Building Immunity

Monday, June 28th, 2010

10 years ago, a Tasmanian cattle farmer was repairing some very rusty fencing on a hill on the East Coast of Tasmania. He arrived at a section of Kunzea Trees (Australian Kanuka) that were leaning on the fence.

“As I began to cut them back to free the fence, I noticed that the section of the fence, previously covered by the trees, looked shiny and new. This provoked a thought process about how to utilise the antioxidant benefits of these plants and extract the oil for human use.”
Since then much research has been carried out with astonishing results.

Below we share with you a quick routine for building immunity:

• During winter add 10 drops Kanuka (Leptospermum ericoides) to your bath 2 times a week.
• To avoid catching bugs from others, rub 10 drops of Kanuka up & down your spine, before you go to bed at night.
• Take 1 drop of
Kanuka & 1 drop of Peppermint (Mentha piperita) on ½ tsp of honey 2 times a day after your meal; a refreshing antioxidant boost from the inside.
• Repeating 2-4 times per year for 10 days.

CAUTION: recipes apply to the use of Absolute Essential medicinal grade essential oils only.

Wishing you a healthy winter.

As your baby’s skin is so super-sensitive and so supple, you need to use the right type of product, to keep your baby’s skin regularly moisturized and supple.

Some parents fail to keep a close watch on their baby’s skin care needs and are not aware that their baby’s skin is most vulnerable to a host of irritating skin disorders. Your skin is the largest organ in the body and your baby’s skin requires extra attention. Your baby’s skin is very sensitive in the early stages – however, there are natural products available that are perfect to use for babies.
