Health Benefits of Peppermint Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil

The benefits of peppermint are many, but the most common reason I offer it to my massage clients is that it relieves muscle soreness at the same time as it reduces inflammation. I frequently see people who have an acute condition, but more often I find overuse of a particular muscle group is the cause of restriction and discomfort. I usually apply 4 to 6 drops along the spine, lightly effleurage the oil with my fingertips and then cover with coconut or apricot kernel oil. Peppermint oil will continue to relax muscles, even after leaving my treatment room for as long as you leave it on your s ..read more

Early this morning (4/1/2020) my dog Sophie died at the U of M small animal emergency room. We had 7 lovely years of camping on the North Shore, hiking the SHT, walking around Lake Harriet and Pike Island, and relaxing in the sun. Some of you may have gotten to know her as she worked the reception area to greet people before sessions. Some of you allowed her to be present during bodywork sessions. She was patient, kind and fiercely protective. She loved to dance and do tricks for treats. I am so grateful that I had her in my life and had a chance to hold her and tell her how much she meant t ..read more

Check out my posts here and here when you have a moment. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed writing them. Ian't it a blessing that outdoor opportunities for practicing mindfulness, standing, sitting or walking in stillness is increasing with the warmer weather?

Self Care: Walking Meditation

My massage table is patiently waiting for this period of "shelter in place" to come to an end. In the meantime, walking meditation can contribute to your sense of being grounded and at ease in your body. It doesn't need expensive equipment and can be done anywhere your feet happen to be. Focus on your breath, feel the bottoms of your feet connected to the surface they are touching. With your first step, imagine your inhale breath moving up the ball of your foot and the back of your body, over your head and pausing for a moment at your crown. Transfer your weight and slowly exhale, i ..read more

Fresh or dried ginger, hot water, steep until the perfect concentration. Sip slowly while watching Frozen 2 with your resident grandchild. Breathe. All will be well. You have got this. Warm water, epsom salt, pumice stone. Soak for 20 minutes, then gently rub feet with the soapy pumice stone and massage with brush working your way from toes to lower leg. Recruit your partner to assist you if this is difficult on your own. Practice asking people for help so it becomes easy and that you stop debating whether you deserve help. Grab your foam roller and decide: wall or floor. Position yoursel ..read more

The water is artificially colored black perhaps simply to hide the plumbing structures. The treatment turns the surface into a mirror, doubling the amount of flowers and floating candles in the sunken garden.The reflection of light is breathtaking. The palate of the curent flower display varies shades of and intensities of purple. The main species for me is a stunning lavendar hibiscus with a mottled design of spotches and ripples of a deep plum. Grandma Joyce loved hibiscus and replaced them as they faded. I bought one to adorn her hospice room, hoping to distract her from her disgust at endi ..read more

Self-care Wednesday suggestion: visit Como Conservatory. Breath the oxygen rich air and the fragrance of the fern room. Check out the orchids blooming in surprising places. Take a book and a thermos of your favorite beverage. Browse the gift shop for cute notebooks and write down your thoughts as you wander though the greenhouses. When I spend time here I am reminded of my last trip to Paris: I set aside a whole day for exploring the Jardin des serres d’Auteuil.  I imagine I am sitting on one of the little tables scribbling in my notebook, sipping hot tea, watching the finches and parakeets i ..read more
