The ongoing safety tips on the Coronavirus is a major concern for those of us that are Naturopathic, Alternative Therapeutic, Spiritual, Indigenous, and Birthing Practitioners. One confusion is how our pores work.

​

Our skin has millions of pores that never close and can expand depending on climate, temperature, age, moisture, toxins, illness, etc. Pores, which are tiny openings in the skin that allow fluid to pass, are considered an orifice.  We are encouraging communities to use cool water with castile soap to wash the skin, starting the process of cleaning and resoring the pores. Then immediately apply an organic moisturizer adding one drop of therapeutic grade organic essential oils directly to the moisturizer before applying to your skin.

 

The recommended essential oils are:

• Lemon Grass

• Ravensara

• Lavender

• Rosemary

• Bergamont

• Lemon Balm

• Lemon and other Citrus oils

• Cedarwood

• Cinnamon

 

These essential oils have positive effects on the skin as well as Anti-Viral/Bacterial/Fungal properties. Therapeutic oils can also be added to mouthwashes, food, and bottled water.

 

Just as a reminder, other body parts that are considered orifices are the anus, ear, genital areas, mouth, nipples, nostrils, and tear ducts.

Practice better than good hygiene and always safe sex.
