Treat Yourself Naturally with Thursday Plantation Therapeutic Essential Oils
Monday, February 12, 2018
You know what I love? I love being able to breathe. Many people might take that for granted but me, a teacher who often gets sick, I treasure those moments between colds when I can inhale through both nostrils and truly savour the food that I eat. This is why, whenever I'm fighting a cough or cold, I will resort to some good ol' aromatherapy to help relieve some of the symptoms. My go-to essential oil is eucalyptus, which you will always find in my bathroom cupboard. I tend to add a few drops onto the floor of my shower and reap the decongestant benefits. I also envision its antiviral and antimicrobial properties attacking any potential infection that so often plagues me throughout the school year. But did you know that eucalyptus isn't the only oil that helps relieve coughs and colds? Thanks to Thursday Plantation, I learned that peppermint oil can help, too.
Peppermint oil has many other benefits as well. It is used in aromatherapy to help relieve joint or muscle pain associated with sprain, strain or rheumatoid arthritis, and it can also help relieve digestive discomfort. I recently received a Therapeutic Oils Quad Gift Pack from Thursday Plantation and, after reading more about peppermint oil, I started using it to help relieve headaches naturally. To take advantage of this particular benefit, I blended peppermint oil with olive oil, and then rubbed a few drops of the blend onto the temples. There are other carrier oils you can choose such as coconut oil, and I've also read that eucalyptus oil and lavender oil can be used in a similar way to help relieve headaches.
Our complimentary gift pack also included a beautiful Thursday Plantation bamboo diffuser. This has proven extremely helpful since my daughter has been experiencing some anxiety and often finds it difficult to fall asleep at night. When this happens, we add some drops of lavender oil and turn on the diffuser so she can enjoy the calming effects. She also finds that the soft hue of the diffuser light adds additional relaxing benefits since she can pick a colour that suits her mood.
And we can't forget about Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil. Sourced and made in Australia, this essential oil is 100% pure and is free from SLS, parabens and synthetic filters. Used as a multipurpose antiseptic, tea tree oil can be used for minor cuts, abrasions, insect bites, stings and even on pimples. It is also a natural way to clean surfaces and remove odours or bacteria. Simply add a few drops of tea tree oil to warm water with your usual detergent to take advantage of its disinfectant properties the next time you tackle household chores.
While I'm still learning about the many uses and benefits of tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint and lavender oils, it's great to know that I can check out thursdayplantationcanada.ca/100uses for more great tips and ideas on how my family and I can benefit from these therapeutic essential oils. And because I have thoroughly enjoyed using them over the past several weeks, I am going to be giving away a set of Thursday Plantation Therapeutic Oils Quad Gift Pack, plus a Bamboo Diffuser. This gift pack is valued at $124 and includes:
- 50ml Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil
- 25ml Thursday Plantation Lavender Oil
- 25ml Thursday Plantation Peppermint Oil
- 50ml Thursday Plantation Eucalyptus Oil
- a Thursday Plantation Diffuser

ReplyDeleteI would love to win because I have wanted a diffuser for a while now but the price point is a little too high.

The eucalyptus will help me when I’m stuffy (which is all the time) and the lavender will hopefully help me sleep better (I have clinical insomnia). I also get headaches regularly and would love to try the peppermint oil and the other one. This would be such an incredible wellness gift t win. Please help me breathe better. Thank you for the opportunity 💖🍀🌷🤞🏻💗🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a nice way to help my wife relax after a stressful day at work.
