The cat is out of the bag! I've been using and experimenting with oils for 3 years now, that I now realized that I need to share it with you! We have experimented with oils to help with Physical, Spiritual and Emotional Wellness.
Crocheting is a huge emotional boost for me, I enjoy it so much that I tend to crochet all the time to relax. I'm a little introverted and don't say much, so I do my "release" through crocheting. I know, I know, I can't keep it bottled up, and that is my Resolution! Open Up!!
Many of us crochet for leisure, and for some it has turned into a business or a full on hobby that it is starting to take a toll on our hands, neck, back and shoulders. That is just the physical aspect, I just finished with my Christmas orders that I barely made by the deadline! So, on top of the physical pain, I was getting very overwhelmed and stressed out to make my deadline. I normally design my own patterns, and some I have had to purchase patterns for yarns I'm not experienced with, this caused a lot of eye strain for me due to my limited vision.
So, I hope my guide to Essential Oils will help you create a calm, stress-free and painless environment the next time you pick up your hook!
