Essential Oils

If you trust hospitals, you may not after reading the ingredients in a common drink they give out. My grandma is 88 and has spent most of her life heeding the advice of doctors. When they told her to stop eating eggs, she did. When they told her to make grains the basis of her diet, she did. And she’s suffering because of it. The woman that grew up eating fresh food from her backyard has slowly deteriorated. Over time, she lost over 50 lbs and six inches from her height. She had blood clots, surgeries—you name it. And every single time I’ve visited her in the hospital, they’ve given her Ensure. Right now she’s in a rehab facility recovering from knee surgery. What do they give her every morning? Ensure (with a side of toast, oatmeal or fake eggs – gotta keep that cholesterol down and the blood sugar…

Ever wondered how to stop cold sores easily and effectively at home with simple, all natural ingredients? Learn how to stop your blister from spreading and heal it in no time at all.  Ever wondered how to stop cold sores?  Cold sores –  also fever blisters — are proof that life can be pretty dang unfair. Some people get them, others don’t. If you get them, don’t worry.  I got them too. Luckily, there are ways to treat and prevent them. What causes cold sores?  A cold sore is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1). Despite the name, a cold isn’t what causes the painful blisters. The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is most often the cause. You can get HSV 1 from contact with an infected person’s skin or body fluids. Between outbreaks, HSV-1 hides inside your nerve cells. So the bad news is that it’s…

I’ve had so many people contact me to ask what they can take to burn fat, how to lose the last ten pounds and what to do when they’ve dieted relentlessly and still just cannot shake the weight. If this sounds like you – there are very real reasons why this is happening. Diet I’m just going to call it like it is – diets are bullshit. They wreak havoc on the metabolism, leave people hungry and more likely to overeat, do not provide the necessary vitamins and minerals and the best part is – they set people up to gain even more weight! Counting calories, avoid the egg yolks, eating fruit for breakfast, eat cereal as a snack, eating low-fat yogurt to tide your hunger – none of these things are healthy. And yet, women is particular are encouraged to do them all in the name of losing weight.…

In starting my research for this article, I began reading up on which oils were best for weight loss (duh). Which oil helped curve cravings, which oil was good for digestion, which oil could support a healthy metabolism and the like. I found that these are the five best essential oils to support healthy weight loss (of course, with a healthy diet and regular exercise): Grapefruit Many people who struggle with weight loss also struggle with insulin resistance. Grapefruit has been shown to reduce cravings but even more importantly, helps maintain an already healthy insulin response. A diet high in carbohydrates and sugar coupled with the intake of omega-6 vegetable oils (the Standard American Diet) leads to insulin resistance. This is one of the main reasons people are not able to manage their weight. Grapefruit can help balance hormones as well, which is a large part of weight loss. Lemon…

Prior to making this perfume, I hadn’t worn perfume in years. They would always give me a headache, and there’s a reason for this. Most perfumes are made with toxins like petrochemicals, parabens, synthetic musks and several other sketchy ingredients. The thing I love about the essential oil perfume is not only is it free of toxins, it’s actually good for you! Essential oils are great natural remedies, and the oils I use are extremely pure and potent. This perfume smells great but can also be used to boost your mood, help you sleep or stop an anxious feeling in their tracks. Yeah, it’s that awesome. The bright, citrusy scent of lemon will help boost your mood and the vanilla just makes it smell amazing. Unfortunately, the essential oil company I use doesn’t make a vanilla so I bought this one. The best part is that Scott thought this perfume/body spray smelled great.…

I think we can all agree that our current medical system is flawed. People are handed prescriptions instead of actually fixing their problems. I can’t tell you how many prescription drugs I’ve been prescribed, everything from Accutane to Xanax. I wish I had known that essential oils were not only more effective, but safer. 100 people die every day in the US from the overprescription of drugs, but what if these people were instead introduced to a healthy diet and essential oils? We need to start fostering the power of plants instead of toxic, dangerous prescription drugs. In the New York Times, neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta said, According to a 1999 report by the Institute of Medicine, as many as 98,000 Americans were dying every year because of medical mistakes. Today, exact figures are hard to come by because states don’t abide by the same reporting guidelines…But a reasonable estimate is that…
