Natural Relief for Poison Ivy
|
Happy Monday my Aromatic Friend! I hope you had a great weekend...and maybe began to play in your garden? Saturday I began to clear the yard, getting ready for my distillation garden — such a joy to get my hands in the dirt again! But while clearing a patch near the fence line, I ran across something less joyful… poison ivy. 😬 That encounter reminded me that I've got some terrific remedies if you’re sensitive to the oils in this vexatious plant - like I am! 👉Here are two fast-acting, short-term methods to temporarily soothe the maddening itch: ✅ Mix 3 drops of Peppermint essential oil (Mentha × piperita) essential oil into 1 ounce (30 mL) of a light, fragrance-free lotion and gently apply to the affected area for immediate relief of the maddening itch. 👉Then, stop everything you're doing and make this DIY Natural Calamine Lotion. It's amazing! 🌿 I’ve created both a blog post and podcast episode on this topic: 📖 Read the blog post here (there's also a link to the podcast episode): 🎧 Prefer to listen?

P.S. Do you have a a favorite essential oil remedy for poison ivy? I would love to hear what works for you—just hit reply and share your story! Liz Fulcher, Founder |

Hi Aromatic Friends! I hope this email finds you deep in the midst of a happy holiday season 🌟 I'm writing this email as I sit in front of a fireplace in a cabin in that woods that sits along the Spruce Creek. This is where James and I are spending Christmas with our adult kids and our grandson, Nico. Making mountain pies in the fireplace! Naturally, I packed my essential oil diffuser along with a few favorites—Petitgrain, Clove, and Frankincense—to help us stay relaxed and feeling our best....
Hello My Aromatic Friend! I hope you're having a great weekend and if you're in the US, have been enjoying lots of beautiful fireworks! We are dog-sitting Winnie, our granddog this weekend and we love it! Our cats, on the other hand, are so not happy LOL. I believe that synchronicity is never to be ignored because it's a sign from the Universe to pay attention. It is often guidance on what to do next. Last week I experienced some unexpected synchronicity. I had TWO people ask me in the space...
