WHY WE CHOSE THESE OILS...

OREGANO

Oregano is the oil of immunity.

It's a hot oil so it should always be diluted when used topically and take care when cooking with it as it's very potent We recommend going with a toothpick swirl and building flavour that way.

It's rich in antioxidants and has antimicrobial properties, so it's wonderful for cleansing internally, especially against gut parasites.

It boosts the immune system with eliminating anything that shouldn't be present in our body It also works externally, as it's a powerful natural cleanser

Not only does it physically cut through the toxins in life, it also does this emotionally too, clearing negativity and further helping us to release any toxic attachments - be it people, jobs, thoughts, habits etc

It's forceful and intense and will encourage you to seek healthy connections while letting go of rigidity and negative attachments.

PEPPERMINT

Peppermint is one of the top selling oils as it has such a wide range of benefits from soothing skin to flavouring food, so it's always a very useful oil to have on hand and it can be used by all the family.

We could write a book about why we love Peppermint and what you can use it for, but we will keep it brief for now, however you'll see it appear in many of our creation books.

It's a cooling oil and can cool the body and stabilise body temperatures.

It supports digestion and can ease digestive discomfort

It's great to uplift and energise, supporting mental function and can ease headaches and reduce tension too.

On an emotional level it brings joy to the heart and soul. It invigorates the mind, body and spirit while uplifting and bringing a sense of happiness and a feeling of gliding through life.

The power of Peppermint is amazing and definitely an oil that you would want to support as it can give you and your loved ones additional strength in the journey through life.

Place 2 tablespoons of each - beeswax pellets, olive oil and coconut oil into a heat safe bowl. Put the bowl in a pan that has 1-2 inches of water in the bottom to create a double boiler. Heat the water on a medium heat until it's simmering. Stir the mixture occasionally as it melts and allow the mixture to melt completely.

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for several minutes.

Add the essential oils to the oil mixture and stir well. Pour the mixture into a small jar or tin. Allow the balm to cool and solidify completely before putting the lid on.

Work can often be tense, but we need some tension in our lives.

Sometimes tension works as motivation and without any tension our muscles would just be all floppy and we wouldn’t even stand up, but what we don't want is that negative tension, the type that makes your body hurt or your head feel like exploding after a long day at the office or wherever your source of work is.

Whether you have had a physically stressful day that causes your head to hurt or one of those mental overload days, use this balm to rub on your temples to let the tension and headache ease away, so you can manage your workday and experience a more productive, professional environment and be ready to tackle anything!

HEALTHY MINT CHOCOLATES M E T H O

Melt the coconut butter by putting it in a glass bowl and placing it in a pan that has 1-2 inches of water in the bottom to create a double boiler. Heat the water on a medium heat until it's simmering. Stir the mixture occasionally as it melts and allow the butter to melt completely. Once melted, add the Peppermint and mix well to combine. Pour the mixture into an ice cube mould, filling each cavity about ¾ full.

Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to set. Now, melt the chocolate in the same bowl as the butter and Peppermint, no need to wash it, and in the same way as before.

When the coconut butter mixture is solid, remove the mould from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate into the cavities until each one is full. Place back in the freezer for another 15 minutes for the chocolate to harden. Once they have hardened, pop them out of the mould and enjoy. Store in the fridge, as coconut butter softens at room temperature.

These minty treats work as an energy boosting snack and they help curb those sweet cravings too. Made with metabolism boosting coconut butter and antioxidant packed dark chocolate, they aren't only super healthy and beneficial to your body, but they actually feel like a really naughty & indulgent treat.

The Peppermint adds another uplifting benefit by helping to energise you both mentally and physically and the minty taste will help curb any sweet cravings, leaving your mouth feeling refreshed and satisfied.

You will only need one or two to do the job so there are plenty to share - or maybe not, as if you feel they're too good to share, just keep them in the fridge for another day.

You’ll feel so good about eating these tasty treats because they're completely guilt free!

LEMON & OREGANO STIR FRIED CHICKEN

EXPERIENCE

As you know your food choices have a huge impact on your physical health, but they can also play an even bigger part on your mental health and not only that, the health of your family too.

We want to be able to provide our family with nourishing and tasty meals which can sometimes be a challenge, but not anymore! Sit down for a wholesome family mealtime to bond and connect over lean chicken, which is high in protein, contributing to your body releasing dopamine and norepinephrine which helps to boost your energy and concentration levels. The sweet potato has a low glycemic index meaning it helps maintain a balanced blood sugar level, helping you avoid surges and crashes while still providing for serotonin release.

The Oregano adds a unique flavour while cleansing your body and helping eliminate toxins, both mentally and physically. Be aware that Oregano is a very strong and powerful oil both in attributes and in flavour, so we recommend that you use a toothpick swirl to start with and add more swirls if needed. All the family will love this nutritious meal!
