Why a mom should trust her self!!

This weekend we have had a nasty virus around our house. It started with the hand, mouth, foot virus. Then a little flu decided to get me sick. Now you say why trust you self?? I will tell you. I did not know my son had the HMF virus so we took him to friend (a doctor)  and he told me that is a yeast infection oh my son's bum and he has an ear infection. So we went to got pick up the medicine ( first time in 10 months ). When we gave my son the medicine on Sunday night he started complaining  that his feet were hurting, itching something. He was not happy. We then gave in Tylenol to help with the pain I also put lavender and peppermint on to help. Nothing helped so I got out what we never use a anti histamine. That worked but I did not feel right giving this to my child every time I gave him he medicine something had to be done. I thought and talked to few people and realized it  most likely was not an allergic reaction but it was some kind of reaction. I then decided to take him to our regular doctor on Monday ( he is slow to medicate). He told me there is no ear infection and the rash is not a yeast infection. He has HMF. Well that it was I thought he had in the first place. I told him what oils I was doing and he told go back to what you were doing and stop the other things it is making the virus worse. So in the end I wasted $25 dollars!!! But I learned a good lesson to trust my mother's intuition. As for my cold I  that would normally last 2 weeks has lasted 3 DAYS!! So you ask what oils did you use. I used purify, lavender, Melaluca diluted with coconut oil on my son's rash and  the BOMB on his feet to boost his immune system and help fight the virus. For me I used the BOMB. It has not been fun but we are getting over things and back our normal happy, busy life!! When a doctor tells you there is nothing you can do for a virus they are wrong there is a lot you can do. There is help out there!!
I am thank for my knowledge and grateful to have options of all natural medicine out there!! Thank you DoTerra for that help!!

 

I love cooking with oils

I  use my oils when I cook often. I love the benefit of them and they make my food wonderful.  DoTerra oils are CTPG  certified that mean they can be taken internally they are all tested safe for internal use!! Read the information below  and see how wonderful this NEW oil is!! I love it!! I made a wonderful chicken recipe the other day with it and my favorite was my cupcakes that featured the oil!! 






Tangerine:
Anti Septic: Staphylococcus Aureus oh my!!!! Yes! This is the species of bacteria which is responsible for this dreaded situation of infection called septic. Septic is a real bad stuff. It is not only limited to mere swelling and reddening of the wounds, with acute pain. If not checked, it quickly spreads to the other parts of the body and affects them, even if there are no wounds there. It causes acute pain, immobility and hardening of joints, acute contraction and cramp in muscles, swelling, redness, fever and convulsions. It readily attacks the new born babies as their skin is vulnerable to infections. It also attacks them when they are detached from their mother’s body by cutting the umbilical cord. 
The Essential Oil of Tangerine contains certain components which kill these bacteria and stops its spreading, thereby helping cure septic. It can be externally applied on open wounds as well as taken orally for having a uniform effect on the whole body.

Anti Spasmodic: Spasm may be a small word but its effects may be widespread and highly damaging. Spasm is not restricted to muscular cramps only. It can happen in respiratory system, digestive system and nervous system also and can cause breathing troubles, asthma, congestion, severe coughs, spasmodic diarrhoea and cholera, nervous afflictions and convulsions. The Essential Oil of Tangerine induces relaxations in the organic systems named above and gives relief from spasm.

Cytophylactic: Certain components of this oil stimulate generation of new cells, or more precisely, cell division, and recycling of the cellular matter in the body. This does not only promote general growth of the body but also helps heal or repair the regular wear and tear and outstanding damages done to the body.

Blood Purifier: An agent that purifies blood is called a "depurative". The Tangerine Essential Oil is this. It helps in the excretion or removal of the toxic and unwanted substances such as uric acid, pollutants, extra salt and wate r from the body through sweat, urine and excreta etc. as well as increases the oxygen retaining capacity of the erythrocytes (red blood cells), thereby refreshing or purifying the blood.

Sedative: The Essential Oil of Tangerine soothes. It soothes all types of inflammations and hyperactivity in all the systems functioning in our body, namely, the respiratory system, circulatory system, digestive system, nervous system and the excretory system. It sedates inflammation due to fever, intrusion of poisonous substances in the blood stream from external sources, convulsions, anxiety, stress, hypersensitivity of allergy etc. It also sedates depression, anger and impulsive responses.

Stomachic: Being a stomachic, the Essential Oil of Tangerine keeps your stomach in good condition by maintaining proper flow of digestive juices into it, by maintaining the right balance between the acid and bile (so that excess acids are neutralized) and by curing the wounds, if any, in the stomach. It soothes the stomach and gives relief from inflammation. One thing must be understood, if somebody wants to have a trouble free health and a good physique, then he must keep his stomach fine tuned and this is exactly what this oil does. It helps your stomach keep functioning properly.

Tonic: One that tones and fortifies is a tonic and Tangerine Essential Oil has this property. It tones up all the functions in the body. It fine tunes the metabolic functions like decomposition of food and absorption of nutrients by toning up the liver, stomach and intestines, helping in growth and adding to strength; ensures proper excretion; promotes the endocrinal secretions of hormones and enzymes and also tones up the nervous system and keeps you more alert and active, and finally, boosts the immune system, protecting you from infections. So, when your body is tuned and toned up, it will give you more mileage and output and will spring up to your every twist on the accelerator (I mean, in times of need).

Other Benefits: It impro ves circulation of blood and phlegm, boosts digestion, helps maintain oil and moisture balance in the skin and shows cicatrisant and emollient properties too. It also eases constipation and treats diarrhoea, flatulence, rashes, dryness and cracking of skin, hair problems, dandruff etc.

Few Words of Caution: This oil may show some extent of irritation in certain skin types, but in general it is non toxic, non irritant and non sensitizing.

Blending: The Essential Oil of Tangerine blends fine with bergamot, cinnamon, clary sage, clove, frankincense, and lavender.

new Favorite oil!!

Ok So I just got Geranium and I am in love with it. I found this and found it very useful!! Enjoy it!! 


Geranium, Pelargonium graveolens; Balancing, Uplifting, Refreshing!
A lecture by Dr. Susan Lawton:

Geranium is an aromatic, perennial, hairy plant with serrated leaves and flowers varying from light pink through to deep rose, magenta or red. Geranium essential oil is obtained by steam 
distillation from the flowers, leaves, and stalks. The oil is a beautiful, pale green in color, and the odor can also be described as green. It is sometimes described as resembling Rose oil, 
though a sensitive nose would never confuse the two. 

It mixes well with Bergamot, Basil, Rosemary, Rose, Wild Orange, Sandalwood, Lemon, Patchouli and Lavender. 

Geranium: Analgesic, antidepressant, antibacterial, anti-infectious, antiseptic, astringent, deodorant, gentle diuretic, haemostatic (it stops bleeding), tonic for the liver and kidneys, (kidney stone break up), relieves premenstrual tension, UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) relief; is a general stimulant so use carefully after 6 pm (may keep you too alert to sleep). 

Dr. Valnet spoke highly of Geranium as an anti cancer agent for some of the early identified cancers (Breast, Prostate, Lung) tumor based. Also for dry coughs tonsillitis and respiratory issues.
Nicole Stevens’ research reported that Geranium proved effective in inhibiting the activity of cervical cancer cells. 

Geranium has been reported to reduce the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and candidiasis (single-celled fungus). Improves immune system and is helpful as a stimulant for both lymphatic and circulatory systems. 

Geranium is a great balancer, due to it being an adrenal cortex stimulant, and helps regulate moods. Great for women having trouble getting pregnant and for symptoms of menopause 
because of its ability to support hormone balance. It is one of the most useful essential oils to help eliminate cellulite.

Geranium is often included in lymphatic drainage massage blends. 

Menopause occurs for most women in their late forties and early fifties. Some women are relatively symptom-free, but many suffer from excessively heavy periods, hot flashes, depression and insomnia. Geranium is a hormonal balancer, while Rose tones and cleanses the uterus, and Cypress helps to relieve excessive menstrual flow. These oils can be used in massage, as well as in baths and as hot compresses over the abdomen.

Why I love doTerra oils

 I fell in love with doterra oils almost a year ago. I was told my son had ADD and he should be put on medication. I was determined not find a more natural way to help him. So I started looking. I found a friend who told me about some oil that might help so I said hey I think I will try it. She gladly came by and brought me samples and I tried them out on him. I fell in love with  them. So I signed up  and got a sample kit. I started using it trying find  any reason I could to use them. I found so many uses that  they not just became  a help for my son but for my whole family!! As I read more, used more and learned more I fell in love more!! There is now a day that does not go by with out oils being used in my house. They have help boost  mine and my children's mood to having help cured ear infections and made better learners out of my family.  I am so thankful that I have learned so much and I look forward to learning more!
