How to Make a Natural Vapor Bath

How to Make a Natural Vapor Bath

An aromatherapy vapor bath made with fresh medicinal herbs and essential oils can soothe aches and pains, relieve cold symptoms and bronchitis or simply help you relax after a long hard day. There are many bath salts and oils available for aromatherapy baths, but there is nothing quite as satisfying as a vapor bath made at home from fresh herbs and oils.

Things You'll Need:

Old nylon stocking

1/2 cup of eucalyptus leaves

1/2 cup of fresh chamomile

1/2 cup oatmeal

15 drops rosemary essential oil

1/2 cup of sea salt

1/4 cup natural honey

1

Fill the foot of an old nylon stocking with 1/2 cup of eucalyptus leaves, 1/2 cup of fresh chamomile and 1/2 cup of oatmeal. Tie a knot in the nylon and gently crush the leaves.

2

Draw a hot bath, as hot as you can handle, and drop the herb filled stocking into the water. As the water is running, add 15 drops of
rosemary
essential oils, 1/2 cup of sea salt and 1/4 cup of honey under the tap.

3

Enjoy the soothing aromatherapy soak for as long as you like. This combination of natural herbs and oils will help you breath easy and relax while softening and gently cleansing your skin. The sea salts and eucalyptus will help stimulate blood circulation, so when you leave your bath you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Tips & Warnings

Trap the healing aromatherapy vapors of your bath by closing the shower curtain around the tub.

For a bubble vapor bath, add a few ounces of liquid peppermint castile soap to the running water. Not only will it add to the healing aroma, it will add some sudsy fun.

Use this natural and healing aromatherapy vapor bath to soothe the dryness and itch caused by eczema or chicken pox.

How to Make a Natural Room Spray

How to Make a Natural Room Spray

Most of what I do centers around using herbs to help support and encourage health. But I also keep a collection of my favorite essential oils. I find that the two support each other very well because they are made from different parts of the plant, and therefore have different uses.

One of my favorite ways to use essential oil is around the home, particularly as a room spray. The wonderful thing about creating a room spray is that once you learn the technique, you can use your favorite essential oils.

The recipe I am featuring here includes my favorite combination: peppermint,
rosemary
and grapefruit. It's bright and energizing and I love to spray it in my office while I'm working to help enhance my concentration. However, you can use any essential oil or combination that you want.

Things You'll Need:

4-oz. glass spray bottle (amber or blue)

1-oz. vodka or other clear spirit (at least 80 proof)

3 drops peppermint essential oil

2 drops rosemary essential oil

2 drops grapefruit essential oil

Water (enough to fill the rest of the container)

1

Add vodka or other clear spirit to the glass or amber jar.

2

Add the essential oils. Cover and shake vigorously for a few seconds.

3

Add water until the jar is full. Cover and shake again.

4

Let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least a day before you start using it.

Tips & Warnings

Take the time to find the highest quality essential oils possible. I have provided a link in Resources below for Mountain Rose Herbs, my favorite herbal and essential oil supplier.

Some essential oil companies sell essential oil blends that you may want to try as well. Just make sure they contain pure essential oils and no additives.

Do not spray this blend on your skin. Grapefruit essential oil can make your skin sensitive to sunlight, and peppermint and rosemary can irritate tender tissues.

How to Make a Natural Refreshing Breath Spray

How to Make a Natural Refreshing Breath Spray

Gotta love that garlic! Chowed down on hot peppers or that wonderful pepperoni pizza? Unfortunately, as good as they taste, these and many other foods can give you bad breath. If you prefer not to use a commercial breath spray, and want to go with something natural and refreshing, natural essential oil-based breath sprays are ideal. There are a variety of different formulas that you can create to freshen your breath. Here are the steps to make two of them.

Things You'll Need:

Pure essential oils

Mist spray bottle (4 fluid ounces)

Purified water

Honey

1

Buy honey, preferably a local variety if available. Local honey has the added benefit of helping you build up resistance to local pollens.

2

Choose 100 percent pure essential oils as only these offer healthful benefits. The label will state "100% pure." You can find them at health food stores and online. DonвЂ™t use synthetic oils because they do not have the same benefits.

3

Choose which formula you prefer based on what you like to smell and taste. Formula #1 uses lemon and
lavender
essential oils. Formula #2 uses cinnamon and orange essential oils.

4

Prepare the breath spray bottle. Fill the bottle with 4 fluid ounces (or 120 ml) of purified water.

5

Add the oils for Formula #1. To the water, add 10 drops each of lemon and of lavender essential oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of honey. Cap the bottle and shake well to mix ingredients. Go to Step 7.

6

Add the oils for Formula #2. To the water, add 10 drops each of cinnamon and orange essential oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of honey. Cap the bottle and shake well to mix ingredients. Go to Step 7.

7

Spray 1 or 2 times directly into your mouth to freshen your breath.

Tips & Warnings

You can make larger batches of the breath spray rather than just one at a time by using multiples of 4 ounces (8, 16, 32) and adding the proportionate ratio of drops.

Store the bottle in a cool place to protect the contents. Avoid direct sunlight.

Ongoing bad breath may be a symptom of tooth decay or digestive health issues. If bad breath persists, consult your health care professional.

How to Practice Qigong Meditation

How to Practice Qigong Meditation

For centuries, Chinese practitioners have used Qigong and Qigong meditation to treat disease and improve health and fitness. Pronounced "chee-gong," Qigong is an ancient practice that incorporates physical movement, breathing techniques and meditation. It's used to strengthen the body, build endurance, quiet the mind, reduce stress and promote relaxation. It's an integral part of an overall health and wellness plan and is commonly used to treat and manage bowel problems, migraines, diabetes and other conditions that can be worsened by stress. Follow these steps to learn how to practice Qigong meditation.

Things You'll Need:

Location where you can be free from distraction in a quiet, peaceful setting

Comfortable clothes that will not restrict your movements

1

Find a quiet place free from all distractions.

2

Assume a comfortable position.

3

Close your eyes.

4

Visualize your breathing. See it coming in and out of your body.

5

Imagine each breath as a healing breath.

6

Picture your lungs filling with healing energy with every inhale. Imagine purging your body of toxins, stress and negative energy with every exhale.

7

Relax your jaw. Notice anywhere else you may be carrying tension and relax that part of your body.

8

Feel your body's natural flow of energy. Feel how each breath contributes to it.

9

Think about your body's vital organs and concentrate on directing your own healing energy toward them.

10

Forget about what happened at work today and what you have planned for tonight. You want your mind free from distraction and intuitively focused on your own well being and healing abilities.

11

Use Qigong movements to enhance your meditation and vice versa. Be strong where and when you need to be strong and loose and relaxed where and when you need to purge tension.

12

Learn more about the practice of Qigong from Ken Cohen's audio cassette "The Practice of Qigong: Meditation and Healing" (see Resources below).

Tips & Warnings

Incorporate Qigong meditation as part of a program designed to reduce stress.

Qigong meditation can be an inexpensive and convenient way to reduce blood pressure by managing stress levels versus expensive prescription drugs. The materials needed to practice Qigong, such as comfortable clothing, cost little.

High blood pressure can be a symptom of other serious conditions that may need treatment. Let your doctor know that you're using meditation or other self-care techniques to lower blood pressure.

Always discontinue any Qigong activity if you feel dizziness or severe pain and seek medical attention right away.

Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.

How to Practice Kabbalah Meditation

How to Practice Kabbalah Meditation

Though Kabbalah mysticism has enjoyed a recent surge in visibility thanks to its adoption by a number of high-profile celebrities, it is an ancient tradition that has been practiced for thousands of years. If you're looking to deal with depression and reduce stress, Kabbalah meditation might be a transcendent way of finding new meaning in your life. Meditation is the ancient art of relaxing the body while focusing the mind.

Things You'll Need:

Quiet time to spend in solitude

Computer with Internet access

A place to meditate

Learn About Kabbalah Mysticism

1

Know that Kabbalah is primarily concerned with the important Jewish spiritual paradox of God being unknowable by thought, yet tangible and present in all things.

2

Be aware that Kabbalah meditation attempts to experience the divinity of God through intuitive, spiritual means.

3

Read up on the Kabbalistic tradition online (see Resources below). A thorough understanding will help guide your meditative practice.

Practice Kabbalah Meditation

1

Know what's involved. The practice of Kabbalah meditation generally involves a morning meditation, plus a recitation of the 3 blessings and meditation verses.

2

Learn the morning prayer online (see Resources below). It is a sequence of Hebrew letters, recited to give thanks to God and express our appreciation for a new day. It is coupled with an evening prayer (see Step 4).

3

Practice the 3 blessings, also available online (see Resources below). These are intended to invoke the healing power of spirits, allowing them to descend upon you and give you their strength.

4

Memorize the Kabbalah's meditation verses. This is usually recited at night, as a way of beseeching the powers that be to return your soul to your body in the morning. Kabbalistic thought holds that the spirit leaves the body during sleep to inhabit a higher plane of consciousness.

5

Find a Kabbalah center near you where you can receive expert instruction and network with like-minded individuals. Adherents of Kabbalistic principles have very community-minded values and welcome new members.

Tips & Warnings

Some Kabbalah centers charge membership fees. Depending on where you live, these can range from an inexpensive to moderate investment.

Use meditation as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle, not as primary treatment for stress-related syndromes such as anxiety, depression, ulcers or high blood pressure. Talk to a doctor immediately if you feel stress is interfering with your ability to live your life normally.
