The earth is a
living planet and is an amazing source of gifts that we have been given to use
for a healthy, wholesome life (this is our right), and we in turn need to be
grateful, considerate and nurturing of this wonderful, living planet that has
been entrusted to our care (and this is our responsibility !!!). If we want the
Earth to continue in providing us with the things we need to be healthy and
happy, we must in turn take care of
her and strive to educate ourselves in this area. I would hope that all
people would become aware of natural alternatives available to us and given to
us by our Creator, and to be aware that health is not just a physical
condition, but also a state of mind and spirit, and to be aware that the state
of our health is linked to our earth and its environment, and that these are
inseparable in order to have a healthy, happy and wholesome life and planet. The
well being of ourselves and our Earth are inextricably tied to one another,
they reflect one another, and we must not forget this, for our future depends
upon it. - Jody L. Boda~Newell
Living Essence Naturals TM
We offer fine handmade aromatherapy and herbal products to enhance living. All money goes into funds for supplies to make these products. All help is on a volunteer basis from the members of Living Earth Herbalist Society and all products were created by our aromatherapist and herbalist. We place emphasis on personal care for people and care for the Earth. It was helping people that got this whole thing started. ALL products are handmade from natural products and are made upon receiving your order to ensure freshness. The soaps are the only products made ahead of time due to the fact that they must cure. The oils used in all skin products are vegetable types and cold pressed. The soaps are hand made from olive & coconut oils, using the cold batch method. They have an abundance of herb and essential oils added. This castile soap is most gentle and can be used by most sensitve skin types. It does not strip your skin nor does it leave a residue. Most these products are aromatherapy grade.
This leads to the question ,"what is aromatherapy grade, in fact, just what is aromatherapy ?" Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of aromatic essential oils distilled from plants. It is NOT the art of how all smells stimulate us as much as it is a type of herbal medicine; a natural alternative to the synthetically made medicines that help our symptoms vanish but not always cure the heart of the problem, and all too often have undesirable side effects after long term use. This in no way implies that you should run and dump all your prescriptions down the drain and start using aromatherapy products instead. If your physician has prescribed medicine, you most likely need to take it! Aromatherapy products can be safely used as an enhancement to what your physician has prescribed as well as a preventative aid to keep you from having to visit your doctor, or for use when you feel you don't require a doctors care and can treat yourself with over the counter medicines. I and my family & friends have used aromatherapy for healing with great success. We do spend much time researching and running trials on these products.
Essential Oils
If an essential oil is aromatherapy grade, this means it is pure
high grade essential oil distilled
from the plant - it is not a perfume oil - and its purpose isn't just to smell
good, but to heal. An aromatherapist is a person who studies these essential oils and their properties in order to gain and maintain health. A
good aromatherapist will know the plants these essential oils came from, the
chemistry of these oils, their safe and effective uses on the body and mind, as
well as being familiar with the human body's anatomy and ailments. If a
physician is willing to work with an aromatherapist, the results could be
extremely beneficial to their client. We have a trained aromatherapist and
several herbalists who may be of assistance.
All products are made up fresh upon arrival of your order except
for the soaps, which must cure. The soaps all come in
a cloth drawstring pouch except for the guest sizes. Sometimes a large demand
for a particular soap can deplete the stock faster than it can be made. Soap
has a curing period of anywhere from two to four weeks, depending on it's
content and the atmospheric conditions (soap chemistry can be an unpredictable
Lady at times). Although this problem doesn't occur too often, it does happen
at times, especially during holidays, so if you have a dead-line that you need
something by, do keep this in mind and let me know in plenty of time !!! It may
be as simple as choosing a different size bar of soap or a liquid soap. Also,
if you want something made with a personal choice of herbs, essential oils or
fragrance oils, and you don't see it listed, just ask.
If you are having a particular problem and need to ask what products would best help you, e-mail for assistance livingearth@bellsouth.net. Custom blends are important and we are always happy to do this for folks.
