START on the Street summer show in Worcester

Wow!! I totally forgot about this show I did three years ago in Worcester, MA and just discovered this "draft" in the archives. I must have been too busy making lotions and potions at the time to post this. If you notice, many of my earlier post are of all my press from my bath and body company, Relaxation Works Skin & Spa Co. I mainly wanted to post this because Beth and Ange have amazing talent!!!
Etsy is also amazing!

Check out Beth (her etsy store) and Ange's awesome handmade items!!

Treating Asthma Naturally with Essential Oils

I recently had a Young Living member phone me and expressed how her daughter had a horrible asthma attack after a soccer game. She immediate tried the natural way first by using Therapeutic Grade essential oils instead of the conventional inhaler. She told me that the oil blend R.C. wasn't really helping. My answer was of course it didn't work! R.C. bled was formulated for congestion and moving mucus out of the lungs. Asthma is a muscular issue not a congestion issue! She didn't have a cold she had a restriction in the throat and lungs. The muscles had to be relaxed. I suggested trying muscle relaxing oils such as Present Time (love the smell of this one!), Marjoram or Basil (oils part of the Raindrop Technique oils).

I also suggested that the next time they leave the house for the field that she throw a spray bottle filled with water and a couple of drops of peppermint oil in her bag. This was to be used to spray down her little one the next time she had a break during a game. Peppermint is a cooling oil and has been proven to reduce fevers....so why not reduce heat exhaustion on those hot summer days as well.

Why everyBODY needs Raindrop Technique! Health, Vitality and Detox. Part 1

Why everyBODY needs Raindrop Technique! Health, Vitality and Detox.
Part 1
By Kristen Tammaro LMT and essential oils follower – fanatic – lover

Well First of all, it feels good and helps to promote relaxation, detoxification, balancing and amazing healing happens with Therapeutic Grade essential oils that are in the Raindrop Technique (RT).

Do you want health and vitality? Do you shutter at the words detoxification or do you clap franticly with joy of excitement over that word? Why can't we just feel good all the time!
Some of these thoughts might be going through your mind just like they did mine. As a Licensed Massage Therapist I personally love the concept of the words health, vitality and detox; But like most I certainly did not like the effort that may be attached to it. Unfortunate but true! Changing your thought process will change your habits, I believe this and exceptionally try every day to practice it. The little challenges in life somehow seem to be the most meaningful.

So why all this chitter chatter about feelings, concepts and the virtual truth that we all want good things but can't seem to follow through with them consistently (not all of us but most of us and I'm in the most of us category)? Raindrop Technique can give you all three of those little words in a one hour treatment. These therapeutic grade essential oils can improve circulation, boost your immunity and bring vitality to your organs and living tissue within your body. This treatment helps aid in the process of detoxification because the 9 oils used in the Raindrop Technique are anti-viral, anti-spasmodic, anti-fungal, balancing and aid in the process of re-aligning the body's energy centers.

Take Valor for instance, also known as “chiropractor in a bottle”. Valor is a oil blend that contains spruce (Picea mariana), rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora), blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum) and frankincense (Boswellia carteri). Wouldn't you want to bring balancing and grounding into your life if all you had to do was apply a few drops of oil to your feet every day? Not only does valor contain frankincense which is good for wrinkles when applied to the face but it also helps with emotional issues as well. One Young Living member put a couple of drops of Valor on her feet everyday for 3 months and lost 25 pounds in water weight by overcoming fear and worry! That is amazing. Valor is an amazing emotional release oil blend that contributes to better health and vitality by empowering and strengthening us physical and spiritual. Valor is only one of the nine oils used in the Raindrop Technique. It amazes me how a couple of drops of oil can really change lives.

My second favorite oil in the Raindrop kit is basil. Not particularly because of the smell but the versatility. I have found that it not only makes my homemade spaghetti sauce taste better but it is great at reliving headaches, sometimes even more so than peppermint oil. Basil has a grounding aspect with a strange lightness to it that I think aids in the ability to really open up the sinuses easily and effortlessly. Basil is antiviral, anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxant. Wow, that drop of oil is doing a lot at once! You can also find basil in other Young Living oil blends such as Aroma Seiz, Clarity and M-Grain (no wonder why, Basil is part of the mint family). Basil can even be used on insect bites!

Raindrop Technique has also been clinically proven in blood samples. One Australian woman's blood work showed that inflammation within her body decreased, adrenal production increased, oxygen levels to the blood stream increased, and yeast within the blood decrease.

Frequently I am asked how long the effects of Raindrop last. Every person is biochemically different with different attitudes and lifestyles. I've had experience with clients that the results are immediate with in 10 minutes and last up to three weeks or even a month. I've had a client walk into a session with a cane and leave with it over their shoulder. I've also have had clients tell me that they don't feel anything different, which is OK. Those clients are still amazed at how good the treatment felt and I suggest to them that they come every two weeks for two months to aid their body in health and wellness. I personally receive raindrop monthly and a massage session weekly. It still amazes me that all the body work I do, I have no major structural, ligament or muscle issues related to my profession. I attest that to receiving body work regularly and using the oils every day.

Raindrop is all around amazing form of healing. It should be added to everBODY'S health regime to ward of inflammation, toxins and increase energy. Bringing a sense of balance and whole health into your lifestyle is attainable!
