Have You Ever Heard Of Guava Leaf Essential Oil?

Guava leaf essential oil is derived from the leaves of the guava plant scientifically known as Psidium guajava, through a process of steam distillation from the leaves of guava tree.

Guava EO is known for its rich and fruity aroma, resembling the scent of ripe guava fruits.

Here are some of its uses and benefits:

1. Skincare: Guava leaf essential oil is known for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which can help protect the skin from infections, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin. It can heal wounds, soothe skin irritations, and prevent acne breakouts.

2. Haircare: This essential oil can nourish the scalp, strengthen hair follicles, and promote healthy hair growth. It can help reduce dandruff, prevent hair loss, and add shine and luster to the hair.

3. Digestive health: Guava leaf essential oil can be used to alleviate digestive issues such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and stomachaches. It possesses antispasmodic properties that help relax the muscles in the digestive system.

4. Immune system support: The oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and other nutrients that can boost the immune system and protect the body from various infections and diseases.

5. Anti-inflammatory effects: Guava leaf essential oil contains compounds like quercetin and flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. It can help reduce inflammation in the body, relieving pain and promoting overall wellness.

6. Stress relief: The pleasant aroma of guava leaf essential oil can have a calming effect on the mind and body. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation.

7. Antimicrobial properties: The oil possesses antimicrobial properties, making it effective against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It can be used to disinfect wounds, prevent infections, and kill pathogens.

8. Respiratory health: Guava leaf essential oil can help clear the respiratory tract, relieve coughs, and soothe irritated throat and nasal passages. It can also provide relief from symptoms of respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis.

It is worth noting that guava leaf essential oil should be used with caution, as it is highly concentrated. It is recommended to dilute it with a carrier oil before applying it to the skin or using it for aromatherapy purposes. Additionally, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and individuals with specific medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before using this essential oil.

I've been remaking my recipes theses days..

Introducing my latest creations - Organic Tallow Balm, and Organic Tallow whipped body cream. These products are not just any ordinary skincare items. They have a secret ingredient that is both touching and eye-grabbing - Tallow.

Many people may flinch at this seemingly strange ingredient. But let me assure you, it's worth giving it a chance.

Beef tallow is a nutritious and natural substance that is highly beneficial for the skin.

Cosmetic companies have been using tallow in their skincare products for its moisturizing properties, and for good reason.

Compared to plant-based oils, tallow provides skin with intense hydration. It is the perfect remedy for dry, winter skin.

Tallow contains a host of vitamins and antioxidants that keep skin healthy and robust, preventing signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

It is rich in vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that protects skin from harmful UV rays.

The composition of fatty-acids in tallow, particularly oleic acid, makes it the perfect ingredient for dry or aging skin.

Oleic acid penetrates deeply into the skin's surface, replenishing lost moisture and preventing further water loss.

But don't worry about tallow clogging your pores - it is noncomedogenic and works with our skin's natural sebum to moisturize, soothe, and repair it without causing breakouts.

In short, my Organic Tallow Balm and Whipped Body Cream are simple yet precise solutions to winter skin woes.

They are natural, effective, and long-lasting - ensuring your skin stays hydrated and healthy all season long.

Why Lavender (lavandula angostifolia)
Essential Oil?

Lavender essential oil is an absolute enchantment for the senses, radiating a divine aroma that transcends the body, mind, and soul.

Its essence whispers of calmness, soothing like a comforting embrace, and embracing softness like a warm blanket.

The magic of this oil can be overwhelming, as it has the power to ease emotional turmoil, promote relaxation, lull one into peaceful sleep and invigorate a sense of tranquility.

Delving into the depths of history, we discover that Lavender has commanded deep reverence since ancient times.

Its alluring Latin name "lavare" meaning "to wash" symbolizes the importance of self-care and cleanliness.

The age-old practice of using lavender in baths is a testament to its precious and powerful properties.

Today, its therapeutic benefits are highly sought after, as it provides a natural solution for relaxation, stress relief, pain management, and repels pesky insects while cleaning and sterilizing surfaces.

Lavender is rich in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties, making it ideal for skin irritations, hair growth, menstrual cramps, and muscular aches.

The sheer beauty of its aroma laced with therapeutic benefits makes lavender essential oil a staple in everyone's life.

The oil is a precious elixir, a nurturer of the senses, and a balm for the soul, a true gift of nature‼️

Reveling in the benefits of lavender essential oil and allowing ourselves a moment to ponder how it has etched itself into human history is truly a humbling and surreal experience.

After A Wild Night Out..

Essential Oils Help Hangover.

What is a Hangover?

Scientifically speaking, a hangover can be described as the experience of several unpleasant psychological and physiological effects that occur following the ingestion or consumption of ethanol as found in beer, wine, distilled spirits and other alcoholic beverages.

Some of the symptoms of hangovers include headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, sweating and gastrointestinal distress.

Typically, hangover can last for several hours or stretch out for more than fully 24 hours. The severity or intensity of hangover is however closely linked to exactly how much alcohol you consumed, dehydration levels as well as how many hours of sleep you got.

Causes And Risk Factors Of Hangovers..
1) Acetaldehyde
Acetaldehyde is the first by product of ethanol and is actually 10 to 30 times more toxic than alcohol. After the initial consumption of ethanol, Acetaldehyde can remain elevated for hours on end. It influences one of the key antioxidant enzymes known as glutathione peroxidase which makes you more susceptible stress. Similarly, the acetic acid formed interfers with some metabolic processes causing a plethora of problems.

2) Congeners

Here's one of my favorite topics when it comes to hangover. You may not know what congeners are, but they already have a huge impact on what kind of drinks you like.. Apart from water and ethanol, most alcoholic drinks contain congeners, either as a by-product of fermentation and aging or a flavorings. Although ethanol in itself is more than sufficient to cause a hangover, congeners aggravate the symptoms and cause residual side effects.

Congeners include acetones, amides, amines, methanol, esters, histamines, tannins, fusel oil and polyphenols, but not all of them are toxic. Different types of alcoholic beverages contain different amounts of congeners, with dark liquors having the highest concentration.

3) Dehydration

Alcohol tends to have a dehydrating effect as a result of increased urine production known as dieresis which leads to dehydration, thirst, dry mouth, dizziness, and electrolyte imbalance. However, studies have shown that electrolyte changes only play a minor role in causing hangover. Drinking water might help relieve the symptoms, but it really does nothing for presence and severity unless you were properly hydrated while drinking alcohol.
4) Low Blood Sugar
5) immune System Response.

Essential oils and hangovers.

1) Grapefruit EO
Refreshing and mentally uplifting. Calms and promotes a sense of peacefulness.

2) Rosemary EO
Clear and refresh the mind, g concentration levels and boosting mental clarity. Reduces memory loss from excessive alcohol intake. Clears mental fatigue and drastically reduces the severity of headaches and migraines associated with hangover.

3) Sandalwood EO
One of the most potent antiinflammatory agents and soothes tension within the body. It is also ideal for controlling blood pressure.

4) Lavender EO
Anti-inflammatory and sedative, calms and balance the body as well as the mind
which allows for faster recovery. Lavender offers treatment for hangovers, such as insomia, and sensitivity to stimuli, nausea, and irritability.

5) Peppermint EO
The sweet scent of methanol works wonders at treating intense nausea as well as calming an irritated bowel. Also alleviates headaches, migrains, and other symptoms of hangovers.

Diffuser Blends for Hangover

4 drops Rosemary EO
4 drops Peppermint EO
3 drops Grapefruit EO
2drops Lavender EO
Filtered water

Add the above blend to your diffuser during the day to
help revive, refresh, calm and sharpen your mind.

If you want more blend for hangover, message me and I will give you my recipe.

Take care and be well!

Hello KaoriFamily!

I would like to share the Golden Rules for Using Essential Oils so that if by chance you find some 100%essential oils in the market or malls, you will know how to use them safely.

A friend of mine called me, and she was so excited that she found a bottle of Hinoki Essential Oils on her trip to Kyoto, and she asked me if she could use it for her oil massage that night at the onsen hotel. I was so glad she had the presence of mind to call me first before using that Oil.

That's what makes me wonder if some of you have done " Buy and Use" without asking/ searching it first?
Friends, please don't hesitate to ask me regarding the usage or the chemical components of the Essential Oils you found. I am here, willing to assist you, and yes, of course, it is free!
Your safety is my priority!

7 Golden Rules for Using Essential Oils with 100% Peace of Mind

1. Strictly observe the dosages, precautions for use, length of treatment, and administration route: these are active extracts that must be used with the utmost care.
2. Always keep your essential oil in its original packaging, with the instruction leaflet, so that you can refer to it whenever you need it.
3. Do not replace one essential oil with another if you are unfamiliar with it, even if their names are similar: for instance, true lavender and spike lavender have different indications, as do thyme thymol and thyme linalool, or ravensare and ravintsara.
4. Always wash your hands thoroughly after using essential oil.
5. Do not subject essential oils to intense heat (placing a raised dish over a candle, for instance). Use a cold mist diffuser, ceramic gentle heat diffuser, or mist humidifier.
6. Follow the instructions for use. Many essential oils are not permitted during pregnancy (especially the first trimester) and breastfeeding. Similarly, some are not recommended for children under 7. In the event of kidney or liver problems, convulsive disorders, cardiovascular pathologies, persons subject to epilepsy or asthma, and, in general, in the event of medical treatment or long-term disease, always seek the opinion of your family physician.
If you are being treated with medication, watch out for possible interactions with essential oils! Do not hesitate to ask your physician or pharmacist for advice.
7. An allergic reaction can never be ruled out, especially in vulnerable or sensitized subjects. It’s best to take a skin test (place 1 or 2 drops of essential oil on the inside of your elbow, wait 48 hours, then repeat and wait 1 hour to make sure there is no reaction).

What to do in the event of a problem?
1. Avoid all contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
2. Rinse immediately and thoroughly, preferably using plant oil (cooking or other oil), or if not available, rinse with clean water.
3. Contact a physician or the poison center.
4. Accidental ingestion= Immediately contact the poison center.

Hopefully, you will remember all these.

I know how it feels when you found an essential oil that smells so great and your mind is giving you lots of images on how to use them.

Be well and Keep Safe!
