Changing Seasons - Part 3

Now that we have good hygiene and a good diet what else can we do?  I would suggest keeping some great essential oils on hand that may help with the various things we experience with the changing seasons. 

Some of the very best immune boosting type essential oils are: Melissa (very expensive and only available seasonally.  A little goes a loooog way.  So dilute 1:100.  Oregano, Ravintsara, Basil, Blue Cypress, Hinoki, Mountain Savory, Eucalyptus Radiata, Melaleuca Alternafolia (tea tree), Melaleuca Ericiafolia an dMelaleuca Quinquenervia.

 Some essential oils that are great for respiratory support are: Dorado azul, Eucalyptus blue, Eucalyptus Dives, Eucalyptus Globules (this one is an expectorant), Ravintsara, Breathe Again (my favorite) and Hyssop.

 Anti-inflammatory essential oils are great to have on hand ALL THE TIME.  Because seriously, do you ever deal with inflammation?  Some good ones are: Idaho Balsam Fir, Frankincense (my absolute favorite oil of all time), Palo Santo and Copaiba.

And since the lymphatic system is so important to flushing out those nasty toxins we minus well get some oils that may help support the Lymph.  How about Ledum, Laurus Nobilis, Cedarwood, Melrose (one of my new loves) and Purification.

 When using essential oils on people it is always best to refer to the Essential Oil Desk Reference (EODR) for application methods, and Gentle Babies for children and babies.  These are available at www.abundanthealth4u.com and growinghealthyhomes.com

Changing Seasons - Part 2

Yesterday we learned about simple yet effective hygiene methods that may help ward off the gunk of changing seasons.  Today lets talk about naturally boosting our immune systems. 

The best immune booster is our diet.  Eating as much clean, organic and unprocessed foods as possible is key.  Reducing sugar intake and drinking water, water and more water!  What!?!?  You don't like the taste of water?  Not to worry; just add a drop of one of Young Living's citrus oils to your water and enjoy.  They have orange, lemon, lime, grapefriut, slique essence and citrus fresh essential oils; these are also great immune boosters!  How about that.

Now that your diet is helping you out why not add some of these other Young Living products:

Life 5 is their amazing probiotic - daily

Super C is a great vitamin C supplement - daily

Inner Defense - daily

NingXia Red - 2+ oz daily

Changing Seasons - Part 1

I am sure by now everyone is looking forward to the changing seasons, but not so much to the yuck that can blow in with them.  Sneezes and sniffles seem to be making its way around this year, but if we are knowledgeable and prepared we don't have to be afraid.  This next short series is going to be about practical ways we can 'prepare' against this (and other) potential effects.

Did you know that viruses are not new?  Actually, the enterovirus was first discovered in 1962, and it effects nearly 50 million people annually in the United States.  While most people have mild symptoms, since so many people get some form of this annually, the number of serious complications can add up.

Most people have had at least one form of enterovirus by age 1.  You may recognize some of the various enterovirus: polio, had-foot-and-mouth disease, encephalitis, meningitis, and many others.

The enterovirus is highly contagious and lives in bodily fluids, surfaces (several days), and even in dust!  The average incubation period is 3-10 days, so who knows where they actually picked up the little (or big) bug?

Another quirk about this virus is that it can settle in various organs of the body and lie dormant or show up as a series of illnesses over several years.

So, what can we do to keep our defenses up?  That is a great question!

Today we will talk about hygiene.  Of coarse, I believe prayer is the number one defense anyone can have, but for this blog's sake we will talk about Young Living oils and products (which I also believe to be a gift from God coming from the very plants He created). 

Ok, back to hygiene.  Drum roll please (drrrrrrruuuuuuummmmmm) Thieves!  Yes, as a family we L-O-V-E Young Living's Thieves line.  All of it.  Yes.  All.  Of.  It. 

First, clean your house with the Thieves Household Cleaner.  It is a 'cleaner' after all.  Remember those surfaces the virus can live on for several days?  Kill it in your own home by keeping those surfaces clean.  You can also use Thieves Bar Soap or Thieves Foaming Hand Soap at all of your bathroom and kitchen sinks, and go ahead and wash those hands often.  Another great idea: diffuse!  Diffuse Thieves Essential Oil in your home or office 30 minutes daily, or even several times a day.

Ok, but I am not always home.  I do have to go out and be around people.  Yes, this is true.  My family likes to apply Thieves Essential Oil to the bottom of our feet and down the spine before going to crowded places to help with our own immune support.  Also, there is non-toxic Thieves Hand Sanitizer for us, and Thieves Spray for public surfaces likes disinfecting shopping carts!  Honestly, there is a Thieves product for all of your first line of defense needs.

Young Living's Premium Starter Kit comes with a small bottle of Thieves Essential Oil AND a Home Diffuser (along with other valuable oils).  Actually, there is a new Thieves Premium Starter Kit that comes with most of the Thieves line!
