Ebola is a virus. You can fight a virus better with a balanced body and a strong immune system. There are many herbs that are Antiviral, Antibacterial, and Immune Boosters.

• Probiotic & Enzymes - Happy Gut, Fermented Foods like apple cider vinegar (with the Mother), sauerkraut & other fermented vegetables, Coconut & water kefir, & kombucha.
• Vitamin D, Vitamin C, & Zinc - Do not overdue your vitamin D intake. Vitamin D is great but more is not better.
• Chia Seeds, coconut oil, pumpkin seeds, coconut water, Beets & leafy greens.
• Water Filter - I use the Berkey Water Filtration System.

Right now there is no proven cure for Ebola, but it is a virus and we can do our best to strengthen our bodies’ immune system and be healthier for it.

Learn & Live Well,

Money Wise.......

My Thieves Household Cleaner is one of my favorite products from Young Living.  With so many uses, it is my go-to cleaner for any messes, sicknesses or deep cleaning in my house.  There are far more than 20 uses for it and each capful makes a spray bottle of cleaner. 

I use it on toilets, floors, cabinets, counter-tops, kitchen appliances, garbage cans, door knobs and light switches, tubs and showers.  I use it to deodorize, sanitize, and re-fresh.

I use it to wash my laundry, dishes, and dog.  It is MULTI PURPOSE!! 

With all of these uses, and the number of bottles that I can make with just 64 oz. of cleaner, why would I spend more on other chemically-filled cleaners?  Money wise.....Thieves Household Cleaner is the best choice for my family! :)

6 Natural Remedies for Nausea

Almost everyone gets a queasy stomach once in a while, whether it’s motion sickness from a car or rollercoaster, morning sickness from pregnancy, a symptom of an illness, or a side effect of medications. Lucky for us, there are some simple natural remedies that can help. Here are a few tips:

• Avoid Triggers. Pay attention to what causes nausea, and mentally mark them as “triggers” to avoid.
• Try to avoid bothersome odors such as perfume, smoke, or certain cooking smells. Get plenty of fresh air. Using an essential oil or blend like AromaEase™ to block bothersome odors can also be refreshing and relaxing.
• Ginger is a popular natural remedy for quelling queasiness. Look for ginger ale made with real ginger or add a little ginger to a glass of water.
• Try sipping peppermint tea, especially after eating. Peppermint or ginger-flavored lozenges may also help.
• If you suffer from motion sickness, optimize your position to reduce motion or motion perception. For example, driving a vehicle instead of riding in it, sitting in the front seat of a car or bus, or sitting over the wing of an aircraft.

Essential oils are also a great way to help calm and soothe the body. Peppermint, for example, has been used traditionally to support normal digestion.* Spearmint also supports digestion* and brings feelings of calm. Young Living’s new essential oil blend AromaEase™ contains essential oils to help soothe occasional stress. Diffuse, breathe in directly from the bottle, or apply topically to help support healthy energy flow and vitality.

Use any of these suggestions to help you with your queasy quandary!
