Antibiotic Resistance: How To Beat It

By Leave a Comment

Use antibiotics only when necessary. *They do not work on viruses. They only work on bacterial infections. Even then they should be reserved for more serious infections. Take the 1st defense and put Young Living Thieves Essential Oil on the bottom of your and your loved ones feet. Gargle daily with Thieves mouthwash. Stay alkaline by daily adding Lemon Essential Oil to your water. Diffuse essential oils to keep the air clean around you. *Taking an antibiotic unnecessarily will kill off your beneficial gut bacteria. This could make it more difficult for you to recover from your illness. 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! *As an all-around preventative measure, makes sure your Vit. D is optimized year- round, especially during pregnancy along with Vit. K2. A number of natural compounds can also help boost your immune system function to help rid you of infection. This can include Young Living: Super C Oregano Essential Oil Inner Defense – a supplement with oregano and thieves essential oils Tea Tree Essential Oil Thieves Spray Other helpful immune enhancers are garlic pills and echinacea. High quality colloidal silver may be a valuable addition to your medicine cabinet, along with Tea Tree, Oregano, Lavender, Purification Essential Oils to treat cuts and scrapes instead of antibacterial creams. Manuka Honey can also be used for topical applications as well as Young Living Manuka Essential Oil. Clinical trials have found that Manuka Honey can effectively eradicate more than 250 clinical strains of bacteria, including some resistant varieties, such as MRSA. *Avoid antibacterial household products. Use the Thieves line of cleaning products so not to promote antibiotic resistance. Properly washing your hands with warm water and Thieves or Lavender foaming soap, the bath & shower gels, 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. A must to keep our house clean is Thieves Household cleaner. The Thieves Fruit and  Veggie Spray will also help with the spread of bacteria. *Purchase organic, antibiotic free meats and other foods. Reducing the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a significant reason for making sure you’re only eating grass-fed organically raised meat and animal products. Buy your food from responsible, high quality and sustainable sources. Support small family farms in your area. Ref. Dr. Mercola 7/9/2016 news letter  how-antibiotic-resistance-spreads

“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.
This Organic Argan oil can be found at Purelement Naturals.

These formulas are all formulated in the 1 oz. Argan oil that is sold at Purelement Naturals.

Allergy Time Again

By Leave a Comment

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.

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.
