What Essential Oils Are Good For Colds?

So many essential oils to choose from!  Where do you start? How to use essential oils for a cold or sore throat?

The essential oil I use the most – like almost every day – to support the body against colds and sore throats is this one:  Immune Strength.   We either roll it on the bottoms of our feet, on our wrists or on our neck.  And it smells good!

Essential Oils are a great thing to have on hand.

Another fun thing you can do with Immune Strength is to add it to your hand soap or foaming hand soap.  Some people use it to clean there house.

A lot of people have heard of Thieves cleaner.  Immune Strength is a very similar recipe that you can use in place of Thieves.  Thieves vs Immune Strength?  You can’t go wrong with either option.  Thieves cost $45.72 and Immune strength costs $26.95.  Immune Strength has a 90 day return policy and ships for FREE!

A 15ml bottle will last you a long time if you use it in a roller.

After doing a TON of research and thought I just might be able to find a brand that was amazing OR possibly even better than the Young Living products or doTerra oils <gasp>.  Having used brands in the past, but REALLY wanted to find a brand I could trust that wasn’t an MLM or network marketing company.  I had a suspicion that if I did find such a brand, it would be less expensive than the MLM brands because there is a lot less overhead when you don’t use the MLM model to sell your products.   And I was right.

Doing much research, asking LOTS of questions, and sending emails… I found a essential oil company that has met EVERY expectation of mine.

Organic Cleaning – Easiest & Cheapest Way To Clean Organically

Organic Cleaning Is Easy And Works Better Than Chemicals

Cleaning organically (meaning without chemicals sprays) can be faster and simpler than you first thought?  Keep reading if you want to know how to clean without chemicals.

What’s better than easy cleaning?!?!  Cleaning that is cheap and works!

All you need is an ecloth and water.  YUP, you read that right.  Ecloths have amazing technology.  They have millions of microscopic fibers that are tightly woven and literally pick up over 99% of the bacteria from your surfaces.  You don’t need any chemicals.  Simply wet the ecloth and start wiping everything you can find.

Tired of the way your hands feel after using Clorox?!  Use an ecloth and your surfaces will be even cleaner.  Ecloths work better than chemicals!  (not to mention, they are much safer too) 

How can this be, you ask?  If you are using chemicals, you are relying on the chemical being in contact with the bacteria and germs long enough to kill them.  When you wipe your surface with a paper towel, there is a good chance you didn’t pick everything up.  Do you notice how you have to wipe and rewipe the surface to get everything?  And how do you know if you used enough chemicals and if the chemicals stayed on the surface long enough to kill what you didn’t wipe up?

Next question, are you okay with having those cleaning chemicals touching your skin and disrupting the hormones and chemistry in your body?  I’m not okay with that.  What about all the droplets in the air you are breathing?

With an ecloth, you pick up practically everything, even all the microscopic creepy things AND you do it without touching or inhaling any chemicals.  Your surfaces are safe for you, your children and pets.

Check out this handy chart.

It explains why using only water works like magic.  You won’t be disappointed.

Fastest Way To Chart BBT (Body Basal Temperature) – Life Saver!

Accurate, Easiest And Fastest Way To Chart Your BBT

Trying to get pregnant or trying NOT to get pregnant… Or maybe trying to figure out your body and hormones?

Would you like to know if your female symptoms are from low progesterone levels or high estrogen or the imbalance of the two?

Charting your bbt – (short for basal body temp) gives you so much information about your body.  Your morning temperature (before you get out of bed) will give you SO MANY clues and information about your body that is almost impossible to know otherwise.

I have been charting my bbt (body basal temperature) for 10 yrs.  I have done it all different ways. Using printed out paper charts, using free bbt apps online, free bbt apps on my phone and usually using a thermometer from the drug store.

Charting temps is brilliant.  The information is life changing.

The actual DOING IT… sucks.  But so does birth control, getting pregnant or not getting pregnant, feeling crazy because your hormones are out of wack… you get my point.

Now, taking your temp first thing in the morning sounds pretty simple – if you have a easy way to do it, track it and read it.

Let’s be honest, who wants to wake up, take their temp (the same time, every single day, whether you are ready to get out of bed or not) AND THEN write it down or remember to write it down later… (yah, good luck with remembering that)

Enter… the Wink and the Kindara App

The Wink is the bbt thermometer and the Kindara App is a free app that syncs automatically with the Wink.

Another convenient perk is that when you stick the wink into your mouth, the alarm turns off.
Then, the Wink silently vibrates when it has found your temp and stores the temp.
If your blue-tooth is not on, it will store all your temps for days until you connect it with your phone.
It will instantly populate your chart and you will have a perfect chart with almost no effort on your end.
(the app allows you to add more info like cervical fluid, when you had sex, if you are spotting or had a period, etc)

Here’s the thing. For your temps and charting to be accurate, you need to take it at the same time every morning before you get out of bed. So if you wake up 2 days a week at 5am and 3 days at 6am and on the weekends you lay in bed till 8am… you need to take your temp at 5am all 7 days.  The wink does everything except get into your mouth for you.

Toddler scenario – say you have a toddler that crawls into your bed sometime after 430 every morning and your sleep isn’t great from 430 on… you can take your temp at 4am and know it will be accurate.

Infant scenario – you have a baby you feed in the middle of the night. Take your temp before you get up and feed them. (They say it’s ideal to have been asleep for at least 3 hrs for this to be accurate… though my opinion is that any charting is better than no charting).

Charting is so helpful, even if you aren’t sexually active.

If you have weird cycles, or have an ovarian cysts (or lower abdomen pain) or have endometriosis…  you can start charting to discover IF and when you are ovulating.  Every 28 day cycle, you have roughly 2 weeks of more estrogen and 2 weeks of more progesterone in your body.  Charting will help tell you if this is what YOUR body is doing or if you are estrogen dominant.

I recommend this book, “Taking Charge Of Your Fertility” to understand what your body is telling you.  This book will unlock the secrets.  You will have a much better idea why you have pain a different times of the month or why you skipped your period but aren’t pregnant.  Or why you have spotting mid-cycle.  Every woman deserves to know what their body is telling them.
