How to Treat your Seasonal Threats Naturally

I have been suffering with seasonal threats lately with spring here and the warmer weather and I have been miserable. I'm not sleeping because I'm so stuffed up and blowing my nose all night. Then during the day I'm sneezing like crazy and I have a hard time getting through the day doing anything productive.

Yesterday during Easter I finally had enough! I don't take medication for these spring times because I try to use only natural remedies so I was just suffering through it. I decided I had enough so I thought it was time to figure out a natural way to help.

So this is what I found that works the best and the an added benefit is that you can buy the Introductory Kit with CD or Beginner's Trio from doTerra with these three oils. (You have to scroll down the page to find them on the kit page).

Here's how I use it. I put one drop lemon, one drop lavender, and one drop peppermint on the palm of my hand. Then I rub my hands together and cup it over my nose and breathe deeply through my nose. Of course I have to blow my nose before hand so I can take deep breaths. I prefer this way because it helps clear up my nose and sinuses quickly. You can also drink this same mixture in a small glass of water to help support you immune system. I haven't tried this yet but if they continue to be really bad I will try it. However, my hubby has pretty severe seasonal threats in the spring time especially so I'm thinking that I might make him try drinking them to see if it helps improve his symptoms. He won't try the aromatic way of using oils.

doTerra does have a new product called Tri Ease that is a pre-made soft-gel with these oils in them so you don't have to make your own. I think this is great for some people but for me I'd rather have the oils to use for other things than just this environmental threat. We use lavender every night to help support good sleep. We add lemon to our water to help with digestion and detoxing our bodies of chemicals and it makes our water taste so yummy! Peppermint is great for headaches which come in waves synced with children's tantrums. There are many more ways to use these oils also so for me I'd rather have the oils in my home to use for many things than buy the pre-made soft-gels.

If you are interested in learning more about doTerra or how to use essential oils please email me or leave a comment below with your questions. I can also help you save money on purchasing doTerra products if you are interested in saving money.

*Important note: Do NOT ingest oils that are not Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CTPG) oils. They can contain ingredients that is not safe for you.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
