Whew! It's crazy town around here this time of year... well, let's be real... every time of year! But, baseball season, and the start of summer is insane!
This time of year also comes with it's own set of challenges for which I can pull out my Oil Toolbox!!
Poison Ivy
My husband needs only to walk by Poison Ivy to have an outbreak...and because he is sooooo skeptical, he must've been reallllly itchy to ask for my help!! Lavender to the rescue AGAIN! Seriously, it immediately stopped the itching! I also put Melrose and Purification on it and two days all of the spots were gone and no spreading! I only put all of these on once a day.
Bug Repellant:
I know that I already mentioned Lemongrass as a bug repellent. I have finally tried it here at home and it's even helping with the GIANT mosquitos that we have here in Virginia! I did actually mix up a spray. Normally, the rule is to only use glass containers. I only had a plastic bottle when I needed it. Since I only mixed up enough for that one evening, I didn't stress it too much, and I've since ordered a glass spray bottle. Nearly fill a 2 ounce spray bottle with Witch Hazel, a pinch of Epsom Salt and 10-15 drops of Lemongrass. I also had about 5 drops each of Lavender, Purification, and Peppermint! No bug issues the whole night! I love that I can douse my kids in it and not worry about killing them with chemicals just to keep the bugs at bay!
Thyroid/Adrenals
Nearly 12 years ago, I had my thyroid removed. I've had issues ever since. Even with "normal" bloodwork, I feel exhausted, in a fog, my metabolism has slowed, irritable, etc. At the suggestion of a fellow oil user, I tried some of YL's supplements. And, I can slowly feel myself coming around. This is a personal journey and you should do your own research, and I will document this more myself, but just wanted to mention that it's worth a try!!! I'm currently using the Thyromin Supplement, and the B vitamins, as well as Endoflex oil blend. I'm getting ready to add a few other things as well. Again, I will go more into detail in a future post. :)
Heartburn/Indigestion:
This time of year also brings cookouts and food that sometimes causes reflux type issues. As you know, I've been drinking lemon daily, and I noticed that I can eat a cheeseburger and not suffer. I did recently have a meal that brought on that old familiar feeling... a shot glass of water with a few drops of lemon and a minute later, I'm all better!
More on Allergies:
If you're like us, this is the worst time of year for the itchy eyes, congestion, allergy issues. I'm still doing my LLP , but on really rough days: I also add a drop of Valor to my throat and between by eyes. As crazy as it sounds, I can feel the congestion melting away!
