Winter is a wonderful time to cook and experiment with new recipes. It is -8 F outside and I was feeling a little dry in my skin and hair, so decided to make it spa day and wanted to share these simple recipes that you can easily make at home. The wonderful thing about ‘natural’ skin care that I learned early on, is that we can use very simple ingredients such as almonds, vinegar and honey and voila you have a face mask!
The benefits of self-massage are many. We do not always have the luxury of having someone to give us a massage and yet it is so good for us, so why not do it ourselves! Aromatherapy self-massage is truly about promoting health. This idea of nurturing our bodies with herbs and healing touch to help support our body/mind cope with all of the modern day stressors is key to staying vibrant and healthy.

Yoga and self-massage provide excellent practice in slowing down, we become aware of and reconnect with our bodies; through this awareness we are often reminded of an old injury, such as a stiff neck or places we hold tension. It would seem obvious that as one makes contact with the vessel that bears these burdens, anything that enhances this healing is most certainly warranted. Arnica action oil brings additional benefit to people who practice yoga by bringing them closer to their core being. Yoga means union, union of movement and breath, union of mind and body, union of muscle and bone, union of thought and action and with arnica action oil it can bring union of plants and humans.
