Thank You Dr. Bronner for Alleviating the Pain

This stuff is AMAZING.

Aside from the fact that it’s detergent free, made with organic oils, and 100% Vegan …It is also 100% biodegradable, and the packaging is made of 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Cylinder Bottles and Paper Labels. Basically, this means it’s not only good for your skin, but it’s also good for the environment.

Apparently it has 18 different uses and you can use it to: clean your body, your entire house, brush your teeth AND do your laundry – It’s even safe enough for pets!

What you probably do not know, is that it’s also good for headaches.

You may have noticed I didn’t post this weekend – Sorry about that. But, if you’d been following me on Twitter then you would know that I spent all day Saturday in Long Island where everything is very green and flowery and all together lovely – If you don’t have allergies.

I do. And I swear that they were trying to kill me this weekend because by Sunday morning I had a sinus headache so bad that 3 Tylenol, 3 Advil, and a Benadryl didn’t even help (Yeah – You read that right. I said THREE).

By 11 PM I started to get desperate for relief, and took to the Internet for alternative ways to deal with headache pain. What I discovered while sorting through dozens of web pages, is that lavender oil on a hot (or cold) compress can help. There was one small problem – I didn’t exactly have lavender oil on hand – But, I did have Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Castile Soap which is made of a blend of oils including lavender.

I wasn’t sure if I would need to use the hot or cold compress, so I decided to alternate between the two while watching a 1 hour episode of L.A. Ink on demand.

It worked!

For the first time all day I felt good, and a few minutes later I was sleeping like a baby. In fact – Best sleep in weeks.

Thank you Dr. Bronner. I heart you.
