The Healing Place Farm: A Treasure Trove of Natural Products #Giveaway

Screen Shot 2015-04-03 at 11.41.38 AM

I love essential oils and natural beauty care items but haven’t always had much luck making my own.  When Juliann and Polly from The Healing Place Farm contacted me and asked me to try some of their natural products I jumped at the chance.  The owner, Polly Schellinger is a Registered Nurse, Board certified Holistic nurse and is fully educated in essential oils. Polly makes most of the products herself while Juliann, the marketing manager designs and creates the custom labels.  Both women are mothers working from home, something I can totally relate to!  The Healing Place Farm is located in Wisconsin where locals can purchase the products at the open houses that are held at the farmhouse.  Everyone else can shop online at thehealingplacefarm.com.

I browsed around the site and let the ladies know what products I was most interested in.  A couple of days before Christmas, a beautifully packaged box arrived on my doorstep.  I was blown away by their generosity — they sent every single item I mentioned, plus many more in a pretty Christmas box tied with a cute little hand painted wood ornament!  The contents were amazing — it was love at first sight/smell/feel.

The Healing Place Farm lip balm selection is HUGE.  I was drawn to Cotton Candy, Asian Pear, Coconut Cream, Lemonilla and Chai Tea.  They also sent me Mango, Strawberry, Sangria, and Butterscotch which are some of their top sellers.  There’s truly something for everyone!  I highly recommend purchasing a value pack because you’ll want to keep one of these moisturizing balms everywhere you might need one — next to your bed, in your car, in your coat pocket, in your purse…..you get the idea.  Plus, if you have a value pack, you can share with your family.  My kids love these! They are chemical free and don’t have any ingredients that you won’t recognize.

One of the first things I tried from the box was the Lotion Bar in Grapefruit Orange.  It smells HEAVENLY and I really loved the application of it.  It’s in solid form in a large twist up tube that allows you to apply it right where you want it with NO mess.  Sometimes I avoid moisturizing just because I don’t want to get it on my hands but I can’t stop using this one because it smells so good and won’t make my hands greasy.  The first time I used it my daughter said “what smells SO good?!”  Like the other products from the farm this one is made with all natural ingredients including Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter and Beeswax.  It is available in many different varieties and custom orders are welcome.

During the winter my hands get super dry, especially when I’m working.  I’m a substitute paraeducator which means I often supervise outdoor recess. The cold weather really does and number on my hands!  The Pumpkin Lanolin Salve has been my go-to for night repair.  It’s formulated as a first aid product or soother and it’s perfect for around the cuticles or on winter-cracked skin.  I also like it on my lips at night if they are really chapped. Natural enzymes help exfoliate cells and regenerate skin. Pumpkin is high in fatty acids and vitamin E which skin loves. Lanolin is a favorite for dry, winter skin with cracks and scale. It protects the skin by coating it with a water resistant property. It is non-oily.  Breastfeeding mamas might recall the wonders of Lanolin as a nipple cream.

The Herbal Hand Salve is a favorite of gardeners, healthcare professionals, teachers and anyone that washes their hands often which strips the natural oils and causes dryness.  This formula is lighter than the Pumpkin Salve and has no aroma.

Both are in solid form and a little goes a long way.  It softens almost instantly with the warmth of your skin to be massaged in.  Both are wonderful but if I had to pick, I’d choose the Pumpkin Lanolin Salve.  Either way, at least one of these is a must-have for the medicine cabinet!

Speaking of medicine cabinets, here’s a product you may or may not have heard of.  Aromasticks are popular at the farm and it’s no wonder why.  These little inhalers are very effective!  There are 20 different varieties and as always, they take personal requests at no additional charge. The customer service at The Healing Place Farm is unmatched. “Immune” and “Decongest Extreme” are both great for the winter months when bugs are going around.  Certain essential oils are known to help boost the immune system and the blend of peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus, and cajeput are great for helping with stuffy noses.  These little inhalers are intended for one person use as they are inserted into the nostril and then breathed in.  They last up to 6 months!  Check out all of the different varieties to see which ones might help you.  There are ones for stress relief, sleep aid and much more!

Aromatherapy Roll-ons are a somewhat similar product with a different application method.  These have essential oils diluted with a carrier oil and are designed to roll on to pulse points or the bottoms of your feet (the brain in reflexology). The “Emotional” Blend contains Bergamot, Vetiver, and Jasmine Absolute, a pretty fragrance designed to help keep your emotions in check. These are also available in a variety of blends and custom orders.

I can’t possibly choose a favorite but one of my most favorite products from The Healing Place Farm is the Hooligan’s Diffuser Blend.  A few drops of this in your diffuser will make your home smell divine!  The spicy fragrance is warm and inviting.  If I could only choose ONE home fragrance it would be this!  It also comes in a spray which is great if you don’t have a diffuser.  If you love cinnamon/clove you can’t go wrong with this!  I was also sent a small bottle of “Clean House” which is a Eucalyptus based essential oil blend designed for cleaning the house (also great in the diffuser).  Hooligans oil can be used the same way — just add  a few drops on your dishcloth to wipe down countertops or your mop to clean the floors.  I’ve been using essential oil cleaners in my home almost exclusively for several years so I’m a big fan of these!

The Sesame After Shower Oil is in the top 10 of best sellers in the shop.  The Lavender Orange fragrance is really nice.  The oil is very light weight and soaks right in after a shower!  Be careful because this one comes out of the bottle very fast! I almost want to put it in a spray bottle for easier application but it’s otherwise lovely!
If body butters are your thing, you will love the ones from Healing Place Farm.  I love the mild fragrance of the Vanilla Mint but like most the products at the farm your options are practically endless.  And if you like bar soap, you’re in for a treat.  Last year 5200 bars were handmade at the farm and a new batch is in the 6 week process of curing as we speak.  All are gently cleansing.
One of the more unique products found at the farm is the Sudsy Facial Clay with Calendula and Coconut.  This is unlike anything I’ve tried before and was sort of like a face mask and cleanser in one that left my skin feeling really soft.

The products speak for themselves —they work as described (or better!), smell fantastic, are reasonably priced are naturally good for you.  I want to take a quick moment to speak more to the customer service and personal side of the farm.  When I emailed a thank you when my box arrived, I asked if there was a trick to the Hooligan’s spray bottle as I wasn’t able to get it to spray.  I received a reply right away and was told that a replacement was being sent.  On New Year’s Eve I received a package that not only contained another Hooligan’s Spray but another Aroma Stick to try, a party popper for the holiday and a Serendipity roll-on, all in a cute drawstring bag.
In a previous emailed I had mentioned that I was intrigued about Serendipity because I love cinnamon but had asked if it contained Patchouli as it was described as “earthy”.  The note that was included with my first package contained a note that said she had wanted to send Serendipity but hadn’t because she wasn’t sure if I had an allergy to Patchouli.  When my box arrived I had replied that I didn’t have an allergy but that I just didn’t care for the fragrance.  Since she was already sending a package she generously included a bottle Serendipity assuring me that the Patchouli scent was masked by the other fragrances. She was right.  I can’t smell the Patchouli at all and the fragrance is probably one of the best oil blends I’ve ever smelled!  I’m not an expert in fragrances at all but these one seems a little complex to me.  Its fragrances changes as it’s worn.  It smells one way when you put it on and different layers seem to come out at different times.  I love it but could not possibly describe it well enough to give it justice!

One last thing before you get the chance to win some of these fabulous products.  The Healing Place Farm not only makes great products that make people feel better but they also give back generously from the heart to missions and charitable giving.  They have a true passion for helping others.  My brief interaction with them via emails/mail gave me the warm fuzzies which I am sure was their honest intention.  They care for their customers and it shows.  Reach out to them for personal requests or order via the website at www.thehealingplacefarm.com.
