Omega-3 to the rescue!

Omega-3s Reduce Anxiety, Inflammation

Fish oil from salmon and other cold-water species is a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, and according to a new study, can help reduce both inflammation and anxiety. A research team from Ohio State University reported that daily doses of omega-3 supplements, providing about four to five times the amount of fish oil found in a daily serving of salmon, reduced anxiety among a group of medical students. Inflammation can foster diseases ranging from arthritis to cancer and heart disease. The study was published online on July 19, 2011 by the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity.

My We've known for some time that omega-3s help tone down inflammation, and may help reduce the risk and symptoms of a number of disorders influenced by inflammation. We also know that people with memory loss, depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), may benefit from omega-3s, so it makes sense that these fats would also help reduce anxiety. To get adequate omega-3s, eat oily fleshed, wild-caught, cold water fish two to three times per week. If you use fish oil capsules, take two grams daily of a brand that contains both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

Help boost your immunity with Probiotics

I was reading an article in a magazine (I think it was Prevention) .... the one thing I recall is that your immunity stems from your gut! I never knew this .... did you?

It’s a little-known fact that 80 percent of your immune system is located in your gut. Since your immune system is your body’s first line of defense, this means that your digestive system can greatly influence your overall health.

• Digestive Health:Your intestine is in a near-constant war pitting "good" probiotics with unhealthy "bad" bacteria. Too many bad bacteria in your guy can encourage digestive issues like Chron's disease and irritable bowel syndrome, MayoClinic.com reports. Consuming probiotics adds reinforcements for the good bacteria in your gut, reducing the risk of bad bacteria overgrowth. Probiotics can reduce the incidence of diarrhea by 60 percent in children, Harvard University School of Public Health reports.

• Cancer: Cancer was the cause of more than 10 percent of all deaths worldwide in 2008, the World Health Organization reports. Research published in the July 2008 issue of "Cellular Microbiology" found that a specific type of probiotic -- Lactobacillus reuteri -- promoted cancer cell death in a test tube experiment. This probiotic, commonly found in yogurt, activated enzymes in cancerous cells that forced them to self destruct. However, no human research has replicated the results of this particular study.

• Immunity: Probiotics help regulate your body's immune system, making it more efficient and effective.

• Yeast Infections:Yeast infections are a common cause of pain and discomfort in women. A research review published in the March 2002 "Microbes and Infection" notes that the type of probiotics found in yogurt can help reduce severity and incidence of yeast infections and urinary tract infections. Like in your intestine, probiotics drive out bad bacteria by using up precious space and nutrients..Probiotics naturally release compounds that make it hard for potentially infectious bacteria to adhere to your body, the study authors note.

 Give your immune system a boost before cold and flu season begin!!!

Ending with a story.... 

Chronic diarrhea for twenty years!

Author: Carol Lynn Nash

My husband has had chronic diarrhea for over 20 years. He has been to several doctors and specialists. He was finally told to take Imodium everyday, this did not stop the diarrhea but it did help. He did this for the past 15 years. We started taking the probiotic Life 5 from Young Living and his diarrhea ended in about 3 days. It is the first time he has had normal stools in so long. We had no idea the probiotic would help. We were taking it as a supplement to help with digestion. Not sure if anyone else suffers from this, if so try the Life 5. He takes one each night before he goes to be.

LEMON OIL TO THE RESCUE!! (again) for GERD

Acid Reflux

Essential oils can be used as an alternative treatment for a variety of problems. As we get older (over 35 in fact) there is a decrease in stomach acid production and this can be helped along by stress. This allows ‘bad bacteria’ in the stomach to grow and they in turn produce gas and acid that leads to the discomfort and the ‘sound affects’ associated with reflux. Natural remedies for acid reflux target this by increasing the amount of ‘good bacteria’.

Instead of looking for natural remedies for acid reflux most people turn to the traditional acid-blocking drugs such as Tagamet, Zantac and Prilosec. While these drugs may work quickly on the symptoms, the problem is that they reduce your ability to digest food, make you more susceptible to diseases transmitted through food and increase your risk of food poisoning.

Natural Remedies for Acid Reflux
Prevention includes eating smaller meals, reducing your take of carbohydrates, eliminate fried foods, increase the amount of protein you eat and drink more water – at least eight to ten glasses per day (more if you sweat a lot).
Natural remedies for acid reflux include the following supplements:

·        A high quality probiotic (LIFE 5 from young living) to increase the ‘good bacteria in the stomach’.

·         Digestive enzymes– before each meal – to improve digestion.

·        Other natural remedies for acid reflux include the herbs peppermint, chamomile, spearmint, lemon, marjoram and clove. Essential oils may be applied by massage and peppermint or chamomile tea is very effective – particularly in place of caffeine.

·        Lemon is a fast and easy acid reflux remedy. You can squeeze half a lemon in 8oz. of water and sip it slowly in the morning before breakfast. Or use lemon essential oil for even greater benefits. ("When a guest at my house asks me for an antacid drink or tablet, I make them drink a 8 ounce glass of water with one drop of lemon essential oil in it instead.”) By ingesting lemon juice or essential oil the stomach temporarily reduces the excretion of digestive acids, therefore alleviating heartburn. A very simple acid reflux remedy. Lemon essential oil has antibacterial properties, which may be effective against H.pylori bacteria in the stomach and further down the digestive tract (diarrhea). If you are interested in the alkalinity or acidity of foods you'll be amazed to know that fresh lemons are actually an alkaline food showing up at 9.9 PH on the Ash scale.

GERD is no longer a problem in our family Just to mention briefly that our whole family, especially our son who is now in his 20s, suffers from GERD. This is a condition in which the stomach contents leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus. My son was born with it and was on Reglan syrup the first months of his life. We started using Lemon oil and it has made a BIG difference for all of us. We now use it as a preventive by drinking a glass of water in the morning with a couple of lemon drops of oil and we don't have GERD anymore. If we forget to do this and get GERD in the daytime, we just rub some on our chest and it is taken care of completely!

It also may help ease tension headaches, as well as decrease joint and muscle pain.  Anyone who tries it LOVES it!!!   (A client called me and requested 2  Deep Relief oils. I asked her why because she just purchased one the week before. Here is her story: "My furnace was being serviced and I noticed the technician was rubbing his neck. I asked him if he wanted to try something to help with pain, he said, "Sure why not!". The next day he called and wanted 2 Deep Relief roll-ons; one for him and on for his 90yr old Mother." )

LEMON OIL TO THE RESCUE!! This picture is worth a thousand words!

The pictures above are a before and after of my husband's arm.

He was patching a roof  and ended up with some tar on his arm.

It would not come off so he was off to the store to find

 some type of solvent or chemical to remove it. I asked him if

I could try removing it with lemon oil, and being a good

sport he said, "o.k. but I do not think it will work." 

I used 5-6 drops of Young Living's lemon essential oil

using a paper napkin-it wiped it off in seconds!!

 ~Some other uses for Lemon Oil~ 

• A few drops removes most sticky residues- things like tar, stickers,  adhesives, sap and pine pitch. (" I cut down my Christmas tree and in the process my hands got covered with pine pitch. It would not come off.. Being new to oils I thought I would try lemon and 3 drops later my hands were clean!")
• Removes permanent marker, and crayon.  Use to remove paint from hands.
• Add 10-15 drops of lemon oil into a small spray bottle, fill with water and use to disinfect counter tops while leaving your kitchen smelling fresh and clean. This spray also can be used to clean fruit. ("I have a new dishwasher and it smells. I add 1-2 drops of lemon oil in with my soap and the smell has gone away. Lemon kills bacteria so I know my dishes are germ free.")
  
• Add lemon oil to your drinking water; it tastes great and enhances immunity by providing a high level of antioxidants as well as vitamin C. 2-3 drops a day is all you need.  ("I felt like I was coming down with a cold. I drank lemon oil in my water, used a few drops of oil in my tea, and rubbed it over my throat and neck. The next day I woke up and I felt better! Lemon beat my cold.")
  
• Lemon oil and all the citrus oils contain D-limonene; a compound that has been studies for its ability to prevent tumor growth in over 50 clinical studies. (My daughter adds 1-2 drops of a citrus oil to her aluminum water bottle that she takes with her to school. She loves the taste! I feel good knowing she is getting an healthy alternative vs. an artificially flavored drink that offers no health benefits.) 
• Lemon is uplifting and refreshing and helps improve concentration.  

          Yours in Health, Ann.

(If you'd like to try it, stop me. It is another oil I carry with me.I am happy to share!)

Ahhhh DEEP RELIEF ....it is good stuff!

 

Young Living's DEEP RELIEF ESSENTIAL OIL

"It is the best stuff to ease my neck pain!"  

Young Living's Deep Relief is an essential oil blend created to help ease muscle tension and pain. This blend contains very powerful natural anti-inflammatory oils that are perfect for our everyday aches and pains.My favorite use for this oil is to apply it to my neck which tends to get stiff and tense from working in front of the computer for extended periods of time. It is equally fantastic for most muscle and joint challenges including sore muscles, sprains, and ligaments. Deep Relief can be used as a natural muscle relaxer; definitely use it for inflammation of the back or as a muscle pain remedy. Some people use it to combat tension or migraine headaches. If you suffer from bone pain, use deep relief in conjunction with wintergreen essential oil. I like to layer Ortho Sport Massage Oil over Deep Relief Essential Oil when I have very sore muscles after a difficult work-out.

                            

Deep Relief essential oil comes in a portable roll-on applicator. The steel ball applicator makes it super easy to apply and provides a small amount of oil to the application area; perfect for when you are sitting in front of the computer or when applying the oil to those hard to reach places on your back or shoulders.

A few stories from clients: (You may recognize yourself in a story below!)

~ A client was not interested in using essential oils and looked at me with much trepidation. She suffers with neck pain so I snuck up and rolled her neck with the Deep Relief. The next day she said, "I want that stuff".  A few weeks later I asked how she was doing and she replied, "When I feel my neck getting tight, I use a few times before it before it gets bad, and it really helps me."
There is no greater testimonial than this!

~A client works 8-10 hours a day on the computer and had limited range of motion and neck tension and soreness.  I shared my Deep Relief roll-on with her. The next day she got one for herself. It was a few weeks later when her co-worker noticed that her neck was moving so much more freely. I asked her what she thought and she remarked, "I can move my neck in ways that I have not been able to do in years! I applied it 3-4x a day when I started but now I do not really need it anymore. I gave it to my Mother to try."

~A man who is was very skeptical about oils shared with me that he woke up with a sore neck and shoulder. About 10 minutes after he used the Deep Relief he came over to me and stated, "Wow that stuff really works! My neck feels better already. Can I have one?"

~ From Sharon "I first tried Deep Relief for my own ailments and was amazed at the quick relief that I felt. I shared with one lady who had been using either a walker or cane, and within just a few minutes she felt like walking without either! And did, with no pain! I also shared with a karate instructor who has a bad ankle and knee, with constant pain. A few days later, he told me that 'that liquid band-aid' was 'the bomb', the best pain relief that he has used."

I am never with out Deep Relief, feel free to stop me and try it for yourself.

I'd love to get your honest feedback!

 

In a world filled with so many harmful toxins and chemicals

Deep Relief Essential oil blend offers a

 non-toxic approach to support your health and combat your aches and pains.
