Spring Swap Review

[Guest guest]

This is a little late coming :-) I would like to thank everyone involved in the

Spring Swap ! Some really nice products were sent in and a real concentration

on healing and well being was evident. So here is my review of the products

that were recieved. I swear I got something for every ailment I have, lol.

Thanks everyone!!

 

Angel Trumpet Flower Essence: This was sent in by Anna White and came in a nice

cobalt blue bottle. This is my first time trying this type of product. It is

very hard not to drink the whole bottle as she used coconut rum as a

preservative and I LOVE coconut! Really neat, thanks Anna!

 

Comfrey OIntment: This was sent in by Lucinda Smith-Caton. I have been using

this balm for everything and it really seems to work well. I recently fell

while checking my electric fencing and ripped a gash in my leg and it has helped

to heal it and take the redness away.

 

Herbal Heating/Cooling Pack: This was sent in by Laura Sarbach. I absolutely

LOVE LOVE this pack. I have problems with my hands and wrists because of severe

carpal tunnel and the damage it did. I heat this pack up and use it on my

wrists when they ache and it feels soooo good! I also put it on my head when I

get a tension headache and it works GREAT!! My youngest son also loves it.

 

Healing Balm: This was sent in by Nancy Johansen. Now this balm I really like

and even bought an extra one from Nancy :-) I use this behind my ears and down

my throat below my ears when they get sore (I have sensitive ears to cold and

wind). It seems to heat a little and quickly makes my ears feel better. Good

stuff!

 

Facial Soap and Samples: Sent in by Mary Alana Crouch. These are really neat.

They are made from all different animal tallows. The facial bar is really nice

and has a nice dense rich lather with a soft subtle fragrance that I really

like. My favourite is the Balm of Gilead :-

 

Hand and Body Moisturizing Bars: Sent in by Paula Rudinoff. These are really

good for healing your feet, elbows and hands. Glides on real nice and a nice

handy size.

 

Petunia Flower Essence, Pulse Point Therapy Ball and Drawstring Bag: Sent in by

Linda Wallen. This was very nice. Nicely wrapped in tissue paper and put in a

very nice homemade drawstring bag. I use the Tranquility aromatherapy ball

almost daily, love it!

 

Handcrafted Old Fashioned Soap: Sent in by Peggy Reed. YUMMY !!!!!! When I

first opened the box this came in I was hit with a strong aroma of citrus. It

smells delicious! I had to get another bar from Peggy! Loaded with calendula

petals and really nice stuff!! Great wake up soap!

 

St Johnswort Oil: Sent in by Fran Stauff. This is a beautiful bright red

infused oil. I havent had a chance to use this yet but really am looking

forward to trying it as it looks like a real quality oil. I wonder if this

would work on my wrists when they swell, mmmmm, gonna have to try that!

 

Well that is about it for now, I hope got everyone. We had a few drop outs and

one parcel that never did arrive but all in all it was a nice swap and I really

enjoyed it!
