Quick Cure for Headache - Aromatherapy

If you've ever got a painful headache, think minty fresh. Aromatherapy is a great therapy for many ailments, headaches included. If like my other half, you feel like lying on the sofa for hours on end, convinced you are living out your last moments, think again. Think minty fresh. A simple blend of peppermint and lavender essential oils should relieve your pain in no time. Either use a hot compress and place on your forehead until the pain eases, or dilute in a carrier oil and massage it onto the forehead and scalp. Or another alternative is to use it in a steam inhalation. Whichever method you choose, you should feel the pain quickly drifting away. If you want a double whammy of help, why not combine it with an Indian Head Massage? Extra soothing. So now there's no excuse to get out of doing any cleaning :)

Continuing saga of Sock's tail and Reiki

So...I was treating Sock's tail with Reiki and it seemed to be going really well - he did not seem to experience any pain when he hit it against something. Yipee! The reiki worked! However... being a dog, he chewed his plaster contraption off his tail and then on Saturday night when our visitors came around, got very excited and wagged and wagged his tail still it hit something and started to bleed again! Argghh. So I have not yet re-plastered it but have been administering more Reiki - fingers crossed, so far it seems to be ok. I don't know whether the power of the Reiki will protect it completely so am in two minds what to do. I'll give it a day or two and decide....
