			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here in Australia we are in the last part of our winter.  A very easy way to make the air in your winter-enclosed home feel fresher and help beat off bugs is to diffuse oils into the air.<a href="http://avalonessences.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/aromatherapy-inhalation-clipart.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-152" title="aromatherapy inhalation" src="http://avalonessences.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/aromatherapy-inhalation-clipart.jpg" alt="aromatherapy inhalation" width="180" height="158" /></a></p>
<p>In order to do this, you can use a diffuser, lamp and ring, or simply by warming some water on the stove and adding a few drops of oil to that.<em> If you use the stove method, please be careful not to let the pot go dry.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>You can use a variety of essential oils like Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Ginger, Orange, Lemon, Lime, Cinnamon, Cypress, Bergamot, Frankincense, Pine, Chamomile, Juniper, Lavender any combination of these and the lst goes on &#8230;..</p>
<p>Blessings</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a quick and easy recipe to try</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:<a href="http://avalonessences.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bath_salt.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-112" title="Bath Salts" src="http://avalonessences.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bath_salt-150x150.jpg" alt="Bath Salts" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>3 cups Dead Sea salt, regular sea salt or Epsom salt, or a blend of two or three of these salts. Sea salts typically come in several grain sizes. Combining multiple grain sizes can make your salts more appealing. Keep in mind, however, that more course grains do take longer to dissolve in the tub.</li>
<li>15-24 drops of your selected essential oil or essential oil blend. Be sure and take heed in the safety data for the oil(s) you choose to use.</li>
<li>1 tablespoon fractionated coconut oil or other carrier oil (optional)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<p>Place the salt mixture into a bowl. If you have chosen to include the optional vegetable oil to your salt recipe, add it to the plain salts and mix well with a spoon or fork. Then, add the drops of your chosen essential oils. Again, mix very well. Add the mixture to a pretty jar, salt tube, or container that has a tight fitting lid. Salts that are kept in a container that is not air tight will lose their aroma more quickly.</p>
<p>After a day, you may wish to mix well again to ensure that the oils are well incorporated.</p>
<p><strong>To Use:</strong></p>
<p>Add 1/2-1 cup of the salts to running bath water. Mix well to ensure that the salt has dispersed well in the tub before entering. To keep the essential oils from evaporating too quickly, you can add the bath salts just before getting in the tub instead of while the water is running. Sitting on undissolved chunky bath salts, however, can be uncomfortable, so make sure the salts have dissolved well before entering.</p>

I also use this with the Healing Balm as a daily face gel.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I first got into making my own aromatherapy based products after venturing in and out of many Health Food Stores and not finding what I wanted so I would buy a variety of different oils and base products and mix to create my own blend.<a href="http://avalonessences.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wellness-banner.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9" title="aromatherapy - wellness" src="http://avalonessences.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wellness-banner-300x84.jpg" alt="aromatherapy - wellness" width="300" height="84" /></a></p>
<p>I would also write down the ingredients I found in many so called ‘natural’ or ‘aromatherapy’ products and research them to find out what was actually in the product – this is when I realised people were not getting what they bargained for. I found many of the products contained chemicals and alcohols that dry out the skin or cause skin rashes.</p>
<p>This is when I decided to do something about it &amp; create my own. It started just for me, then for family and friends but I kept getting orders for more so Avalon Essences was created.</p>
<p>All of my products are derived from plants, antioxidants, herbs, fragranced oils and essential oils for their therapeutic values; and do not contain harmful ingredients.</p>
<p>Avalon Essences is Australian owned and operated. The unique aromatherapy products are hand-made fresh in small batches without harmful chemicals, animal derivatives, harsh detergents or petroleum by-products.</p>
<p>Exciting new products are always being added to range.</p>
