3 USES FOR CAMPHOR ESSENTIAL OIL<br />
• Insecticide: Not only is camphor oil an effective disinfectant,<br />
but it is also an excellent, natural insecticide.<br />
Leave a piece of cloth soaked in camphor oil out in<br />
the open (or you can burn it as well) and it will drive<br />
away the insects! A drop of camphor oil mixed in with<br />
a large amount of grains can also help repel bugs<br />
away from your food stores. After a camping trip or<br />
long hike, it may be helpful to have a bath with a little<br />
camphor oil mixed in to help disinfect your skin and kill<br />
any parasites or small bugs that may have latched on<br />
to your body<br />
• Decongestant: Camphor oil is a very good decongestant<br />
and is found in many cold rubs and balm products.<br />
Rubbing some on the chest, after diluting with<br />
another carrier oil like lavender or olive oil, will help<br />
clear congestion of the respiratory system and ease<br />
cold symptoms (i.e. coughing, stuffy nose). Coupled<br />
with its anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial<br />
properties, camphor oil is a useful remedy for colds,<br />
flu, and bronchitis.<br />
• Stimulant: Camphor oil helps stimulate our circulatory<br />
system, improving its functioning and increasing the<br />
activity of processes such as digestion, secretion and<br />
excretion. This helps eliminate problems caused by<br />
improper circulation, sluggishness, poor bowel movement,<br />
gout, and rheumatism. Camphor oil also helps<br />
to reduce swelling in our body, as in the case of arthritis,<br />
which contributes even more to proper circulation.<br />
***Please take care to use camphor oil in small amounts.<br />
It should also always be diluted with another carrier oil.<br />
Camphor oil is extremely powerful and can be very toxic.<br />
Always consult your health care provider when using it in<br />
conjunction with other medicines or treatments.<br />
LIFE PROGRAM<br />
Our daughter, Maggie,<br />
was diagnosed<br />
with Cerebral Palsy<br />
when she was 17<br />
months old, though we<br />
expected this diagnosis<br />
much sooner. In the<br />
four weeks that we’ve<br />
been here, Maggie<br />
and we have learned<br />
so much and she has<br />
accomplished amazing things. She can roll, sit and crawl – all the<br />
things that she tried her best to do before but not properly. She can<br />
now transition from the floor to sitting, to being on her knees, to<br />
standing and she is even taking steps with very little support both<br />
with and without a walker. We were told to get a wheelchair before<br />
we came! Overall, we can’t say enough about Natan and the staff<br />
here at Health in Motion. From functional rehabilitation, to massages,<br />
communication and diet advice, they have it all covered.<br />
We’re so grateful God led us here to support our little Maggie.<br />
Thank you so much!<br />
