Essential Oil Education

If you have a healthy immune system, your chances of catching the “flu” are slim. Why? A healthy immune system keeps opportunistic pathogens from taking advantage of you. You see, bacteria and viruses are all around us yet we don’t catch every bug out there when our immune system is optimized. Some viruses like the H1N1 are pretty viralent so extra precautions are in order. What do I recommend to keep your immune system perking along at optimum?

Recommendations

Rest–I suggest 8 hours of down time out of every 24–that means horizontal rest not necessarily sleep.

Diet–lay off the sugar. A diet with sugar is a great breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Eat your greens, vegetables and fruits. Go light on the meat, heavy on the veggies.

Wash your hands as our president suggests! Wash them often and before and after you eat, visit the restroom, cough, sneeze or shake hands with anyone. Can’t get to soap and water? Then carry Thieves waterless hand purifier in your pocket. It’s small enough and inexpensive especially in comparison to being sick.

Take supplements. Yes, our diets even though they may be “healthy” lack the vitamins and minerals they once had. We live in a toxic world and that toxity unfortunately is in our food and water supply. Here are a few suggestions on supplements: Vitamin C, Super Cal, MultiGreens, ImmuPro, Inner Defense, Tru Source vitamins, minerals, Exodus, and Longevity capsules which contain frankincense, thyme, orange and clove. Also, keep your gut happy–use enzymes, Digest and Cleanse, and Comfortone. Young Living oils are the only ones that contain therapeutic grade essential oils. What a great easy way to get your oils internally!

Drink water. Lots of purified water. Make sure it is not chlorinated water which leaches calcium out of your bones.

And use your essential oils. Thieves on the soles of the feet every day. You can also use a drop of Exodus II on the soles of the feet or Egyptian Gold. Think you are beginning to come down with something? ticke in the back of the throat? Then use Tea Tree–one drop on the tongue every five minutes for 5-10 times will knock a cold. It won’t taste that great but it is worth doing to keep from getting sick. We are in a change of season moving from winter into spring so the weather is chaotic and that is when people are the most stressed. Stress will bring down your immune system very quickly.
