October 1, 2007 | 10 Comments
If you are a Lord Of The Rings fan, like myself, perhaps you know where I chose part of this title? There And Back Again was a book written within a book you will see it mentioned in Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit. I’ve read both books several times.
Why did I choose that title? This next series is completely unexpected you see it involves my four year old daughter getting sick with her first cold. I will start the series at my main website Vegan Momma I’ll move it on to The Raw & The Cooked it will come back to Healing Yourself Naturally.
If you’ve read Healing Yourself Naturally for any length of time you will know that I’m passionate about healing myself, and my family, through natural means. I don’t believe that all allopathic medicine is bad, but I do think many of us reach for it too quickly when we could be reaching Read more

Lavender Essential Oil: Relax Yourself Naturally
September 25, 2007 | 6 Comments
Have you ever had problems falling asleep? A few years ago I was always having issues falling asleep my mind was always racing and I could not get it to shut down. I constantly found myself reaching for a natural remedy that would help me to fall asleep naturally. That does not happen anymore I’m usually asleep within ten minutes after going to bed. What did I reach for when I had trouble falling asleep? I used lavender essential oil.
Since my business is natural beauty products, I definitely have the essential oil on hand. All my essential oils are purchased in bulk. I simply add a few drops of the lavender essential oil into a spray bottle which water is added. That’s it! I lightly spray my bedsheets.
If you are concerned about spotting your sheets (never happened to me before) spray, a tiny area of fabric or even better you can make yourself a dream pillow.
You don’t know how to make a dream pillow? I’ll include a simple sleepy time recipe. It works like a charm with my daughter and know she associates those natural scents with relaxation. The beauty of it is that it’s cheaper than purchasing a pillow yourself. However, if you are sewing challenged stick around I’ll be offering them for sale within the next few weeks or you can purchase a dream pillow somewhere else.

In the last article, we talked about Natural Remedies For Pregnancy in this article we’ll look at a few things that can cause stretch marks and and I’ll share a recipe that kept my skin soft and supple. I didn’t have any stretch marks.
How Are Stretch Marks Caused?
When rapid changes occur in your weight by dieting, weight gain, or pregnancy you can develop stretch marks. I read a lot about stretch marks in the early stages of pregnancy. A lot of what I read stated that not too much you can do about them during pregnancy since a lot of it depends on hormones. In time stretch marks will get lighter.
Possible Ways To Avoid Stretch Marks
- Control your weight
- Keep your skin supple and firm by using moisturizers
- Make healthy food choices studies have shown that receiving vitamins and minerals in your diet will help maintain the connective tissue.
When I was pregnant I created a Nourishing Body Balm. I had used the butters and oils for years in a variety of different blends that I had made for myself and for my customers. I thought they would be fabulous in my pregnancy body balm. It’s a lovely aromatherapy blend. I added lavender Read more
