Basically, an essential oil contains aroma compounds found in plants. They are extracted from plants and are often fragrant or have distinctive scents that set them apart from artificial oils and products. Distillation is often the process done in order to extract oils from plants. Steam is essential in being able to get the oils out of the plants and in being able to preserve them well. Throughout history, essential oils have been used for a variety of reasons, such as for medicinal and aesthetic purposes. Using essential oils in beauty products is ideal because they come from plants, which means that they are natural and there are no side effects to using them. Using essential oils is also a form of aromatherapy. Plus, being able to create your own beauty products with the help of different essential oils would be so much fun. Aside from being able to use the products on your own, you may also sell them to your friends and colleagues.

This book (approx. 9,290 in length) is also a section found in my more comprehensive resource titled: "The Everything Adenal Fatigue Book " and is being made available for readers interested in natural and prescribed treatments for Adrenal Fatigue, specifically. This book is compiled from articles I wrote on the subject of adrenal fatigue between the years 2005 and 2009 that contain information on conditions commonly related to the syndrome, with emphasis on treatments that are available, of both the prescribed and natural types. Included in the information is discussion on the most suspected causes for diminished adrenal gland function, resulting in symptoms. Within these discussions, I point out both the successes and failures reported by medical research groups, who have tested the efficacy of cortisol steroid hormone treatments for patients with sub-clinical forms of adrenal insufficiency. I also discuss the positive results that other adrenal fatigue patients experience with alternative and natural self-treatments. The importance for recognition by the medical community for adrenal fatigue syndromes is also an included aspect within the chapters that follow and I dedicate most of the final chapter in this book, to the subject of conventional-medical versus alternative-natural treatments, pointing out the reality that both can be positive or negative, depending on each case they are administered for. This latter aspect is not included, to confuse the reader but to simply point out that patient-individuality comes into play, as well as trial and error, when superior treatments are being sought for individuals with adrenal fatigue syndromes. The point is hopefully conveyed adequately, that options for treatments are not restricted to one type but that some adrenal fatigue patients can respond favorably to more that one type treatment or in some cases, to a combination of them. Through patient self-education and pro activeness, optimal treatment can be found but understanding the causes of adrenal fatigue for an individual and knowing whether or not there are co morbid conditions present (related, coexisting ones) can help with the determination for treatment options. With thyroid disease being common in adrenal fatigue sufferers, I also dedicate a portion of the information that follows, to the relationship of thyroid to adrenal function. It is my sincere hope that readers will benefit from the information contained within the chapters of this book. CONTENTS: CHAPTER 1: Adrenal Fatigue by Any Other Name CHAPTER 2: Adrenal Fatigue and Thyroid Patients CHAPTER 3: Balancing Adrenal Fatigue Treatment with Hypothyroid Therapy CHAPTER 4: Adrenal Fatigue or "Hypocortisolemia" CHAPTER 5: CFS, Fibromyalgia and Low Cortisol CHAPTER 6: Conditions That Cause Mild Adrenal Insufficiency CHAPTER 7: Cortisol & DHEA Supplements for Adrenal Fatigue CHAPTER 8: The Role Stress in Diseases and Syndromes CHAPTER 9: Another Look at Adrenal Fatigue Treatments CHAPTER 10: The Importance in Confirming Treatment Information

Nadia Finley offers a lifestyle program that is practical and easy to understand. Based on her own life experiences, Finley developed the "Project Elinor" program for those dealing with personal hardship, and for any one of us who simply want to lead healthier, happier lives.

In this book, Finley guides readers through pathways to emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. By sharing her moving story about the loss of her mother, Finley provides unique perspectives to overcome any of life's obstacles, accompanied by a series of practical exercises to help you through the process. You will understand how to separate the mind from the body when coping with negative experiences and learn strategies for gaining control of the mind when things are at their worst. Essentially, you will learn how to "live" life - as opposed to being "victim"ized by it.

In order to refer to the manner of life's difficulties in a clear and simple way, Finley conceptualizes these hardships as "Illnesses', "demonstrating how these experiences can negatively affect your overall well-being. Therefore, in this book, the term "Illness'" is not necessarily linked to a physical sickness, but rather it is connected to your personal struggle with any of the following: the loss of a loved one; loss of a job; loss of self-esteem or self-identity; the breakdown of a marriage or relationship; or a drastic change in your financial status. You determine what your "Illness" is. To put it simply, our "Illnesses" are our most profound negative life experiences, the kinds of experiences that each of us must contend with at one point or another. This book offers the tools needed for optimizing every experience and opportunity that life will provide, despite the negative circumstances that any of us fear to face and overcome at the present time.
