How Do YOU Survive the Cold??

Well, I can’t believe it’s been forever since I’ve written a blog. It’s not that I don’t think of it, or have plenty of ideas - it’s having (or setting aside) the time to write them. So here we are in a New Year, and in a cold snap. A great opportunity to write and something to write about!
I’m guessing that when you think of surviving the cold, Rosemary Essential Oil is not the first thing that pops into your head. For me, though, it’s been a God-send.
For many years I’ve suffered with poor circulation at my extremities (aka Raynaud’s). I’d lose the feeling in my fingers if I was driving & the temperature was below 50. And my feet were no better. I tried all kinds of socks, gloves, and mittens - finally resigning myself to stocking up on hand and foot warmers every year. When I say I had boxes of the multi packs I am not joking. Having a small backyard farm means I am out in all kinds of weather. If the temp was 30 or below (pretty much a daily occurrence here in the winter) I had warmers in my boots and mittens. I’m not really complaining - at least I stayed warm, right?
Enter Rosemary Essential Oil. I started using Rosemary after reading an article on how it can help your body deal with the affects of radiation. Yes, we are surrounded by radiation - microwaves, cell phones, wi-fi - things I never thought of. I also read the Rosemary can assist with memory, which made me all the more determined to use it daily. I mix it in a roller bottle with a carrier oil, keep it on my nightstand, and apply it to the bottoms of my feet morning and night.
I didn’t notice at the time that the cold wasn’t bothering me as much - or if I did, I didn’t make the connection to the Rosemary Essential Oil. I happened to read somewhere that Rosemary may help with circulation and that’s when it hit me! The cold wasn’t bothering me as much! BOOM - I made the connection! Then I started to make up little tests to validate it. My poor husband would come home to stories like “I was outside today without warmers in my boots and it was 30 degrees! It was in 20’s today and I didn’t have warmers in my boots or mittens! I was out for 2 hours today without warmers and didn’t get cold!” I can honestly tell you that I only resort to warmers now when it’s absolutely frigid out (like the past few weeks) and not Every.Single.Day!
Rosemary Essential Oil - I wouldn’t be without it!
