Raven™  is my most favorite blend for the cold and flu season. It is a blend for respiratory symptoms. My kiddos love when I diffuse this for them when they are sick.

Raven™

Ravensara – Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, helps dilate, open, and strengthen respiratory system.

Eucalyptus Radiata – Strong anti-viral effect on respiratory system. Reduces inflammation of nasal mucous membrane.

Peppermint – Anti-septic, anti-spasmodic, and anti-inflammatory. Soothing, cooling and dilating.

Wintergreen – Beneficial for inflammation. Contains 99% methyl salicylate which gives cortisone-like properties.

Lemon- Anti-septic. Promotes health, healing, physical energy, purification.

Apply topically to lungs and throat. If skin burns upon application, apply organic, minimally processed vegetable oil to the skin, to dilute. Apply to cotton ball and place on pillow at night. Diffuse.

On this day of your life,

Dear Friend I believe God wants you to know…

…that love is the center and the core of everything,

and that Self is the place where all love must begin.

Those who love others grandly are those who love

themselves grandly. Those who have a high toleration

and acceptance of others are those who have a high

toleration and acceptance of themselves.

You cannot show another a part of you that you

cannot show yourself. Therefore, begin where all

growth, where all evolution, where all love must begin:

with the person in the mirror.

Will you not love yourself grandly today?

For the world’s sake?

My mother-in-law introduced me to the world of Essential Oils about 17 years ago. I fell in love with the oils. I have since acquired my Integrative Aromatherapy Certification because I believe in the healing powers of them. I want to introduce my families most favorite blend of essential oils.

I get asked about this recipe all the time. So I thought I would share it on here! This is a slow cooker recipe so be prepared to start it early.

2 lbs organic chicken breast

Organic dry ranch dressing packet

Butter

8 oz. organic cream cheese

14 oz. cream of chicken soup (I use Pacific)

1 cup water

2 cups cooked organic rice

Oil the slow cooker. Place chicken in slow cooker and put dabs of butter on chicken. Then sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix on top of the chicken and butter. Cover and cook for six hours on low. 30 minutes before serving, mix together cream cheese, cream of chicken soup and water with a mixer. Poor into slow cooker over the chicken and stir while keeping temp on low. Prepare rice from directions on the package. Once rice is done, spoon chicken over rice. Serve with any type of vegetable side.

Enjoy!
