Tei Fu Essential Oil Blend is derived from an ancient Chinese formula used to soothe aching muscles and stiff joints. Applied to the temples and back of the neck, it often relieves headaches. However, the oil must not be near the eyes or they may be irritated by the strong fragrance. The scent of this essential oil blend has been described as a "Be My Valentine" candy heart! Camphor Oil is an effective stimulant. It stimulates circulation, metabolism, digestion, secretions and excretion, thereby helping problems and ailments associated with improper circulation, obstructed secretions etc. Camphor can be toxic if ingested and should be used topically in small amounts. Camphor Oil is an excellent disinfectant, insecticide and germicide. The strong penetrating aroma of Camphor Oil is a powerful decongestant. It immediately opens up congestions of bronchi, larynx, pharynx, nasal tracts and lungs. It is therefore used in many decongestant balms and cold rubs.This blend is excellent in massage oils and lotions or use it as is in a diffuser or humidifier.
Peppermint contains menthol, which helps in clearing the respiratory tract. It is an effective expectorant and therefore provides instantaneous, though temporary, relief in numerous respiratory problems including nasal congestion, sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis, cold and cough. As a result, it is used in numerous cold rubs. When these cold rubs are rubbed on the chest, they assist in clearing nasal and respiratory congestion. Peppermint oil can be used externally to provide relief from pain. It is believed that the presence of calcium antagonism in peppermint oil aids in removing pain. It is cooling in nature and therefore helps reduce fever.
Wintergreen Oil increases circulation of blood and brings warmth to the application site. The relaxing and stimulating effect of this oil fights spasm in the respiratory, muscular, nervous systems and gives relief from congestion in chest, breathing troubles, asthma, spasmodic coughs, muscular cramps and nervous disorders.

I'm not referring to some obscure dance or operating heavy machinery, I'm talking about your data! One of our company PC's has been exhibiting the warning signs of failure for about a month.1) Zip disk - You'll need a zip drive.Most importantly, you will need to change your habits and make backing up a common occurrence. Some companies back up data once a week (usually Friday). We back up our most sensitive data like Quickbooks daily and boy are we glad we do! While backing up does not ensure you will never lose data, it stacks the odds in your favor that more of the data will be recoverable.
2) CD or DVD - You'll need a CD or DVD burner.
3) External hard drive - These are less expensive now than they used to be. Compact flash drives are now available that can hold a few backups with room to spare. We use a Seagate external hard drive.
4) Secure, Web-based file storage service - These are online services where you can save your data. The benefit here is that your data is stored in a physically remote place so floods and fire or other catastrophes in your office area won't affect them. Carbonite is a web-based system recommended by another business owner.
Each quarter, we are now introducing two (2) Limited Edition Body Scrubs to be available seasonally.
