AT THE HOMETOWN MARKET!
DOROTHY'S ESSENTIAL OIL PERFUMES! The History of Perfume Until the 19th century all perfumes were made from essential oils. But, when synthetic fragrances were developed around 1930, aromatherapy and the perfume industry parted company. Today only a very small number of perfumes are produced from pure essential oils. The Bible has 188 references to essential oils. The history of the ancient Egyptians is rich with references of the use of aromatic herbs and essential oils. Essential oils were used to adorn their bodies, maintain health, and as part of their religious ceremonies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, advised his patients to take a bath and massage daily with essential oils to maintain good health. What Are Essential Oils? Essential oils are highly concentrated pure oils derived from herbs and flowers. Not all plants produce essential oils and they are present in different quantities in different plants. It takes about 12 lemons to produce an ounce of lemon essential oil and over 2000 pounds of rose petals to produce an ounce of rose essential oil. Each essential oil has unique psychological influences and medicinal properties. Pure essential oils act upon the olfactory senses (our sense of smell) sending direct messages to the brain. The different aromas have the ability to produce changes in our emotions by triggering memories and the release of endorphins in the brain. Endorphins are hormone-like chemicals that can produce gratifying sensations, euphoria and a sense of well-being. When you shop for essential oils make sure it is labeled pure essential oil. If the label says fragrance, aromatic oil, scented oil, or perfume you are probably buying a synthetic blend. Synthetic fragrances do not have the same aromatherapy properties as essential oils and may contain harmful chemicals. Essential Oils come from nature; the oils are distilled from the actual plant. Fragrance Oils are manmade. The Honey House Essential Oil Perfumes: Our essential oil perfumes are a gentle, all natural and pure way to enliven the heart and stimulate the senses. Natural source perfumes like these can be hard to find, but they are the kind of thing you can feel confident putting on your skin. All the scents below are a blend of precious aromatic essential oils, with a long lasting jojoba (pronounced hohoba) oil base in a ¼ ounce roll on bottle:
Fun in the Sun - Citrusy, Uplifting Lavender Fields - Floral, Calming Geisha - Exotic, Bold
How to apply Perfume Oils
*Shake first. *Roll perfume onto a couple of your pulse points, usually your wrists, neck, or crease of the elbows.
*Do not rub wrists together afterwards as this flattens the scent. The Honey House- Mark and Dorothy Gibson, Dorrance, PA (570-868-8172)

By the way, that was a fun and excellent show. The view was great. It was large, and they were also having an antique car show at the same time.
"ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH COLITIS?" Colitis is an acid disease like many other diseases. You need to feed your body, mind and spirit with alkaline. I do not pretend to be a medical doctor and I am not allowed to prescribe drugs, nor do I want to. I can only tell you what I have heard from others (testimonies), seen with my own eyes, and experienced in my own body. You have or should have the responsibility for your own health. When it comes to the dreadful so-called incurable disease Ulcerative Colitis, which is one of the worst forms of colitis, the medical association told me ten years ago that it was hopeless for me. There was no cure, and nothing I could do including diet or anything else would cure me. I was told I would have to show up at the doctor's office every eight weeks for the rest of my life and merely be treated to try and keep the disease under control. Through God's guidance, I ended up talking to a chiropractor in Tennessee who had been on his deathbed with the disease and had gotten well. I will share some of what he told me and add my own observations with healing. First of all he told me that if I do what he says, the bleeding would stop in 13 weeks. The doctor gave me no such hope. I did what he said and the bleeding did stop in 13 weeks! This is what I did and always did when it would show it's ugly head: DIET! NO acid foods. Including: White vinegar, black pepper, white sugar, white flour, table salt, meat and dairy products, and caffeine. No citrus fruits late at night. No fried anything. YES Alkaline. Including: Raw fruits and vegetables, pure water, raw fruit and vegetable juices, baked potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams, lightly steamed or baked veggies. Take raw juices, especially green & carrot. Barley Max is excellent. You need alfalfa, and Barley max contains this. Barley Max can also provide what the human body needs to rebuild the colon right down to the very basic cellular level. Don't be afraid to eat lots of roughage (that's lots of salad). Raw nuts and seeds are fine as long as they are soaked for 8 to 24 hours in pure water first. You can redry again in a dehydrator (under 105 degrees) or wherever you like. Take one canister of Hallelujah Acres Fiber Cleanse to get rid of the parasites and junk in your colon, and then go to plain psyllium. I can tell you how to take these products if you ask me. Take a few ounces of aloe Vera juice every day as it helps soften stools. You can take slippery elm bark right before meals, which will help heal and coat your colon. WATCH THE STRESS! Stress causes uric acid. Acid feeds colitis. I had a high stress job in South Jersey. I now have a relatively low stress job in (where I grew up) my beloved Pennsylvania. MEDITATE! Or pray. Be as much as you can at peace. Jesus said, "Be anxious for nothing". He doesn't want us to have colon diseases. EXERCISE! Good brisk walking is good for the colon and the mind. If you put cheap gas in your car it will ping and knock. If you begin to put good gas in your car it will run fine. God made our bodies to function perfectly on the right fuel. Colitis is like the pinging and knocking that will go away with the right life style. FORGIVE! (Everyone). Let God handle the vengeance. And besides, do we really want to see anyone, no matter what they've done, burn in Hell. Jesus said to "Pray for your enemies". Don't harbor bitterness. LAUGH! And be Merry. The Bible says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine". STOP WORRYING! Everything is going to be OK!!! If you don't know the definition of Ulcerative Colitis, It's: Ulcerative Colitis---- Embarrassing, humiliating, disgusting, bloody, tremendous puss. Married to the toilet at least 20 to 25 times per day. Afraid to eat anything. Good Side effects: If you're fat, weight loss--a lot of it. If you have a problem with being macho or cocky, you will no longer have a problem. If you take things for granted, you'll tend not to do that anymore as you realize you are a mortal. Colitis in any form is totally healable. Do not listen to what the world says. Our Creator says that all disease is healable and it has been proven. Susan, the owner of a health food store in Leighton, told me in the middle of that terrible illness, "Mark, everything is healable". After that, I held onto the Biblical scripture in Psalm 103 saying that God heals all our diseases. Hosea 6:4 says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge". I believe that if we take responsibility, investigate on our own, and weigh the findings, we can find our answer for total healing and health. The key I found, besides what my Creator says in the Bible, was the testimonies, discovering and talking to people who had been healed of colitis, cancer, etc. I found a common denominator in most of them having to do with their diet/lifestyle, and I decided to do basically the same thing as them, and of course, I saw the same results. We should look around and really smell the flowers, open our eyes, and take a deep breathe of Gods miraculous, nature for there is life all around us and we are supposed to be part of it. Hope to see you Wednesday at the market, MarkJMarkJ www.thehoneyhouse.net570-401-1353
