Toolkit for Stings

· ·

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?

Great Love and Frequency

· ·

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

Young Living’s Love Gifts for February

· ·

Happy February 💖friends! Yes, it’s the “month of love”….. in other words, it’s a month of high frequency emotions! And “the greatest of these is love” , right? (I Cor 13:13).

Did you know there are 7 different kinds of love? One of those is “philia” love…. friendship or shared goodwill, and Young Living certainly extends that to us each month with all the freebies we are offered. Take a look at what what will come with your qualifying order purchase 💕:

Deep Relief is one of my most favorite muscle 💪and stress helpers! Make your own 10ml roller bottle (x2) with this freebie and multiply your gift….. Find a friend or loved one who has some achy muscles and share the love with them!

Bergamot. Have you smelled it and used it? It has been studied for its properties that support healthy cortisol levels, allowing the body to rest and relax. Give it a try…. you might just fall in love with this beauty is as beauty does!

Any day can be Valentines Day with Sensation oil blend! It smells amazing in a diffuser, when applied to a neck or wrists as a perfume, or when added to some epsom salts for a nice hot bath. Make your own massage oil with Sensation (There won’t be any regrets! 😉)….. Add about 10 drops to coconut oil, and you’ve just created a love potion💘 with benefits! (PS: this is a VIP oil you’ll be hearing more about… along with some others over the next few weeks here!)

Spa day can be any day with the Charcoal Mask. Detoxifying skin and cleaning pores is something both men and women should be doing at least occasionally. The Charcoal Mask also exfoliates while detoxifying and cleaning! (Pro Tip: if you have a bug bite or itchy area, try applying a little dab of the mask to help pull toxins out and speed up the healing process). I think you’ll love the little peppermint fresh tingle that comes along with using it.

Did you know that toxins in our body affect our frequency, which ultimately also affects our emotions? DetoxZyme is a blend of enzymes and essential oils strategically formulated to promote detoxification and support normal digestive function. Keep yourself (or someone you love) healthy, happy and loved from the inside out!

These are all AMAZING health and wellness tools we (Charlie and I) keep in our “toolkit” and I look forward to restocking our shelves!

Hugs and love to each one of you this February, and remember….. nobody loves you more than Jesus! ~ liz

Peppermint to Digestive Rescue

· ·

Have you noticed when you go to many restaurants, they will either give you a peppermint ❤️🤍❤️ with your receipt or will have a bowl of peppermints for you to take from as you are leaving after a meal?
Years ago, I used to assume that those peppermints were either to freshen postprandial breath or to act as a light “sweet” to end the meal. While those little red and white striped disks of sweetness do achieve both, there’s more to the story.🤓 Nowadays, those peppermints are usually synthetically flavored….. But a long time ago, peppermint was the real deal, flavored with peppermint oil that came from a plant🌿, and the candy was full of purpose.
Peppermint (from the plant) 🌿has been known to be digestion-supportive for eons. Its use dates back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and has been a “go-to” herb since biblical times for digestive woes.
From studies found on pubmed.gov and elsewhere, it would appear that peppermint 🌿supports digestion by encouraging bile flow into the small intestine where it promotes healthy digestion by acting in a supportive role in breaking down fats more quickly. The menthol in peppermint🌿 has a strong anti-spasmodic effect which may help calm the action of the muscles within the gut. This allows “things” (ahem… gas and stools) to be encouraged to pass more readily.
Note that peppermint🌿 is best for lower GI while spearmint 🌿is preferred for upper GI support. 😉
I’ll include some interesting studies about peppermint🌿 in the comments. I know many many people who have had life-changing gut health experiences simply by incorporating peppermint (real peppermint!) into their routine.
Have you used peppermint as a digestive aid?I know I have, and I frequently flavor my water with a drop or two!
I’m also thankful that peppermint 🌿is a Young Living freebie this month with a qualifying purchase! 🥰

Benefits of Peppermint Essential Oil

· ·

My goal has always been to become more self-empowered in taking care of myself and my family, and then pay it forward by passing along what I’ve learned so that others can do the same. It’s baby steps all the way….. get good at doing the little things, so you are proficient and confident when the big things go down!
In 2024, I’m making a concerted effort to focus on bringing the science🤓 to you in a way that is easy to understand. Oftentimes, people fear or turn away from what they don’t understand. At the same time, they are often quick to accept what a supposed authority states to be true without doing their research… only to find out much later that the information was🧐 slanted. Discernment and evaluating information are key if we are to be our healthiest version of ourselves!
************************
In addition to Thieves and Lavender, one of the first oils I researched heavily more than a decade ago was Peppermint! (The 15ml size is part of the freebies this month when 190PV is purchased.) I thought it might be fun to kind of unpack some of the science behind this oil over the next few days….. and even then, I’ll only be touching the tip of the iceberg. It’s such a powerhouse🌿💪 plant of versatility!
Starting with the effects of peppermint on the brain 🧠, heart🫀, and lungs🫁….. can a scent affect alertness and focus? You betcha!
Note that YL Peppermint EO can be used topically, diffused, or taken internally. Not all peppermint EO can be used topically or internally because of adulterants. I use peppermint in all 3 ways regularly!
🤓Study 1: involved consuming 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil, and then evaluating both cognitive performance and fatigue at 1 and 3 hours after consuming the peppermint. Note the graph pic…… the 2 drops of EO had a profound effect, especially at the 3rd-hour mark.
🤓Study 2: involved consuming 1 drop of peppermint EO and then exercising. Grip force, vertical and long jumps, blood pressure, heart rate, and breath rate were evaluated at 5 minutes and one hour. Compared to the placebo group, those who received peppermint oil had an average of 36.1% increase in grip force, 7% increase in standing vertical jump, and 6.4% increase in standing long jump. There was also considerable enhancement in the breathing of the peppermint group.
I’ll post links to each study in the comments. Both studies can also be found on the YL website under the “discover the research” button at the bottom of the Peppermint Vitality page.
Stay tuned for more peppermint factoids!
