Yes! a Bath Salts event in a Tepee! what fun!

On Friday the 12 July I hosted a Bath Salts Session in the tepee based in Chiswick Business Park - where the Young Living European Headquarters have their offices. We were expecting a few people, probably about 10, but oh my goodness! it tuned into a drop in session and we ended up with over 20 - in a tiny tepee!

Susanna Buss - head of Education at YL Chiswick - opened the proceedings by informing everyone that it was the 25th Anniversary of YL and explained about the quality of our oils. The day before, 11 July, was International Essential Oils Day - so that's what we were celebrating, just a day late!

I started off with some general information about salts, in that Epsom Salts were one of the best to use for bath salts, but to get the maximum benefit from Epsom salts, you had to remain in the tub for at least 20 minutes - and for even more benefit a further 20 minutes. Apparently, the first 20 minutes the body is detoxing and the second 20 minutes the body is absorbing some of the minerals, in particular magnesium from the Epsom Salts. Technically, Epsom Salts are not a salt at all but Magnesium Sulfate.

Our first objective was to make a bath salt blend to nourish body mind and spirit after a long hard day at the office, school or just whenever you need to totally relax and unwind.

The Rule of Thumb about quantities - only use a maximum of 5 drops of essential oil per bath .

Method : In a 4 oz jar, add 3 oz of Epsom Salts, or fine pink Himalayan salts or any fine salts of good quality. To that add 1 oz of vegetable oil - either V6 or coconut, or apricot kernel, something nice. Then add your blend of essential oils. There are so many blends you could choose - for the workshop I chose:

5 Drops of Lavender and

5 Drops of Cedarwood

If there were more time to explain more about the essential oils I would have chosen this luxurious blend (doubling the amount of salts - 20 drops of essential oils are enough for 4 baths at 5 drops per bath).

4 drops of Cedarwood

3 drops of Roman Chamomile

7 drops of Lavender

6 drops of Patchouli

The second formulation I gave the participants was a Morning blend to give you some get up and go on a Monday morning!

5 drops of Cedarwood again -good for grounding both mornings and evenings

5 drops of Orange - for uplifting and calming - (yes some essential oils can uplift and calm)

Here the students have filled their jars with the Epsom Salts and are now stirring in their 1 oz of vegetable oil. As water and oil don't mix, it is a good idea to add some vegetable oil as it gives the essential oils something to blend into, otherwise they would just float on top of the water, and this could cause some skin irritation to sensitive skins.

The picture below right shows me explaining about the blend with Susanna Buss looking on.

The next 'Make & Take' to be held at Young Living, Chiswick will be on Friday 13 September, 2019 - 5.30pm - 8.30pm - Workshop No. 1 in the 'Make & Take' Series

I help bereaved people move forward in their journey - Get My Guide

Suzie Webb - Wellness

Welcome to Suzie Webb Wellness.

Hi, I'm Suzie Webb and I've been in the holistic and well being industry for over 36 years - I'm 70 years young! I love learning - I have an unquenchable thirst for learning, and I also love reading, drinking tea, cats, walking, making my own products, and going to the cinema - you can't beat the big screen.

At the end of this story you can read how I started my FAB community - Freedom after Bereavement.

For years I struggled with my weight, my skin and joint pain (from running half marathons!).

I remember feeling embarrassed throughout much of my professional career as a nutrition consultant and clinical aromatherapist at being overweight with poor skin - I felt a fraud! Especially if I was hobbling on and off a stage because of aching knees! I looked and felt 70 when I was only 40!

All those years learning how the body worked and eating a balanced diet and learning the importance of hydration, exercise and relaxation - my weight would not go down and my skin would not improve and my joints still ached - I tried every new diet that came out and every new cream on the market but none worked for me. Or if they did it was short term: I'd lose the weight but it would return, my skin improved but only for a while. I was reluctant to take pharmaceuticals for my aches and pains connecting to my running but couldn't find a natural solution that worked for me.

I wasn't happy with how I looked and dreaded the public speaking appearances which was part of my job so I went into writing and had books published on diet and nutrition and make-up instead - working from home where no one could see me!

One day a friend introduced me to a totally new lifestyle concept I'd never considered before. I was sceptical at first as but I trusted my friend and said I would give it a go. My new lifestyle made me feel amazing. I thought it was coincidence at first - but I had more focus on my work, more energy, my skin was the best it had been for years, my weight stabilised and I was pain free. I was over the moon and brimming with confidence! At last! That was 14 years ago when I was 57. I'm 71 now and the best shape I've ever been.

So now I’m on a mission to empower women – with the knowledge I’ve worked so hard to get myself.

I am not the only person to have lost someone we loved. I was angry when my dad died. Not angry because he'd passed, but angry at people telling me how I should be feeling and telling where I should be on the 7 stages of grieving and telling me it was time to 'move on'. I was angry again when my nephew died in his twenties in a road traffic accident for the same reasons. I was less 'angry' when my husband died as my work involves emotional release, but my intense grief was indescribable.

Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life's biggest challenges. My husband Guy died in December 2018 - we had only been married 12 weeks. Most of the support groups I joined didn't lift me or fulfil my needs. But I found something that really helped me and because of that I started my own group which is called FAB - Freedom after Bereavement. The group is over on my Facebook page - here is the link - and I run regular sessions - both privately and group - using essential oils. Using this technique gave me the strength not to 'move on' but to 'move forward' - with all those I loved still at my side supporting me.

Come and join me and learn how you can take back control of your health with the knowledge and information I share in my exclusive communities.
