I am thrilled to share that you can access my services through in San Francisco, which provides free, compassionate, integrative care to low-income women with cancer before, during, and after treatment. I am excited to volunteer with them and to advance their mission to make integrative treatment available to all, and I hope someday to be able to create a clinic like this in San Diego. Learn more about them at charlottemaxwell.org.

With cold and flu season upon us, eucalyptus essential oil is one to consider for a host of respiratory issues -- especially when there is excess mucous. Eucalyptus oil relieves chest congestion, helps free the body of pathogens, and its fragrance can be used to balance emotions like despair, and psychological traits like perfectionism, egotism, and stoicism (examples of an excess of the "metal" element in traditional Chinese medicine.

In massage, we use its anti-viral elements to relieve respiratory issues and chest congestion. For acute treatment, concentrations of up to 20% can be used for chest or back rubs, diffused in a room to clear the sinuses and lungs, or used in a steam shower or bath.

In Chinese medicine, lavender (xun yi cao) is the synthesis of polar opposites: red (hot) and blue (cold) creates a violet color, symbolizing the psychospiritual connection with all things that is important for the Shen (spirit of the heart).

Practically speaking, lavender dispels pathogens and fights infections, and can be used for applications like genitourinary and respiratory infections, cough, asthma, bronchitis, and whooping cough. It also calms and frees the spirit, helping to break unwanted habits, and treating emotional symptoms like irritability, loss of concentration, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, frustration, and self-consciousness.

It can benefit the heart qi, liver qi, tonify the yin, helping with such varied ailments as insomnia, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, muscle spasm, headache, constipation, menstrual pain, animal and insect bites, and parasites.
