So, when life happens, and you’re burning the candle at both ends and not taking proper care of yourself, guess what? Yep… you get sick!

Take care of yourself!

I had a botched dental crown several years ago. It became infected for the 2nd time, so it was time to try to save the tooth and have a root canal. This is a major way to take a hit on your immune system. I was on antibiotics for 10 days, but in my haste, I failed to replenish my system with probiotics, and I began to have a stuffy nose and some nasal drip… I thought to myself, what is this??? I don’t get sick!

I began reaching for support with essential oils, probiotics and I increased my supplements AND performed energy work. The results have been interesting… I’ve passed through each phase of this cold virus, but without the severity of symptoms. That first phase of runny, stuffy nose only lasted a few hours, then I felt like there were sensations like I was going to have symptoms, but then there were no symptoms! I’ve sneezed, but then it was gone! No thickening mucus – No mucus. I sleep with a clear breathing way. Yes, there’s some post nasal drip, but nothing to be concerned about.

So What did You do???

I’ve used these essential oils for support this time. Normally I would reach for Peppermint, and be done with it, but this time I reached for the Respiratory Blend and felt comforted.

I also used the Protective Blend on my feet and in capsules – which I don’t normally do, though most people do. I have felt my heart swell with gratitude many times these past few days for having pure and potent essential oils to nourish my system and provide the support it needs to fight off this virus. While everyone else reports horrible coughing and headaches, my body is valiantly defending itself! I just don’t know how anyone can live without these oils! I’m not skipping a beat in my work week thanks to these oils!

I rubbed the Respiratory Blend on the surface of my nose and all over the sinus areas. It made my eyes water a little for about 5 minutes, but it was well worth it! It was so comforting! At first I applied less than a drop to my nose every 30 minutes or so… then every couple of hours… then just as needed.

It’s important to remember…

Each of us have nutritional deficiencies that may be different from the next person. Since the oils work by supplying the body with compounds it may be lacking, each of us respond differently to each oil. If one oil doesn’t bring you the results you’re looking for, try another. The oils are not medicine, nor should they take the place of going to a doctor, but when used proactively, the immune system is strengthened and there is less need to go to the doctor!
