Why Is Our Society So Sick? Is Your Body Paying The Price?

Forgetful? Absent Minded?? Nurture And Improve Your Brain, The Machine That Operates Your Mind.

I am trying the brain and sleep support system from Isagenix. Loss of memory scares me. This system has been shown to improve the memory, learning, balance, and brain speed. These  are all things I would like!! I have learned that it will take at least 15 yrs for the FDA to approve a drug to do what this system can. I am not waiting that long! Once you have lost your cognitive abilities (usually starts around age 35) you are on your way to decreased functioning and ability...your brain simply can not perform as it used to. Have you experienced this?? I have and frankly I do not like it!! So I am going to start on this system and I will let you know what I  THINK!!    Ann

Natural Pet Care with Young Living Essential Oils

Veterinarians and pet owners are just starting to discover the amazing benefits of essential oils for pets. Essential oils can cleanse minor wounds, abrasions and lacerations, they can help control fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes without toxic effects, they can provide respiratory and urinary tract support, soothe joint pain, and calm stress, fear, anxiety… all without toxic chemicals or harsh ingredients. Whether your best friend is in need of a pet bath, a mood boost, or suffering from minor skin irritation, Young Living has a healthy, natural, pet-friendly solution.

It is important to note that 100% pure essential oils must be utilized. One essential oil can works for many different situations because each oil contains several constituents. For example, Lavender is often used for calming. Lavender also is antimicrobial and works well on cuts and minor abrasions; it promotes tissue rejuvenation and healing, and it often acts as a flea deterrent.

RECOMMENDATIONS – A multitude of essential oils can be used on pets. The information below will highlight 5 products from Young Living; Purification Essential Oil, Peace & Calming Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil,  Animal Scents, and Thieves Household Cleaner. **Never underestimate the power of a small amount of any essential oil. More is not necessarily better. I must CAUTION you should NOT use regular store-bought essential oils on your pets as they are not pure and could case great damage to your beloved companion. The purpose of this information is to give you information for alternative products for the health and well being of your pets.

I. PURIFICATION- is a blend of essential oils that is useful for eliminating odors (skunk spray and urine) and can assist with flea and tick prevention.  (Recommend a 1:5 or 1:10 dilution with carrier oil when using on cats.)

~Add 10-15 drops into a small container of baking soda and sprinkle on your carpets- let sit for a few hours. Will neutralize odors and freshen carpets naturally without any chemicals that can potentially affect our furry friends!                                                              

~ Add 10-15 drops into a small (4-6oz) spray bottle, fill with water and use to freshen air; neutralizes odors and kills bacteria and airborne viruses.

~Apply purification to ticks to make them back out of the skin. Apply a drop or two on a bee sting to relieve swelling.

~For ear mites in cats and dogs – dilute -1-2 purification and peppermint with 1 tsp of carrier oil (olive, coconut etc...) use a swab and apply to inside of ear.

Below are stories from pet owners who use purification:

1) Purification for flea/tick prevention (from Monica R.)

I was ecstatic when I found out that Purification could be used as a flea & tick preventative. Not only did I dislike putting Front line on my dogs (nervous of the chemicals) but that stuff is so expensive. I can use the Purification more often and it's much more cost effective. So far so good, no sight of fleas & ticks! I apply a drop or two between the shoulder blades about once a week during spring & summer and then during fall & winter I apply a drop about once a month. So far I've not seen one tick or flea on either of my dogs.

2) The dog's fleas have fled (from Julie H.)
I found a flea on my dog that is on a regular medication for fleas. It has been a particularly bad year for fleas and the vet recommended having her ‘dipped’. I didn’t want to do that. I made a concoction of 20 drops Purification and a 1:1 ratio of rubbing alcohol and water in a spray bottle. I put one drop on the dog between her shoulder blades and sprayed the mixture on her bedding, our rugs, carpets and furniture. I haven't seen any fleas or evidence of them since!

3) Getting annoying smell out of concrete (from Vicki D.)
We had an annoying urine smell in our basement laundry room. We tried and tried to locate the origin of it and finally determined it was in an area of concrete that we had put an old bathroom rug down for padding, but has since been removed. In one of our floods, it seems the urine must have been in the old bathroom rug and into the concrete. After trial and error, we found Purification dripped right onto the concrete area where the smell is finally took away the smell. YEAH!!!!

4) Skunk smell gone with Purification (from Leslie D.)
Our neighbor's dog was sprayed by a skunk and was unable to eradicate the odor. So we used a one time application of Purification oil blend and the odor was gone!

5) Purification does what chemicals can not for fleas (from Tracy S.)

I was not a 'believer' of using essential oils, but I am now. My son adopted a stray cat and began feeding him. We have three large dogs, so the cat could not come into our house. The stray was plagued by fleas, unbeknownst to us, and each time we pet him, and then came inside- we brought quite a few fleas in with us. It wasn't more than a couple of weeks, when we had a flea infestation in our house. I bombed the house, and applied front line($$), bathed all 3 dogs numerous times, but the fleas never went away.
I had to tell my 5 yr old son, that he couldn't pet his cat, or get near him, because of the fleas. My one dog Marley actually is highly allergic to fleas, and had to be put on steroids.($$$) I had to bomb the house again, and bathe the dogs 3 more times. I was also being bitten, and couldn't sleep. My sister told me to try Purification, and I was skeptical, but at my wits end. I put 2 drops on the necks, and butts of the dogs, diffused it, and actually put 2 drops on the cat’s neck. The FLEAS WERE GONE IN 2 DAYS!!!!! I apply Purification about every 2 weeks to everyone. A side note- the cat now has a beautiful shiny black coat, the discharge is gone from his eyes, and he hasn't been sneezing like he was before. My son is happy- he can pet his cat again, and my house is back to normal. Thank you Purification!

6. Cat urine odor is gone (from Cyndi M.)

Had a very sick cat that urinated on my bedding and pillows. Sprayed everything down well with several drops of Purification in a spray bottle filled with water and the next day hauled everything to the Laundromat. Added 10 drops of Purification to both the wash and rinse cycles and put several drops on a washcloth which I added to the dryer. All cat odors are gone, even from my down pillows.

II. PEACE & CALMING- is a blend of essential oils that is useful for easing anxiety, separation issues, stress and fear. (Not for CATS! Great on kids & adults)

 ~ Apply 1-2 drops of Peace and calming on your wrists or hands, and then pet your animal to calm it down. Oils may also be applied to the back of the neck or to the paws.  (Only 1 method of application is necessary.) Another option is to apply a drop to the back of your Dogs collar or bandana. For cats use a 1:10 dilution.

Below are a few stories from pet owners who use peace & calming:

1. Calming a dog (from Judy H.)

While traveling, our dog was all over the van and barking. I told my son to put Peace & Calming on the bottom of all four paws. Within a minute, the dog laid down in my lap

2. Nervous dog controlled by Peace & Calming (from Sondra G.)

I use Peace & Calming on my kids. I tried it on the dog when he went nuts about a lawnmower outside. He calmed down and now I use it on the all- the kids and the dogs, too!

3. Peace & Calming relaxed my dog (from Shelley D.)

I had my beautiful golden retriever spayed at 6 months old. She is by nature very calm and gentle. Of course the surgery and stitches were upsetting to her, so to help keep her calm through the first night and 2nd day, I misted Peace & Calming around her whenever she got restless. This allowed her to get the rest and sleep her body needed to heal quickly from the surgery. To spray the mist, I bought an inexpensive glass perfume purse sprayer at the drug store, almost filled it with spring water, and then put in about 3 drops of Peace and Calming. That was it, and it worked great.

4. For the anxious or fearful pet (from Darlene J.)

As a vet tech it’s my job to assist the doctor in holding and calming the pets for their exam. I have found that just a touch of Peace and Calming or Valor on my wrists works wonders in making our nervous patients more relaxed. In fact, I have discovered that diffusing these oils during a thunderstorm is very soothing for my animals. Best of all, it doesn't matter if it is my 4LB poodle or my 1200LB horse, they all respond to the wonderful aroma and calming properties of these oils.

5. Peace and Calming to the rescue! (from Jenny L.)

I have been wearing Peace and Calming in a diffuser necklace at the local animal shelter where I volunteer every Monday. I have found that certain animals will press their faces right into my necklace as long as I stay where they can reach it. I see such a difference in these animals so much that sometimes they try to follow me out the door when I try to leave their rooms. I now keep Peace and Calming in my practitioner's office so that when a stressed out animal comes to see me I am ready for them!

III. LAVENDER- is an essential oil that is calming and helps ease tension and promote relaxation. It may help ease skin irritations. Apply to minor abrasions and burns to help disinfect and promote healing.  Lavender Oil is a natural insect repellent. Lavender will work to repel fleas, ticks and other insects. (It will not kill them.) Application is the same as peace and calming. Safe for all animals. (Adults, kids and babies too)

Below are some stories of how pet owners use lavender:

1. Lavender helped allergic rash (from Vallea R.)

Lavender oil really helped support my new poodle pup suffering from horrific allergic reaction to flea spit. I diluted 50/50 and rubbed on affected areas. The itching and licking stopped plus the redness, swelling is gone. And he smelled so wonderful while detoxing from awful chemical flea killers

2. Help the animals (from Burnelleane E.)    

I use Lavender oil on my cats. It helps the animals coat but also helps keep them flea clean. since they are in/out cats this is a great help.

3. Skin Irritation in Dogs and natural flea prevention in my home (from Ann B.)

One of the most common causes of skin irritation and scratching in dogs is fleas. I use Lavender oil to sooth irritated skin and also help to prevent infection. Simply add 5-10 drops of Lavender oil to your dog’s shampoo and shake. You may also use a lavender spray and mist your dog before you go out on a walk. I also add drops of Lavender oil to my carpet shampoo solution. These are just some ideas to repel fleas using Lavender.

IV. ANIMALS SCENTS SHAMPOO- cleans, protects, and conditions your pet's coat without the harmful ingredients often found in pet care products. This all-natural shampoo contains five powerful essential oils, which are blended to gently cleanse, increase luster, and enhance grooming.

1. Animal Scents pet shampoo helped fire ant bites

I winter in North Carolina from Michigan. My peek-a-poo dog dug up a huge mound of fire ants just after we arrived, thinking it was just a good soft place to dig. They were everywhere on her and she got about 15-20 bites on her tummy and hind quarters. She itched so badly she lost most of her fur (and she is one fuzzy dog) I didn't know how to help her. I had received the animal scents pet shampoo just before I had left and decided it was worth a try for she needed a bath anyway. What a difference! Soon as she dried thoroughly she had stopped itching. She acted so relieved. Her fur stopped falling out and she smelled so good on top of it all. In a week or so I could see new growth of healthy hair and she was a happy dog again. Now, that is the only shampoo I use on her for all the others, no matter how fancy a brand, make her itch after she dries and animal scents shampoo does not. The clean scent lasts about 2 weeks on her too which makes me a happy dog owner.

2.  I love animal scents shampoo (from Evelyn.)

I use Young Living’s Animal Scents Pet Shampoo. Not only does he smell terrific but the scent of the pure essential oils keeps flea’s and ticks away. He loves being groomed, and actually loves having a bath, which he gets once a month. I would think that having a bath that often with these products contributes greatly to keeping those nasty insects off of him.

V. ANIMALS SCENTS OINTMENT- is blended with Melaleuca alternifolia and myrrh, two of nature's most powerful essential oils. It is a protective and soothing salve formulated for external use on animals. Typically used for minor skin irritations, cuts, and abrasions, the rich blend of ingredients is effective yet gentle and safe, so you can soothe your pets without using harmful chemicals or synthetic products.

1. Cracked paw pads (from Nicole B.)

Two weeks ago, I was due to go visit a client and work with her dog. When I got there, she informed me that her dog had been lame for hours, and she was unsure if we would go ahead and work with her. I inspected her paw pads and feet, and discovered that one paw pad had a pretty deep crack in it.
We took out Animal Scents, and slathered her foot with it, making sure to get it in the crack. I rubbed her foot, and her leg up and down to get the circulation going. 20 MINUTES LATER, she was no longer lame! Because she now applies Animal Scents every day, the dogs paws are soft to the touch and don't crack. Using Animal Scents before you take your dog out in winter also helps protect their feet against the salt and elements.

2. Animal Scents helped with cat's ear (from Nicole B.)

Several weeks ago, I noticed that my cat Vinny had scratched off a patch of fur on his ear. Upon closer inspection, he had what looked like bite or scratch marks on his ear, and they had bled. He and my other cat play pretty rough! It wasn't bleeding anymore by the time I noticed it, but I grabbed the Animal Scents and started putting it on. Later that day, I noticed he wasn't scratching at his ear anymore. The next day, the sores were almost gone. On the third day, not only were they completely gone, but the hair started to grow back on his ear!

VI. THIEVES HOUSEHOLD CLEANER- is a “green” multi-purpose cleaner. This ecologically friendly, plant-based cleaner contains Thieves essential oil blend plus additional therapeutic-grade lemon oil for extra cleaning power. The Thieves Cleaner is very highly concentrated and is very cost effective. Use this cleaner to clean and wash floors, counter tops, sinks, toilet bowls, pet cages and crates, refrigerators, ovens, stove tops, porch cleaning, wiping down outdoor furniture, horses, dogs, carpet spills, fruit, pet dishes, and so much more!  The scent is so delicious! It safe for you and your family (pets included) and is good for the planet.

1. I love Thieves cleaner! (from Allyson)                                                                                           I use thieves cleaner (and purification) to remove the odors and stains in my basement as a result of my 4 dogs. It works wonderful and is safe for my kids and all of my pets. When I clean with it my entire house looks and smells clean! I use it on every surface of my home, in the barn, and even in my car.

2. You never have to worry with Thieves Cleaner. ( From Jana) 

I HAVE FOUND THAT USING THIS CLEANER IN MY KENNELS IS SO MUCH BETTER FOR MY DOGS THAN BLEACH OR OTHER KENNEL CLEANERS I HAVE USED IN THE PAST.  YOU NEVER HAVE TO WORRY THAT THE DOGS BREATH IN, STEP IN OR INGEST ANY OF THE THIEVES HOUSEHOLD CLEANER!  I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE FUMES WITH MY INFANT PUPPIES AND FEEL CONFIDENT IT IS DISINFECTING ALL THE GERMS SO MY PUPPIES DON'T GET THE DREADED PARVOVIRUS OR ANY OTHER GERMS FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES.

3. Thieves Cleaner-WOW! Thieves Household Cleaner and cat urine odor . (from Katrina)

Living with three cats means there are pee accidents from time to time. One of my cats also likes to mark territory in the house. If you have cats you know what that can smell like. I've used commercial products claiming to remove the smell, but none has worked as well as Thieves Household Cleaner! I'm so relieved to have found something that removes the odor!

THE INFORMATION PRESENTED ABOVE IS NOT TO DIAGNOSE OR PRESCRIBE. THIS INFORMATION GIVES MANY OPTIONS AND THINGS TO TRY. RESULTS WILL VARY; EACH ANIMAL IS UNIQUE, JUST AS PEOPLE ARE. YOU CAN USE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH YOUR VETERINARY TREATMENT. THE GOAL IS TO FIND NATURAL SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR PET!

"Pain, Pain Go away and DON'T come back another day!"

PAIN??? A Suggestions using Young Living Essential Oils and supplements.

A non-toxic approach to health and wellness!

Many of the essential oils are helpful with arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis. In acute painful conditions when tendinitis symptoms occur, immediate application of a cold compress or ice is appropriate. For chronic complaints of tendinitis, daily application of a therapeutic essential oil blend will help to alleviate discomfort and to prevent further swelling and pain. However, rest of the affected joint is crucial for complete remedy of this ailment.

Sulfurzyme, is a supplement formulated with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), which equalizes water pressure inside the cells. The cell protein envelope then will allow water transfer in and out freely. When water pressure is higher inside the cells than outside, it creates pain.

PanAway is a blend of wintergreen which has an active principle similar to cortisone, clove which contains eugenol and is used synthetically by dentists to numb gums, peppermint which is calming for nerves, and helichrysum which is soothing to localized discomfort. Many people have had relief from arthritis symptoms, sports injuries, sprains, muscle spasms, bumps and bruises. Apply on location for muscles, cramps, bruises, compress on the spine and Vita Flex points on the feet. To relieve a headache rub a couple drops of PanAway on the back of the neck, on temples or forehead, and inhale. Create a soothing compress by rubbing 1-3 drops of PanAway on location, cover with a warm cloth. Leave for 30 minutes. Apply PanAway on location for muscles, cramps, bruises, compress on spine, rub on reflexology points of feet.

Relieve it This is a great companion with PanAway when alternated for deep tissue pain that is not bone related. Apply on location anywhere for pain. This blend contains: Spruce, Pepper, Hyssop and Peppermint.

Deep Relief This is a favorite of many! This unique blend offers amazing support for sore and tense muscles, soothes sore joints and ligaments, helps calm stressed nerves, and helps reduce inflammation. It comes in a portable roll-on applicator which makes it easy to transport and use through-out the day. Especially powerful on tight neck muscles.

Helichrysum and Lemongrass also make a powerful combination for repairing torn ligaments. Apply 3 drops Helichrysum on sore places, more if needed. Reduces pain through its anti-inflammatory qualities. Assists with tissue regeneration, improves skin conditions and circulatory function. PanAway has helichrysum in it.

The oils in Ortho Sport and Ortho Ease Massage Oils also assist the healing process. Ortho Ease massage oil was designed to soothe muscle aches and minor swelling. INGREDIENTS: Grapeseed oil, wheatgerm oil, sweet almond oil, olive oil, wheatgerm oil, vitamin E, and pure therapeutic-grade essential oils of birch, juniper, marjoram, red thyme, vetiver, peppermint, eucalyptus Australian and lemongrass. Ortho Sport massage oil is designed for both professional and amateur athletes. It is a stronger version of Ortho Ease with higher phenol content, which may produce a greater warming sensation. It is designed for soothing strained muscles and ligaments. INGREDIENTS: Oils of wheatgerm, grapeseed, olive, sweet almond, vitamin E, and the pure therapeutic-grade essential oils of birch, oregano, marjoram, red thyme, peppermint, Eucalyptus globulus, lemongrass, vetiver, and elemi.

There are so many other options. Remember, one oil will work for a multitude of situations!
As I say, "Use what you've got!!"

A story from Lou Ann- "I have lived with back & leg pain for close to 20 yrs. I tried muscle relaxers, pain killers, acupuncture, you name it I tried it. Got hooked on the oils and after 2 years I'm pain free. I use all the mint oils----peppermint, spearmint, lemongrass. Good luck and use them everyday."

If you are looking for pain relief and want to stay away from prescription and OTC Medications - essential oils will help support your body! Essential oil testimonials are an effective way of learning and sharing. With this knowledge, we can take control of our own health. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Products and techniques mentioned here are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. However, when you give the body what it needs then the body can heal itself as God intended it to.

Update: 2 weeks "post" nutritive cleanse

A lot of people have asked me about Young Living 5 Day Nutritive Cleanse and the "after" effects. Here is a brief overview as well as an update.

Why a cleanse?? A cleanse is a great way to detoxify your body, jump start weight loss, help gain control of your eating, support your body, and clear your mind.... you will feel "better"! In small quantities the body is able to naturally process and destroy toxins. But with so much chemical and toxin exposure now occurring, your body maybe struggling to keep up. These environmental impurities can build up inside you, clogging and damaging cells. Over time these toxins could cause or aggravate a range of health problems and affect weight loss efforts.The benefits are endless... 

The 5 day cleanse was gentle and not at all like I "imagined". I completed Young Living's 5 day Cleanse two weeks ago. The cleanse consists of taking a Digest & Cleanse supplement, a shake made with Balance Meal , and  2 oz. of Ningxia Red three times per day. You can elect to supplement the cleanse with the recommended snacks three times per day. The snacks consist of  raw veggies (like broccoli or celery), fresh fruit (like blueberries, apples, or pear), or nuts/nut butter. Even though you are not eating much food you are still consuming 33 grams of protein and 33 grams of fiber per day as well as many other nutrients – so your body  receives what it needs throughout the day. NingXia Red is a powerful antioxidant drink (low on the glycemic index; no added sugar or caffeine) which helps sustain your energy as well as build your immunity. The Digest & Cleanse offers support for your colon and intestinal tract and eases gas, bloating, and cramps. The Balance Complete provide your body with protein, fiber and essential nutrients.

My findings: I experienced a mild headache on day 2, so I  suggest starting on a day/week when you do not have a lot going on. I experienced waves of hunger every day but for the most part I thought it would be a lot harder! I never had an upset stomach. I did miss eating meals but it was really interesting as well as empowering to take a break from food; I was able to really think about what I eat and why. My eating HABITS have changed  - I realize how much I "pick" at food while preparing meals for my family.  Another major change is I am no longer "needing" the coffee, ice cream etc....  I  actually lost 5 pounds in those 5 days but once I started eating meals again 2 came back on – which was not a surprise to me at all. (I do not really need to lose weight. My friend lost and kept off 8 lbs!!)  During the cleanse I only exercised once which was enough for my body to handle. For those looking to lose weight, after the cleanse, continue to drink the balance complete 2x a day and have a reasonable dinner. Your body will get what it needs while restricting calories.

I am really happy with the 5 Day Nutritive Cleanse. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to jump start  weight loss, change some bad eating habits, or for anyone who is  "ready" to try a cleanse. I will do this cleanse again in 4 months.  **I  think this would be a great cleanse to do before the holidays to help me stay on track with the kinds of food I want to be eating. It really does make you "think" about what you eat and your cravings for junk food fade.

Here is a link to the YL brochure for more info  https://www.youngliving.org/US/pdfs/lit-5_day_cleanse.pdf

Have you ever stopped to think about all the chemicals you are exposed to on a daily basis. What is the cumulative effect they will have on your body and your health over a year, 5 years, 10 years or over the course of your life??

Use non-toxic products whenever possible! 

Do your own research and find out what is best for you and your family.

Do you suffer from Constant Fatigue???

Do you suffer from Constant Fatigue???
When blood is loaded with toxins due to a weak and inefficient
liver, there is limited capacity for the blood to carry oxygen and
nutrients which are necessary for energy production. The result is
constant fatigue. A clean and efficient liver which produces
cleaner blood would help energy production because clean blood can
carry more oxygen and nutrients. Clean blood is also lighter; it
flows better and results in better blood circulation.

I am in the midst of a 5 day nutritive cleanse, the link below to my facebook page. I've heard so much about cleanses lately- seems to be the "in" thing!  I have talked to different people who have participated in this cleanse and each person experienced something different! Brain fog lifted, circulation improved, less sugar cravings, overall increase in energy, less muscle fatigue!! I will let you know how I feel when its done!!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Yours-in-Health/213586265369334

Documenting this process. Hope I can inspire others to try something to jump start them to
try something new to support good health!

Essential Oils: Switches off the restless leg twitches

One of my all time favorite essential oil blends is Deep Relief. It works wonders on easing neck tension, often diminishes headaches, stops the itch and swelling associated with bug bites, feels soothing when applied, and this latest story (link below) tells about how it helps ease leg twitches. I just received a phone call on Monday from Julie!! She shared her experience with the Deep Relief. Julie has neck issues and had a fusion. Julie told me she wakes up stiff and often with headaches. She has been applying the Deep Relief essential oil blend from Young Living and "POOF!" - no more morning headaches!  No drugs needed! She has found the oil really helps her!! She called me to get a back up so she does not run out! Thanks Julie for sharing!! So happy it is helping you.

If you ask me why I am passionate about Essential Oils my answer is, "Because they work! By sharing what I know, I truly am helping people discover they have a choice about supporting their health without always reaching  for toxic drugs. Finding your own balance is important, but if it was me and you knew about the power of essential oils, I certainly hope you would share what you know too!"

Yours in Health, Ann!

Essential Oils: Switches off the restless leg twitches

Peppermint for Headaches and more

I recently received this link from a client. I love how it edifies the power of essential oils! I equally enjoy how it refers to other uses for peppermint essential oil. Remember...When selecting essential oils be aware that the purity of an oil is key!!

http://undergroundhealthreporter.com/natural-headache-remedy-peppermint-oil#axzz1tXHJCNzQ
QUESTION:  If you had a choice between drinking one of these which would you chose:
 CUP A is pure water
 CUP B 50% polluted water & 50% pure water.

ANSWER= CUP A!

The same holds true for using an essential oil.  The quality and purity of an essential oil are important. That is why I only use and promote Young Living Essential oils. If an oil is not pure it is substandard and often will not support the body as intended.

LAVENDER

Young Living's Lavender Essential oil can be used for so many things. It is one oil I always carry with me. I have used it to soothe bug bites, promote relaxation, to ease seasonal allergies, ease headache tension, reduce pressure in the ears when flying and more.  Simply allow 1-2 drops to fall into your hand and apply onto your forehead, base of your spine, and on the cheek bones. We recently used lavender (instead of antibiotic ointment) on my son's scraped knees - it is antibacterial, helps promote healing, and is calming!  http://www.youngliving.com/essential-oils/Lavender 

BUG OFF

I have learned that many essential oils can be used as a bug repellent! Citronella, Lemongrass, and Eucalyptus blended together with some water and witch hazel not only smells good- it works good too!

Purification blend also is another great oil to have this summer!!

ABOUT PURIFICATION
~Is a great oil to put on stings and bites. Especially wonderful on bee stings.
~Helps neutralize toxins from most bites- ticks included.
~TICKS- use purification on your dog weekly to avoid ticks and fleas. Works well on people too!
~Purification neutralizes odors- rub on the bottom of stinky feet- or place a few drops on a cotton ball and place in your shoes overnight.
~Purify the air:simply add 10-20 drops in a small 4-6 oz spray bottle - fill with water and spritz. (cigarette smoke and other odors will be dissipated)
~Neutralize Litter boxes by adding 5-10 drops into baking soda and sprinkle in litter box; Use the same mixture- sprinkle on carpets and vacuum.
~SKUNK spray- use purification in Dog's shampoo (I would guess several drops) to remove odor.
~Diffuse prior to going to bed to help remove allergens from the air that may cause night time allergies.
~Rub across cheeks and under nose to help fight the symptoms of seasonal allergies. (may need to dilute on sensitive skin)
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Products and techniques mentioned here are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. However, when you give the body what it needs then the body can heal itself as God intended it to.

One drop of THIEVES oil keeps the toilet bowl clean.

Thieves essential oil is one of the most versatile oils I have used. It can be used on cold sores, to prevent the spread of germs, to destroy mold, to neutralize airborne germs, to prevent the spread of infection, to help prevent and diminish gum disease, to provide your body with an immune boost ,  and so much more.

I picked up this helpful hint and I thought- what a good idea!!! I found this on a testimonial website and wanted to pass along yet another way to use thieves essential oil!

"I put a drop of Thieves oil in the toilet while we were away for a week and when we returned the toilets looked like I had just cleaned them. Usually a pink tinge from bacteria is at the water line and the bowl under the waterline is an even lighter pink. Sparkling clean!"

I have stopped uses all toxic chemicals and cleaners. For my toilet cleaning (not a fun job at all)  I use Thieves household cleaner and white vinegar, followed by some baking soda... a good scrub and flush away. After the bowl refills I add a drop of lemon essential oil and we are good to go! (no pun intended.)

Yours in Health,  Ann!
