Story of Oils begins
in the garden!
God intended we live freely to
enjoy the gentle scents of
essential oils. Nothing can
replace a relationship with
nature, but essential oils can
help bridge the gap. They are
a distillation of the life force
and healing energy of plants.
Whether we know it or not,
molecules of essential oils are
in the air. Spiritually and
emotionally uplifting and
healing. It appears, God was
the first aroma therapist! Alexis & Patches in the Mountain Meadow
What are Essential Oils?
• Essential Oils are highly concentrated, chemically complex, volatile, aromatic oils produced by various parts of some plants.
• One drop contains appx. 40 million, trillion molecules. 4 with 19 zeros after it.
• We have 100 trillion cells in our bodies.
• One drop of E.O. has enough molecules to cover every cell in our bodies with 40,000 molecules.
• Tiny molecular size gives them advantage to readily LEAP into air; entering our noses & be detected as odor. Scent receptors transmit impulses - affecting a positive change!
Energetic & Delightful Gifts
• Oils are working in plants before they ever
begin working in us! Volatile- ready to react
• Protection-defensive action
• Communication-warning signal
• Preservation of resources
• Attraction - aroma to needed insect
• Wound healing-in response to injury
• Immune response- chemical compounds

Healing Properties
• Because plants were created
for us. (Genesis 1:11-12, 28)
• Their oils can serve and support us in the
same way they do in plants!
• Balance & support, immune boosters,
antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal
• Bug repellants, antioxidants, hormonal
balancers

Comment from Jeanne Rose
• Noted author Jeanne Rose - March 2010:
• “Any hydrosol that is fresh and clean can be sprayed on an injury to both clean it and to reduce pain. When you fall, you might strain muscles but you may also scrape the skin. In particular, for sports scrapes, thorns, small cuts; the best hydrosols are the ones that you have with you but, Lavender, Tea Tree & Owyhee are good! “

How I Use Culinary Lavender
• Simply – in Salt, Sugar or a Rub
• What herb can you take and use in anything?
• Lavender is an incredibly versatile herb for cooking. I use it in most everything!
• Use in savory and baked goods, drinks & more.
• Fresh edible flowers are an enhancement to both the flavor and appearance of food. Wild or cultivated!
• Adding too much lavender to my recipe is like eating perfume & made my dish bitter. Because of the strong flavor of lavender, the secret is that a little goes a long way.
Why use Local N Fresh?
• Good food needs little culinary doctoring! *
• Energy– fresh herbs measure 20-27 MHz,
dry herbs -12-22 MHz; fresh produce 5-10 MHz
processed or canned food - ZERO. No life in
them but they do contain chemical nutrition
• Lavender E.O. -118 MHz, Rose is the highest @
52-320 MHz. Juniper @ 98 MHz and
peppermint @ 78 MHz.
• Human body – 62-68 MHz, cold and flu –57 MHz
*Joel Salatin
Local, Fresh & Healthy
• Plants go through
same climatic
changes as our
bodies
• Provide necessary
Vitamins &
nutrients that are
assimilated well.
Culinary Lavender can be as sweet
as a new born baby
Lavender contains linalyl acetate, linalol, geraniol,
cineole, limonene and sesquiterpenes.
It contains no fat and very few calories.
How To Use in Tea:
Lavender can be ingested any time of day.
Fill a mug with one teaspoonful of dried
lavender and pour over it 1 cup of steaming
hot water. You can strain the tea after the
mixture steeps for 10 minutes.
When ingested, lavender is an effective herb used to
treat headaches, depression, exhaustion, insomnia
and the aches and pains of rheumatism,
according to "Holistic Herbal: A Safe and Practical
Guide to Making and Using Herbal Remedies. Emma Marie 9/14/12
Grass fed beef is higher in:
• Vitamin E
• Beneficial omega-3 fats
• Conjugated linoleic acids or CLA (strong antioxidant) – Both reduce the risk of heart
disease.
Cows benefit from rich grass diet, too. Omega 3’s are formed in the grass & they are passed onto us when we eat the beef.
Besides, grass-fed beef tastes better. I know because I eat it. Cowboy Cam & Grandpa Bob
