Immune Support for the Holidays

(Disclaimer: I am not prescribing or giving medical advice. It is always good to go to your doctor. I am sharing my personal experiences. Also when using essential oils on the skin always test for sensitivity and use a carrier oil like coconut or even olive oil if you need to.) 

 Everyone I know is getting sick! ICK! It's the holiday rush, stress, fluctuating weather patterns, people overload at every store... Our systems need a little extra TLC this time of year. Here is where I start.

 Give your immune system the big guns with a one-two punch of Inner Defence and Thieves essential oil blend. 

I take an Inner Defence softgel morning and night and apply Thieves to my feet if I feel the slightest tickle in my throat or drip in my nose.  Thieves is great to diffuse I add a drop of it to my Christmas spirit and get yummy smells and wellness support.

If it is too late and you are below the wellness line still do both of those things above, but we need to add a few more big players to our team. 

Raven is one. The combination of Ravintsara, lemon, wintergreen, peppermint, and eucalyptus radiata is a winner! This can be diffused and applied to the chest. 


This next one I keep in my purse, on my nightstand, and my kitchen wellness kit. Thieves cough drops give you the benefit of the Thieves oil in a lozenge. Your body will thank you! 

NingXia Red is part of our everyday wellness but when we start to drag or dip past that wellness line we up our intake. 

Sulfurzyme is another great all-around team player. It supports everything! My family takes this every day and up the intake when we feel puny.

Frankincense is another that can do so much. And it is a vitality which means it can be ingested. Remember a single drop is a dose! This one we apply to our feet along with Thieves.  


Tummy support! Because we tend to overeat or eat things we normally wouldn't this time of year. 

For the littles Tummygize. If you are a big person Digize and peppermint are going to make you feel human again! Alkalime is another that will normalize the tummy and let you keep on enjoying grandma's cookies and eggnog. Peppermint and Digize both come as a vitality and you can drop them in water to help the tummy as well as applying topically. 

A few last thoughts about wellness. 
🎄Try to get a bit more sleep. 
🎄Take a few minutes to stop, breathe, pray, recenter. 
🎄 Take a bath with lavender to unwind, Raven to support our wellness, or try one of the new bath bombs!




I pray you have a wonder Holiday full of loved ones, cherished times, and memories to last.

Raindrop Roller

Image
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
