Have you heard of orthomolecular medicine? If not, I highly suggest you look it up. It is absolutely fascinating and can honestly help support people suffering from some pretty significant conditions. Orthomolecular medicine is defined by Webster’s dictionary as “a theory according to which disease may be cured by providing the optimum amounts of substances (such as vitamins) normally present in the body” (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Yes, these vitamins and supplements are present in the body already, but not in the amounts needed to fight things off when the body is taxed and burdened.
Vitamin and Mineral Deficiency
I will be going more into orthomolecular medicine in another episode, but today I want to chat with you about my favorite supplements. I started out the episode with a definition of orthomolecular medicine because it is the exact reason why I do not believe that we can live on diet alone! Almost every single issue or ailment we are struggling with as a society can be traced back to some sort of vitamin or mineral deficiency.
Check out some of these Quotes around the Issue:
Grab your common sense essential oil for today’s episode and either place 5-10 drops in your diffuser, or 2 drops on the palm of your hand, rub your palms together, and breathe in deeply three to four deep breaths. Common sense is an oil that helps to open your mind up to hear new information and to be open to that information. If you do not have common sense essential oil, grab frankincense instead.

When God created the original plants, he created essential oils. They were spoken into existence and given to man for nourishment. Did you know that 1 drop of essential oil contains 40 trillion molecules? Yes, 40 trillion. Just to put that into perspective, our body contains 100 trillion cells. One single drop of essential oil can cover every cell in your body with thousands of life-giving molecules. It is amazing to me that something so small can be so big and have such a significant impact on our health when used consistently over time. Isn’t God good?

In episode 18 I talked about greenwashing, what it was, and the fact that yes, it does exist! Basically, greenwashing is when a company does not actually take the time to make their product cleaner, more environmentally friendly, and less toxic, but spend plenty of effort advertising that they do. This should actually be illegal, but unfortunately it is not.

How many of you mom’s out there have ever sat next to your limp child wondering if there was anything you could do to make them feel better? I know I have. I have laid next to a child with itchy skin or feeling incredibly hot, wishing there was something I could do quickly to take it away from them. I have laid there praying that God would give me direction on which route to take in order to effectively help them recover fully. I get it. I have been there. I understand the worry, frustration, and fear. When our family started using essential oils and finding supplements that worked for each child to help with his or her needs, I felt so empowered. I felt as if someone had lit a fire under me because I finally had tools to help my family the way a mother should be able to help.
If you have GenYus essential oil please grab it, put a couple of drops of the oil on the palms of your hands, rub your palms together, and cup your hands over your mouth. Breath in three long, slow, deep breaths. Put the remaining oil from your palms on the back of your neck right below your hairline. If you do not have GenYus try common sense essential oil or the new KidPower blend from Young Living.

Picking my five top oils is incredibly difficult for me to do. This is because every day my needs are fluid; therefore, I prefer a different set of oils than what I maybe used the previous day. If you have been listening to my podcast for a while, you probably have figured out that I like to start with an oil. So this week, let’s grab Frankincense (which is my top oil and was my gateway to falling in love with oils), and put a couple of drops on the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, cup your hands over your mouth, and breathe in three long, slow deep breaths.

Have you ever purchased something thinking it was a great deal? That it was a clean and natural product, and you were supporting your family’s health? Only to find out later that you just paid for a much more expensive version of the synthetic chemically laden version you were already using? Unfortunately, so many companies do this. It is called greenwashing. It is frustrating, deceiving, and should be illegal. However, the food and drug administration (FDA) continues to allow companies to confuse consumers.
When I first started my natural health journey I would get so excited because I would go to the store, find a product that was “safe” and labeled natural, get it home, and use it on my family or myself. Then I dove into the ingredients a bit more and realized it was actually not as safe and natural as what I had anticipated. I would be frustrated because my initial glance at the front label was deceiving. It probably said something like, “green” or “all-natural.”
Greenwashing Defined
The Cambridge Dictionary (2020) says greenwashing is designed “to make people believe that your company is doing more to protect the environment than it really is.”

It seems almost all businesses have a reward program in today’s world. One more subscription seems daunting to some people. Honestly, I thought that when I started with Young Living’s reward program. But I knew that I needed an arsenal for my family. An arsenal of supplies to turn to if something should happen and we needed some natural health tools on hand. I looked at the $50 monthly minimum purchase and could not fathom our family being able to afford it. It scared me to add another $50 a month to our budget. When I did the figuring on Young Living’s reward program, I realized it was simply the most inexpensive way to get high quality supplements and essential oils in my home. So I cringed and enrolled in Essential Rewards. I knew full well that Young Living makes it incredibly easy to back out of their reward program. It is a simple phone call. This made it much more enticing to think about. If I did not know what to order next month, I would just cancel the rewards quickly and easily. However, I never cancelled. Five years later, I am still ordering monthly, and plan on continuing to.

Have you heard of the Raindrop Technique created by Gary Young? It is honestly one of the most amazing wellness tools I have tried. Basically a massage therapist (or friend, as you do not need to be licensed to give a raindrop massage) applies a series of oils on the spine of someone’s back in a specific pattern to help support their immune system and clean up any back issues. This is great when someone is fighting something off that is dragging down their immune system and for helping to bring one’s spine back into alignment so it remains healthy and strong. People with spinal issues that are life altering have seen amazing benefits from this type of massage (Young & Lawrence, 2003, pg 207-230).

Because typical conventional methods shut down the immune system and kill beneficial gut bacteria, it is incredibly important to catch issues before they get out of control. However, in my years of working in natural health, I have seen how well proper supplementation can work, even in the roughest cases. It is so important to have someone help you find the right balance that may work for you. I would love to have you join my Wellness Team! This journey has brought so much joy to our family that I cannot keep it a secret!

Let’s be perfectly honest my friends. This year has been a whirlwind. I know I have gone up and down and all around, wondering what in the world is going on and trying to figure out how to be a blessing to others, while still being strong when things get tough. I am grateful for God’s Word, the truth to always come back to when I am questioning what is going on yet again. I am also grateful for God’s gift of plants to continue to use to help support emotions.

Keeping your lymphatic systems clean and detoxified is just one more way you can help support your health naturally. Doing some of these things can definitely help your health in the long run. If you are experiencing a symptom from an overrun lymphatic system, remember it is important to remove the toxin just as much as we need to cleanse the system. For example, if you have a deodorant that contains heavy metals, you should first get rid of the deodorant before detoxing the lymphatic system or immediately afterwards. If you detox and then add the synthetic chemical or heavy metal directly back into your system, you are not going to see a ton of progress. That is why it is so important to check your personal care products to make sure they are safe and clean with ingredients that are not going to continue to add toxins to your body.

Now that we are in full fledged summer mode, it is a great time to talk about sunscreen, vitamin D, and all the things to keep us healthy. Vitamin D is a vital nutrient necessary for the immune system to function properly. We can and should supplement vitamin D, but getting it naturally from the sun is absolutely the best form. So, I am going to tell you something you may not be used to hearing! Put away the sunscreen laden with toxic synthetic chemicals, take your sunglasses off, and enjoy a bit of natural sunlight.

It is called glutathione!

Today, I am not talking about the vitamin C you get from eating an orange or an over the counter inexpensive bottle of vitamin C that has a citrus/tangy taste to it. Now, do not get me wrong, eating oranges is a great practice. You should be eating real food, and an orange is real food (not orange juice, an actual orange that you peel). The amount of vitamin C in an orange is good when you are healthy, but if you need to get rid of a disease, infection, or illness, you need massive amounts of vitamin C, and high quality vitamin C is often not found in over the counter supplements.

Pure, therapeutic grade essential oils are NOT little plugins that you put in your room to make it smell pretty. They are so much more! A citrus freshening oil blend comes in many oil starter kits because of the amazing benefits this little oil can do, such as, clean, uplift your mood, and make your house an oasis for anyone who walks in.
Citrus essential oils are incredibly beneficial for everyone internally and aromatically (to breathe in). Please check out my fourth podcast called, For the Love of Lemon to find out more information about why lemon essential oil is so incredibly important in your daily life. If you need a little more kick than just lemon, a citrus blend would be your go-to.

I have a personal story with almost every single oil I talk about in my podcasts, but this digestive blend happens to be one that I really hold dear to me. I had no idea what this nasty smelling oil could possibly do for me when I first got my starter kit and began using essential oils. So it sat there, untouched, for months. Then I started researching. I looked into what to use the blend for, and what it was capable of. I still do not know all of the fabulous benefits of this oil, but I do know that it is one that I will not be without because of the changes I have seen in my own personal life.

Today we are going to dive into a group of oils and talk about what makes them so amazing when blended together into one essential oil. Before we start, grab your peppermint essential oil, put a couple drops in the palm of your hand, rub your palms together, bring your palms to your nose, and breathe in deeply. Put a small amount on your temples and your upper back. This helps me focus, concentrate, and stay alert.
We are going to talk about five oils today that are amazingly important in the world of essential oils. These oils blend together in one bottle because they work so well together. The oils that make up some of these profound blends include: clove, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary.

Thanks for tuning in!

Today we are going to talk about a highly debated topic. Is it safe to ingest essential oils? I have heard so many conflicting opinions on this topic, and a quick google search will have you so confused you will probably throw all of this healthy living stuff right out the door in frustration! Please, I urge you my friend, do not google to find out if something is safe. Use credible sources to find your information; read, learn, and then make your own educated decisions. The information in this episode is simply my opinion based on loads of research and personal experience. I do encourage you to remember that your body is different from mine, so you will need to do what works best for you. Sometimes, the hardest part about healing our bodies naturally is that there is truly no prescriptive method that works for everyone. You do need to try a few things and see what will work best for you. Products Featured on Today’s Broadcast

In this episode we are going to talk about trying something new. Sometimes when it comes to our health we get “stuck in a rut.” We see patterns that we have done in the past and we continue to do them whether they are harmful or helpful, they become our habits. How can we have the courage to recognize those patterns and change them if necessary?
