The journey toward wellness can be relative, with a chronic condition like fibromyalgia or arthritis, because "well" isn't part of the mix.  No cures, but fortunately there are many ways to seek relief without the side effects of prescription medications.  One such avenue leads to Illinois, where Pam Taylor, ND, practices.  She's written a new book, "Simple Ways of Healing," that includes many, many simple blends of essential oils for dozens of common ailments and conditions.

Three of Taylor's more complicated blends are published in Kurt Schnaubelt's book, "The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils."  I highly recommend the pain relief blend formula shared by Taylor with Schnaubelt's readers.  My first batch is working very well, particularly to relieve muscular and connective tissue pain that develops overnight. 

Please use the amazon.com link on this blog to shop for these excellent books; the pennies I'll earn on your purchases will be going toward my daughter's college fund!

Resistance is Futile

We hear a lot about bacterial resistance to prescription medications.

Learn more about how essential oils can be helpful in the battle against bacteria and viruses, by reading "Resistance," in Chapter Two: The Bioactivity of Essential Oils ("The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils," Kurt Schnaubelt, Ph. D., Healing Arts Press 2011).

This is a challenging read, as a scientific review of literature and detailed analysis of how the chemical properties of essential oils work on the human body.  It's also fascinating.  Several chapters also dig into specifics about essential oils and their place in healing.


Schnaubelt's Ph.D. is in chemistry and he is the co-director and founder of the Pacific Institute of Aromatherapy in California.
