Why You Should be Diffusing at Night

Friends, there is hardly ever a time not to diffuse! 


Here are some good reasons to add diffusing to your nighttime routine.

 1. The humidity will help your breathing, especially in the winter when the heater is running. Add one drop each of peppermint, lavender, and lemon, or try RC, Raven, or one of the eucalyptus oils to get the full benefit.

2. Adding certain essentials oil will help you relax and sleep more soundly. Here are a few  suggestions: lavender, valerian, Stress Away, Peace and Calming


3. Boost your immunity while you sleep. Thieves is my personal go-to for immunity support I sometimes add orange just because it smells great while still doing all good stuff.  Frankincense is a good on its own or with Thieves.

 4.  Do you need any more reasons? Just kidding! DREAMS- really. Some essential oils may help you in this area are Dream Catcher and sandalwood.


5. Do-over. sometimes I need an emotional reset at the end of the day. Stress Away and orange is one of my favorites when I have had the kind of day that makes it hard to unwind. Ylang Ylang is uplifting and relaxing. Perfect when need to rest and feel hopeful and peaceful. Lavender is balancing, chamomile is another emotionally calming choice.

 Below is a list of oils known to have some benefit for sleep. 

 Lavender, orange, ylang-ylang, chamomile, Stress Away, Peace and Calming, valerian, marjoram, cedarwood, frankincense, sandalwood, & bergamot.

 One of the best things about essential oils is that they benefit more body systems than just the one you may be using it for! 


sleep upon his eyes…sleep in a swift wave
delivering him from all his pains and labours,
blessed sleep that seals his eyes at last.
(Homer, Odyssey, 5.544-7)

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
