My 23 year old son has this drink every morning. He is very health conscious and a Personal Trainer but injured his shoulder at work a few months back and hasn't been able to do any training. He had his shoulder operated on and is now slowly getting back into his fitness. He is also eating clean again. This morning he messaged me from work saying that he will be having this drink every day for the rest of his life. He said, “I swear I feel better straight after I have it”. We have all heard the benefits of having Apple Cider Vinegar every day and I take Lemon Essential Oil in my water every day. I never thought to take them together though. All three ingredients have incredible benefits for our health and wellbeing. 👍 Lemon essential oil gently cleanses our body and kickstarts our metabolism. 💪 Ginger essential oil is great before a workout especially if you are feeling uncomfortable or bloated and it gives you a boost when your energy is lagg...

The appropriately named Balance is DoTERRA's Grounding Blend and it is my absolute favourite blend. I can't believe I haven't done a blog on Balance before now. I have not gone a day without using this blend since I first tried it. I apply a drop to the soles of my feet morning and night. If I have anxious feelings throughout the day, I put a drop on my palm, rub my hands together then cup them over my nose and mouth while I take deep breathes. I rub what is left on my hands over my heart and on the back of my neck.  Balance is excellent if you tend to overthink and is awesome for children who have difficulty settling down. It provides inner strength and teaches perseverance by helping us stay present with plans and ideas. It smells amazing and makes me feel calm and relaxed. I love Balance so much. Primary Benefits Promotes a whole-body sense of relaxation May help ease anxious feelings Evokes feelings of tranquility and balance Ingredients Spru...

I remember when I was growing up there was always a withering piece of cut onion sitting on the kitchen windowsill in my Aunty's home. She always said it helps to prevent us getting sick. I also remember when we were bitten by any type of insect my mother would immediately cut an onion in half and rub it on the bite. I carried on these traditions with my own family, but it wasn't until I was older that I looked into just how this dried up piece of onion was stopping us from getting sick and why rubbing onion on a bite always took the sting away. I was amazed to find just how powerful onions are and that they were actually worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. They believed that the onion's rings symbolised eternity. Onions were also a prized food of the wealthy in ancient China. I found so much interesting information about this common vegetable that we have come to think of as just something to add flavour to our meals. My favourite health guru Don Tol...

Did you know that traumatic memories can be released simply by using the sense of smell and essential oils? Aromatherapy is an awesome tool for emotional support and has a powerful influence on our emotions. For example, if you have experienced a lot of trauma and used Wild Orange Essential Oil it would help you to feel uplifted, calm, happier and more hopeful. Persistent trauma can cause a lack of endorphins. Endorphins enable us to experience pleasure and protect us from p hysical and emotional pain. They help us cope better with everyday situations. When our endorphin levels are low, our body craves the endorphin benefits and this can cause behavioural changes and even addictions. Addictions such as gambling, video games, drugs, thrill-seeking activities. Anything that generates endorphins, as we continue seeking our body's needs that are not being met. The molecules in essential oils cross the blood-brain barrier and assist in releasing th...
