Lymphatic System

Young Living’s January 2025 Gifts

· ·

Happy, blessed and beautiful 2025 friends! 🥳
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 🤓 ), 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 🥹)
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 💩
✅ 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! 😂
Happy New Year 2025! 🌞

Lymphatic Drainage Challenge 2024

· ·

It’s that time again! The annual lymphatic drainage challenge #loveyourlymphatics ! Have you done this before? Would you like to try it this year? The lymphatic system is so important, and yet so many (even in the medical world) don’t address this VIP system until it’s screaming for help. 😢
Message me privately or comment below if you’d like to be added to the group that does this together once a year (it’s fantastic training… so once you’ve done it, you can care for your lymphatic system properly year-round!)

Benefits of Legs Up The Wall

· ·

It’s pretty safe to say that I suggest this technique at least a few times every week in my coaching calls. If I would add anything to this graphic, it’s this…. fill a sock with dry rice or beans and tie a knot in it. Use that lightweight weight over your eyes and forehead. It will add to the relaxation by quieting the prefrontal cortex (where much “chatter” happens in our minds). Bonus points…. add a few drops of Lavender, Vanilla, Peace &Calming, or whichever oil is speaking to you at the time.
Give it a try! 😉

Why We Love Evergreen

· ·

‘Tis the season! 🎄Whether you are team “artificial tree” or “go real or go home”….. pull out your bottle of Evergreen Essence and add a little extra healthy festive forest into your world❤️🎄❤️.
EVERGREEN ESSENCE & EMOTIONS
🤓Evergreen Essence is a blend of conifer oils, all of which contain alpha-pinene, a constituent that helps the mind and body reach a calming, peaceful environment (no wonder we love the smell of Christmas trees)
Tree oils can be a wonderful tool for processing feelings of Unimportant, Un-nurtured, or Disempowered. The Spruce and Evergreen family of oils are the ones to reach for when you feel like you are comparing yourself to others, are feeling undervalued, or as though your unique voice has no place. The alternate side to feeling unimportant is Empowerment. When we can rest secure in who we are then comparison melts away and our unique blend of magic can shine!
 
🤓A 2011 study in Pharmacognosy Magazine (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3173901/) looked at the anxiolytic effects of an alcohol-based pine needle extract and its ability to soothe depression in rats.
Don’t we all feel like rats 🐀in a race sometimes in our lives🥴.
Bottom line: however you approach it, pine and other conifer essential oils can be powerful health tools❤️….. but only if you open the bottle and use them 😉.
Interestingly, we are often drawn to these oils during the colder months, when we gather with friends and family, remember years past, and even grieve the things we have lost. Pine, Spruce, and Fir are calming and grounding and help us connect to feelings of strength and protection, which is something we need while processing those emotions. Adding Evergreen Essence to your daily routine is a wonderful way to support mental and emotional health during these times!
 
You can learn more about processing and releasing emotions in a book: Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils (https://amzn.to/3F0us4N).
* Diffuse this favorite on its own or with Tangerine, Cinnamon Bark, or Lavender.
* Drop onto porous holiday ornaments to create a passive diffuser.
* Some individuals take this oil in a capsule (diluted with olive or coconut oil) for targeted immune support during and after acute needs.
* Add a few drops directly onto the crown of the head for emotional support. Drop directly onto the scalp and avoid rubbing in and your hair will not be oily! Plus, you’ve now turned your hair into a diffuser. Win-win! 💪
* Make a ‘Roaring 20s’ roller to take advantage of all the immune support of these conifer oils! Apply over lymph nodes, along the spine and/or on the bottom of the feet. In a 10mL roller add:* 20 drops Evergreen Essence, * Optional: 10 drops each Lemon, Frankincense, Geranium
* Fill with carrier. * Use liberally and frequently for acute needs.
 
DIFFUSE
Evergreen Essence is amazing diffused all on its own, or you can try one of these combinations:
* Roaring 20s: 5 drops Evergreen Essence, 3 drops Lemon, 3 drops Frankincense
* Sleep Tight: 4 drops each of Evergreen Essence, Lavender, Tangerine
* Campfire Calm: 4 drops Evergreen Essence, 3 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Vetiver, 2 drops Peppermint
* Relaxation: 4 drops Evergreen Essence, 3 drops Eucalyptus, 3 drops Rosemary, 2 drops Lemon
 
INGREDIENTS: imagine shopping for a real Christmas 🎄there are 14 different tree types to choose from❤️…. now put that scent in a bottle!

Yoga Helps the Lymphatic System

· ·

Just completed my second class in Yoga Medicine over the last few months. Their curriculum takes yoga to the next level…. this particular course focus was on lymphatics, and it it did not disappoint! 🤓🔥🧘‍♀️
 
A few highlight moments for me:
🫶 flow in all systems of the body is key. If any are stagnant, health will, without question, suffer.
🫶even if you think you don’t need to…. help your lymphatic system do its job! Nobody’s got time for excess trash to be sitting around creating mayhem in the body.
🫶 the lymphatic system doesn’t work nearly as well as it could if you are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode.
🫶 the left side of the body does alot more work than the right side when it comes to lymphatic drainage (don’t neglect either side tho!) Lymphatic flow increases 10fold during exercise💪
🫶 deep diaphragmatic breathing is absolutely essential on the daily!… not just for pulling neurological trash out of the brain, but for healthy lymph flow in general. Nobody’s got time for brain diseases!!!! Just do it.
🫶deep sleep is critical for maximum brain cleaning (if you aren’t sleeping, message me, and I’ll give you some tips for improved zzzzzzzz’s🥱)
🫶Risk factors of developing lymphedema include older age, muscle loss, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, sedentary lifestyle, cardiovascular disease, cancer treatment, and post operative recovery period.
🫶just as in detoxing elsewhere, open the exit doors first before loving on your lymphatic system.
