HELP WITH ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

By

Sometimes it is necessary to take antibiotics. When we need to take antibiotics we can take steps to rebuild our bodies for a better immune system. We can help ensure a quick, full recovery.

Your 1st step would be to put Young Living Thieves Essential Oil on the bottom of your feet as well as the feet of your loved ones.

Gargle daily with Thieves mouthwash.

Stay alkaline by daily adding Lemon Essential Oil to your water.

Alkalime is a Young Living supplement to help the alkalinity of the body. An alkaline body can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic disease.

Diffuse essential oils to keep the air clean around you. Thieves essential oil is one of the best to diffuse.

Taking antibiotics kills off your beneficial gut bacteria. This could make it more difficult for you to recover from your illness because we need healthy gut flora. If you do take a course of antibiotics be sure to reseed your gut with healthy bacteria. You can do this by eating fermented foods and by taking Young Living Life 5, a probiotic. If you are on an antibiotic, also add this good bacteria specific organism called SACCHAROMYCES BOULARDII. You will need this!

An all-around preventative measure for optimal health is making sure your Vit. D levels are adequate with Young Living Super D.

A number of natural compounds can also help boost your immune system function and may help fight infection. This can include Young Living:

Super C

Inner Defense

Thieves Hand Sanitizer

Thieves Spray to spray in public places to kill germs.

Vegan Immugummies with Elderberry.

Immupro chewable tablets.

Avoid antibacterial household products. Use the Thieves line of cleaning products so as not to promote antibiotic resistance.

Properly wash your hands with warm water and Thieves or Lavender foaming soap. Bath & shower gels and bar soaps will all help to prevent the spread of bacteria.

Be mindful of washing your hands and kitchen surfaces after handling raw meat. About half of all the meat sold in grocery stores around the U.S. is likely to be contaminated with potentially dangerous bacteria.

The Thieves Fruit and  Veggie Spray will also help with the spread of bacteria on our fruits and veggies.

Purchase organic, antibiotic free meats and other foods. To reduce the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria make sure you’re only eating grass-fed, organically raised meat and animal products without the addition of hormones and antibiotics. Buy your food from responsible, high quality and sustainable sources. Support small family farms in your area.

RECEIVING BEAUTY

By

“Our society values scented products for the skin and for our over-all enjoyment. How pure are the oils used in your bath products? What about other products like your toothpaste, deodorant and lotions? Can you actually read and understand the ingredients? Do they sound like essential oils or chemicals? Are they labeled “next to nature” and then list unpronounceable petrochemicals?”
“Essential oils can improve the elasticity and tone of the skin thus rejuvenating it. Have you noticed lately, the increase in “aromatherapy” products on the market stating that they do just that very thing? Have you read their ingredients? Do they state “pure essential oils?” More than likely, they are filled with petrochemicals that mimic the fragrance of essential oils. Ref., Healing Oils Healing Hands Linda L Smith

I am going to share with you a very simple face oil that you can make yourself.
I use an Organic Argan oil as the carrier oil to mix the different essential oils in these face and neck recipes.

These formulas are all formulated with the 2 oz. bottle of organic Argan oil.
