Healthy Hair - Natural Support

Hair is sort of a big deal to me. I have always had thick hair for a blonde. But I started losing hair in my mid-forties and it freaked me out!  I immediately started researching reasons for my sudden shedding. 

The main reason women around my age start losing hair is hormones. I know... Finding supplements to help me balance my body was my new mission. Well, it was super easy. 

The first thing I tried was right on target, Progessence Plus. I added Endoflex a few months later to support my endocrine system and I have been a happy camper ever since in the hormone department. 

After I that I began looking for good hair products that were natural, safe and nourished my dry straw-like mane.

The first thing I added to my routine was Cedarwood essential oil. A few drops on my scalp after I wash my hair and a quick scalp massage and that's it! It smells amazing! Look up all the benefits for hair. I add one drop to my mascara tube along with one drop lavender and shake it up. You will not regret it!

I since tossed my toxic products I began using Young Living's shampoo and conditioner. They are so concentrated they last forever even with my long mop! I have tried all their shampoos and conditioners, and for my hair, the copaiba products are the best. If you have normal, fine, or oily hair you might want to try the lavender or lavender mint options. There is even a volumizing option! They all smell amazing. 

Personally, I dilute both the shampoo and conditioner by half.  A little squirt in my palm and massaged into my scalp is all that is needed for the shampoo. Did you know that shampoo is really for your scalp, and conditioner is for your hair?  I just let the shampoo rinse through my hair and that's all I need. The conditioner is worked through my wet hair and I let it sit for about 2 minutes while I wash my face etc. Then rinse it out. After I towel dry my hair I sometimes will use about two peas worth of conditioner and work it through my ends and leave it in. It is great protections if you use straighteners or curling irons. 



If you are switching from traditional hair products you may need to give you body some time to adjust. I found there was A LOT of build up on my hair. It actually looked dingy for a few washings. After combing with a fine comb I discovered that it was a waxy buildup that was breaking down. Once I got it all off my hair was shiny, full and much softer!

Raindrop Roller

Most of us who have been with Young Living know the amazing benefits of the Raindrop Technique for overall wellness and immune system support.  There is great training available to learn the technique and many videos too.  But in a pinch, this roller is a great item to have in your oily toolkit to keep your family above the wellness line.  Since we have one child with a rare disease who cannot have over the counter meds, this is our only defense. When anyone starts to dip down into illness. This roller comes out. We roll it down our spine and on the bottoms of our feet. I repeat at least 3 times a day. Usually, it only takes a day or two to be back into wellness!

Thyroid Support & Young Living

Image
I did a post for my private Facebook group recently on Thyroid support. That little thyroid sure does affect every part of our bodies! I personally have Hashimoto Thyroiditis. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. It is hereditary for me and we have many generations with hypothyroidism on my mother's side of the family.  There are many supplements that support the thyroid, but I am going to highlight my personal top 4. 1)Endoflex - supports the entire endocrine system. Apply over the thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, vitaflex on feet, can be ingested and diffused. I apply to my thyroid and adrenals (kidney area on my back) morning and night.  2)Sulfurzyme - this is a capsule, I take 1-2 in the morning and night. This supports the entire body, helps the immune system, and joints (includi ng my back!)  3)Thyromin - Another capsule, I take two at night. Developed by Gary Young who no longer has a thyroid. This does not force thyroid to certain levels, it supports

My Version of the Aroma Lift Massage

Image
Be Kind. I know I am not a super model. I simply don't know of a better way to explain the massage than to show you.  So here it is.  What's the big deal? For me it is an overall smooth youthful appearance. I'm less puffy and my skin seems brighter and tighter. But the biggest thing I have noticed is how it helps with the stiffness I would feel in the back of my neck and along my clavicle. When I feel congested or the beginning of a sinus headache this really helps too!  More info below the video. Remember be gentle! We want to reduce fine lines and heavy handed pulling will be counterproductive. :)  I'm using the Aroma Life blend from Young Living.  I put it in a little roller bottle to make it easier to apply.  This is a great blend to use for any lymphatic massage you may want to try. I have used it to support my lymph system when I had some swelling in my ankles too! Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), marjoram (Origanum majorana), Helichrysum
