My Journey with Essential Oils

Essential Oils - It is a big thing here is USA and I had not really paid any attention to it. I am not big into jumping on these band wagons. I had seen my friend Terri use it several times. Then during my Realtor Classes, I fell sick with cold and cough and could not miss a class. So I tried Terri's Essential Oils. Basically I tried the Thieves oil (Put a few drops on my feet and rubbed my feet together and also tried RC for my breathing). It was like Miracle, where none of the medications had worked, the oils really worked for me. I was able to continue my classes without skipping a day. Terri was kind enough to make sure I had some Thieves oil for the next few day. I started feeling better right away. It took me a few more oils and few more experiments to convince me, but it did. I am now a big fan of Essential oils and very happy to have found them.

I think in our Hindu culture, we have always used Essential oils for natural health care, maybe not distilled and bottled. So, I think that I have just found my way back into roots with Essential oils. Being in oil form makes them more potent and easy to use and plus different parts of plants are used in extracting the oils improving the effectiveness.

I hope to share more of my EO experiences soon.

Thanks for stopping by,

Note: I have been mainly using Youngs Living Essential oils as that is what I got introduced to. But I have also used store bought and a few other. More on that soon.

Zurich Travelogue - Part1

Family get together in Zurich and I could not be more happier. This is the first time I am visiting Zurich. It is somewhat similar to other European Countries. Fashion is a bit more relaxed. Jeans are okay but not with Athletic shoes :) People are quite friendly even if you do not talk German.

Very fashionable place with all the designer stores as well as tons of Watch stores. Swatch of course but many others. Watch and Milk Products are in abundance and of great quality too.

Day 1 - I walked to Zurich Lake along Bahnhofstrasse . It was a fun walk. I had some expensive coffee and desert at Sprungli Bakery. Bought a Orange/Vodaphone SIM for my phone. YAY for me. Amma and Appa landed at night.

Day 2 - We went to Lake Zurich again with Amma and Appa, but we took the train all the way. It was nice. There was Saturday Thrift market going on and it was so much fun. We then came back home, had some lunch. Rested for a bit and then we went shopping to a Desi Store called Bharkat and also to the local grocery store called Coop. Got all kind of fruits and veggies.
It started Raining, so we cancelled our evening walk and we stayed home. Great day 2 so far.

Hoping for a good weather tomorrow.

More to come. Here are some pictures...
