CRAZY AND AMAZING STORY FROM MY JOURNEY TO DOWN UNDER
Australia is where I am at right now, enjoying time out in the sunshine and best of all some time with my son.
On my way here something amazing happened. The flight from Vancouver to Brisbane is terribly long (about 15 hours), so I make sure to move around as much as possible. A few hours before landing I was at the back of the plane where the flight attendants hang out when they are not serving the passengers. I overheard their conversation about the requirement of the use of pesticides on the plane after landing and while the passengers have to remain in their seats! Yes, it is true, after landing they open the overhead luggage compartments and then walk up and down the aisle while spraying pesticides in there as well as a heavy dose in the washrooms. Needless to say I engaged in that conversation which led from one thing to the next including my work and the publication of the books. Lo and behold, one of the flight attendants owned a deck of BACH FLOWERS UNFOLDING and since I almost always carry one copy of my books with me wherever I go, she bought a copy of HEALING SPIRITUALITY! This made my day and re-affirmed that all the hard work and perseverance is worth it.
Truly green blessings from a hot summer in Australia,
Gudrun

Praise for HEALING SPIRITUALITY
I am so happy that Dr. Aung has given his blessings to my upcoming book.
“Among all natural healing modalities, flower remedies often deserve more modern recognition for their gentle and sensuous qualities, as they provide a safe and effective treatment option that is largely free of hazardous side effects. Gudrun Penselin has created a comprehensive and insightful work on the inherent healing qualities of Bach Flowers in Healing Spirituality: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Working with Bach Flowers. Flush with historical insight, practical guidance and a thorough understanding of the vibrational healing powers of Bach flowers, this book is a must-read for both beginners in the field as well as experts, who will benefit from an enriched understanding of remedial flower therapies.”

Getting close, only a few weeks until the official release date. Stay tuned for more news…

CALENDULA OIL – PROPERTIES & APPLICATIONS
The oil is made from Calendula officinalis often referred to as Marigold. Many plants are called Marigold and therefore the Latin name is required for correct identification.
Why not plant some Calendula this year in your garden? The flowers are bright yellow and orange and have many therapeutic properties. It is easy to grow and harvest. The oil can be made into a healing salve which is a favorite of many of my clients.
PROPERTIES
anti-inflammatory – wound healing – anti-fungal – anti-bacterial/anti-microbial – anti-septic
Calendula oil is used topically and primarily used in SKIN CARE because of its great anti-inflammatory and wound healing actions.
APPLICATIONS
SKIN DRYNESS & IRRITATION
The oil helps to moisturize the skin, soothes the area and reduces pain.
Conditions: diaper rash, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, minor cuts and wounds, bed sores, insect bites, frost bites
FUNGAL INFECTIONS
Athlete’s foot, ring worm and jock itch
INFLAMMATION
Swelling from injuries i.e. sprained muscles and bruises, leg ulcers, spider and varicose veins
HISTORICAL USE
Applied externally for abdominal cramps and constipation
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
… it takes 4,000 kg (8,818 lbs) of rose petals (2.5 acres of rose bushes) to obtain 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of essential oil of rose,
.
... 150 kg (330 lbs) of flowering tops of lavender to yield the same amount of essential oil?
Please keep this in mind when using essential oils and I suggest that you use them sparingly.
Have a wonderful and happy, healthy week.
Green Blessings,
Gudrun
