Deep Blue Love

Posted on by

 

Popping in to share a little about one of my favorite oils, Deep Blue.

So, what is Deep Blue good for?

    • Muscle pain
    • Back pain
    • Join pain
    • Arthritis pain
    • Bruises
    • Migraines
    • Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
    • TMJ disorder
    • Sprains

So, basically, PAIN!

If you’ve got a pain, Deep Blue could quite possibly be your new best friend!

The last time I went out shakin’ my booty my knees, which just aren’t so new anymore, were aching before the first song ended.  When, oh when did I get this old???

Slipped into the bathroom and rubbed on some Deep Blue oil and continued to dance the night away.  No problem the next morning either!  Woo Hoo!

Of course, I could go on and on about how I’ve used this fast immediate acting oil, but I bet you just want to know how to get YOUR hands on some of this stuff, huh?  You can do that on my oil site.

So there you have it – if you’ve got pain, or know anyone who has pain, ditch the pills and get your hands on some Deep Blue!

 

Of course, as always, the FDA, FBI, CIA, and whoever else is into keeping you from the health info that actually works, has not approved this message!  So, I can’t say this stuff actually works, but, you know…

Stay Healthy Without a Flu Shot This Season

Posted on by

Avoid the Flu with Essential OilsNo one wants to get the flu, that’s for sure, and driving around town may give you the impression that you need to get a flu shot if you want to avoid the achy, sweaty, fluid expelling experience you’ve had in the past.  Even if you are one of the few people who doesn’t mind getting shots, there are other reasons to avoid this vaccine and easy ways to stay healthy without it.

 

Why Avoid the Flu Shot?

  • The flu shot is not particularly effective – a recent study of studies indicates that the flu shot prevents flu in a whopping 1.5 out of 100 adults.  This is primarily due to the fact that the 3-4 strains of flu (out of millions) in the vaccine is a best guess based on historical data of which strains will be circulating this year.  And since the strains change over time, the pharmaceutical companies are really chasing a moving target.  One article I read stated that “the effectiveness of the flu shot has ranged from 70% to 90% when there is a good match between the circulating viruses and those in the vaccine”.  The problem is, there is rarely a good match!
  • The flu shot comes with some pretty toxic preservatives including Ethylene glycol (antifreeze), Formaldehyde (uh, not dead yet!) Aluminum (Alzheimer’s anyone?), and Thimerosal (mercury).  Mercury is especially troubling because it builds up over time and affects the neurological system causing lots of side effects including memory and balance problems.
  • The flu shot also contains antibiotics, which mess up your gut flora and decreases your immunity, not what you want to do going into cold and flu season.

 

How to Prevent the Flu Naturally:

  • Wash your hands!  This is the single-most effective thing you can do to prevent illness in Hand washing, best line of defenseyourself and to avoid spreading it to others.
  • Take care of yourself: get enough rest, eat a healthy diet with lots of leafy greens, and exercise.
  • Drink plenty of water with lemon essential oil in it – this flushes your system and boosts your immunity.
  • Take quality supplements that have plenty of Vitamin D3.
  • Use OnGuard essential oil blend to boost your immune system – this blend has been proven to increase immunity when used consistently.

 

The Flu Bomb with doTERRAHow to Get Better Fast if You Get the Flu:

  • Stay home and rest!  Seriously, no one wants what you have, and will get by just fine without you.
  • Use essential oils right away.  Here is a simple recipe that will get you back on your feet in a little over a day.  Called the “Flu Bomb”, it is simply 4 drops Lemon, 2 drops Melaleuca, 2 drops Oregano, and 2 drops OnGuard in a capsule.  Take one capsule morning, noon, and night until symptoms are gone.  (These recommendations only apply to Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils.  These are the only oils tested to make sure the therapeutic constituents you are counting on are there in the right amounts.)
  • Flush your system with water and lemon essential oil.

 

Rather than contributing to your toxic load this season for a slight chance at avoiding the flu, go the natural route this year.  Not only will you avoid the needle, you’ll be staving off more than just the flu since these recommendations apply to all sorts of nasty bugs.  By taking care of yourself you will also have more energy and feel great all winter long.

Gratitude as a Healing Practice

Posted on by

The practice of gratitude as a tool for happiness has been in the mainstream for years. Long-term studies support gratitude’s effectiveness, suggesting that a positive, appreciative attitude contributes to greater success in work, greater health, peak performance in sports and business, a higher sense of well-being, and a faster rate of recovery from surgery.

But while we may acknowledge gratitude’s many benefits, it still can be difficult to sustain. So many of us are trained to notice what is broken, undone or lacking in our lives. And for gratitude to meet its full healing potential in our lives, it needs to become more than just a Thanksgiving word. We have to learn a new way of looking at things, a new habit. And that can take some time.

That’s why practicing gratitude makes so much sense. When we practice giving thanks for all we have, instead of complaining about what we lack, we give ourselves the chance to see all of life as an opportunity and a blessing.

Remember that gratitude isn’t a blindly optimistic approach in which the bad things in life are whitewashed or ignored. It’s more a matter of where we put our focus and attention. Pain and injustice exist in this world, but when we focus on the gifts of life, we gain a feeling of well-being. Gratitude balances us and gives us hope.

There are many things to be grateful for: bright spring flowers, friends who listen and really hear, chocolate, refreshing rains, strawberries, the ability to read, our health, butterflies. What’s on your list?

Some Ways to Practice Gratitude

•  Keep a gratitude journal in which you list things for which you are thankful. You can make daily, weekly or monthly lists. Greater frequency may be better for creating a new habit, but just keeping that journal where you can see it will remind you to think in a grateful way.

•  Make a gratitude collage by drawing or pasting pictures.

•  Practice gratitude around the dinner table or make it part of your nighttime routine.

•  Make a game of finding the hidden blessing in a challenging situation.

•  When you feel like complaining, make a gratitude list instead. You may be amazed by how much better you feel.

•  Notice how gratitude is impacting your life. Write about it, sing about it, express thanks for gratitude.

As you practice, an inner shift begins to occur, and you may be delighted to discover how content and hopeful you are feeling. That sense of fulfillment is gratitude at work.

America’s Drug Problem

Posted on by

America has a serious drug problem.  I’m not referring to illegal street drugs, I’m talking about FDA approved, Dr. prescribed pharmaceuticals given to children.  Yes, children!  In an article on NaturalNews.com Monica G. Young states that there are “20 million kids worldwide diagnosed with mental disorders, necessitating psychiatric drugs for years or life”.

I disagree with the practice of drugging these kids on so many different levels.  First, why are we expecting such young people to sit quietly for hours on end?  Why do we think there is something wrong with them when they can’t?  If this article is correct, and 50% of African American boys in some schools are being referred for these drugs, what is wrong with our system of education?  Why can’t we design schools to fit children rather than drugging children to fit school?  Our society needs to reconsider what normal child behavior is and stop giving our children toxic chemicals to conform.

Since our school system will not be fixed overnight, if you have one of these precious children in your life, please consider alternatives before succumbing to the pressures from the schools and doctors.  We don’t yet know what long-term damage we are doing to these children, but I do know that we can help them with essential oils.  Vetiver, Balance, Serenity, and Frankincense have been used with great success for ADHD and Autism.  These oils have no negative side effects while helping people of all ages focus and calm the mind.

I can help figure out what works best for your child and together we can keep our kids off drugs!

A New Way to a Healthier You

Posted on by

I believe that a healthy body is essential to an enjoyable life.  I believe that looks different on everyone, and it isn’t necessarily related to the size of your body.  We all know that eating right and moving our body are essential for staying healthy.  But did you know that your physical body is reflecting what’s happening emotionally?

If you feel you are carrying too much weight and don’t feel healthy because of it, I can help.  It may be your negative core beliefs that are holding you back from your goals.

There’s a lot going on subconsciously that we can clear during a weight loss session.  We will release old, negative inner tapes and we will plug in new, positive affirmations that support you on your journey.  Together we can make weight loss a fun and empowering time for you instead of a struggle.

In addition to clearing your energy around why you haven’t been successful in the past, I will hook you up with an oil blend that will give you the extra support you need to balance your metabolism.  It’s not a dangerous diet pill, but rather support for your entire system so you can be successful this time around.
While it’s too late to enter the contest referred to above, you can still be a winner in your own right any time you decide.  It really can be easier than you think to regain your health (and your figure!).
