🍂 Autumn Wellness Tips: Essential Oil Blends & Immune Support for Fall

· ·

Before there was social media and Starbucks, what senses and memories clued you in that

🍂
🍁

 Autumn was almost here? 

ðŸĪ”

For me, it was watching the leaves start to change, seeing wispy corn stalk leaves blow in from nearby farms, seeing pumpkins almost ripe on the vine, and of course (at the pharmacy) a full on uptick in people coming in with prescriptions for “the annual Fall crud”. 

I’m so thankful for these Freebies this month! September also heralds football season and like football

🏈

…… the best defense is also a great offense! 

🏈

 Fire up that diffuser and enjoy your own “punkin spice” blend that is your FALL “scent with benefits” (Back to basics pro tip: Healthy alternatives are keeping toxins out of your home …. and out of your body, AND these also help create an inhospitable environment for “the crud” to thrive, unlike the synthetic stuff which tears the immune system down. Win win! ) 

3 drops clove
3 drops cinnamon bark
2 drops nutmeg
1 drop ginger
1-2 drops orange 

OR

4 drops cardamom
3 drops orange
2 drops cinnamon bark
2 drops clove

Now, about those Immugummies! 

😍

Have you tried them before? I use them as a healthy sweet “snack” alternative when I want to pop something sweet in my mouth. These tickle the tastebuds and offer the benefit of elderberries and 1,3 beta-glucans ( a super important component harvested from a type of algae that has been shown to improve immune system response, esp when it comes to upper respiratory tract health). What an easy way to support the immune system! 

Nobody’s got time for “the crud”, especially as we glide into the busiest time of the year! Use your tools 

🏈

 so you can cross your finish line strong!

Beating Illness Before It Beats You: How to Recover Fast with Natural Remedies

· ·

Yesterday was not a good day. By 5pm, I could tell that I had been hit with something bad. By 7pm, I had fever and chills and I ached all over… especially my head.
Tomorrow, I’m headed out of town for a conference in Georgia with Kim, and meeting Ellen once we get there. We are representing BBHB, and I’ve got no time for being sick.
It’s situations like this that underscore the importance of having all the things ready to go. If you don’t have it handy, it’s probably gonna be too late by the time you get it. Often a horrible awful extended time of illness can be avoided by hitting it hard as soon as you know something is amiss.
These were my big hitters over the last 24hrs. Inner Defense, Iver, Engystol (a homeopathic), and Thieves (and a long session of infrared therapy and prayer!).
I’m about 90% better this afternoon, and should be fired up and ready to go by tomorrow morning. Thank goodness!!! I know people who’ve had this nonsense for a couple of weeks. Acting quickly, I was able to kick it to the curb in 24hrs! 🙌🙌
Do you have your toolbox ready to go for unplanned health issues?

Adaptogens: Nature’s Stress-Busting Superheroes for Your Endocrine and Immune Systems

· ·

I’ve been learning some fascinating things recently about adaptogens…… have you heard that term before? ðŸĪ”ðŸĪ“

Adaptogens are a class of herbs/plants that have been used for centuries to support healthy function of the endocrine and immune systems. Of course, way back in the day, people hadn’t yet discovered the endocrine and immune systems…… they just knew that the plant worked! The same can be said for us now…. unless you’re really curious, we don’t necessarily have to know how our oils and supplements work in order to enjoy their benefits!…. the proof is in the outcomes. 😍

Aiding those two systems (endocrine and immune) also positively impacts energy, immunity, cellular repair, mood, sleep, stamina, and focus (There’s more, but I don’t want to write a novel! ðŸĪŠ).

Some examples of adaptogens include ashwaghanda, medicinal mushrooms, maca, licorice, holy basil, ginseng, and rhodiola (there are more!)

One of the many cool things about adaptogens is that, like our Young Living essential oils, they are overall safe and well tolerated (tho as with most herbs and medications, consult your favorite medical professional if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a “narrow therapeutic margin” medical condition, or are generally unsure ✅#duediligence).

I love when traditional herbal medicine is studied scientifically….. not surprisingly when I did a quick search on pubmed.gov I found over 1800 published studies on ashwaghanda alone. ðŸĪ“…. lots of science to back up what we already have learned generationally through experience!

I am aware of at least 6 Young Living supplements which contain one or more of the adaptogens I listed above. Can you name them? 🙂

Young Living’s January 2025 Gifts

Happy, blessed and beautiful 2025 friends! ðŸĨģ
Are you putting a plan in to place for 2025 to see your goals, dreams, and visions bear fruit? I’d love to see / hear what those are so we can cheer each other on! (Everyone needs a cheering squad to help them cross the finish line 🙏💖). Comment below so we can help each other out. I will leave one of my goals in the comments below too.
Young Living is offering us 3 tools for free if your goals include moving your body more, improving your gut health (which is a crucial cornerstone to total body health ðŸĪ“ ), or feathering your nest with happiness.
Deep Relief….. regardless if you’ve been a gym rat for years, or you are stepping into a gym for the first time in your life, this oil blend is a great companion! (It’s also great for those times when you’ve spent way too much time in front of a computer and need a little neck/ shoulder relief ðŸĨđ)
Grapefruit….. such a versatile oil, and one of my favorites! Not only is it a scientifically proven “happy” oil, it also has some really interesting effects on the lymphatic system ( one of the reasons it’s part of YL’s Cel-lite magic massage oil 😉).
Life 9…… unless you are purposeful about eating fermented foods every single day (as people used to do in every culture around the world), everyone needs to prime their digestive system daily with a good probiotic. Why?
✅ support daily elimination ðŸ’Đ
✅ support a healthy immune system
✅ support healthy mood and neurotransmitter production
✅ support healthy excess estrogen metabolism
✅ beneficially modulates stress response
✅ and about 100 more things, but I know you want to get on with your day! 😂
