It’s that favorite time of the year—spring! We all
have spring fever and the weather is starting to
encourage us to venture outside, soon we will be
seeing lovely bright red faces, arms, and legs—it’s
sunburn season! How do you prevent sunburn? For
years the doctors have been telling us to put on
plenty of sunscreen, now they’re starting to tell us
that that’s not good, just avoid the sun—but we NEED
to be in the sun, that’s how we absorb the vitally
important Vitamin D (a major cancer preventer). But,
it’s still not good to get sunburned…so this week’s
favorite essential oils (and products) are for dealing
with sunburn.

First, are you taking your daily dose of FrequenSea?
I was very skeptical when I read that this could help
prevent you from burning, but with my blonde hair and
light complexion I was the perfect test subject. I
can burn in 30 seconds or less outside. Not anymore!
Last summer I spent tons of time outside and only got
a mild sunburn once (don’t stand on the blacktop at
2:00 pm in July for an hour talking to your brother).
You can also use Balance instead of sunscreen. Okay,
so there are your preventatives, of course, you do
need to use common sense—increase your sun exposure
slowly, just as you always would, and avoid being out
too long during the peak UV times of the day. The
following can be preventatives or deal with the too
late, you’re burned.

Lavender essential oil, of course, for burns. Even
people who know nothing about essential oils know that
you put Lavender on a burn (of any kind). If you’re
preventing, dilute it in Message or Balance and then
apply to the skin, if you’re already burned (depending
upon how severe) you may want to put it on straight.
The other biggie is TLC Blend; it is marvelous for
skin owies, from burns to rashes. Again, you may want
to dilute for preventing, dilute to put on over large
areas, or if you have a serious burn put it on
straight.

Now, I mentioned Message and Balance as diluters.
This is important when dealing with sunburns. These
are both big-time skin feeders. Message is the
ForeverYoung Carrier oil; it is made from sunflower
and grape seed oils (and is, of course, 100% pure,
wild-crafted or organic, EOBBD guaranteed). It is a
totally amazing skin moisturizer. Balance is a pH
balancing gel. It is listed as a multipurpose gel and
that is exactly what it is. Use it as a carrier for
your essential oils, as a skin care product, as
sunscreen. Mom actually uses it like mousse on her
hair because it gives it just a touch of hold; I like
to use it on wounds because it helps keep the skin
supple while it heals. I know some people who use it
for diaper rash, others as a skin toner after they’re
done washing their face. It is just a marvelous
multipurpose gel.

Here’s your newsletter only coupon code: FQS—use it to

One last little note, Holiday blend essential oil and
bath salt are no longer available (until next winter),
we have now entered Spring and the Blossom essential
oil blend and bath salt is now available. Holiday is
my favorite, but a close second is the Blossom. Mmmm,
mmmm, it smells like you are in an orchard filled with
citrus blossoms—it is divine!

Join us tonight to hear another Boot Camp preview . .
. “Auricular Therapy, Auricular Probes & Essential
Oils”. (Auricular = of or near the ear, or having to
do with the sense of hearing.)

Finally, here’s a Lavender sunburn testimonial:
I have another great Lavender story, a story that got
grandma out of the doghouse!
I had my 2 little grandkids this weekend from Arizona.
We had a new really fun waterslide toy in our back
yard and of course they were excited to try it out.
Not being used to having little ones around I forgot
about sunscreen, where was my head? Anyway after
about 3 hours of playing in the 95 degree heat and in
and out of the water I realized what I had done. My
grandson looked like a tomato, holy cow it was bad.
I coated him with Quench about 3 times, he said it
helped a little, but it dawned on me Lavender is for
burns, so I ran and grabbed it and poured it all over
his back, shoulders, and arms. That was Saturday late
afternoon.
That evening when it was time for bed I asked him to
let me look at his back and asked him how he felt, and
his reply was, "I feel fine Grandma, it doesn't even
feel like I was even burned!" I was amazed to say the
least.
Sunday I put one more coat on him and by Monday
morning when he was leaving he had a nice tan! Wow,
Lavender saved him and Grandma!
Thanks Dana for these wonderful oils! --Terry D.
NOTE to all who are looking for a good sunscreen –
Balance Gel is phenomenal!!! Get it and keep it on
hand for times like these . . .

One last thing! We are going to make the Favorite Oil

so it will be there as a reference for you.
