Clove Essential Oil

  • Use Clove Oil in a diffuser or add drops to water in a spray bottle.  The aroma has been found to reduce drowsiness, depression, irritability and headaches.  It has also been reported to assist memory recall and to improve circulation. 
  • Apply undiluted Clove Oil on small areas with fungus.  It can be used for many fungal conditions, including athlete's foot, nail and skin fungus, and ringworm.
  • To treat fungus in larger or more sensitive areas, add a few drops of Clove Oil to a carrier oil such as Almond Oil and apply to the affected area.  Never apply undiluted to broken skin.
  • For tooth pain, put 1-2 drops of Clove Oil on a cotton swab and apply to the tooth and the surrounding gum. 
  • Place one drop of Clove Oil on the roof of the mouth to help relieve a headache.
  • Dip a cotton ball in Clove Oil and place it in your linen closet to act as an insect repellent.  You can add another citrus oil to it to change the scent as well.

Aloe Vera

http://smithfamilyresources.com/products/aloevera
Care for yourself inside and out with Aloe Vera.

Beeyoutiful's softgels are freeze-dried, concentrated, and then reconstituted to preserve just the right strength for daily use.

The primary internal benefit is the way aloe soothes and helps reduce irritation in digestive tracts -- from irritable bowel syndrome to colitis to constipation -- making food and other supplements more bio-available to your body.

The external advantages?  Simply break open one of these convenient aloe vera gel caps and spread it on minor burns and sunburns.  Apply to Athlete's foot, acne, warts, and cracked, dry skin.  Apply to poison ivy, blisters and any other skin or scalp irritation to help reduce the risk of infection and scarring.  Aloe Vera Softgels are effective because they stimulate the production of collagen, the substance essential for restoring skin cells.  That means aloe even helps smooth out wrinkles!
