my garden.  The flowers are infused into Jojoba Wax giving a nice subtle lavender scent.  The jojoba is then blended with beeswax to make the salve.

Calendula Salve

My Calendula Salve is made by infusing calendula flowers into olive oil.  Once infused, the oil has a brighter tint and a lighter scent.  Then the infused oil is blended with beeswax and poured into tins.  

Calendula Ointment

My Calendula Ointment is made the same as my Calendula Salve, however I add essential oils to the ointment to make it a little more potent for healing cuts and scrapes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My salves and ointment are an excellent alternative to petroleum based products.  Useful for soothing minor bumps, bruises, small cuts & scrapes and minor skin irritations, they are the perfect addition to your natural first aid kit.  And they're great for cuticles too!

Available in both of my shops~   ArtYah  &  Etsy

Finally!  Last week I finally had the chance to mix and bottle some lotion blends to list in the shop. These blends are a natural, effective way to support 4 common concerns using an alternative to OTC medications.  Essential oils were chosen for their therapeutic properties and synergistic relationship to one another to create these wonderful blends.  The lotion base contains 89% organic ingredients and leaves the skin feeling silky smooth.  I have personally used these blends as well as clients and family members and everyone reports excellent results.

Weekly Essential Oil~ Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobilis)

Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobilis) is steam distilled from the flowers.  Its aroma is deep and intense, yet warm, fruity and sweet.  Just a few drops go a long way when blending.  Roman Chamomile is energetically calming and soothing.  Because it is calming to the central nervous system, it inspires relaxation both physically and emotionally. Roman Chamomile is a wonderful antispasmodic oil to use in belly blends for digestion and menstrual cramps as it promotes relaxation in the smooth muscles. It is also useful for aches and pains related to stress and muscle spasms of the legs.  Diluted in an unscented cream or lotion, Roman Chamomile is even gentle enough to use on babies who experience colic.

Weekly Essential Oil~ German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)

German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is steam distilled from the flowers.  Its aroma is sweet and fruity, yet herbal and strong.  When blending, a little goes a long way.  Try adding just a couple drops to your blend to keep it from overpowering other oils. German Chamomile is energetically calming and grounding.  It is helpful in calming feelings of anger and frustration related to stressful conditions.  It is a cooling oil and is excellent for reducing inflammation and pain especially in injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments.  German Chamomile is also a wonderful skin healing oil.  It is helpful in treating burns, insect bites and rashes.

Try blending German Chamomile in these 2 recipes.  The first recipe is a 1% dilution in Aloe Vera Gel and is safe to use on adults and children over 1 year.  
The second recipe is a 4% dilution and is suitable for use on adults and children ages 12 years and older.
I've used the same essential oils in both recipes, however the intention of each blend is different.  By using a different carrier (Aloe Vera Gel & Jojoba Wax) and adjusting the amount of essential oils used, the strength and therefore the use of the blend is different.


Calming & Healing for Minor Bruises & Scrapes
1 ounce Aloe Vera Gel
1 drop German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) 
2 drops Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum)
3 drops Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

The soothing effects can be felt almost immediately!

Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil is steam distilled from the flower buds and leaves.  Its aroma is a light, sweet, herbal, grassy scent.  Clary Sage is energetically uplifting. It is excellent for mental clarity and focus and can offer support for emotional distress.  Try creating a diffuser blend with a few drops of Clary Sage and a drop of Lavender.  Because it has anti-inflammatory properties, it is also a wonderful oil for helping to clear your skin when used in a daily face wash.  Clary Sage can also ease tension making it useful in massage blends for sore, tight muscles.  Try the sore muscle massage blend below.

Organic & Wild Crafted Essential Oils~ What does it mean?

All of the essential oils that I use in my products are either organically grown or wild crafted.  What does this mean?  Well, it actually means sort of the same thing- depending upon how you look at it.

Most everyone is familiar with the term "organic"- grown without any synthetic chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc).  However, not everyone is familiar with the term "wild crafted" or "wild harvested".  I'll try to explain in the simplest manner.  For a plant to be considered certified organic, the farmers essentially have to prove that they do not use any sort of synthetic chemicals on their crops.  The process can take years and usually costs a fair bit of money.  Not all farmers can afford to take the route to certification, however they still abide by all the rules and grow their crops organically and harvest them ethically.  Another reason a farmer may not have organic certification is because it is not available in all areas of the world where some wonderful essential oils come from.  In simple terms: If a crop is cultivated on a farm by an individual(s), and is grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, the term "organic" is used.

So what does "wild crafted" mean?  When plant material is wild crafted or harvested, it is taken from its natural environment- not from a farm where the crops were tended and cultivated.  The plants grow in their natural habitats- forests, fields, mountains, coast lines, etc.  Much care and respect are taken by the individuals who harvest the plant material for distillation.  They only take what is needed and leave the habitat as undisturbed as possible.  The plants are all grown organically since they are in their natural, wild environment, but since there is no regulation as to how they are grown (since they are wild), they can't be certified organic.  This is why the term "wild crafted" or wild harvested" is used.

I hope that gives everyone a simple explanation between the two terms.

My Top 5 Favorite Essential Oils

     As an aromatherapist, I use a variety of essential oils, however I have several that I use more often than others.  These few essential oils can be used alone or in combination with one another for a multitude of uses.  That's why these are my favorites and I recommend them to anyone who may be new to using essential oils and who may be feeling overwhelmed with how many choices there are. How do we choose which oils to purchase when there are so many?  Some essential oils are fairly expensive, therefore having a large variety in one's collection may seem impossible.  That's where these top 5 favorite oils come into play.  They are reasonably priced and versatile.  These 5 oils are generally priced at $20 or less for a 15 ml bottle.

My Top 5 Favorite Essential Oils

Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana)

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

Peppermint (Mentha x piperita)

Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis)

Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)

Some of my favorite uses for these oils  

All of these oils are wonderful options for diffusing.  Try making your own blends with the combinations suggested below.  Remember it only takes a few drops of essential oil in a diffuser to get the benefits of inhalation.  I recommend 5-8 drops total in a diffuser, depending on room size and ventilation.

Cedarwood, Lavender, & Sweet Orange- great all around blend, helps with respiratory issues & allergies, safe to use around children

Lavender & Sweet Orange- Calming, yet bright- safe to use around children

Peppermint & Sweet Orange- Uplifting- safe to use around children age 5 yrs and up

Cedarwood, Lavender & Tea Tree- Great for allergies- safe to use around children

How about making some cleaning products?  Not only will you be using all natural products, you will also be getting a refreshing aromatherapy treatment while cleaning.   Check out the recipes in my Green Cleaning section.

Have a headache or achy feet?  Lavender & Peppermint can help ease headache pain.

Mix 1 drop of Peppermint and 1 drop of Lavender in 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil such as Jojoba or Sweet Almond oil and rub on temples and back of neck for headache relief.

For tired feet, mix 1 drop of Peppermint with 1 tablespoon of carrier oil such as Jojoba. Pour into foot bath and soak feet.

Bee sting or bug bite? A drop of lavender on a bee sting can help ease the pain.

These are just a few uses to get you started using these essential oil favorites.  There are many more uses for them and I'm sure you'll discover your own favorites.  If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment or send a message.

Some safety considerations for these oils.

Check the latin name of the essential oils before purchasing to ensure you're getting the intended oil.

I recommend diluting all essential oils before applying to the skin, with the exception of using Lavender on a bee sting.

Peppermint- Do not use on or around children under 5 yrs of age.  Use in low 1-2% dilution for skin.

Sweet Orange- may cause skin irritation.  Use in low 1-2% dilution for skin.

A 1% dilution is 5-6 drops essential oil per 1 ounce of carrier oil or lotion.

I Need Sleep - Essential Oils for Sleep Support

     If you're like me, sleep doesn't always come easy.  Sometimes it seems the more exhausted I am, the more difficulty I have falling asleep and staying asleep.  After a long, non-stop day, there are always the questions- Did I forget something?  Did I finish everything that needed to be accomplished?  Tomorrow will be busy enough, but can I fit anything extra in my day?

      Chances are, if you're having sleep difficulties, you have read about and possibly even tried a few suggestions for falling into a deep slumber.  Perhaps you've tried cutting your caffeine intake after 3pm or maybe even cutting it out all together.  Maybe you're already turning your television off about an hour before bedtime, and turning off cell phones and other electronic devices around the same time.  Perhaps you have tried taking a warm shower or bath and practice a little yoga before bed. If you're doing all of these things and still having difficulty, try diffusing calming essential oils approximately an hour before bedtime.

     Listed below are 18 essential oils which help with calming the mind and getting a good night's rest.  Most are calming to the central nervous system while others have a comforting aroma and an overall calming effect on the mind.  Some are great for reducing anxiety and over-thinking.  Choose a single oil or 2-3 favorites to create a blend that you like.  Generally, just 4-8 drops total of essential oil in a diffuser is plenty.  Just remember, the smaller the space and the stronger the oil, the less essential oil is needed.  Diffusing too much essential oil in a small space will cause a headache and/or agitation.
