Lavender Lip Balm

Lavender Lip Balm is gentle to the skin. Olivia is almost six months old and still sometimes nicks her skin with with nails. I put just a smidge of lavender lip balm over the scratch and it usually heals in 24 hours. She's close to teething and has the chapped baby drool chin. I swiped the lip balm over her chin and shortly afterwards the chapped, dark pink skin has changed back to healthy looking skin.

Pregnancy, Labor and Essential Oils

I have come to appreciate that Young Living Essential Oils are Therapeutic Grade which means they are higher quality than oils used in the perfume and food industry, contain no chemicals, additives or substitutes. I can safely use these oils knowing that each batch is tested for purity and potency. I have successfully used these oils to help with burns, sunburn, insomnia, thyroid, mold & mildew, and most recently with my pregnancy, labor and newborn baby girl. These are the Young Living products that I used while pregnant, the night of labor and delivery, ongoing breastfeeding and care of my five month old baby girl:

Don't expect the same results unless you are using Young Living Therapeutic Grade essential oils and supplements, also keep in mind that each person’s body chemistry is unique, so you may experience different results from the same oils.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender is an all-around essential oil. Lavender's calming properties help relax me during the day without making me feel sleepy. It is soothing on the skin after sunburn or other burns. It helps muscles relax. It has anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties. Applying Lavender oil to my abdomen may havr been the reason twelve uterine fibroids are now just two small fibroids.
