Have you ever wondered how you could be more in control of your health? Have you ever worried about the side effects of your medications? Have you ever wanted a better way to get through the winter season?
If you are like me the answers are always YES!!! Well, I have news for you. YOU CAN!!! I will show you how.
First let me welcome you and introduce myself. My name is Raechelle Rowe, and I am one of the owners of Double R Farm. I have been a nurse since 2010. I am also a naturalist and believe that before we reach for chemical bound substances to enhance our health, we should try natural alternatives. (Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, and this information is my opinion and that of other like-minded individuals. information that I share is not medical advice and is not intended to treat diagnosis or prevent illness. Use your best judgement when to seek medical advice.)
I first started using essential oils to supplement my health in 2010 shortly after becoming a nurse. The most significant thing that I used was a product called Thieves (more on that later). I used Thieves as part of my cleaning routine and the hand sanitizer when I was out in public. The strangest thing happened...I didn't get sick. I didn't get colds, the flu, the stomach bug, nothing. It was one simple change that I made that made a huge difference in my life and the life of my kids. I was hooked. I continued to use more and more essential oils in my daily life and saw huge improvements.
Today what I want to share with you are five essential oils that will help your respiratory health and get you through the rest of the winter with little down time related to the cold, flu, or even COVID. (I am a Young Living Brand Partner. That means if you buy from my link, I get compensated from your purchase at no additional cost to you)
If I could only buy one essential oil this would be it. It has soooo many uses. I mostly use this to clean with. I add this to baking soda for a scrub or mix it with vinegar and distilled water for a DIY cleaning spray. Thieves also "soaks up" lingering odors. As mentioned, I'm a nurse and one of the worst smells come from wounds. I've actually have had housekeeping staff ask for "my magic" to get rid of wound smells after residents leave the facility.
Recently this is my go-to defused oil. I put a few drops in one of my diffusers and let it go, especially when I feel a cold may be coming. Take a look at all the products that
Young Living has infused with Thieves. It's no wonder it has become one of my go-to products.
R.C. is magic in a bottle. This oil is best used added to a carrier oil 1-3 drops of R.C and rubbed on your chest to help promote deep breathing. Defusing it this oil for 30-minutes three times a day does magic in our home as well. R.C was the first oil I received as a gift and I'm so glad I tried it.
Raven Essential Oil is a great multi-function blend. The way I enjoy using this oil is to apply it to the bottom of my feet before bed. This is a blend, so it has multiple oils in it, each oil works together to create a unique experience. Raven can also be defused or even put in the shower to help get you jump start your day.
Please don't confuse
sacred frankincense with frankincense, similar but different. Sacred frankincense is derived from the resin of Boswellia sacra trees in Oman. Sacred Frankincense is believed to cough and colds partly due to the calming effect it has. We all know that rest and relaxation help when it comes to healing of any sort.
As I age, I love
peppermint essential oil more and more. It's great to use defused for10 minutes 3 times a day. I also use this when I'm experiencing hot flashes, 1-3 drops rubbed into the soles of my feet provides a cool refreshing feeling. One Canadian study showed that a spray containing peppermint, eucalyptus globulus, rosemary and other essential oils effectively reduced the severity of patient's symptoms, including coughing. Win-win!! I think the worse part of any cold is the coughing YUCK!!
Thieves, R.C., Raven,
sacred frankincense, and
peppermint essential oil are great oils to add to or kick start your journey with essential oils. I would love to help you. Essential oils have become one of the staples in my life. With cold and flu season in full swing across the United States right now it is important for me to take charge of my household's health and protect them from all the crazy viruses floating around. Here is your chance to make tiny changes to improve your health.
