Autism and links to it.

  This is an interesting site that was brought to my attention.  While it is generally agreed that vaccinations do not cause autism, this website is an interesting read because it is about a mother who did what her Dr. asked without asking questions and using common sense.  Ask questions and make sure your Doctor knows ALL the details about your little ones before you take their word for it.  They're human too.

Head cold relief like none other!

So, I've been fighting off the nasty viruses that are trying desperately to take over.  So far I've been fairly successful in heading them off, except my sinuses have been struggling and I sound like I'm under water.  My dear sister sent me a HUGE care package today filled with over $200 worth of essential oils and right away I went here and looked up sinus infection for the sinus cleanse. I did it straight away and HOLY MOTHER OF WITCH DOCTORS!!  It was a little tingly, overall comfortable, and I've been blowing snot out of my nose ALL DAY!  I sound almost completely normal.  I am so relieved.  My essential oil stock had gotten depleted since about a year ago when I re-stocked and I was hurting.  So grateful for my loving sister that took the initiative to stock me up again.  I'm going to do the sinus rinse again tonight and will continue doing it twice a day until my symptoms are completely gone.  :)   This also works wonders on those sinus headaches.  I know the initial cost of oils can be a bit hard to swallow, but seeing as how every bottle contains about 300 drops and you only use 1 or 2 when applying them, you can see how it ends up being cost efficient, especially once you've tried them and you know you can't live without them.

Oil UP it WORKS!  

My daughter had a rash from armpit to belly button

Just a couple days ago  my 19 month old had a rash that went from her armpit to her belly button.  They were small, pale red dots that trickled down like drops of water.  She was scratching at them too so I know they were itchy.  She had even flaked the skin off directly under her armpit where it doesn't get as much air.  Here's what I did to treat them and within half a day they were gone:

While filling up the bathtub I tied a chamomile with lavender tea bag to the end of the spout so the water ran over it as it filled.  Then, once the tub was filled I put it directly in the water and let my baby soak in it for a bit.  Chamomile and lavender will calm the redness and itching like an antihistamine.  When she came out I applied a drop of lavender oil and waited a minute before applying on top of that an oatmeal/colloidal silver cream for eczema by nutrovena.  The only ingredients in the bottle are oatmeal and colloidal silver. 

Within 3 hours the symptoms were completely gone.        

I cut the flu down to 1/2 of the time!

Hello again.
The last few weeks every one around me has been sick, is sick, or will get sick soon.  It's that time of year again and WOW it's hitting hard!  I heard on the radio a few days ago that we are actually experiencing an epidemic right now.
I haven't been sick in about a year and was feeling pretty good about myself when....BAM!!!  Just this last Friday night my hubby came home from work and I started to feel the first signs of the crawling skin indicating a fever coming on.  So, I didn't just sit around and let it kick my butt, I started taking per la Immunity in a capsule (about 5 drops) twice a day and applying it to the bottoms of my feet and at the base of my spine several times throughout the day.  I did this Friday night, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
As if a fever wasn't enough, my sinuses Saturday morning wanted to join the party.  That was an easy bust.  I got out my neti pot and did a sinus rinse (find it here under the 'A-Z guide' tab www.HealthAndWellnessEO.weebly.com) and did it three times that day and it was gone by that evening.
For the fever-head-throb pain I wiped a drop of Lavender oil across my forehead and couldn't believe how well it worked!  I repeated that about twice a day Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Then on Sunday I started coughing!!  What?!  These viruses are trying to kill me!  It's like they're out for revenge or something.  Luckily for me I had per la Respiratory.  Just put one drop on the back of the tongue (it tastes nasty!) and there's instant relief.  I did this several times a day as well. 
Monday night I woke up in a huge sweat and Tuesday (today) I am back to normal!  While most people take a week to two weeks to fight off a virus, I cut it down to 3 whole days and one night.  A mom of a 1 and 1/2 yr old and a 4 month old does NOT have time to be sick.
So OIL UP!!  IT WORKS!!
I'm going around tomorrow to my sickie friends and giving EO treatments.   

Sore throat.. what's in my cabinet?

  Yesterday I felt the first tickle of a sore throat coming on.  I was so focused on trying to finish what I was doing, however, that I didn't do anything about it and by last night it was in full force.  The best essential oil to combat sore throats is Tea Tree oil (also known as Melaleuca), but I'm out of that one so I looked in my medicine cabinet (or essential oil cabinet since doing a medicine cabinet/essential oil makeover) and I do have a wonderful blend called per la Immunity which can be found at www.HealthAndWellnessEO.weebly.com.  So, I took a hot shower, then applied one drop of oil mixed with fractionated coconut oil on each foot and put about 5 drops into an empty capsule.  I woke up this morning and it is SO much better!  I'll keep up that routine for the next few days to make sure whatever bug in my throat is really squashed.  
The wonderful thing about oils is even if you don't have a preferred one for a specific illness you can truly use what you do have and still get results.  I would get faster results with tea tree, but oils have so many different chemical constituents, sometimes in the hundreds, that what you have on hand can at least hold you over till you can get what you need.  

 Oil UP it Works!!
