September Health Favorites

IMMUNE: Inner Defense & Thieves

The big guns.

We take one drop of Thieves essential oil blend in raw, local honey when we’ve been exposed to germs or when we’re starting to feel a little under the weather.

We diffuse it all night and day.

The bottoms of our feet are covered in Thieves and tucked in cozy socks.

Consistent use is absolutely key here. We use it a few times per day or every couple of hours if we’re really run down.

If we’re a little late to catch an icky feeling, we’ll take Inner Defense to get our bodies back to performing above the line of wellness again. It’s easy. Just follow the directions on the side of the bottle.

Fall health booster recipes

Want to hear something really crazy? 

We’ve used nothing but Young Living products for the last six cold and flu seasons.

No prescriptions. Nope.

Zero doc visits. Zilch.

Why?

We’ve got everything we need in our home.

Lung Support

LUNGS: R.C., Breathe Again, and Snifflease

R.C. and Breathe Again open up passageways and help your lungs work at optimal function.

Snifflease is the kids’ version, which just means it’s pre-diluted.

Diluted doesn’t mean weaker here, though. 

Just that it stretches a bit further and is ready to apply because there’s a fatty oil inside.

So, I’ll carry Snifflease in my purse for all four of us and keep the others in the house.

R.C. and Breathe Again are our go-tos (I prefer the pre-diluted roller of Breathe Again for late night coughing fits).

Thieves Tea

Dilution…what?

We dilute for many reasons, and not all need diluted, but don’t worry.

It’s super simple.

Why?  Because the ratios are on the side of the bottle.

However…

I usually follow this rule: 1 drop essential oil to 4 drops carrier (fatty oil like coconut, olive, grapeseed, hempseed, etc).

Don’t be afraid.

You won’t mess this up…promise!

Why Young Living ONLY?

I know…what a weird thing to say, right?

We *only* use one oil company. Sounds odd. I know.

But here’s what happened to us in a nutshell:

  • Our two-month-old was diagnosed with a toxin-caused cancer (we know it’s toxin-caused because it wasn’t genetic…seriously, go down *that* rabbit hole for a minute…).
  • Two years later I stumbled upon what it means to have toxic makeup, cleaners, etc.
  • I tried multiple types of “organic” and natural “essential oils” from big and little companies. None of them worked. Some of them made me feel worse.
  • I learn about Young Living’s Seed to Seal promise: zero pesticides, zero fillers, zero synthetics, zero fragrance, period. I could not find this anywhere else. 
  • We start using Young Living and were overwhelmed by it’s purity and efficacy.
  • Six years later, I write to tell you all about it.

Wish there was a way to learn without being sold to?

Have you been hearing about oils in a negative (or positive) light but know deep down there’s something to it?

If you follow me on social media, do you ever wonder why we’re so healthy…consistently?

For years?

Fall Favorites: Lung and Immune Function

Natural, Effective Seasonal Relief!

Seasonal relief shouldn't mean reaching for expensive and harmful over-the-counters. This is a much simpler and healthier solution!

Seasonal relief is so simple!

After 6 years of research and digging into every company I possibly can, I will only in good conscience recommend this pesticide-free, synthetic-free, fragrance-free, and hand-weeded company. Here’s why.

Recipe

1 drop of each:

Lemon essential oil

Peppermint essential oil

Lavender essential oil

Seasonal relief shouldn't mean reaching for expensive and harmful over-the-counters. This is a much simpler and healthier solution!

How to Get Relief

There are two ways to use this blend.

I suggest you do both.

Method 1: Inhale

Put the oils in the palm of your hand. Rub them together. Cup your hands and cover your nose and mouth to breath the blend in deeply.

Do this a few times until you feel relief and repeat as necessary.

We like to carry a rollerbottle with us because it travels so well.

For that, add 10 drops of each oil and fill the rest of the bottle with your choice of carrier oil.

Carrier oil is just a fatty oil you have in the kitchen like olive, sweet almond, grapeseed, jojoba, or coconut oils.

*For rollerbottle recipes, you’ll need liquid coconut oil like I linked above.

OR

You can also diffuse. My forever favorite diffuser is the 12 hour Desert Mist by Young Living.

Method 2: Ingest

Put one drop each in a vegetable capsule (you can get these here) and take with a glass of water as needed.

OR

Put one drop of each in raw, local honey (said to have its own allergy-busting benefits) and take as needed.

OR

Put one drop of each of the three oils in raw milk and take as needed.

Consistency is Key!

You’ll need to continue using this for relief as often as needed.

It’s amazing that with how often your allergies kick up, you can be free from scary ingredients.

In fact, you’ll be supporting your entire body while doing so!

There is a belief that allergies, while common, are not normal.

Until you sort all of that out, keep consistent and carry your oils with you, so you don’t have to reach for the dangerous over-the-counter junk.

I’m so grateful with what we can do with a truly clean, toxin-free routine!

You're not alone. Let me help you create the safest,healthiest home possible for the least expense.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF GOING TOXIN FREE?

Let’s face it.

We all know pretty much everything is toxic on the shelves today.

But how do you overcome this when everywhere you turn, Greenwashing is so…allowed?

Young Living is the only company in the last 6 years of searching that has checked all my boxes.

  • Zero pesticides on plant material
  • Zero synthetics or fragrance added to final oil product
  • Dilutes to save our family money

That’s right.

I know, I know. It’s hard to believe when you go to the website.

Save money?

Yes!

Think about it: 100 drops in the six dollar bottle means I’m getting 100 doses.

What on the store shelves gives you 100 doses of pesticide-free, synthetic and fragrance-free (unscented is still fragranced) for six bucks?!

12 Easy + Powerful Ways to Use Lemon Oil

What is Lemon Oil?

(I can only safely and in good conscience recommend Lemon oil from this pesticide-free/synthetic-free oil company).

  • $6. 50 for 100 “doses/drops” or $11 for 300 “doses/drops” from the link below for “lemon.”
  • You can Subscribe and Save for every 1, 2, or 3 months. Whatever you need!

Lemon oil is cold-pressed from the rind of lemons.

It has a neutral pH, something you don’t get when squeezing the acidic insides into drinks.

It supports your circulatory, respiratory, renal, and digestive systems.

Lemon also supports a healthy memory, vibrant skin, and balanced emotional health.

12 easy and powerful ways to use Lemon oil in your home that will make life, health, and keeping a home simple!

12 Easy Ways to Use Lemon Essential Oil

  1. Seasonal Relief
  2. Happiness/mood support
  3. Nighttime Lip Serum
  4. Clean home and uplifting home smell
  5. Immune support
  6. Large intestine support
  7. Liver support (had a lot of Acetaminophen in your life?)
  8. Spleen support
  9. Nail bed support
  10. Respiratory support
  11. Sinus support
  12. Healthy weight support
12 easy and powerful ways to use Lemon oil in your home that will make life, health, and keeping a home simple!

How to Use Lemon Oil

There are three ways to use Lemon essential oil.

1. Topical

Mix one drop Lemon oil with 1 drop carrier.

Rub into skin where needed, avoiding places that will see the sun.

Some good places to apply are the spine, brain stem, and bottoms of your feet.

Carrier is just a fatty oil you have around the house like coconut, jojoba, almond, olive, etc. They help dilute, stretch, and absorb the lemon oil better.

2. Aromatic

Put a few drops in a diffuser.

My favorite will forever be the Desert Mist 12 hour diffuser from Young Living.

You can also put a drop of Lemon into the palm of your hand, rub them together, cup and inhale deeply.

Internal

Because Young Living is hand-weeded, synthetic-free, additive-free, and pesticide-free, we’ve had tremendous success ingesting Lemon essential oil.

Put 3 drops in a vegetable capsule (available on the Young Living website) and take 3 times daily.

We put lemon in our water (no plastic bottles!) all day to help detox any pollutants or toxins we take in from the world or food we encounter.

One simple step toward toxin free.

6 Fall Health Essentials

Your Wellness Routine

Do you think about wellness or illness?

Are you waiting to get sick and then take care of yourself?

Are eating well and exercising the only ways you prevent illness and promote wellness?

Have you created a wellness routine?

Practice Makes Healthy Homes

Make adding new wellness practices simple.

Add something new each month and pair it with what you’re already used to doing each day.

For example, I always get dressed for the day.

It makes sense that my wellness roller goes in my closet where I’ll remember to apply to my feet.

I have breakfast each morning.

Near the kitchen sink, I keep my morning wellness oils and vegetable capsules.

I open the curtains around the house each morning.

I take water infused with the oils of the day around with me, so I can fill my 12 hour diffuser as I open the house.

See?

Easier when you think about keeping it simple, isn’t it?

Have a happy and healthy fall!

32 Seriously Impressive Uses for Basil!

If Basil essential oil isn’t in your life yet, it’s invaluable! Get cha some!

For less than a penny a serving, it’s a staple in the Marshall home.

*Note: When figuring how much you’re getting for the price, divide the cost by 300 for 15mL and 100 for 5mL.*

Do you know how to get the most from your Basil essential oil? These 32 seriously impressive uses are practical and so helpful!

What Clinical Studies Have Shown

When distilling the Basil leaf, it has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. Just to be clear, I’m not aiming to heal, treat, or cure a dang thing. I’m just sharing what the ole scientists have reported. K? K. 😉

They have also found that it demonstrated strong bactericidal action against microorganisms.

Basil strengthens circulatory, muscular, skeletal, immune, and respiratory systems. YAY for that goodness!

Who Can Use It?

  • Epileptics should not use Basil.
  • Those with high blood pressure should talk to their doc first before using it.
  • Don’t use if you’re pregnant.
  • No internal use for children under 6.

How to Dilute It

Dilute 1 drop Basil to 4 drops V-6 or other carrier before applying to skin or taking internally.

You can ingest the Young Living oil because it’s pesticide free, synthetic free, and fragrance free!

No harmful junk.

Can you find any other oil brand to say this?

I searched for 9 long months and could only find YL!

Do you know how to get the most from your Basil essential oil? These 32 seriously impressive uses are practical and so helpful!

Not a New Remedy

According to Life Science Publishing, Basil goes waaaay back.

“Used extensively in traditional Asian Indian medicine, Basil’s name is derived from “basileum,” the Greek name for king. In the 16th century, the powdered leaves were inhaled to treat migraines and chest infections. The Hindu people put basil sprigs on the chests of the dead to protect them from evil spirits. Italian women wore basil to attract possible suitors. It was listed in Hildegard’s Medicine, a compilation of early German medicines by highly regarded Benedictine herbalist Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179).“

Blends that have Basil In Them:

Want more Basil in your life?

Trying to avoid it because you’re one of those peeps listed above who shouldn’t use it?

It’s also in the following oil blends:

  • Aroma Siez
  • Clarity
  • M-Grain

PRACTICAL WAYS WE USE BASIL:

Let’s get down to it!

Pin this or dig out your special oily notebook and add these for future use!

1.) Growing pains! Dilute and apply right to the sore shins or knees (that’s where our boys hurt the most) or wherever it’s needed.

2.) Use as a part of the Raindrop Technique (included in Kitty and dog Raindrop as well!)

3.) Add to shampoo or conditioner for extra shine.

4.) Add a drop or two to the bath to help wind down at the end of a stressful day.

5) Three drops Basil + 1 dropper of CBD Base for sore muscles.

6.) Add a drop to marinades or pasta sauces for amazing flavor!

7.) Get more basil oil in your diet when enjoying one of our Slique Shakes.

8.) Dilute and apply to brainstem area when dealing with confusion.

9.) Put one drop neat into the palm of your hand, cup hands, bring to nose, and breathe in deeply when needing to refocus and concentrate.

10.) Dilute and apply to brainstem area and breathe in deeply when walking through emotional shock.

—————————————

11.) Enjoy the benefits of Basil when taking ICP (Intestinal Fiber Cleanse).

12.) Add a drop to your minestrone soup.

13.) Dilute and use daily either topically or internally for bone and joint support.

14.) Add alongside MindWise in your 2 oz of NingXia Red each day to support a healthy memory.

15.) I can dilute and either use with a cold compress on my joints affected by bursitis or take it internally to help. What a thing to be grateful for!

16.) Dilute and put on any ligament sprains or tears this house of athletes may suffer! I can take 15 drops of Aroma Siez (has Basil in it) and add it to 5 drops Lemongrass and apply 3-6 times per day.

17.) Add to veggie capsule for heartburn (it always strikes me right before bed–ugh!): 8 drops Sage, 3 drops Sacred Sandalwood, 2 drops Basil, 1 drop Palo Santo. You can use any single or mix of these oils you have.

18.) Dizziness! While I’ll need to figure out the root cause of any time I’m experiencing dizziness, I’ll grab the Basil and put a single drop under my nose to feel better first.

19.) This one has been put to the test a few times in our house: Place 2 drops Basil on a small piece of cotton and place it in our ear when we have an earache. I’ll also dilute it and rub it around (but not in!) our ear. This is one of the most amazing things we’ve experienced with Basil. It’s our go-to.

20.) Likewise, we’ll do the same when we have ear infections. Of course, I also tag team it with taking Thieves in honey to help in the way it always does in our house–fighting that ick!

—————————————

21.) Ever get ringing in your ear? So thankful we can take a drop of Basil and rub it along our ears, on temples, forehead, and the back of our neck whenever we need that annoying bit to stop it right now!

22.) Mental fatigue hits me around that middle-of-the-day slump! Breathing in a drop of Basil in my cupped hands perks me right up!

23.) Put a drop on corns and calluses 3 times a day. I can also use this mixture: 4 drops basil, 2 drops Myrrh, 2 drops Cypress, 1 drop Oregano, and 1 drop Hinoki. I’d apply this directly to the corn/calluses undiluted.

24.) I have used this multiple times for migraine, and it just flat out works! Massage Basil onto temples, base of the neck, center of the forehead, and at nostril openings. Massage on thumbs and big toes. Place warm compress with 1-2 drops of Basil on the back of my neck. I like M-Grain (has Basil in it) for this. I’ll also press a drop of Thieves to the roof of my mouth. If it’s sinus related, I’ll also rub Deep Relief along my sinuses.

25.) Okay, listen up new mamas (or older mamas like me, cause this never goes away!): Hemorrhoids. YASSS. Okay, here’s what you do: add 4 drops Basil, 1 drop Cistus, 1 drop Cypress, and 1 drop Helichrysum (or whatever mix of those oils you have on hand) and mix it into some Rose Ointment. You can dip a cotton round into this if you don’t have Rose Ointment, or just spread it on one if you do and place it where the sun don’t shine. If it stings a little, that’s okay. You’re not hurting yourself, promise. We both know those things are buggers. By the next application, you should be feeling some relief. I know I do!

26.) Menstrual cramps,anyone? Grab that Basil! Dilute and rub over your lower back and stomach. Kick it up a notch in the relief department when you add the Basil to a warm compress. Ahhhhh!

—————————————

27.) Bruise from a kid running into you really hard? No? Just me? 🙂 Add some Basil to carrier and rub over the bruise a couple times a day.

28.) Charley Horse, muscle spasm, or cramps (ugh! Pregnancy attacked me on this front!). Grab some Sulferzyme and add a drop of Basil and chug, girl! Or, if you don’t much love the taste of a pizzeria in your delicious Sulferzyme, you can have your Basil on the side in a veggie capsule. 🙂

29.) In this computer-driven life, Carpal Tunnel can run rampant. I love that I can dilute Basil and massage this into where it hurts most.

30.) Okay, I know this is super “ew,” but I’ve had to use this before. Parasites (which are way more common than I realized!). Take 3 drops in milk or in a capsule twice a day for 7 nights before bed. Rest 7 nights. Do this three times/cycles. I experienced a huge difference.

31.) Poison Ivy/Sumac/Oak. How do my boys always find this stuff? I have gotten rid of it more than once using just oils. Put 4-6 drops Basil and 4-6 drops Peppermint diluted on the affected areas twice a day. You can also add it to a cold compress to help any swelling.

32.) Dilute and use on spine for good spine support and health. I have a disc issue. I love that I can put Basil right on the area when it hurts. Especially when I just seem to have nagging lower back pain. Same for my neck and sciatica (hello, pregnancy!)

Best Remedies for Sleep Issues

Oils for sleep is one of my favorite natural remedies.

Why are they so effective?

They address root causes instead of being bandaids.

In this article, I’ll share some of the common root causes of sleep issues.

I’ll also dig into what we can do to support healthy sleep and bodies for both adults and children.

*NOTE: Each 15mL bottle is 300 “doses” and each 5mL is 100. Try to find sleep support, especially one that won’t harm your body in the process for this kind of pricing!

Anxious and Depressed Feelings

Oils like Lavender, Frankincense, Lemon, and Valor support anxious feelings, a common root cause of sleep issues.

Frankincense, Lavender, Lemon, Valor, Citrus Fresh supports depressed feelings, as it’s another reason we find ourselves struggling to sleep.

If you’re thinking you’ll just run to the store and pick up some oils, here’s why that’s a super dangerous decision.

The best ways to tackle sleep issues at its root and some of the practices that can also improve your overall health.

Stress

I don’t know about you, but if I’m stressed, my mind is racing.

That leads to my eyes wide open for hours.

So, I like to add oils to my Subscribe and Save orders that can help with stress for many reasons, including sleep.

Some of my go-to essential oils for stress are Stress Away, Tranquil, Release, and RutaVaLa.

Hormones

Balancing hormones is so much more important than I realized.

Until I was in my 30s and feeling the insomnia that can come along with being an unbalanced mess.

Thank goodness for the ability to add in Progessence Plus, Dragon Time, a toxin-free life, and more (found here) that all have lead to my relief!

The best ways to tackle sleep issues at its root and some of the practices that can also improve your overall health.

What Oil for Which Person

I’m so thankful we have so many options. Each person’s body responds best to a different oil or combo, so take your time to find what works best for each of you.

For Children

Our kids have been so blessed with the best essential oils for sleep.

It’s become such a part of our routine, they know exactly where to grab what they need and how to apply it.

Here are some of our favorite sleep tips for children:

  1. A toxin-free home, good nutrition, and a routine bedtime are all key to good sleep. 
  2. SleepyIze from the KidScents Line is great to do a light nighttime massage. 
  3. A couple drops of Peace & Calming on a favorite stuffed animal they snuggle with at night, so they can breathe in the goodness as they unwind during storytime. 
  4. A drop or two of Lavender and Stress Away in a warm bath before bed is a great way to start calming down before bedtime.
  5. Massaging your oil of choice like Tranquil on the soles of their feet will help them fall asleep as well. 
  6. Dream Catcher Blend: Helps to open the mind, enhancing dreams. Helps children sleep more soundly.
  7. Unwind supplement: Created to help support a restful night’s sleep and focus the next day.

For Adults

  1. A toxin-free home: Have you noticed a pattern? Your food and product choices change everything. Don’t be fooled by Greenwashing! It’s all you’ll find in the stores, unfortunately.
  2. SleepEssence : contains melatonin and four powerful essential oils to help promote restful sleep and support the body’s natural sleep rhythm.
  3. Stress Away: Put in a diffuser next to your bed.
  4. RutaVala, Lavender: Rub on the bottoms of your feet right before bed, especially if you grind your teeth!

5 Ways Young Living is a Less Expensive Lifestyle

There are 5 amazing ways that Young Living is a far less expensive lifestyle than the one you’ve been passed down from generations before.

1. Concentrated

First and foremost, it’s important that you understand the huge difference between YL and any other oil/lifestyle company. Read more about that here.

Now that you know why it can only be Young Living, here’s how it also benefits your wallet.

Most every single product is highly concentrated.

Just take a look at some comparisons:

2. No More Over-the-Counters

The toxicity of the fake, wannabe OTCs not only cost a ton more than Young Living.

They don’t even hold a candle to YL’s strength and effectiveness!

Comparison shop here:

These are five ways Young Living is a less expensive lifestyle than the toxic life the stores and other "safe" products offer.

3. Ditching Co-Pays + Prescriptions

Once we snagged our Essential Oils Reference Guide Desk Reference and applied its knowledge to our toxin-free life, things changed rapidly.

Where we had co-pays that were followed by prescriptions (costing even more while harming our bodies), we no longer need that route.

Are we thankful we can pop in and get a checkup? Sure!

Will we run into the hospital for a sling or cast if our kid breaks his arm? Obvioiusly.

But we’re no longer bound by the “must find out what my kid has” mentality.

We take care of things with our oily arsenal.

They’re gone faster.

They show up less.

We just feel…better.

How has this been the less expensive lifestyle all along?

Why didn’t someone tell us?

4. 25% Back + Free Shipping + Promos

This loyalty program of ours; she’s a keeper.

Can you imagine a rewards card at any store where you get $25 back on a $100 order?

Then at that $100 order getting free shipping?

And then knowing if you liked the group of free items that you could bump up your order to hit promo levels with things you need anyway?

Check out some basics on how our family saves so much on this less expensive lifestyle each year since we stopped going to the grocery and opted for the monthly Essential Rewards program with Young Living.

These are five ways Young Living is a less expensive lifestyle than the toxic life the stores and other "safe" products offer.

If you have a wholesale account with Young Living, you automatically get a referral link.

The same way I can refer someone to my apartment building and get cash or a discount on next month’s rent, I can give my link to someone wanting this lifestyle.

The only break in the link between the apartment analogy and YL is that with Young Living, I then get a kickback every time that person orders whereas I only benefit once from my apartment referral.

Read here how to get the most out of our referral program whether you’d like to earn casually or consistently.

By the Numbers

We added up how much we spent the first year we only bought Young Living.

Then we added how much we spent the year before with doc co-pays, running to the pharmacy, over-the-counters, and buying everything else we get from YL at the store.

How much did we save?

Over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

It’s $2,000 less to live a life that won’t harm my organs, immune system, or hormones?

OKAY!

*I did not count in any of the money I made from sharing the referral link. Simply comparing orders from YL with life before it.*

These are five ways Young Living is a less expensive lifestyle than the toxic life the stores and other "safe" products offer.

Grow Your Lashes Fast!

Want to grow your lashes fast?

It is an achievement, my friend.

Having safe materials with which to do this, is an even bigger achievement.

Have you seen what’s in mascara?

It’s a nightmare. Forget it.

Not near these peepers!

Lash Grow Boosting Serum

First, any essential oil won’t do. They’re super dangerous even when they’re legally allowed to say 100% pure!

Read here about who our family picked after 9 months of research and why it can only be them. No one else even comes close.

In an empty mascara tube like this one, put in the following:

  • 5 drops each Cedarwood, Lavender, and Rosemary
  • Fill the rest with organic castor oil like this one

Shake and apply to clean lashes in the morning and night.

You can also use this on your eyebrows before bed!

Safest Mascara

Have you researched what’s in even the “safe” mascaras?

No thank you!

I only trust Young Living for my makeup, too!

Their Savvy Makeup line has both a volume and lengthening formula to choose from.

You can get yours here.

Best Eyelash Curler

I’d never tried a heated curler before, but now that I have, I won’t ever go back!

You’ve got to check out this heated eyelash curler.

It’s super fast to heat up but doesn’t get scary hot.

I get the best results when I put on my YL mascara, curl, put on a second application, then curl again.

Getting your Safer Lashes

We want to avoid the bandaid mentality. Read more about that here.

Then you can take a look into what it means to live toxin-free including this amazing lash serum and mascara combo.

Questions or need to talk about it in depth a little more?

Email me at andrea@gospalchapter.com and we’ll connect. I love hearing from you!

An amazing serum to grow your lashes fast, the best and safest mascara, and a curler you'll wonder how you ever did without!

The Bandaid Effect

The bandaid effect is the opposite of healthy living.

Your kid falls down, but there’s no scrape or bump or bruise in sight.

They insist they need a bandaid.

It’ll make them feel better. They just know it, Mama.

So you hand them their favorite character bandaid, kiss their boo boo, and magically they’re off running full speed.

We do this as adults, too.

Don’t believe me?

Take a look.

Everyday “Bandaids”

Ever find it frustrating that those cough drops and syrups don’t actually make your cough go away?

That your muscle cream doesn’t fix the strain?

When your sensitive toothpaste doesn’t stop the pain when you drink a cold glass of water?

That’s because the world around us is all marketing us toward the bandaid effect.

A fascade.

A temporary fix.

This post explains what the bandaid effect is, how it affects healthy living, and what you can do instead for your overall wellness.

Root Causes

Raise your hand if you’ve asked a doctor what caused your illness just to hear they don’t know or there’s no known root cause.

We’ve been taught for generations to treat symptoms.

We now white knuckle this idea to the point of not knowing what else to do.

Most every time someone reaches out to me about an essential oil, they’re really asking for the bandaid effect.

“Can you recommend an oil for sleep? For acne? For reflux?”

Why are you facing these issues?

Stress? Trauma? Gut issues?

I’m definitely not a doctor, so where do we go from there?

Responsible for Self

We’ve (unfairly) pushed the responsibility of our health onto our doctors, then we’re frustrated when all they can give us bandaids.

It’s time to step up our responsibility and do the hard work.

What does it take to advocate for your health?

You’ve got to get a few of your ducks in a row.

This post explains what the bandaid effect is, how it affects healthy living, and what you can do instead for your overall wellness.

1. Your Lifestyle Products

You can read more about it here, but everything on the shelves that’s made to look safe and healthy is greenwashed. This is a fancy word for “lie.”

They are hormone, immune, organ, and overall body-destroying. The cleaners, washes, makeup, lotions–you name it– are all a marketing scheme.

They sell you a lotion with chemicals that dry your skin. Guess what you need more of?

And those chemicals? It’s perfectly legal even though they’re harmful to your body.

So, we switched to Young Living.

Read here to find out why, after 9 months of research, our family can only land on YL and no one else.

2. Your Food

Pesticides are a bigger problem than we realize.

They’re taking the nutrition right out of the food we need to survive.

I agree that organic (or even better biodynamic) foods are more expensive, and that can make things difficult.

Esepcially on a tight budget.

But here’s the great news.

Young Living as a lifestyle is about $2,000 less expensive per year than traditional in-store shopping (read all about that here).

Looks like your organics budget just blew wide open, friend.

3. Digging Up Roots

You know how your body feels.

And you know its history best.

Find a doctor who’ll dig in alongside you and supplement instead of medicate you. You’ll be blown away by how much progress you’ll find.

It took far too long for me to find my doctor. Actually, my friend found him, and now I tell everyone about it!

Check out our doc’s mission statement:

Our mission is to restore optimum function to the body in order to help our patients experience life to its fullest. By removing stressors to the nervous system through chiropractic adjustments, nutrition supplementation, and neurofeedback, we aim to release the innate ability of the body to self-heal and thrive.

To put this into perspective, I fought cystic acne with meds and then finally with my own natural route (applying oils topically) for 17 years in total.

After changing up the type of doctor I saw, I’m almost completely clear-skinned only 8 months later.

And we did it all with zero drugs.

You Can Do This!

After hearing a woman in one of my oil classes say she’d have to ask her doctor if she could look into possible root problems, I knew I’d need to write this.

This is your body.

No one else’s.

You can live well because your body was fearfully and wonderfully made to be healthy!

Get Started with this New Healthy Lifestyle!

Your next step toward escaping the bandaid effect is right here.

It’ll walk you through each step and show you all of your options.

However, if you’re in need of some one-on-one conversation to help you through or to get some questions answered, email me any time!

I love to hear from my readers. to help your families live and feel like we do is a blessing.

I hope to talk with you soon!

Best Dry Brushing for Optimal Health

The best dry brushing for your health is right here!

It’s simple when you have the right tools and this printable that includes the instructions from this post!

Benefits of Dry Brushing

I learned this the hard way.

I’d gotten a dry brush but hadn’t used it regularly.

Until I found lumps in my breasts.

Praise God they were only cystic fibroids.

Though painful, I was able to dry brush, and they went down immediately. The pain was gone within a few days.

I’m forever grateful for the power of dry brushing!

This simple post has directions and best practices with a free printable on how to dry brush to boost your overall wellness.

Some other benefits include:

  1. Reducing cellulite
  2. Exfoliating
  3. Stress reduction
  4. Cleaner pores
  5. Improving circulation
  6. Stimulating the lymphatic system (what did a number on my fibroids!)
  7. Makes for a stronger immune system (especially when you use Young Living oils in conjunction!)

Directions

You’ll need some Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil, which you can read about here.

You will also need some Lemon essential oil. Read here about why it should only come from Young Living for the safest oils on the planet (zero pesticides, fragrance, synthetics, and more!).

Snag the printable and follow the arrows with gentle, even strokes.

Remember, consistency is key to results.

How to Get the Oils

A Day in the Life of an Oily Family

How I wish I’d been taught to be an oily family when I was making my home from the start!

Now that I’ve got it, I love to share it with others.

In this article, I’m going to share with you what it’s really like to live this lifestyle.

Come on in!

Welcome to our home!

Wake Up!

Good morning!

To flush our bodies of toxins we’ll encounter out in the world, we use Lemon oil.

Lemon essential oil from Young Living doesn’t have the acidic wear and tear on your teeth that the flesh of a lemon would.

I don’t know about you, but we just don’t drink enough water if we aren’t super intentional about it.

So, we fill up our water bottles first thing (we’ve been loving these bottles!) and put a drop or two of Lemon oil in there to help boost our immune system and help us drink more water.

In the Kitchen

We start our morning in the kitchen cleaning up after breakfast.

What I love about Thieves Dish Soap is how concentrated it is. We get lots of bottles from one!

It also knocks out grease like an old pro.

With two boys and a dog, killing germs and cleaning dirty hands is important.

Being able to split this one soap into four is even better.

I just grabbed these foaming hand soap bottles from Amazon, poured a fourth of the concentrate in, and filled the rest with water.

Want to guess how many cleaners we had in our house before Young Living?

After clearing out the old and replacing the new I later found 14 bottles in the basement, so…

No telling what we were doing with all those cleaners!

Thieves Household Cleaner one does it all.

*NOTE: This is highly concentrated. There are 29 bottles of cleaner in one.

You can read more about it in 50 Top Ways to Use Thieves Household Cleaner.

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Diffusers

We need the house to smell nice, these homeschooled little nuggets need to focus, and mama needs some chill.

So, we diffuse…all day long!

We had lots to choose from, but Desert Mist is my fave because it’ll diffuse 12 hours.

I’ll put Purification blend in the boys rooms because boys stink and Purification fixes that.

I’ll add something cozy in my room like Orange and Idaho Grand Fir to boost immunity and purify the air, and then some GeneYus from the KidScents line in the homeschool room for the boys.

Isn’t the Desert Mist so pretty?!

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Shower/Get Ready

Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve got going on in the bathrooms fully transferred over to Young Living.

Zero synthetics. No pesticides. Absolutely no filler or fragrance!

How’s that for hormonal strength?!

This is for Mama, Daddy, and boys:

  • Deodorant
  • Bath/Shower Gel
  • Oral Care
  • Makeup & Remover
  • Shaving Oil
  • Haircare
  • Beard oil
  • Perfume
  • Hormone support
  • Skincare
  • Anti-aging
  • Maximum Strength Acne Treatment

It’s crazy to think about all of these in the toxic form that looked so harmless before going into our bloodstream.

It’s such a relief to know everything we’re using is truly safe.

Supplements

The drug mindset is to use a specific medicine or whatever it is forever (i.e. if I take a vitamin C tablet today, I’m locked in for life).

We’ve adopted the supplement mindset with Young Living.

We take what we need when our bodies need it, and don’t stress when we don’t.

That’s why we use our Subscribe and Save orders to add to our arsenal of health; now it’s there when we need it.

How do I know when to take them?

It tells me on the side of the bottle.

As I’m writing this it’s during the pandemic and it’s winter.

So we’re using Super Vitamin D and other immune boosters from Young Living right now!

Laundry

I’ve long given up on being on top of laundry, but I do feel great about what I use on our clothes!

First of all, Thieves Laundry Detergent dilutes out like crazy, which you can read about here.

That saves us lots each month!

Then, we use this laundry freshener or these safe fabric softeners to make life easy.

It’s crazy how our air quality changed when we got rid of old detergents and softeners!

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Heading Out with the Family

I’ll pack Young Living Einkhorn granola, water bottles, Young Living sunscreen, Young Living bug spray, and Young Living after sun to make sure we’re ready to go.

Of course we’ve always got those must-haves with kids, like this first aid spray, Owie blend, and lots of bandaids because…kids.

This is just a small sampling of the over-the-counters Young Living provides to make our life easier.

We also really rely on the Full Spectrum CBD!

Dinner, Unwinding, and Bedtime

We’ve got our lineup of Vitality oils (those we can ingest) for cooking.

To unwind, the boys’ rooms will get their diffusers refilled with their nighttime oils.

What’s really cool is that since their rooms were diffusing immune boosting and air purifying oils all day, they’re settling down into a an amazing space for optimal sleep.

Of course I keep my standbys in the hall for anything night time can bring:

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Easy as Pie

Remember getting your first place?

Running out to grab all of your basics?

This time you get to do it right and save tons of money in the process.

We took advantage of the Subscribe and Save option to save a ton and budget best, and boy does it work! You can read all about it here.

If you’re ready to get rolling and can see this lifestyle fitting right into your very own, this is your next step!

If you need a one-on-one conversation, I’d absolutely love to hear from you! Let’s connect by emailing me at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

How to Get Young Living Essential Oils + FREEBIES!

How to get Young Living Essential Oils and the amazing freebies is simple!

I’ll walk you through how in this post!

High Value, Lower Cost

By now you’ve read about our journey with essential oils and why it absolutely had to be Young Living.

Maybe you could picture yourself making the switch to this new lifestyle after following our family through a day in our oily life.

However you landed here, know you’re in the right place for a healthy change and to save tons of money compared to your old, toxic lifestyle.

This post walks you through how to get Young Living oils, what their toxin-free lifestyle really looks like, and what your options are.

First Decision: Wholesale or Retail

We were so sick of putting bandaids on everything and were ready for a real change.

Because we didn’t want to be roped into anything where we were forced to sell or spend any certain amount, we made Young Living fit our lifestyle.

Retail means to buy at full price.

Wholesale gives you discounts and the ability to choose the monthly program to budget (which you can read about here).

Becoming a Wholesale Member

Wholesale makes the most sense if you’re looking for more than just an oil or a bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner.

You’ve got a few different kit options here:

Frequently Asked Questions

DOES SIGNING UP MAKE ME A “DISTRIBUTOR”?

Nope! You aren’t ever required to sell.

When you become a wholesale member, you get a special link you can share with friends and get credit from their purchases, but there are no minimum sales amounts if you choose to use it.

In fact, 90% of the wholesale members in Young Living don’t do the business side at all. They’re buying from Young Living because of the quality.

WHAT ABOUT MINIMUM PURCHASES?

There are NO minimum monthly purchase requirements.

To remain a wholesale member, you have to make $50 worth of purchases per year to keep your membership.

But if there’s a year that you don’t make a $50 purchase, you can reinstate your wholesale membership discount by just placing a $50 order.

If you do find yourself making regular purchases each month, then Young Living has a rewards program (called Essential Rewards) where you can make a nice percentage back in product credit each month on all of your purchases.

So that’s a great program to join if you find that you *want* to purchase regularly (but it’s not a requirement for being a wholesale member).

WHY SHOULD I BUY FROM YOUNG LIVING INSTEAD OF OTHER ESSENTIAL OILS COMPANIES?

It does seem like a new essential oils company pops up every day, doesn’t it? 

I can’t speak to the quality of other companies, but I can say that Young Living was the only company in my research of essential oil companies that could answer all of my questions about purity in a way that was satisfactory to me.

Young Living was the only company that:

  • Has their own farms (in the regions where the plants should be grown)
  • Could guarantee that no pesticides or herbicides were used in the growing of any of their oils (they use essential oils for pest control and they do all of the weeding by hand). Organic is not pesticide or herbicide free. It’s a step down.
  • Has their own testing equipment (they do both in-house and 3rd party testing, and use many different testing methods not just GC/MS which only tests for certain chemicals, not whether those chemicals are synthetic or not)
  • Only uses the first distillation of oils instead of adding chemicals to get more out of the plant.

Young Living also was the only company that was directly in charge of essential oil farming operations.

Every other company I researched goes through some kind of an “oil broker” to buy their oils. Even if they’re “sustainably sourced,” that’s not something you want.

They have to trust that the oil broker is telling the truth, who has to trust that the essential oil distilleries are telling the truth, who have to trust that the farmers are telling the truth about what they say they are doing.

With Young Living, you just have to trust one company instead of several.

I felt the most comfortable trusting Young Living since they’re a full-disclosure company.

ANYONE can visit the farms, participate in the harvesting and distillation, view the Young Living labs, and see the entire process. That’s not an option with any other company!

HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH OILS TO USE FOR WHAT?

One of the benefits of getting a starter kit is that you also get to join our private Facebook group that’s specifically for questions about essential oils!

My weekly usage tips and recipes will text straight to you making life even simpler!

DOES YOUNG LIVING ONLY SELL ESSENTIAL OILS?

The answer to this one was surprising to me when I first got my starter kit!

Young Living uses their pesticide-free, synthetic-free, fragrance free, people over profit model to create over 600 lifestyle products.

Most all of these are concentrated, so it’s like buying bulk in small bottles saving you lots in the process.

Thanks so much for reading and please email me at andrea@gospalchapter.com for any other questions!

Most Effective Natural First-Aid Spray

This simple and most effective natural first-aid spray is easy to make, stores well, travels great, and has helped our boys a ton!

As a mom to two ornery little boys, it’s important to have an effective first-aid spray on hand.

It needs it to be cost-effective, easy to keep on hand, and it must travel well.

I also want it to be as safe as possible. What’s on the store shelves is full of sketchy synthetics that can harm my boys.

So instead, I toss this together in just a few, quick steps.

Read here about the only choice our family makes for safe lifestyle needs.

Quick DIY

I love this simple DIY from The Essential Oils Reference Guide:

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

  • This first-aid spray is for minor cuts and abrasions. If you have a serious cut or wound, consult your physician.
  • Pour distilled water into spray bottle. Add the drops of essential oils, and shake to mix.
  • Clean all cuts and abrasions thoroughly and then spray the area with the first-aid spray.
  • You may want to cover the area with the sterile gauze to which you have applied 3 drops of Lavender.
  • This application should be repeated 2 times daily as necessary.
  • After 3 days, you should allow the cut or abrasion to be exposed to the air, if possible.

Must Know Info:

I can only suggest Young Living essential oils because:

  1. They’re the only pesticide-free grown essential oil (no, not even organic pesticides)
  2. There are zero synthetics added.
  3. There are no fragrances added.
  4. I can see all this with my own two eyes (and have) by going to the farms all over the world myself.

If you don’t have access to these superior oils from the company that pioneered oils in our country, click here.

Your Support will Look Like…

I’ll reach out to add you into my private group and weekly education texts so you’ll never have to do this alone.

You’ll also be able to message me directly to ask any questions.

Our family hasn’t been the same since we started Young Living.

We’ve completely detoxed our home, and this has lead to wellness beyond what I even knew possible!

This simple and most effective natural first-aid spray is easy to make, stores well, travels great, and has helped our boys a ton!

A New Generation: Rising Up to Be Well

Each generation tries to gift their kids a better life. Our generation may be the first to get it all wrong.

From birth, our parents made trade school, college, or some form of secondary education was our top priority .

We’ve handled with those gifts in our own ways.

We reaped those rewards (or paid heavily for them).

But to gift our kids the same, is putting them so far out in left field, they may never get a chance to play ball.

However, it may not be for the reason you’re imagining.

Why We’re So Off Base

For decades upon decades, we’ve been told schooling is the only way to get ahead.

However, at closer inspection, take a look at what this generation has that their dial-up parents didn’t.

They’re dripping with information. Lousy with it.

They carry it in their pockets for crying out loud.

Yet we still harp at them that this is it. The one thing that will make or break them.

We have to sound absolutely crazy. They get that education is important. It’s common knowledge to this generation. Common. Knowledge. Nothing to pass along, friend.

They get it.

Meanwhile, cancer rates are soaring, diseases are running rampant, and obesity is a sickness a huge amount of Americans have denied is even a problem.

How in this world do we expect our children to become adults that can use their education if they’re too sick to show up to a job?

What Needs Fixing

The main issues are hard to see. Like…really hard to see.

Why?

Every other commercial on the television is pushing the problems and treating them like gifts.

The main issues we need to resolve for our kids are:

1. Food

You’ve heard the old adage: food is medicine.

That’s no joke.

Prepackaged “healthy” foods are immediately unhealthy.

Pesticide-sprayed fruits and vegetables are flat out proven to have less nutrition than organic and chemical free produce.

Our children drink more sugar in one beverage than they should consume in an entire day.

Yet we’re surprised when we see the charts shouting at us that we’re sicker than ever…

The only way around this is to find chemical-free and organic farms that we can buy from to bring costs down. To budget in organics just like we do a cell phone bill.

If you’re reading this in the Dayton, Ohio area or you’d just like to see some great examples, visit Three Trees Farm or Eat Food For Life. Read their websites and about their practices.

This education is priceless.

2. Lifestyle Products

We were shocked at how many “safe” products were full of synthetics, fragrances, and pesticides.

How can companies get away with this?

We keep buying it!

We’ve got to look into what we put on our body and in our air, friends!

This is dire. And I do mean DIRE.

The average American home is up to five TIMES more toxic than the most populated and industrialized cities!

It’s no wonder the cause of 95% of cancers is toxins.

Every single hour of burning a candle in your home is the same, toxicologists say, as smoking a cigarette.

Imagine putting a cigarette in your baby’s mouth.

What do we expect when detergents and soaps marked cancerous and hormone disrupting are marketed to children?

Dependency on Medicine

I could talk about this and the lifestyle products for hours, but I’ll be brief.

Somehow we’ve forgotten that medicine is a LAST RESORT.

Somewhere in the last twenty years we decided that popping a pill or dropping acetaminophen in our kids’ mouths every time their temperature goes above 99 degrees is fixing the problem.

Please. We have to stop. Now.

Don’t you see?

If you fix the food and lifestyle products issue and you use Young Living to work home remedies then you WON’T NEED THE MEDICINE!

But instead, we toss aside those little square side effects pamphlets assuming that our docs wouldn’t prescribe them to us if those effects weren’t like…the freak accidents, right?

But what you’re not reading (and what your doctor isn’t telling you) is all the little things that are happening to your body every time you take something you could fix naturally.

All those things you did to your body and passed on to your child that they’ll genetically pass on to theirs.

Remember who makes a LOT of money from every prescription or synthetic medicine labeled “natural” the next time you head into your local drug store.

You have a decision to make. A gift to give.

And I get it.

I was afraid to throw the aspirin and acetaminophen away until Young Living proved itself for a year.

But I do urge you to make the decision sooner than later, friends.

Where to Start

I’d love to tell you to go out and buy all the white labeled stuff at the store and make yourself a new clean home with a Target cart full of new bottles, but I can’t.

I know because I tried it myself, and it didn’t work. Here’s why.

Step one is to go here .

Get started with making the changes bit by bit.

Need ideas for what to get first?

What to Get

  1. CLEAN YOUR AIR: get a diffuser (I suggest the Desert Mist)
  2. CLEAN YOUR LAUNDRY: grab the Thieves Laundry Detergent. It dilutes out to 16 bottles and you’ll get the recipe when I add you to our Facebook community.
  3. CLEAN YOUR EVERYTHING ELSE: Thieves Household Cleaner is 29 bottles in one. You can get rid of EVERY. SINGLE. CLEANER. IN. YOUR. HOME. No, this isn’t a joke. Yes, it kills the germs. We’ve done it for 4 years. I’d not beat my head against a wall for four years if it didn’t work like a charm…hello!
  4. SET UP A LOYALTY BOX: this will give you a % back on each monthly box you get. You’ll choose what goes in (think oils for remedies and prevention, personal care/toiletries, makeup, supplements, CBD, etc) and remember, most all dilute out to save you tons. What you can’t dilute, you can use your % back to get for free!

YOU CAN DO THIS!

Set small goals for yourself each month.

  1. What can you swap out at the store for a Young Living product?
  2. What can you buy organic this week instead of conventional?

Living on a budget?

You’ll be shocked by how much money is left over for organics when you take out pop/soda, cookies, chips, and prepackaged snacks and stop running to the pharmacy and turn to oils instead.

This will be the most rewarding gift you’ve ever given your family.

When your children are reaping the rewards as adults and teaching their children, your grandbabies, how to create a home the right way, you’ll be so very glad you read this, took action, and never looked back.

Top 5 Prepper Must Haves

Top 5 Light Prepper Must Have Items

While we aren’t panicking about the new virus, we have been thinking about our top 5 light prepper must have items.

Those guys haven’t left their homes in a month.

Would we have what we needed if that were us?

I’m not so sure I’m 100% on board with the full-on prepper thinking, which is why I’ve labeled this light prepping.

Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Here’s our top 5.

HanesInk

1. Life Pitcher

We need water, right?

If our source to clean water was somehow cut off, I’d like to know I could give my family one of our most basic needs.

This Life Pitcher would come in handy if the situation warranted it.

2. Immunity Items

Let me be super frank with you.

The immune boosts in the store don’t work.

They have synthetic flavoring, cane syrup, and sugar.

Sugar=lowered immune system.

Not exactly ideal in our current situation, let alone one where we couldn’t get medical attention.

The Thieves line through Young Living is super concentrated but comes in small bottles.

For example…

One bottle of cleaner has 29 spray bottles worth of cleaner!

One bottle of oil is 300 drops!

One foaming hand soap is really three!

In addition, it just makes good sense to get on their Essential Rewards program.

It saves our family over $2,000 per year compared to shopping at the store!

These highly concentrated products last, which is exactly what we’re looking for when preparing for the unknown.

Click the picture below to get your own Thieves Kit.

3. Illness Items

Everything over-the-counter is not only not that effective, but it’s super damaging and immune lowering.

Get these main items in your life that last a good, long while and are highly effective!

Here’s a quick rundown of what our family has used the last three years.

*Note: anything outside Young Living will only further do harm because of chemicals sprayed on plants and/or synthetics added to the final products.

Our family uses the following:

Germs (bacteria and viral): Thieves, Frankincense, Lemon, Inner Defense capsules

Cuts: Lavender, Owie

Chest Congestion: R.C., Raven, Cypress, Breathe Again

Rashes: Lavender, Tea Tree

Stomach Issues: DiGize, Peppermint

Eight of those are in this Premium Starter Kit.

A fast way to have this delivered to you directly: click here.

4. Heirloom Seeds

Keeping heirloom seeds handy in case you’d have to raise your own food is a good idea.

Here are some organic, non-gmo options that will help boost your overall health along with your immunity builders mentioned above.

5. 72 Hour Kit

This has four packs of the must-have items if a serious needs arise.

It will last you three days, and it has all of your basics in one single pack.

This is something I could get on board with, being a light prepper.

I think one of my biggest issues with prepping is imagining a ton of items we may or may not use laying all over the house.

That’s why I love the concentrated Young Living products, the small packages of heirloom seeds, etc.

Final Thoughts

While I may not be fully on the prepper train just yet, I will say having watched the past couple months unfold has made me wonder.

What would our little family of four do if we were bound to our home and couldn’t get out for medical attention?

How would we handle low food, water, or energy?

I may not be lining shelves with canned food just yet, but these five basics could be a way to give us a little peace of mind.

Handle Stress for Good

Learn a few simple, cost-effective ways to handle your stress naturally and how to equip yourself with your own just right tools.

Learn how to handle stress for good with these super simple additions to your wellness routine.

1. Safe Essential Oils

Because of pesticides, fragrance, and/or synthetics used in every other oil company, I can only in good conscience recommend Young Living.

You can learn more here.

*Note: Each 15mL bottle has around 300 drops; each 5mL, 100.

  1. Diffuse: Use your diffuser and choose from Lemon, Lavender, Stress Away or Peace & Calming. Diffuse 2-3 drops. My favorites are Lavender and Stress away.
  2. Breathe Deep: Put a drop of Trauma Life or Release in your hand. Rub your hands together. Cup over your nose, and breathe deeply.
  3. Roller Bottle: Repurpose an old 15mL oil bottle or get multiple new rollers here. Add 20-30 drops of your favorite stress relieving oil. Then fill the rest with carrier oil like our V-6 oil. Roll on the bottoms of your feet or on the back of your neck.

2. Nutritionals

  • SleepEssence: Combines lavender, vetiver, valerian, and Ruta graveolens essential oils with the melatonin (youngliving.com).

3. Sleep

Sleep is hugely important to your overall health as well as how you handle emotional and situational stresses.

Try for sleep around the same time each night. Turn off your WiFi and set your phone to airplane mode to get a better night’s sleep.

4. Massage Oils

Young Living has 7 different massage oils. I recommend the Relaxation Massage Oil or making a quick DIY with one of the stress-relieving blends mentioned above.

For a quick guide, dilute 1 drop essential oil to 4 drops carrier like the V-6 from Young Living.

Final Thoughts

I encourage you to dig into preventing stress rather than waiting until you’re overwhelmed to grab what you need.

This is why it’s so important to have Young Living essential oils wellness arsenal with Subscribe and Save.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, right?

Let’s be proactive to keep our minds sharp, emotions in balance, and stress levels low.

Learn a few simple, cost-effective ways to handle your stress naturally and how to equip yourself with your own just right tools.

Top 10 Most Powerful Immune Boosts

The most powerful immune boosts on the market might surprise you, and what you're using now could be lowering your immune system.

In this article, I will share the top 10 most powerful immune boosts.

These are keystone products for every home’s health and wellbeing.

*Note: any underlined item is linked directly to its website for easy viewing.

1.DITCH Disinfectant Cleaners SWITCH to Thieves Household Cleaner

  • Lysol and those like it are super dangerous and lower your immune function immensely
  • Lysol is a pesticide
  • Thieves Household Cleaner has zero pesticides
  • It kills 99.96% of germs
  • Thieves Household Cleaner dilutes to be around seventy five cents per bottle

*Note: Thieves Household Cleaner is a concentrate. You put one capful in a spray bottle then use around the house. This IS different from Thieves essential oil or any of the rest of the Thieves line of products from Young Living.

2. DITCH Store Sanitizers SWITCH to Thieves Hand Sanitizer

  • Store sanitizers harm genital growth and function
  • Store sanitizers are drying and harm your hormones/endocrine disruptors
  • Thieves Hand Sanitizer has zero pesticides or body-harming ingredients
  • It boosts immune and respiratory system
  • Thieves Hand Sanitizer kills 99.99% of germs

3. DITCH “Vitamin C” OTCs SWITCH to Thieves Essential Oil, Super C

  • The most popular Vitamin C OTC has 7g sugar (hugely immune lowering)
  • Vitamin C OTCs have coloring and “natural flavoring,” which is code for not real in the least
  • Vitamin C OTCs have synthetic flavoring. Your body isn’t synthetic, and it doesn’t respond well to it. It’s like kicking your immune system while it’s down.
  • Vitamin C OTCs have corn syrup solids (um…no thanks)
  • Thieves essential oil blend kills bad bacteria and leaves the good. Put it in a capsule or in your favorite tea for a real immune boost
  • Super C is a Young Living essential oil-infused supplement.

*Note: Each bottle of Thieves essential oil at 15mL is roughly 300 drops. A 5mL bottle is around 100 drops. This really lasts and is super economical! Think about how cheap those other pesticide-filled oils are…there’s a reason!! Young Living is hand-weeded, never sprayed with any pesticide, and there are zero fragrance or synthetics added ever!

4. Sleep Exercise, Organic Fruit + Veggies + Thieves F+V Soak!

The first two are easy to understand. What’s up with this Fruit and Veggie Soak, though?

  • Organic fruits and veggies are gassed with carcinogenic preservatives while they travel across the country or as they come from other countries
  • You can literally see these in the water after using Thieves Fruit and Veggie Soak
  • The wash stretches super far and lasts a good, long time saving your health and money

*Note: Super concentrated, too. One small capful in a big bowl of water each time stretches nicely!

5. DITCH Store-Bought Hand Soaps SWITCH to Thieves Hand Soap

  • Store-bought hand soaps kill all germs, even the good ones you need to be well
  • They have synthetics, which lowers immune function
  • Store-bought hand soaps have fragrance, which lowers immune function
  • Thieves Hand Soap kills the bad and keeps the good.
  • Thieves Hand Soap has zero pesticides, fragrance, or synthetics

*Note: Like the Thieves Household Cleaner, the hand soap is also concentrated. I get four or five bottles out of one. Take about 2TBS of your concentrate and put it into a foam bottle like this one and fill the rest with water.

6. Minimize Stress

Stress affects the immune system.

Thankfully, there are a ton of Young Living options for reducing stress.

  • Stress Away, Peace & Calming, and Lavender work within your amygdala to literally reduce stress
  • Pray. Lay your cares at the feet of Jesus. I cannot stress this enough as a mama who has had to do this plenty of times!
  • Breathing and exercise

7. DITCH Store-Bought Elderberry SWITCH to Organic and Pesticide-Free

8. DITCH ALL FRAGRANCE

I cannot stress this enough.

Fragrance is one of the scariest chemicals in our homes, and we don’t even know it.

  • Fragrance damages your endocrine system
  • You need a strong endocrine system to have a strong immune system

9. Bust those Unscented + Fragrance Free MYTHS

  • Unscented is a term for adding fragrance-masking chemicals.
  • Fragrance-Free is a term for using fragrance for something other than odor.
  • See #8 for why these don’t fit the bill for immune boosting lifestyle

10. Boost Water with Lemon Essential Oil + Vitality Drops

  • Lemon oil is flushing.
  • It’s immune boosting
  • Lemon oil is from the rind. It has a neutral pH and never damages tooth enamel.
  • Vitality Drops will help replace lost electrolytes and make your water taste amazing!
  • Young Living is the only company not spraying any of their plants with pesticides, which get into your bloodstream and wreak havoc. Thank You, God for Young Living!

Final Thoughts

The best way to make these switches is to utilize the Subscribe and Save option. This gets you 24% off and you’re able to keep a slow and steady approach to your wellness.

When you spend at least 50PV each month (not a requirement, just a Loyalty program you can choose like we do!), you get points back to spend like cash on your next order.

This will help you take a huge leap toward a strong immune system.

You’ll be able to ditch and switch the scary cleaners, personal care products, and fragrances!

I can’t wait to hear how these simple switches absolutely transform your home from good to great!

The most powerful immune boosts on the market might surprise you, and what you're using now could be lowering your immune system.
