Toolkit for Stings

Liz James · February 26, 2024 ·

This is the 4th time I’ve been stung by one of these Texas scorpions

in the last 25 years.

This time: Twice, in rapid succession on the instep of my right foot. Gah!!!

However, it’s the first sting in the last 11 years …. and since that last zinger, I’ve acquired skills

and tools

that I use confidently to manage the rottenness of getting stung.

A quick application of Lavender, a layer of Purification, and a little detox Charcoal mask over the sting.

Pretty much almost immediate and complete relief (these stings can smart for a long time)

What’s in your toolkit for bites and stings?

Health Consequences

Liz James · February 22, 2024 ·

I was pondering this question earlier today

….because there are soooooo many things I would have done differently back in the day if I only had known then what I know now. #healthconsequences

I finally settled upon this one: I was diagnosed with endometriosis in about 1983…. Honestly, I was probably among the first to get that diagnosis (because it wasn’t “a thing” back then). I was 16 years old. My doctor put me on birth control pills to control the endo, and we (my parents and I) never questioned the safety of them, especially long term. I was on them for a VERY LONG time. If I had known then what I know now, I would have told my younger self to explore all other non-prescriptive options ( and there are holistic options out there ) but avoid birth control at all costs.

What would it be if you could tell your younger self to do something differently concerning your health?

Great Love and Frequency

Liz James · February 14, 2024 ·

Good morning friends!

Happy Valentine’s Day…. make it what you will and what you want it to be, but above all else, embrace the act of love (there are at least 7 different kinds!)

We are all different and we all have different attitudes and views of February 14th based upon our individual life history. Somehow, the act of love got commercialized a looooong time ago and was pinned to the 14th of February ….. I mean, shouldn’t we be celebrating our ability and desire to love one another every day in some form or another?

“…. but the greatest of these is love” ( I Cor 13:13 )

Find your people and let them know somehow/ some way that they matter. That they are loved. That they are important to you. You just never know whose life you will alter by doing so. Every day.

Love is one of the highest-frequency emotions we can have, and WHO doesn’t want high-frequency embodiment? ( Vibrational frequency isn’t woo woo… it’s science. Modern medicine uses vibrational frequencies as diagnostic tools such as EEG’s and EKG’s.) A high vibrational frequency is key to being healthy, and it just feels darn good

Find your best way to love one another. Pair that care with high-frequency oils such as Idaho Blue Spruce, Rose, Helichrysum, Sandalwood, Frankincense, and Lavender. There are more…. lots more! Every essential oil (which has been treated properly during harvesting and distillation) has the power to lift our body’s frequency, especially when paired with positive emotions. See how easy that is?

There’s enough love (and different types of love) for everyone…. every single day of the year:

Eros (passionate love)

Philia (friendship love)

Storge (familial love)

Agape (a love like God loves…. part of one’s character and a love that is undeserved, gracious, and sacrificial)

Ludus (playful uncommitted, undemanding, and uncomplicated type of love)

Pragma (practical love)

Philautia (self-love…. having self-worth)

Every one of us is worthy of giving and receiving love.

I love you! ~ liz

What is the Risk for Cardiovascular Events and Drug Usage

Liz James · February 12, 2024 ·

Question (and I’m truly curious): If a drug prevents 1 cardiovascular event for every 63 high-risk cardiovascular patients every 3 years, but it costs $400 a month, and while on it:

1 out of 10 patients will likely develop gout

1 out of 30 may have tendon rupture or injury

1 out of 100 will likely develop gallstones

(for someone with crazy good math skills, I’d love to know the overall benefits versus risk ratio on this pharmaceutical story problem!

…. might even want to send you a thank you gift because my curiosity is THAT piqued! )

…….. would you take it?

If this condition could instead be managed with intentional lifestyle changes (and you were made aware of that) which included decreasing BMI and lowering chronic inflammation in the body, would doing so be worth it?

Pelvic Floor Health Tips

Liz James · February 11, 2024 ·

My friend and colleague Miranda knows her stuff. The results of a misunderstood, mismanaged, or under-maintained pelvic floor are probably one of the most common health and wellness complaints for women (and men too!). There ARE answers out there…… and little things implemented can add up to big victories.
