Mood Management with Essential Oils

 Essential oils have been the catalyst for healing my family in many ways.

Many of you have asked for me to explain how Michael has been able to get off his anxiety prescription using essential oils. I have put together a webinar explaining how he did just that. I have also been able to get rid of my "brain fog", as I like to call it. Wherever you are on the mood spectrum, you can benefit from this free class!

All Purpose Cleaning Spray

(Image)

Whoa Mama! You should see my windows, we get some crazy wind out here that coats my windows with a nice layer of dirt.  Then, there is my dog that likes to gunk up the window in my door while she is waiting to come in and out. 

I feel like I'm constantly wiping the windows down (along with counters, floors, mirrors...ugh!)  Did you know that there are ingredients that are harmful to the environment as well as your health in a lot of the cleaners you purchase at the store? Yup there are. And you are using them all over your house! Don't worry, you can make your own toxic free cleaners and save a lot of money while doing so. 

In this little bottle is like the superhero of cleaning. I use it for almost everything!

 It really should be pictured like this:

The "G" stands for GREAT! 

The very best part about the recipe is that it is so amazingly simple. 

1 part vinegar

1 part water

10-15 drops of lemon essential oil

Just make sure you give it a good shake before you use it to mix the oil in. I use this mix to wipe down my counters, mirrors, windows, table, walls, and even in the car! 

 Lemon essential oil is: antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral, and its refreshing!

I recommend purchasing doTERRA essential oils because they are the purest, and most potent essential oils out there. Other companies will claim they are the best, but doTERRA is the only company that does the testing to prove it. You can purchase doTERRA essential oils here. 

If you are interested in learning more about essential oils, look for my upcoming essential oil webinars, or feel free to email me your phone number, I would love to chat with you about oils.  backyardfarmingblog@gmail.com

I work for doTERRA, educating others about essential oils and how to use them. I'm looking for others to be on my team who would like to teach classes in their area. I love working for them, and it is financially rewarding as well. Feel free to email me if you would like to learn more about it! backyardfarmingblog@gmail.com

Essential Oils Recap

Thank you to everyone that joined us Thursday night for the essential oils webinar! Sorry about the technical difficulties. I will be reteaching the class Tuesday November 29th, with a DIFFERENT webinar service!

Here is a quick overview on what we went over:

• Essential oils are really powerful, 50-70 times stronger than herbs
• 1 drop of peppermint essential oil is equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea
• There is little government regulation on essential oils, so it is VERY important that you do your research on the company you are using
• A bottle of E.O. can be labeled 100% pure, but be 100% synthetic
• Most E.O.'s have weeds, pesticides, synthetics, and fillers in them
• I have chosen to use Doterra because it is the only company that uses 3rd party testing on EVERY SINGLE BATCH of oils to check for purity and potency. They will not have any pesticides, fillers, synthetics, or weeds. They are organic!
• You only need to use about 3 drops of essential oils for each application
• You can reapply essential oils every 20 mins if needed, you won't overdose on them!

Essential Oils Webinar

I love essential oils! I mean L.O.V.E them.  Over the past few months I have been throwing everything in my medicine cabinet away and replacing with essential oils. I'm proud to say that we don't have ANY over the counter medication in my home, and I feel prepared and empowered. We have taken care of allergies, asthma, ear infections, yeast infections, skin tags, athletes foot, diaper rash, colds, and flu....just to name a few. 

A few years ago Michael was put on 3 prescription medications. I went on a quest to figure out how to get him off of those medications. I'm happy to say he is off of 2 of the 3 because of Essential Oils, and we are working towards getting him off of the third. Like I said, I finally feel EMPOWERED.

Not only has it helped the health of of myself and my family, I have also noticed a huge change for the better in my mood, my stress level, and my spirituality.

My best friend Megan, who actually helped me start this blog has been traveling the country teaching about essential oils. I have asked her to host a free webinar here on Backyard Farming.  Of course she agreed, she is my best friend!

This class will share insight on how pure essential oils can be used for physical ailments, injuries, skin care and stress management. They can be used on babies, pregnant mothers, children and everyone else.  The class is an education into natural healing and how to use them for any of the things you and your family struggle with. Come with questions and gets some answers on how to be a healer in your own home.

OPTIONAL: If you'd like have a sample kit of the 11 oils we will be focusing on during class, you can purchase that for just $10 by using the paypal link on the top left of the blog. I have a limited supply, so once they are gone, they are gone.  Please order at least a week before the date of the class Otherwise the class is open to everyone and free of charge!
