If this makes your heart happy, you are in the right place! At the heart of Ashes2Joy, we want to help individuals move to a place from unhealth physically, spiritually and emotionally to a place of joy. Our main way of helping support you in that journey is by #wearingyouroils.
We are often asked, what oils do you suggest. For those of you who are oil fanatics already, chime in below in the comments and let us know your favorites.
I typically like to ask a few questions. Is there a body system you would like to support: immune, respiratory, emotions? When you think about wearing an oil as your perfume or cologne do you reach for more: floral, woodsy, spicy, refreshing, citrus or vibrant? I use those answers to help direct my purchase.
As we consider removing products from our home that do more damage to our body than supporting our health, perfumes and colognes can be one of the 1st to #ditchandswitch. In a country where few ingredients are banned and little concern for the consumers health is considered in the production of products, you can rest assured that it is possible to promote your health and smell amazing at the same time.
These are a few of our favorite oils to wear. #bergamot #abundance #frankincense #joy #lavender #kidpower #valor #peace&calming #stressaway #patchoulli #ylangylang #sandalwood

]]>Some essential oils are photosensitive. What makes them this way? Essential Oils are made up of 14 different types of constituents. One of those is Furanoids. This component makes those oils more sensitive to the sun and can cause a reaction or irritation. How do you know if your oils are safe to wear outside? With the brand I recommend, the oils are labeled if you should take caution before wearing them outside. An initial rule of thumb is to not wear citrus oils as they tend to contain this component.
What if I forget? You are not alone. I wore my favorite oil in the Texas summer heat and was left with a mark a little larger than a quarter that looked like a bruise. I knew I had “burnt” my wrist. As crazy at is sounds, reach for your oils to promote skin health again. Grab lavender and frankincense and a carrier oil like coconut oil or almond oil. Apply often, even several times a day. Trust your body. Enjoy the summer. Enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy your oils. Enjoy safely.
