Your poor feet! All winter covered in socks, shoes or boots, never seeing the light of day. And ROUGH! It's amazing how one season can make them dry, hard, crusty and so not appealing. What comes next?! Sandal and barefoot season! It's a conspiracy.....

Is all hope lost? Fabulous Foot Butter to the rescue.

The almost all natural ingredients in our Foot Butter are made for softening and healing so well so it's almost magic. The addition of essential oils for a clean minty scent is just the topping on an already terrific product. Peppermint is there along with revitalizing sweet orange oil. Tea tree gives the combination a healing and disinfecting aspect that feet need after being used all day long.

The perfect restorative practice is to slather it on and socks over those tired pups before bed and in the morning...hey, wait a second. Whose feet are on the end of my legs?!?! (Cheesy, I know) Seriously though, the change may be incredible. Customers have also used it on dry patches of skin (elbows, knees) and even on burns to speed healing and keep the skin looking well as it heals. It won't matter what you use it on, it will help everything work better! Even the rubbing that you do to incorporate it is helpful. See that article here.

With spring already here or soon approaching, THANK GOODNESS for open windows! I have a puppy (6 months old) who has been spending the last few months of the winter trying to find ways to go potty in the house undetected. Now that the house is warming up, there are odd smells wafting in..... besides wet, stinky dog.

I've ramped up the essential oils and reeds to no avail, just isn't cutting it. I began thinking about all the traditional ways to have a cleaner, sweeter smell as you enter the front door and ran across an article about commercial scents.

I knew about most of these symptoms but had forgotten a few. Asthma attacks and other respiratory issues, headaches and migraines, skin irritation (dermatitis), hormone disruption and reduced fertility and/or impaired development of children’s bodies. Are you as amazed by that as I am? That's SERIOUS! :( All from wanting your house to smell better, amazing. Have you ever watched those commercials that make you feel like to be a good mom or housewife that this is an essential thing?! I have felt that same tug too.

Well, anyway, phthalates are the general monster in all this, a chemical added to help hold the fragrance. This is what
Rochester Medical says about that. "Certain phthalates can
harm the development of the reproductive system, especially in boys, and affect fertility in adults. Some phthalates are suspected of increasing the risk of cancer. Phthalates may contribute to
allergies and asthma. You can be exposed to these chemicals by using air fresheners." Anything else? (big eye roll) Well, yes "However, be aware of greenwashing – even products labeled "natural" or "green" can still contain harmful chemicals. Look for products with plant-based ingredients."

So where are we. Essential oils basically. When you're looking for something search for units or things that use essential oils as the freshening or scent agent. I've tried the reeds but haven't been impressed with them. I have a diffuser that works pretty well (from amazon, searching essential oil diffusers) and have been pretty happy with it. And of course you now where to get the oils for them.....https://gilleysnaturals.square.site/shop/100-pure-essential-oils-undiluted-therapeutic-grade/KI7YLBBTE7KOGJSP3EZF6ZIM

There are times when you take off your shoes and don't recognize the feet on the end of your legs. Has it ever been like that? You wanted to show off your new sandals or go barefoot somewhere and you're caught off guard by the cracks, dry skin and general poor condition of your appendages.

Do I have the thing for you.....I know, I know, you knew this was coming. Fabulous Foot Butter!! Now I KNOW a lot of you have tried this and love it (don't forget to comment below) and here are a few extra things people have told me. It's been used for treating and healing burns, keeping mosquitos away (rejoice Minnesota friends!) healing up deeper cracks in heels, keeping early nail fungus at bay, treating cracks and painful splits in older people's feet from developing into something nasty. A faithful friend said his podiatrist commented on how healthy his feet looked when he faithfully used it. Diabetics need to keep an eye on that!

It also is great for really dry spots on hands, elbows and arms/legs. It has an uplifting, refreshing smell you'll love. I knew a ranger who faithfully used it before putting on his gloves so that there weren't splits and cracks in his hands at the end of the day after handling wood and brush.

You'll smell peppermint oil immediately and tee tree helps with the healing aspect. Sweet orange oil keeps the scent grounded so it isn't overwhelming. Is there anything I've forgotten? Let me know!

EUCALYPTUS!! Are you surprised? A few drops on your temples may help with a nagging headache, several drops on the back of your neck for a little boost of energy, breathe in the steam of boiling water for congestion, a little rubbed into your neck for a sore throat or on your outer ear for earaches!

Dr. Axe suggests this recipe for a natural v***r rub when you have a cold, cough or congestion.¼ cup olive oil
½ cup coconut oil
¼ cup grated beeswax
20 drops cedarwood essential oil
20 drops eucalyptus essential oil
glass jar

Instructions
Pour the olive oil, coconut oil and beeswax into a jar.
Place a saucepan with 2 inches of water over low heat.
Place jar in saucepan and allow oils and beeswax to melt. Stir with wooden spoon to combine.
Once combined, allow to cool and add in essential oils. Stir to combine.
Pour mixture into metal tins or storage containers and allow to set.

I remember as a child the comfort of v***r rub when I was sick and this is a rub you won't have to worry about putting on a child's skin since it's free of the petrochemicals NO ONE wants absorbed, right? Don't forget, eucalyptus is strong so you may want to dilute any application with a carrier oil, or any oil you have in the kitchen will do too.

One last word about our best seller, I promise. Deep Muscle Relief comes in several different forms, let me explain why.

There were so many women saying that they loved to knit but had had to quit because of arthritis pain in their fingers and hands. Up to that point I had just sold the liquid so I decided to turn the liquid into a stick form that anyone could use themselves without the mess of oil. A person could easily rub a stick into a knuckle or wrist and get some relief quickly.

THEN, someone suggested something that didn't run like the oil and could still be applied to a larger area like a back. I combined the powerful oil with Fabulous Foot Butter, 98% natural ingredients and already a huge hit for it's softening and healing properties.

Now we had an ointment! People ask if one form of application is better than another and I can't say definitively but my guess is that if you can apply the straight oil, it's more concentrated and I imagine more powerful. Make sense?

Have any of you tried two or more forms and have some input? I had a weird idea last year for something. I needed to use the Deep Muscle on my upper back below the bottom of my scull. I thought it might work to use a small, long handled sponge for painting and put oil on it to rub into the area I couldn't reach. The pain cleared up before I could get to the store to get it but what do you think? If I ever do try it, you'll be the first to know. Thanks again for your comments and thoughts, we really do work out things better together!

I've heard some really positive comments from those of you who have tried our Deep Muscle products so I thought I'd share a success story.

A friend had some pretty regular back pain, daily. She used the Deep Oil almost every day and after rubbing it in, put a hot towel over the area. Some may have noticed on the label that I generally discourage this because it can feel pretty hot and I don't want that to dissuade you from trying it a second time....it even suggests NOT showering before or after applying it, because when your pores become open, it can feel uncomfortably warm. But she did and it was very helpful in getting the feeling of heat and comfort she needed. It will all depend on you and how it feels after trying it!

I went to a gym years ago and the weight lifters often had some tightness after starting a new set of exercises. Several of those men tried it and found real help with the inflamed areas they targeted.

Have you had success with any of the Deep Muscle products? Please comment and let others know that may need the extra pain relief. Don't forget, if you aren't happy with ANYTHING you receive from Gilley's, I'll refund your money or let you exchange for something else you've considered. You can't lose!

Are stiff sore muscles on your mind? Do you have painful joints or spots that are just aggravated by inflammation? Most people have at least one painful area that needs some help and we have what you might need.

Deep Muscle relief products are one of the foundational products of Gilley's Naturals and the longest thing to prepare. We steep it for at least 6 months! Here's what makes it great. The ingredient list begins with pure, virgin olive oil. It conditions and softens skin since it's closer in chemical structure to our skin than any other naturally occurring oil. It's high in vitamin E and massages into the skin easily and quickly without clogging pores.

Next are menthol crystals. These beautiful, aromatic crystals reduce swelling, muscle pain, spasms, and soreness and increase blood flow to an affected area. Its cooling effect helps calm inflammation so it may be helpful with all types of arthritis! Eucalyptus oil is also anti-inflammatory, analgesic (warming), and anti-spasmodic so it helps with muscles and tendons that are tight and painful. Arnica flowers help heal bruising, sprains, and strains, speed healing, and help with muscle recovery when they've been overused or abused.
We always knew chamomile flowers were good for relaxation but who would have thought they'd be helpful as an anti-inflammatory, for aches and pains, and as a sedative for muscles.

Grated fresh ginger root increases circulation, boosting the amount of blood flowing to an affected area while helping slow internal clotting (bruising). Great for all types of arthritis, it's anti-inflammatory properties help with joints, muscle tissue, and tendonitis. Lavender flowers are probably the most recognized herb for relaxation, so it makes good sense that it has properties that will help in a natural muscle rub. Helpful with bruises, aches, and both arthritis and rheumatism, lavender is a great addition.

Next is an herb well known for depression but it's also been found that St. John's Wort is great for nerve damage, and sciatica, is an anti-spasmodic, helps with inflammation, and is an analgesic (warming). Habanero peppers increase circulation and help reduce and block pain. It's a great anesthetic. Calendula (marigold) can be a great help with pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. Great in the garden too. :)

Wintergreen is a wonderful-smelling oil that also helps with pain, works as a stimulant, and fights inflammation. Lastly, helichrysum is an anti-coagulant and anti-hematic, which means it helps clear accumulated blood and clots. A very expensive essential oil, it encourages the recycling of dead cells and stimulates the production of new ones.

One last word on inflammation---almost all pain is caused by inflammation, so when you manage that, you usually manage pain. You'll see how many of the ingredients help with that! No wonder people love this aromatic oil.

How many of you have babies? If not now, I imagine many have HAD a little one at some time. What was the greatest challenge n your care of that teeny weeny one? I may have a solution.

Diapers are amazing, how did they do it before that invention? I used cloth with my first and maybe second because disposables hadn't been invented or I couldn't afford them. :) The rash that could develop was epic sometimes. So frustrating to me, painful to them and so disheartening! I remember using a lot of powder, butt pastes hadn't come to the market yet. I knew better than to use petroleum jelly but what could serve as a deterrent to the wetness and a barrier while healing? Gilley's Naturals came to the rescue with my grandchildren and how I love Diaper Rash Remedy for a myriad of things now that there aren't any diaper bottomed ones around.

We start with a good quality carrier oil, like jojoba that's one of the closest oils to our skin and also castor oil that covers and protects which the whole point, eh? Added to these two carriers are the natural essential oils like lavender and chamomile known for their healing benefits. It also is a great oil for inflammation because it's so soothing. Then tea tree, an incredible anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and all around wonderful benefit for any healing. Now that you can see the benefits for a painful bum rash, you'll be able to see that it can also substitute for so many wound healing solutions you may not feel comfortable using.

Have a rash? A scrape? A boo boo? Here's the natural solution before a band aid. It can help heal up all sorts of owies in your family. This is one of the Gilley's products that really stands out and has a huge following with recommendations and testimonial. (Another one is Healing Ear Oil but that will come later.....) This is the PERFECT gift for a new one and can then be used as that little sweetie (and the rest of the family) grow older. Don't let it slip by, give one to all the moms you know!

When I started doing research and development (a very fancy idea in business that really meant I gave it out for free to anyone I knew with babies) and the results were amazing. Out of 5 trials, it worked amazingly well in 4! Then the mom of the 5th found out that their baby had an allergy to the diapers so I don't count that one. Here's another great story....I had someone talk to me once about trying to sell it with a huge wholesaler in the area, a mega store. Too much work at my age but a definite testimonial to it's effectiveness for YOU.

Is your little one suffering from the pain of a rashy bum? Gilley's oil has an outstanding combination of oils to help. Jojoba is the most natural oil, the closest to your skin's sebum so it's nourished, and then coated by castor oil. This is heavy, protecting and covering the rash with....

Grapefruit!! Ha! Who would've thought something so healthy and yummy could be so effective as an oil? But t isn't the fleshy part that really holds benefits but the peel.

Just a few of it's benefits include disinfecting surfaces, cleansing your body, reducing depression, stimulating the immune system,
decreasing fluid retention, curbing sugar cravings and even helping with weight loss. Research shows that grapefruit oil can even fight strong bacterial strains that are responsible for food-born illnesses, including E. Coli and salmonella.

Grapefruit is also used to kill skin or internal bacteria and fungus, fight mold growth, kill parasites in animal feeds, preserve food, and disinfect water. A few drops mixed with your favorite carrier oil (like jojoba, coconut or olive oil for example) may help blemishes disappear more quickly, ease fatigue, or give you a bit of clarity with a project.

If you want to try it internally, here's what Dr. Axe says. "Grapefruit essential oil can be used aromatically, topically (when diluted with a carrier oil) and internally (when using a 100 percent pure, therapeutic-grade essential oil). When using grapefruit oil internally, remember that you only need 1-2 drops and excessive amounts can be toxic. Be careful to avoid any misleading information on the internet about using high quantities of grapefruit oil for weight loss, especially low-quality brands that might contain dangerous additives and fillers. Some sources claim that up to half a bottle per day should be taken for best results — but this is dangerous, potentially toxic and will very likely cause negative reactions. Overly consuming grapefruit oil can overstimulate the gallbladder and cause spasms and serious digestive issues like gallstones or changes in bile ducts."

You can probably see why this unassuming oil might be so effective with many issues in your life and especially now because when you order through the end of the month, every bottle will come with our wonderful lip balm, Kissy Lips just for trying it out. And of course we want to hear about how you like it!

That crisp, citrus smell isn’t just for breakfast anymore! Generally used in aromatherapy, inhaling its scent can help curb headaches, mental fatigue, depression, and even hangovers. Mixed with Patchouli it may suppress your appetite. Citrus oils are proven to help boost the activity of the lympha...
