Having developed chronic illness in my early adolescence, I experienced symptoms which I used to believe I would be stuck with for life. Thankfully, over many years of searching and experimenting, I have found that we actually have a tremendous capac...

Essential Oils

 
Caroline Dewey profile picture
I've been working with Young Living essential oils for almost ten years now and in all that time I have not once come across a brand of oils / herbal supplements that even comes close to the quality and effectiveness of Young Living.  I use my oils and supplements every single day and I highly recommend you to start exploring and incorporating these amazing tools into your healthy living journey.

This is a classic carrier for many home remedies and it brings great benefits for hair, skin, and digestion all on its own as well. Having it in the dropper bottle is handy and I am enjoying experimenting with a variety of uses for this magical hea...

I love these natural chemical-free cleaners for all areas of the house.  We use the Thieves basic versions for our hand soap, all-purpose spray cleaner, laundry detergent, mouth wash, and toothpaste!

The essential oil blend is also extremely useful with a beautiful spicy aroma.  I use it whenever I feel the hint of a cold coming on and it works like a dream for immune support.

This is the first thing that I reach for when my own little ‘dragon time’ rolls around every handful of weeks… I use one of their handy little roller-ball lids for this special dark blend of oils and it is the perfect soothing balm for my low back an...
Dragon Time™ Essential Oil Blend

This is my go-to remedy for upset stomach.  No more OTC tablets or tums for me…  I used to have chronic indigestion and upset stomachs were a regular occurrence for me. I ate tagamet like tic tacs before realizing I needed to find another more sustainable solution.  

I truly believe this blend of oils has helped in my process of healing and adjusting my digestive system so that now I only need it once in a while when I eat something that just doesn't agree with me.
Digize® Essential Oil Blend

This is another one of my favorite oils to have on hand.  It's a great way to soothe headaches or refresh your mind and mood with one sniff.  The smell is of course great for diffusing (for a brief period at a time) and peppermint has great soothing properties for our digestive system as well.

Another one of my most frequently used oils at home and in sessions, lavender is super soothing and stress-relieving.  With just one whiff, I get transported to a peaceful place and I can feel the tension melting away.

I also use lavender to make bug repellent sprays for us and our dogs to use.  This oil (even in tiny little amounts) can be toxic to fleas and ticks.  As always, we have to be careful when using essential oils, but this one has saved us many times from nasty little ticks we picked up in the woods.

Do you have any idea how much nutritional value we are NOT getting from our food these days? Our food has been modified and fooled with to no end, so even if you eat lots of veggies, you STILL may not be getting as much of the green goodness that you...  That's where multigreens come in! …And if you're NOT eating your veggies, this supplement would very likely be of benefit to you (but also, please do try to eat your veggies 😘).

I love this amazing herb in the tincture form, it tastes like tea when mixed with water and I enjoy my daily dose. Holy Basil has many potential health benefits for our whole body!

This stuff has seriously been like a miracle worker for me. I occasionally get these stress-induced fever blisters and this supplement was recommended to me because it protects and fortifies our skin. I take them whenever I feel a cold sore coming ...

If you are not yet experiencing the absolute magic of diffusing pure essential oils in the comfort of your own home and/or office, I encourage you to explore this further…

The art of diffusing is a great way to learn about and try on different oils to create various moods and energies in your space. 

This is a great alternative to using those nasty synthetic air fresheners and it's a more lung-friendly alternative to burning incense as well.

I've been drinking Kangen water for over 5 years now and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for the health and happiness of myself and my family.

Chances are, you are dehydrated right now. 

Most of us are walking around dehydrated most of the time and it is having a crippling effect on the various systems in our body. Just by changing our water we can change the chemistry and balance of our entire body.

Watch this demo to see how the Kangen machine restructures your regular tap water so that it is full of antioxidant power and rich in hydrogen with multiple uses around the home in addition to the highest quality of drinking water you can find.

If you enjoy the demo and want to learn more, let me know! Feel free to send me an email with any questions you may have. Here's my address: [email protected]

This is, by far, the highest quality vaporizer I ever used.  It's so easy to operate and easy to keep it clean as well.  I love the way it reduces the smell and also makes for a much smoother drag.

This is a good quality mat that will keep you safe from slipping and support your practice and it will last a long time. That's about all you need in a decent yoga mat but there are a lot more fancy ones out there than this.

A simple firm bolster is honestly a must-have for yoga practice. If you are new, it can be really helpful for modifying poses in any practice, but its a key element for anyone during yin and restorative healing practices as well.
