In terms of essential oils, rosemary and
juniper are excellent (3–4 drops for
a small bath). Remember that during
the preparation of the bath, essential
oils must first be mixed with suitable
carrier oils (base oils) – for example,
honey, cream, and salt from the Dead
Sea. Pour the essential and carrier oils
into the cool bath. You can also include
diuretic foods in this diet such as
melon or cucumber. Boiled potatoes
also help, and if you have lovage (Levisticum
officinal) at your disposal, then
boil it with the potatoes.
BEE STINGS
If you happen to meet with a bee in
the wrong place and time and it deems
itself entitled to take defensive measures,
you’ll most likely end up with
a sting, which needs to be carefully
pulled out. Ideally, do not hold it at the
end, which contains a poison capsule,
but rather scrape it out. Then treat the
affected area with three drops of
chamomile blue, letting it drip onto
a vinegar poultice and letting it work
for as long as necessary.
Moving on, in summer, mosquitoes
and black fly stings can be treated by
the following:
- Mix 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
with 3 drops of thyme and rub the
affected area.
WASPS
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar,
2 drops of lavender, 2 drops of
chamomile blue. Mix together and rub
the affected area or prepare a cool poultice.
DIARRHEA
Not only in summer but also during
the year one isn’t immune to digestive
problems, with one of the frequent
symptoms being diarrhea. There are
various origins of diarrhea, and if you
are able to identify what type it is, you
can use the following recipes:
Viral diarrhea: 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
of oil, add 2 drops of thyme linalool,
2 drops of lavender, 1 drop of tea tree
Food poisoning: 1 tablespoon of oil,
2 drops of blue chamomile, 3 drops of
peppermint, 1 drop of eucalyptus radiata
Stress: 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 drop of
Roman chamomile, 2 drops of eucalyptus
radiata, 3 drops of lavender
Gently rub the selected blends on the
stomach area, or use with pressing
nerve endings in order to treat the large
intestine.
It is also necessary to ensure fluid intake
to prevent dehydration, so we
present you with the following hydrating
solution: 2 Quarts of water, ½ teaspoon
of salt and 4 teaspoons of
glucose. Dissolve, add a little fruit juice
and serve in small portions.
TRAVEL SICKNESS
- 10 drops of ginger, 4 drops of peppermint,
2 drops of eucalyptus radiata
and 2 drops of coriander
Pour this solution into a bottle and
dilute with a ratio of 2 drops to 1 teaspoon
of oil. Before setting off on the
road, rub on the back and stomach.
And for the journey take tea made
from ginger root and fresh mint.
Furthermore, we can make good use
of the car diffuser by adding essential
oils along with a good few drops of
peppermint.
VAGINAL MYCOSIS
Vaginal mycosis is very unpleasant
disease which frequently rears its ugly
head repeatedly. Most women experience
it at least once in their lifetime. It
may appear due to summer bathing
and sometimes sub-standard sanitary
