It's been a really hectic month, but I finally feel like I am getting caught up on all of the things that have been pushed to the back burner this summer. On the last day of our vacation, Mariah came down with a nasty head cold and ended up sleeping away the remainder of our trip. Don't you know, as soon as we all got home, the rest of the family slowly started getting sick too. It was a long few weeks of dealing with illness! If you've been here a while, you know that I always look for natural healing relief methods before jumping onto pharmaceutical healing. For the past few years I have been obsessed with using essential oils for our overall health and well being. At first, Jason scoffed and thought I was jumping into some kind of hippy trend, but once he experienced the healing power of some of my oils, he can't stop singing their praises now, too. 

For the most part, I have stuck with the mainstream oils: peppermint, lavender, eucalyptus, and tea tree, so when I heard about essential oil blends, I was intrigued and wanted to see how well they worked. I partnered with GuruNanda recently to sample 4 of their 100% natural essential oil blends: SLIM, CALMING SLEEP, BREATHE EASY, and THRIVE.

Calming Sleep delivers a blend of lavender, marjoram, and chamomile to help clear the mind and accelerate sleep. 

Thrive combats fatigue, energizes, purifies, and boosts immunity with a blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary.

Slim supports a healthy metabolism, boosts energy, manages cravings, improves circulation and helps remove toxins with a blend of black pepper, grapefruit, cinnamon, lemon, peppermint and ginger. 

Breathe Easy is a natural remedy for nasal congestion and better overall respiratory health.  It has a blend of eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, basil and rosemary essential oils.

I do usually mix a drop or two of my essential oils into a carrier oil and put it directly on my skin, but GuruNanda oil blends are made to stimulate the senses by breathing the scents in, so they work best when used with an ultrasonic essential oil diffuser. 

I've been using this super adorable GuruNanda Honeycomb Essential Oil Diffuser with the essential oil blends this past month. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing with it's soft glow color changing lights, it's really simple to set up and use.

Simply pop the top off, fill with 100ml of water, add a drop or two of your preferred GuruNanda essential oil blend, put the top back on, plug it in, then sit back and just breathe in all of the goodness these oils have to offer. 

I was really impressed that once I filled the tank with water and oil then hit the power button, it immediately started diffusing the oil into the air. I didn't have to sit and wait for the unit to warm up. The steam coming from the diffuser was instantaneous.

While we were suffering from that nasty vacation bug, I was switching between BREATHE EASY and CALMING SLEEP to help us find much needed relief from the head cold and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the oil blends did an amazing job at delivering the relief that we so longed for. Since ridding ourselves of the bug, I have been frequently using THRIVE. As some of you know, my autoimmune disorder leaves me feeling weak and fatigued as well as knocks out my immune system, so I love the feeling of having more energy when I breathe in the THRIVE blend. 

These four GuruNanda specialty aromatherapy blends are able to address specific health and wellness concerns by using a blend of 100% pure and natural plant essences grown and distilled on the world's most reputable farms. These are not synthetic "knock offs", they are the real deal. And, at $7.99 each, they are quite affordable. You can find them in the pharmacy section of Walmart or on the GuruNanda website.
