Deeeeep Relief!

Major plug for this product!  

Young Living's Deep Relief Roll On.

I posted this on my Facebook Page today. ....

I have to plug this product! I just have to! I have been having regular adjustments with a Chiropractor here in town and I've been super sore. After seeing my x-rays, I was shocked! There is just so much that we have to do to fix my back AND my neck. My neck has absolutely no curve to it! Anyway.... She told me to ice the places that were sore. I tried as hard as I could to ice my back yesterday, but I just couldn't. The ice packs just weren't fitting on my shoulders and the areas I needed them to be. SO, I gave this a go. I rolled it on my shoulders and neck and then I had hubby run it down my spine. I did this a few times as I needed it. I also did it right before bedtime. The immediate feeling I had was just like Icy Hot. This morning, I didn't have any of the soreness I did yesterday. I do have some soreness, but not like yesterday's pain. Deep Relief smells amazing and feels great!

Oh man!  I know I still should ice my body.  I'm no doctor and I don't claim to know everything about medicine.  I just know the benefits it's given me and my family and relief I have felt from them.  

Here's a video I made about it.  Please excuse the background and my morning hair!  

Here are the ingredients:

I won't use scientific names.  I will if you want, but I never want them, I just want the normal names. 

Peppermint, Coconut oil, Lemon Peel Oil, Balsam Fir Idaho, Clove, Copaiba, Wintergreen, Coconut (one is fractionated and one is virgin), Helichrysum Italicum, Vetiver, Palo Santo

These oils are therapeutic grade oils.  I love, love, love them!!

Roll Ons

There are several roll ons available for use by Young Living.  One of my current favorites is Tranquil.  It's a blend of Lavender, Cedarwood, and Roman Chamomile.  All you do is roll it on your temples, wrist or the back of your neck.  It's that easy!  I made a little video below.  It's the first blogging video that I've made, so forgive the quality and please forgive me if I look distracted.  There was a little monkey behind me messing with me!

If you click on the photo above it will take you to my site where you can order this roll on.  Just go to Products, then click on Essential Oils.  If you scroll down and look through the blends you'll find it.  You can also look through the virtual catalog or look on the main site if you need pictures.  Just remember to use my sponsor my number!  # 1237023  Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Great Diffuser Deal!

A lot of you that are reading my blog are new to essential oils.  You know, I'm not a pro either but, I have been doing homework and learning what I can.  I love this diffuser!

(If you order it use #1237023 as your sponsor number.)  This little diffuser may be small, but it is a work horse!  It uses a very quiet, but powerful fan to blow cold air through a pad that you place the oil on. You can use any oil.  This diffuser comes with a bottle of Lavender (usually) so you can use it immediately!  It is battery operated so you can take it anywhere!  I personally use this diffuser in my daughter's room.  She happens to love lemon, so I diffuse that for her.  When she's sick we diffuse other things.  If you're looking for a starter diffuser, I can't recommend this one enough!

How do I use Essential Oils?!

There are several ways to use essential oils.  Here are just a few

• Diffuse them using a diffuser or even your humidifier.  It's not recommended to put them inside the humidifier as they could leave residue in it and mess up the plastic.  I would put a cotton ball with the oil on it in the path of the mist.
• You can inhale them.  Rub some of the oil in the palms of your hand and rub, rub to get them warm. Hold your hands to your nose and mouth and just inhale for a few minutes.
• You can do a steam treatment.  Boil or heat water, add the oil and lean over to allow the steam to be inhaled
• You can use them topically.  Some oils can be used neat, meaning you are using just the oil.  I prefer to use a carrier oil because it seems easier to rub into the skin and it lasts longer.
• Some oils can be ingested.  Peppermint oil and lemon can be put into your water to drink.  Some oils you can put into a capsule and ingest it.  Not all oils can be ingested this way.
• Bathe with them. In the shower you can put your oil on a dry wash cloth and then wet it in the shower.  Use the cloth to bathe with.  You can take a bath and using a gel based body wash add the oil.  The oils will be on top of the water, but that's ok.  They will soak into the skin better.

I'm sure that there are some other techniques that can be used that I have forgotten.  For now though, this should get you going!  Enjoy!  

Dosing for Children

There are definitely specific doses for children and even specific oils that can and cannot be used for children.

EO body oil or body rub dosing. 

For 1 ounce (30ml) of carrier oil.  You can buy the carrier oil from Young Living if you like.  I like it, but I love using coconut oil.  It's moisturizing and slips all over the skin.  Almond oil is supposed to be a better carrier oil too.  Honestly, I think using any quality food grade oil will work fine.  Probably not Canola oil, but olive, jojoba, avocado etc...

Newborns - 0-1 drop
2-6 mos - 1-2 drop
6-12 mos - 1-3 drop
1-4yrs - 1-5 drop
5-7 yrs - 3-6
8-12 - 5-9 drop
12 and over - 5-10

This is just a general guideline. If you are using Young Living oils, these are the doses.  Start with the lowest amount of drops and increase if you aren't getting the result you want.  I am not a medical doctor or health practitioner.  I cannot diagnose any ailment.  I can only guide you toward oils that have helped our family and have been shown to help.  I reference 3 books when I look for healing my family.  
Gentle Babies by Debra Raybern
Aromatherapy for the Healthy Child by Valerie Ann Worwood
Reference Guide for Essential Oils by Connie and Alan Higley


I would suggest that you reference these books for healing your family as well.  They will prove invaluable!  

Young Living

Wanted to do a little blurb about Young Living as well.  Essential oils can be very helpful in a variety of situations.  Right now it seems as if everyone is sick.  So, let's look at some oils that can be beneficial.  One of our oils is called Purification.  It can be diffused in your home and it will kill those nasty little germs that want to make you sick.  Thieves is also another blend that will help.  There's an interesting story about Thieves.  I'll make that another post some day.

Thieves can also be diffused.  It can be ingested and it can be used topically.  If you have any questions about oils and how to use them just leave a comment for me!  I'd be happy to answer them!

Norwex Specials

Right now there are a few specials going on.  The one I would take advantage of is the Kitchen Dish Pack. I love the tea towels and the dish cloth.  These microfiber cloths are amazing!  They can hold so much water.  I used it to clean my dishes today.  The nice thing about them is that they are reusable.  Of course regular dish cloths are too, but these have a major advantage.  These cloths are antibac, very very soft, incredibly absorbent and dry fast!

The picture above this line is of the Kitchen Dish Pack.  Right now it's on sale for $36.99.  There is a way to get it cheaper of course.  You can have a party or become a consultant.  You don't have to have a party either.  You can just let me come over and clean your kitchen!  What!?!  Yes, I'll clean your kitchen.  Let's do some dishes and clean your counter.  I'm convinced that you'll love the product.  If you want to invite a friend that would be great.  Parties with Norwex are fun!  Unlike other party businesses, there is no minimum to have a party and you still get rewards.  You'll also get free shipping.  If you have 5 people order you'll get a gift.  The can order the cheapest thing and you'll STILL get a gift!  How's that for a party!
