Hoping To Help

Did you know in 2013-14, almost 150,000 people were admitted to hospital with poisoning in England. Most cases occurred from products found in the home ?

Did you know when you’ve got clean washing, with a noticeable fragrance, you’re breathing in pure chemical ?

Did you also know that typical air fresheners, such as aerosols and plug-in, have been shown to reduce the air quality in the home and can be carcinogenic ?

and did you know that these toxins have been linked to hormonal imbalance and infertility in women, me and children, as hormone disruptors ?

Did you know that there IS a better way ? We do not have to accept this!

I'd love to share with you how we've achieved a healthy household of five with just two sick-days in two years and the simple steps I took to rebalance my hormones and regulate my cycle.

I'm holding an online class next Monday and I'd love for you to join in.


In this class you're going to learn about the easiest ways to reduce the toxins in your home and start creating a thriving environment.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to this message or 'friend' me on Facebook and we can chat there.

"See" you on Monday !

Spotlight On: Purification

Purification is a blend oil. 

It includes Citronella, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Melaleuca (tea tree), Lavandin, and Myrtle oils.

As the name suggests, it is a purifying blend that helps to cleanse and disinfect the air and neutralises mildew, cigarette smoke, and disagreeable odours. It can help to disinfect and cleanse cuts, scrapes, insect bites and stings.
Purification
H O W  W E  U S E :
* 2 drops of Purification on a cotton ball placed in the ear can help with ear pain (remember NEVER drop the oils directly into your ear).

* Diffuse to clean the air. It helps neutralise those musty smells or bad food odours out of your room.
* Use 4-8 drops on cotton balls in the car (place them in the vents) to purify the air.
* Use as a natural bug repellent!
* Spray into your shoes for a natural shoe freshener! You’re welcome!
* Add 4-8 drops on a cotton ball and place in the bottom of a bin or nappy bucket to keep it smelling fresh.
* Add 1-2 drops to your laundry to freshen up stinky clothes without synthetic perfumes!
* Place a few drops onto the inside of the toilet paper roll to help purify the bathroom.

Why I Use Essential Oils

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS ?

Essential oils are volatile (easily evaporated) liquids and aromatic compounds found within shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes and seeds that are usually extracted through steam distillation.
In their pure state essential oils are some of the most concentrated natural extracts known. Have you ever thought of a plant having its own immune system? Each plant contains unique oils protecting it from pathogenic microorganisms (think, fungi, bacteria, etc.) and plant injuries. Essential oil have been around for thousands of years. Mentioned in the Bible some 200 times and in ancient medical tests; today they are fast becoming much more than the aromatherapy of the 1970's. Science is continually the multifaceted aspects of true 100% therapeutic, medical, clinically potent and pure essential oils.
WHY USE ESSENTIAL OILS ?
To enhance your physical and mental wellness:

I truly believe in looking after our whole selves not just parts; in creating a Wellness Toolkit. For me, essential oils are an integral part of my kit.

While some essential oils may uplift the spirits, others may empower you to release negative thoughts and habits.

Essential oils can be your key to a more fulfilling and balanced emotional life. From cleansing and weight management to supporting every system of the body, essential oils and essential oil-infused supplements can provide the balance you need to get your health back on track.

If you want to see how I've used essential oils on my journey with PCOS see here.
To clean and purify your home:

I am slowly eliminating harsh chemicals from my home and in particular in cleaning products and replacing them with natural cleaners. I use essential oils every day in my cleaning routine. Not only do I get therapeutic benefits from using these oils while cleaning, but I am saving so much money too!

If you're interested in learning How To Create A Toxin-Free Home Without Breaking The Bank (Or Using Much Effort) then register for our FREE online event  on 9th November here.
Prevention:

We use essential oils for the prevention of illness.

Whenever my kids are exposed to bugs at school, or in the community, I turn to Thieves oil (and many others) to give them some immune support.

I also use essential oils in my daily beauty regime and to keep my body looking and feeling healthy!

Essential oils are a tool to be used in preventing illness and in turn promoting health. You can check out my 'Living With Oils' pinboard where I pin all of my favourite remedies and recipes.

Spotlight On: Thieves Household Cleaner

Are you looking to create a toxin-free home ? Do you worry about letting the kids help you clean because of the chemicals ? Then register for my free online training event today - REGISTER HERE


Have I told you lately how much I love Thieves? 
Did you know that there is a whole range of products containing Thieves?
other thieves

I use all of these products, as do my family. But I have a love affair with the Thieves household cleaner. I love that I only need one cleaner for everything, I don't need to wear those oh so flattering marigold gloves, I'm breathing in essential oils that will benefit my health, not chemicals that won't.
Why use Thieves Essential Oil Household Cleaner to do all your Household Cleaning?
Thieves Cleaner is:
  • A non- toxic cleaner made with natural surfactants and therapeutic oils;
  • An environmentally friendly product that has organic and biodegradable materials;
  • A multipurpose concentrate that should be diluted for various applications;
  • Highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health, since it contains the unique Young Living Thieves blend of essential oils;
As well as cleaning the house, the bathroom, carpets and all else in between, I also use it to clean windows, the car and so much more. It is very effective as a cleaner for the dishwasher and washing machine when mixed with white vinegar. A capful is also particularly effective when added to a heavily soiled load of washing.
The following is a basic guide to the Thieves household cleaner.
To purchase this, or any other Young Living product with 24% off R.R.P. please follow this link.

Thieves Household Cleaner™

What is in Thieves Household Cleaner?
There are several natural ingredients as well as five therapeutic grade essential oils in Thieves Cleaner. 
The natural ingredients include:
  • Deionized Water
  • Alkyl Polyglucoside
  • Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate derived from coconut
  • Disodium 2- Sulfolaurate
  • Soy Lecithin (a natural emulsifier)
Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate and Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate are natural plant based surfactants that do not raise any health concerns. There are no restrictions and/or warnings about these compounds - Awesome!
The essential oils are listed below along with a brief description of each oil:
  • Clove (Syzygium Aromaticum) may help boost immunity,and promote oral health. Clove is also the highest ranked natural antioxidant. This is a crucial ingredient to the Thieves blend because of it has immune enhancing properties.
  • Lemon (Citrus limon) Lemon consists of 68 percent d-limonene, a powerful antioxidant; and may be beneficial for the skin. It has cleansing and purifying properties.   Jean Valnet MD estimated that it takes 3,000 lemons to produce one kilo of oil.
  • Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum verum)  This oil may help to stimulate the immune system, which helps to maintain welness and energy; and may promote a healthy cardiovascular system.
  • Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata) may be used to support the respiratory system; and to soothe muscle discomfort after exercise - hence it's use in steam rooms and Spa's.
  • Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineol) is one of the plants most written about in ancient texts and used throughout history. It may help to stimulate hair growth and may aid in focusing the mind.
How do I use it?
Each bottle of the Thieves Cleaner contain diluting instructions as follows:
  • General Cleaning: 30:1 (water/solution)
  • Heavy Degreasing: 15:1 (water/solution)
  • Light Degreasing: 50:1 (water/solution)
  • Glass Cleaning: 50-100:1 (water/solution)
  • Dishwasher: Add 1 capful to the bottom of the dishwasher.
  • Floors: Add 1 capful to 6 to 6 ½ cups water (depending on what is needed).
  • Carpet: Add 1 capful to 6 to 6 ½ cups water (depending on what is needed).
  • Washing Machine/Laundry: Add 1-3 capfuls depending on the size of the load.
In the Thieves Essential Rewards Kit (that came in my February Essential Rewards order) you get two bottles which are each 426ml. One of these bottles lasts me six months and as I say I use it for everything, so not only is it a natural products that benefits you as you clean but you can save money too!
This video shows how to dilute the cleaner and talks a bit about the product:
