DIY Flu Remedy

I love finding new uses for my essential oils and new ones to try and add to my collection.  In light of this flu season being so gosh darn horrible and the flu vaccine being less potent than in past years, I have searched for some home remedies to treat those that are suffering from the flu or something similar.  This link post was taken from Intoxicated On Life.  I am in love with my tea tree and lavender oil and already use it for several things around the house and is included in this remedy! Check it out!

Be your own family physician using essential oils!

I personally cannot say enough good things about essential oils these days.  I have been testing and using them for the last year and I must say I am finding more reasons to use them and less eager to spend tons of money on products at the store that are less potent and have added chemicals that I don't want my family being exposed to, especially with a new baby ready to arrive.  I am also a nursing student and budding herbalist/holistic health nut and my research along with my own creations with essential oils has made me a firm believer in their benefits and ease of use.

Oil Pulling

Here is something I am going to try this week! OIL PULLING! This may frighten some as it did me at first but after reading some articles on the benefits I definitely want to try this! Check out the site below for details.

Uses for Coconut Oil

I never knew about the uses of coconut oil until more recently as discovered on pinterest and fellow oil users.  I gave it a try and I must say, I absolutely love the stuff!  You can get it almost anywhere from CVS to Meijer to Target and health food stores.  If you find the unrefined oil it will smell like coconut and it's potency is slightly higher since it's not processed first.  This is the variety that's best for taking internally i.e. in food etc... I usually get the refined because I shop at Target a lot for their specialty products and I pay about $7 for a jar.  The jar is basically a mason jar without the logo and I reuse them (since I'm earth conscious) for my homemade gifts and such :)  It is also good for thyroid trouble so I'm cooking with it quite a bit now and I love it!
