Welcome to my blog!!! I have been an herbalist & an aromatherapist for over 20 years!! My blog is over 10 years old & there are over 100 informative blogs here. Not only do I have hopes of teaching the masses, I too, have learned a lot during my research on different topics! There's always new & updated information in the herbal & essential oil worlds. There are blogs on herbs, essential oils, nutrition, supplements, different modalities of healing and just a little bit of everything!! Maybe in reading my blogs, just one person will come away with a bit of knowledge that they might be able to help themselves or another human being, I would consider that to be a great blessing.....

Over the years I have had several businesses. It seems I can't get away from seeing if a certain herb or essential oil can help a fellow human and that's usually how it starts. I am now in Arizona and I was asked again if I would be interested in starting another herbal business!! We now have Herbs 4 Health!! Providing numerous herbs....herbal blends....single essential oils...essential oil blends....minerals....tinctures all to help the body to heal itself.

The information in these blogs is not meant in any way shape or form to plagiarize, for I have never said this is all MY work. It is a compilation of reputable informative websites, my 'go to' books I have always depended upon & my own knowledge. I gather & put together information to help people learn & this way they can come back here to help remind themselves of said information instead of 'where oh where did I find that on the world wide web'. Seems to me it's just better & easier.

Peppermint...wow!!




We all know the lovely & inviting scent of peppermint essential oil, but were you aware it is just about the most versatile & used essential oils in the world right alongside lavender?! The health benefits have been documented back to 1,000 BC & the oil itself has actually been found in several Egyptian pyramids!

Peppermint essential oil can reduce tummy aches, digestive issues & freshen bad breath, relieve tension headaches including migraines. It has antiseptic, anti-microbial properties, improves mental focus & boosts energy. It is an effective pain killer & muscle relaxer & can help relieve pain associated with fibromyalgia. It acts as an expectorant & can provide relief for respiratory issues, including sinus, allergies, asthma, bronchitis & more. Inhaling peppermint can even help stave off the munchies & help you feel fuller faster. It's a natural energizer & so it helps with chronic fatigue syndrome, improves mental focus & concentration & is an all-natural bug repellant too!

With over 300 scientific studies referring to the benefits of this essential oil, the latest research is air tight. It is truly one essential oil that should be in your first-aid kit. make sure you dilute it in a good carrier oil before applying. If you take it internally...1 drop per 8 oz. water. Be aware when taking it alongside iron supplements & quercetin be sure to wait 3 hrs between taking the two. Be very cautious if you are taking the enteric-coated capsules -- they could dissolve rapidly leading to nausea & heartburn.

It's a vital ingredient in our Nerve/Pain Oil!!
