January Herb Stop

 So I didn't actually get this box until February because of the move, and of course I need time to use the oils and find where I like them best. But Herb stop really knows how to keep me calm, cool and collected with their fine oils!

So first I will introduce the oils individually and then let you in on a great oil pulling mix and a lotion mix!

Eucalyptus Radiata- also known as the narrow leaf eucalyptus has been used for various issues, such as respiratory issues, sinus problems and skin problems. It is really great for muscle rubs and joint relieving formulas. This one has a food chemical codex ( however always seek a doctors opinion before ingesting it!) This one however should be avoided for use in children under 10 and those who have liver and gallbladder issues.

Myrrh- This too has a food chemical codex. This is one that is smokey and warm. This one has uses that have dated back to biblical times. it is used as an anointing oil, but its uses are so much greater. Mixed with frankincense, sandalwood or rosewood in a diffuser will bring the outside in! I loved blending it with frankincense and orange. It brought such a calming and relaxing yet invigorating scent! Perfect on the days you just wanna go enjoy the outdoors but can't because there is like 12 inches of snow out there! Be sure to  not use this one when pregnant nursing or near small children.

Vetivert- this oil is known as the oil of tranquility. Great for emotional balance and grounding the mind and body! This one can be very strong so be careful when using it in blends. be sure you are adding it drop by drop! This one lacks a food chemical codex so do not ingest!

The secure roll on- a blend of Ho Wood, Tangerine, Texas Cedarwood, and atlas cedarwood in pure organic golden jojoba oil. Promoting Strength, relaxation and enjoyment. Perfect for meditation!

So lets get down to the fun stuff! How did I use these oils. So finding different things to do online with these oils is not the easiest!




 You can use a combo of these oils to get a good massage oil or lotion


I went with vetivert and eucalyptus radiata  mixed with some cetaphil. calming and balancing helps boost my mood and keep me good to go!



Oil Pulling is great for promoting gum health, killing off bacteria and fighting bad breath. Use 4 drops of myrrhm 2 drops of peppermint and 4 oz of coconut oil swish in your mouth for 20 minutes. When you are done spit it in to your trash can, spitting it into you sink could result in oil clogging your sink!
