Self Love ~ Pout and push, luxury of self-love, and savoring murmur

The Word Plum

"The word plum - is delicious

pout and push, luxury of self-love, and savoring murmur

full in the mouth and falling like fruit

taut skin pierced, bitten, provoked into juice, and tart flesh

question and reply, lip and tongue

of pleasure."

White Pine Essential Oil ~ Pinus Strobus

White Pine Essential Oil ~ Pinus Strobus
This is an excellent essential oil to diffuse, not only for the heavenly fragrance and physical benefits but for the energetic ones as well.  You may try 3 drops of white pine in 1 tablespoon of fatty base oil like grape seed, coconut, or almond oil, in a warm bath with a handful or two of salt (sea or epson). Try 25 - 50 drops in 1 oz of base oil and rub on sore muscles and joints. 30 drops in 10 ml base oil to help heal open sores and wounds. I am always bashing about outdoors and my legs look I am just learning how to roller skate! I use this essential oil often to help make sure I do not get infected and help accelerate  healing. For a topical cleaning mixture for surfaces try, 1 teaspoon of white pine essential oil, 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol (or alcohol of choice) and water in a 4 oz spray bottle. It will separate, shake to mix before each use. No guarantee this will help (it is worth a shot) add a few drops to your cloth face coving before venturing out into public.
