It's everywhere! I see people sharing on social media that they caught a "bug" and they just don't feel good. If this is you, I pray you feel better soon! If you are feeling under the weather, here are some steps you can take to ease the discomfort.
1. Take a bath. Add a cup of epsom salts or dead sea salts (or both, that's what we do) and soak for at least 20-30 minutes. This can help pull out the toxins and ease some aches. You can also add some essential oils to your bath such as the Young Living blend, Pan Away, but also peppermint, lavender, Stress Away, Peace & Calming, Copaiba, and Eucalyptus Radiata. How much depends on you and what you're used to. Start low and go slow if you haven't used them before.
2. Stay hydrated. Drink at least half of your weight in ounces of water. I like to add electrolytes on occasion to help keep my body balanced. The YL Vitality Drops taste so good! It makes drinking plenty of water so easy.
3. Get plenty of rest! It's a must to help your body recover.
4. Stay away from sugary foods and drinks. Viruses love a good sugar party.
Scratchy throats seem to go along with what is going around.
I love this throat spray:
In a 1 oz bottle I mix 1/2 oz vodka, 1/2 oz distilled water, and the following Young Living oils:10 drops Thieves essential oil blend, 5 drops Lemon, 3 drops Peppermint. Once mixed, shake it up and spray in your mouth, aiming at the back of your throat. I kid you not, it works! I've also used it before dental visits to ease my mouth before they go poking around. I keep this spray in our fridge and it's lasted us over year. Just a squirt or 2 does wonders! Gargling the Young Living Thieves mouth wash can also help.
I have one more recipe to share with you. To help keep us above the wellness line, we use a roller blend that is easy to mix up at home. It's called a wellness bomb! In a 10 ml roller bottle add the following oils:
- 8 drops Thieves essential oil
- 8 drops Lemon essential oil
- 6 drops Oregano essential oil
- 4 drops Frankincense essential oil
- 4 drops Melaleuca Alternifolia (tea tree) essential oil
- Top it off with Young Living's V-6 oil and place the roller on the bottle.
We apply this roller blend to our feet. We have nerve endings in our feet (vitaflex points) that lead to the rest of our body, plus the skin on our feet is tougher and a great place to apply oils. For littles, if they aren't used to oils, you can apply more V-6 to the application site to slow absorption. Apply as needed.
