ALLERGY TIME AGAIN

By

DIFFUSING will help allergies immensely. Diffusing Essential Oils will actually clean the air. Young Living Essential Oils to diffuse for allergies are:

Lavender – looks like the number 1 essential oil go to for allergies
Hinoki – great for respiratory problems and any bug problems!
Basil – talk about breathing better, I love this oil diffused
RC – use this blend to breath better
Eucalyptus – blend this with other essential oils everyday
Purification – really cleans the air (try it along your nose for allergies) for itching, too
Clove – this oil will remove cat dander out of the air

I will always use citrus essential oils to blend with the above oils. My favorites are Lemon and Lime.
Here are some Young Living Essential Oil blends I put together:

7 drops @ Lavender, Basil, Lime
7 drops @ Lavender, Hinoki, Lemon
7 drops @ Lavender, Basil, Eucalyptus, Lemon
7 drops @ Clove, Lemon, Orange
7 drops @ Basil, RC, Citrus Fresh
7 drops @ Purification, Hinoki, Lime

Really, just go crazy and make it up, it all smells good and does a great job!

Try this NASAL SPRAY for possible allergy relief made with Young Living Essential Oils.
Use a 2 oz. Nasal spray bottle. (Amazon)
Add: 2 drops @ Lavender and Copaiba (for inflammation)
1 drop Tea Tree Essential Oils
4 drops of a carrier oil (like grape seed oil)
Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water. Always shake before using.

SOOTHING NOSE 👃🏽SWAB

2oz. organic virgin coconut oil. (Nutiva. Thrive Market, Amazon, Whole Foods) 🌴

5 drops Tea tree 

8 drops Lavender

4 drops Basil

2 drops Eucalyptus 

1 drops Peppermint 

20 drops 💧total

In a glass jar put 2oz. of coconut oil. Put the tightly closed jar in hot water until it melts. This is so the essential oils can be mixed easily. When the coconut oil turns liquid add the drops of essential oils. Mix well. Now every morning and or night you can mix the oils in the jar with a q-tip and swab the inside of your nose. This may help protect against viruses and bacteria 🗣 and/or allergies because many of these essential oils contain two or more of these following benefits: Anti-bacterial, antiviral, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, decongestant, uplifting, antidepressant, antihistamine, anti-fungal, antiseptic, anti-tumor, anticonvulsant and more.  It’s exceptional in keeping your nose from getting stuffy and dry. 

Many essential oilers I know use this nose swab everyday and love it. ❤️ 🇺🇸Made in the USA

BREATH AGAIN Roll On can be used along the side of the nose, down the back of the neck and down the throat.

STRESS AWAY Roll On not only smells great it has Copaiba which may help with inflammation. I love putting this down my neck, breathing deep to relax.

If there is any ITCHING try Peppermint, Purification or Patchouli Essential Oil and Tender Tush ointment. Try adding the essential oils to the Tender Tush to give it an added kick. Keep away from the eyes!

NINGXIA RED is the drink to drink. I will drink 4 oz. a day to help my immune system, give me energy, take out the free radicals.

If you wish to INGEST Young Living Essential Oils try putting them in the NingXia Red. For allergies try:

6-8 – drops of Lavender
2 – drops of Roman Chamomile

Try taking these Essential oils 2-4 times a day
These essential oils can also be put in a gelatin capsule. Fill the remainder of the capsule with olive oil.

SULFURZYME This may be key in helping with allergies. (Go to Sano Di Vita click on Sulfuzyme to read all about it)

MULTIGREENS – sea vegetables that increase vitality, bee pollen high in protein loaded with vitamins and minerals and essential oils to increase absorption.

Start taking a teaspoon of local HONEY to help with the local pollen allergies.

Grate some fresh TURMERIC  in the honey to help with inflammation.

INFLAMMATION

By

Inflammation is the body’s immune response to promote healing. We need this to heal, but too much over too long of time is damaging to our bodies. An over active immune system can lead to joint pain, fatigue, damaged blood vessels, asthma, eczema and allergic rhinitis. All pain is ultimately due to inflammation. Silent inflammation means you are not well, on your way to chronic disease.
The Anti-Inflammation-Zone by Dr. Barry Sears is the book to read for an in-depth knowledge of inflammation and its demons.
Dr. Sears explains how hormonal balance, especially keeping the hormone eicosanoid in balance, is the key to true wellness.
Eicosanoids control inflammation, the underlying cause of chronic disease states.
Eicosanoids are produced from essential fatty acids that the body cannot make, they must be consumed as part of the diet and in supplementation.

CAUSES OF INFLAMMATION:
*Stress – emotional
*Physical Stress – low blood sugar, a fall, a broken bone.
*Digestive Issues – poor diet, IBS
*Blood sugar levels – diabetes
*Food Allergies
*Hormones
*Environmental Toxins – chemicals, synthetic fibers

FOODS TO FIGHT INFLAMMATION:
*Onions and Garlic – natural anti-inflammatory chemicals, quercetin and allicin that produce free radical-fighting sulfuric acid.
*Fish – Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation.
*Dark leafy greens – need Vit.E for cytokines
*Nuts, flax seeds – they have Vit. E, omegas, antioxidants all to help repair damage cause by chronic inflammation.
*Beets – with their crazy bright redness or betalains help fight inflammation.
*Ginger and Turmeric – anti-inflammatory properties.
*Grape seed and Olive oil – omega-9 with anti-inflammatory polyphenols.
The bottom line, lots fruits, veggies, deeply pigmented at every meal for fiber, and natural anti-inflammatory compounds. Oregano, green tea, blueberries, ginger to limit free-radical production in the body.
Stay clear from known allergens like gluten, eggs, dairy, and soy. Leave behind the hydrogenated oils, sugars and refined carbohydrates.

*Here is an ANTI INFLAMMATION drink you can make courtesy of
Niece Leonor Pacheco from Instagram. 
1 organic piece of ginger (a large hand size piece with all the fingers)
8-9 pieces of organic turmeric 
1 whole fresh organic pineapple 
3 small organic lemons
1/2 tablespoon organic cayenne powder
4 cups water
Put the ginger and turmeric in a bath of vinegar and baking soda for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse. 
To a high speed blender add the 4 cups of water, peeled cubed fresh pineapple, ginger, turmeric, whole lemons cut in fourths, cayenne powder.
Blend. Strain the juice to get the pulp out.
Take 1 to 2 shots a day. 
A good way to store the juice is in an ice cube tray and freeze. Take a couple out each day to drink. 

EXERCISE:
Exercise can lower the body’s C-reactive protein which lowers inflammation.
A theory is that exercise causes the body to make more antioxidants that seek and destroy free radicals seen with inflammation.
People who exercise regularly find it much easier to deal with emotional stress.
People who are regularly active, sleep better, manage weight better, feel better physically and have a happier outlook on life.
To reduce inflammation, try to get 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, five days a week.

MEDITATION:
Meditation to reduce stress.

SUPPLEMENTATION:
Young Living offers many supplements and essential oils that may help in the reduction of stress and add nutritional support for a healthy lifestyle.
Essential Oils Integrative Medical Guide by D. Gary Young, ND on inflammation and essential oils:
Certain essential oils have been documented to be excellent for reducing inflammation. German chamomile, peppermint, helichrysum, spruce, birch, wintergreen and clove all have anti-inflammatory properties.
There are different types of inflammation for which one oil might be better than another:
Myrrh and helichrysum: inflammation due to tissue/capillary damage, bruising.
Roman chamomile and lavender: inflammation due to bacterial infection.
Ravensara, hyssop, and thyme: inflammation caused by viral infection.

Reference Guide for Essential Oils by Connie and Alan Higley:
According to Dr. David Hill, “Inflammation and oxidation go hand-in-hand.
NingXia Red and Longevity Capsules on a daily basis are a powerful combination to fight oxidation and inflammation system-wide.
Omega-Gize contains clove oil and fish oil, which have been shown to work together to reduce inflammation by up to 30%!
Life 5 a high-potency probiotic for a healthy immune system.
MultiGreens to boost vitality and relieve stress.
Sulfurzyme to aid in the body’s natural defense.

Reduce stress and anxiety with Lavender, Stress Away, Peace and Calming, German Chamomile. Diffuse into the air and meditate.

SERIOUS DETOX-BATH with YOUNG LIVING ESSENTIAL OILS

By

The most amazing bath recipe given to me by a friend, I added the essential oils. It has healing salts and valuable essential oil essences that can be an experience better than the sea. The aroma alone, as you close your eyes, while wrapped in the heat of the water will bring about bliss. If the tub has sauna jets turn them on to allow all the salt to penetrate every bit of your sinuses. Just breathe, bathing the sinuses with the healing salts and essential oils. As you are laying back, eyes closed, breathing, take the ginger wrapped in cheese cloth, squeeze repeatedly. This will help release tension and give each hand a nice bit of exercise they truly deserve.

This is a detox-bath that should be done twice a week for 4 weeks.
The bath should be as hot as you can take.
Soak in the hot bath for 20 minutes.

INGREDIENTS for DETOX-BATH
*3#s canning salt (I bought mine on Amazon).
*3#s baking soda,
*2 tbs. fresh ground ginger wrapped in a piece of cheese cloth
*1 cup of Epsom salt to add essential oils.

In the cup with the Epsom salt add the essential oils. Mix them in.
Add all the ingredients above to the hot bath water. Get in and soak for 20 minutes.

**Just up for a SIMPLE MINERAL BATH SOAK, reduce the ingredients to:
1 cup each canning salt, baking soda and Epsom salt.
add the essential oil to the Epsom salt, never directly into the water.

Recipes for adding essential oils:
SORE MUSCLES:
2 drops each Young Living Cypress, Wintergreen, and Lavender.
ACHES AND PAINS:
2 drops each Young Living Peppermint, Marjoram, Copaiba.
CRAMPING MUSCLES:
2 drops each Young Living Lemongrass, Peppermint, Rosemary.
If you are experiencing any kind of inflammation always add Copaiba.

“SKIN CONDITIONS”
DRY SKIN:
7 drops Young Living Lavender and 5 drops Geranium.
ECSEMA:
2 drops each Young Living Lavender, Melaleuca (tea tree), Thyme.
ITCHING OR RASHES:
2 drops each Young Living Peppermint and Melaleuca, 7 drops Young Living Lavender.
UPTIGHT OR STRESSED:
7 drops Young Living Peace and Calming or
7 drops Young Living Stress Away.

Most importantly, in wanting to detox your body drink “NingXia Red” everyday.
This juice, made out of wolf berries, essential oils and other berries is a tremendously high anti-oxidant. It can help remove the free radicals from our bodies which can destroy our cells, lead to disease and play havoc with our bodies. I have experienced this drink aiding in my improved immune system, energy, youthfulness and a general feeling of GREAT.

upside down and right side up so the dressing coats the beans.

The essential oils in Evergreen Essence are Blue Spruce, Ponderosa Pine, Scotch Pine, Red Fir, Western Red Cedar, White Fir, Black Pine, Pinyon Pine, other conifers.
