Organic: The Benefits of Eucalyptus Oil

By -

Hello, Naturals!
This post is for my Naturalistas! My post today was inspired by a hand soap. Yes, hand soap. Upon washing my hands at my Aunt’s house, I noticed that she had purchased a new hand soap and what I thought would be a normal mundane experience turned into a jaw-dropping experience that I must tell the world. I soon came to understand why this hand soap was coined “SHELL YEAH.” The aroma of the soap woke me up, revitalized me, invigorated my senses, and left my hands feeling super soft. What it this?? Eucalyptus Mint. At this point, I had only heard of Eucalyptus from a mention of it in Propaganda’s Bear with Me. I had to look this up. There was something special about this stuff and I wanted to know what it was. Most of my DIY and Home remedies are about things that you can find around your home to improve the overall health of your body, hair, skin, and nails. Eucalyptus oil may not be something that you might find lying around your house, however, my research has shown that it might be something worth looking into. Like always, I’ve tested it on myself before introducing it to you! I give this oil my Natural-Minded Stamp of Approval.
Native to Australia, Eucalyptus is a fast-growing evergreen tree that when pressed into oil can produce outstanding medicinal properties for the body. Eucalyptus oil can be used as an Anti-inflammatory, Antispasmodic, Decongestant, Deodorant, Deodorant, Disinfectant, Antiseptic, Antibacterial, Insecticidal, and Stimulant and reduces symptoms from muscle and joint pain to the common cold.




Here are 30 reasons why you may want to add Eucalyptus oil to your medicine cabinet:

Word of Caution:

Eucalyptus oil is a great alternative to common medicinal treatments; however, consult with your doctor about what treatments will work best for you. When using Essential oils you must make sure that it is of “Therapeutic Grade,” meaning they are free of toxins, chemicals, and are unfiltered and undiluted. Eucalyptus oil is highly allergenic and must be diluted properly when used. It is not safe to ingest Eucalyptus oil as it can be poisonous. It is important to do an allergy test before using eucalyptus because it is highly allergenic. An allergy test can be done by adding the eucalyptus oil in the carrier oil, usually olive or coconut oil, and putting a drop on the arm. If there is no reaction in 24 hours, it is safe to use. Negative side effects may include Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach trouble, air contact dermatitis, etc. If symptoms persist, See a doctor. Also, beware of genetically modified ingredients and choose Non-GMO essential oils.

From God's Heart to Yours

Hello Naturals, 2020 has been such a roller coaster. No one would have predicted that these turn of events would have occurred, between The Outbreak and spread of COVID-19, quarantine, curfews, illicit police brutality, and social unrest. I believe now is the time for me to share a word that God instructed me to preach at a local bible study. My prayers are with you all...now more than ever. I would like to start by asking a question, now this question is not attached nor entangled in any theology or doctrine...just a question and I ask that we dig deep and answer honestly. How have you been humbled during Quarantine? And I follow,  How have you been stretched?  In what areas? How have you been spending your time? Have you used it to draw near to the Lord? Once again, these questions are not attached to any theology nor is this article a proud declaration stating that by allowing a pandemic “ God is trying to tell us something...

Hey Naturals, I temporarily paused my last post because I felt as though the timing was off and did not want to come off as insensitive. After speaking with my family and to the Lord, I was able to see that the recent chain of events has made the piece even more relevant to the body of Christ. I wanted to pen a letter in response to the chaos around us and why I have been silent. My reaction to it all--shocked myself.  After the footage of George Floyd's murder flooded social media, I felt like I did not have the mental, emotional, spiritual, nor psychological strength to deal with it. Not another hashtag. Not another life lost. Not another cry for justice and another confirmation that my life and the lives of those who look like me does not matter. I couldn't take another disappointment in fighting a system that either ignores us completely or presents reinventions of itself as change. So to maintain sanity, I unplugged. I unplugged from the world, all news...

Yes, And...

  Yes, And… Hello All,  Confession: For those who know, I used to be a blogger/vlogger and writer some years back. I fell off and God has been poking and prodding me to get back to it. I have been walking in disobedience and half-obedience, which we know, half-obedience is still disobedience. So, in confession, I am confessing and moving forward. I have decided to re-dedicate myself unto the Lord and have agreed to walk in full confidence, obedience, and submission unto Him!  Hello, old friends who have been walking with me since then.  Hello, new friends who have joined me since then. I welcome everyone who will continue to walk with me through this journey.  One thing that I’ve learned, a lot, throughout this process is surrender. Although I may have walked away from content creation, I can proudly say that I have never walked away from the Lord. I have continued to study and spend time with the Lord and have jotted down all of my notes and findings, per usual...
