My grandson had a Pyogenic granuloma on
his finger. It was growing and they had two surgical
consults. The helichrysum that was sent to her in PR was
used for this as a last result. It has completely healed!
(She went on to say some
lovely things about our oils, as well.) For those who
didn't know (and I didn't!) what a Pyogenic granuloma is
there are several excellent medical pages describing them.
This is a good example. Once I read about the
condition I was just so grateful that we were able to keep
the little boy from having to go through a painful
treatment!
Fog Cutter - appetite suppressant:
I was looking for the Valentine Newsletter from 10 years
ago, and found this comment from Cynthia Green. The formula
hasn't changed, so the comments would still be valid.
Dear Marge,
Just thought I'd
drop you a note to tell you how much I enjoy your
Fog Cutter. Besides using it in the car to keep me
alert while driving, I've found that it tends to
curb my food cravings. I often have difficulty
getting all the way to work in the morning without
stopping for a bacon, egg, and cheese bisquit (one
of my ultimate comfort foods). This is especially
difficult to resist when I know the day is going to
be stressful. The scent of your Fog Cutter synergy
filling the car seems to dampen any desire to eat.
Now, not only am I a more alert driver, but a
healthier one as well.
Thanks,

Here in Iowa we have had a nasty upper

horrible coughs that hang on for weeks.
Once again I am sending the cajeput/sweet
basil in jojoba to work with my
daughter. The girls in the office swear
it works better than any prescription.
Most of the girls have their own
bottles, but there is also one that
stays at the office so they can make
sniffers as needed. Not wishing sinus
infection on any of you, but if you
should need something to immediately
open your sinuses give it a try.
Skin Toner:
I am going to break my own rule and quote a client
(anonymously) without her permission, because the email
address she
used to place her order and make her comments doesn't exist.
My reply and request to quote bounced with a "fatal error."
A shame, I wanted to make some suggestions to her. At
any rate, she suggested a formula that I want to try:
Thank You for the samples in my
previous order, it was a help.
I had purchased Aloe Vera Gel and
mixed in water, with Calendula oil, and a few drops
of Myrtle oil. The spray was soothing, the aroma
wonderful! and feel was velvety soft!
I'm 50 yrs. old with acne scarred
face from early adult years, large pores and my face
was very badly sunburned this past summer. I've
been trying many things to help improve my skin.
Essential oils along with a different cleansing
routine that includes a white sugar & yogurt mixture
has helped. I've only been using Rose Hip oil for a
week...the first product to show improvement in such
a short period of time, especially the photo-aging
damage from the sunburn.
I'm going to give the Argan Oil a
try mixed with Rose Hip & an Essential Oil to see if
it helps. Thank You!
And we hope it will! Now, we mix Jojoba Oil and
Aloe Gel in our Sunburn Soother (after first dissolving the
essential oils in the Jojoba.) but I've never thought
of blending Aloe, Calendula oil and water (or a hydrosol???
ah yes!!!) for a facial spray. Thought this sounded
too nice not to share. And, I'm thinking, you could
substitute other oils for the Calendula infused, depending
on your skin type. And choose an appropriate or
complimentary hydrosol. One reminder, this would have
to be shaken well before each use, since the aloe and oil
will separate.
The Nicest Thank You Note:
Sometimes we get comments that just warm our hearts. A
few days ago, Jane Pinder, who has been a client for about
five years now, wrote out of the blue:
I just want to extend
my appreciation for the service you provide at
naturesgift. The quality of your products are
amazing and you're most generous with the free
samples. I'll definitely be getting the lemon
verbena when it becomes available. The sandalwood
is divine, by the way. Good quality essential oils
have such a powerful transformative effect on one's
mood and spirit. Getting a box from naturesgift is
like Christmas!
Jane
I was SO glad I could email back and tell her we HAVE
some Lemon Verbena!!! Comments and feedback like
that make it feel like Christmas here!
LEAP YEAR SALE
February 29th comes but once every four years. So
of course we have to celebrate. (Remembering that as I wrote
this newsletter four years ago I was celebrating the birth
of my newest Grandson, Leif.)
On February 29th, Leap Year Day we will have a very
special Sale event. A special Promotional Code.. The
value of the code will vary. Most of the night and day,
it will be worth 10%. ONE very lucky customer will
receive a 29% discount for the 29th of the month. There
will be times that it will range anywhere between those
two numbers. Enter the promotional code "leap year"
without the quotation marks, in the box marked "promo
code" at check out, and press apply. If the discount is
not reflected on your screen do NOT submit the order; we
can not apply it retroactively. Have fun! As always,
discount codes will not apply to a few select items...
our "rare and special books", our essential oil kits,
bulk products and fast buys may never be discounted.
Free shipping may not apply to any order using a
discount code. (That would be a double discount, and we
can't do that.)
BLOG UPDATE:
(We haven't had a lot of time to write this month!)
