3 cups total salt ~ use combination of Epsom salt, sea salt, Remond salt, etc.
25-33 drops favorite essential oil or oil blend (peppermint/orange )
Mix together. Store in glass jar. Use ½ T. -1 T. for foot baths or a heaping 1/8 cup for a soaking bath. Always remember to soak 20 minutes or less. Set a buzzer for 20 minutes if needed, it is that important!
Blend the bananas and milk. Depending on if you want it thick like ice cream or the texture of a smoothie adjust the amount of milk and bananas.
Recipe Variations:
Chocolate Banana Ice Cream: add coco to the banana ice cream. Start small, you can always add more. (you can also try using chocolate almond milk instead of regular almond milk)
Tangerine Banana Ice Cream : add a couple drops Tangerine essential oils to the Banana Ice cream Recipe
We are excited to share with you an amazing recipe for Orange Honey Poppy Seed Dressing. We love this dressing with fruit, mixed greens, rice, and potatoes.
Wintertime is such a beautiful time of year in Utah (when we have snow), but add to our already dry air the heating of our homes and it may contribute to really dry hands and feet.
I’ve learned over the years that my diet also contributes to my dry hands and feet, but for this post I want to share my experience recently with a pretty big crack on my thumb. These minor looking cracks can cause major pain. I know it is all relevant, but just buttoning my 501 jeans was killer with the crack on my thumb.
I took some virgin coconut oil, put about an oversized tablespoon full in a small bowel, put it next to the heater or on the fireplace and after it melted I added a couple of drops of Ameo Cell Therapy Essential Oil (this will last a few days). Before going to bed I rubbed my hands and feet (my heals in particular are about 40 grit).

After two days my hands overall and my feet were feeling quite a bit better, however the major crack on my thumb wasn’t much different. Yes I want a quick fix, though I am usually pretty patient concerning alternative health options versus taking a pill. I then put some of Christopher’s “Complete Tissue & Bone” on my cracked thumb for the next two nights and saw a huge change. The pain was gone and I could tell that it was healing.
I don’t know how much the coconut oil and cell therapy contributed, but from that point I’ve been pretty consistent (not every night) using coconut oil with Ameo Cell Therapy Essential Oil and my hands and feet are doing great. I just tied a tie and didn’t snag it once with my hands!
I don’t know about you but Christmas time in our family is full of new and old holiday traditions. One of the “traditions” in our family has been “eggnog”. We have tried eggnog waffles, pancakes and cookies to name a few; many delicacies have come and gone but we have always drank eggnog as a special treat.
Well, this year we have tried to be healthier and many members of our family don’t eat/drink dairy products. We were so happy to find Coconut Milk Nog, so we can keep the family tradition going with a healthier option that tastes delicious!
* we also found mint chocolate coconut milk (we might have to start a new tradition).
