Detox Bath

Not sure who to give credit to on this picture as the information has been whited out. 

Personally, it's been a rough couple of weeks...I am all into this bath tonight!

If you try this recipe, be sure to rinse off thoroughly when your bath is complete.  Epsom salt has a tendency to dry the skin.  Follow with a good moisturizing lotion.

Your Choices, Your Future - Happy Valentine's Day

I Love this photo!  It is so very accurate.  When we choose to eat for life, we choose to eat foods that are healthy and nourishing to our body.  I would much rather recieve a heart tin with fresh fruits and vegetables over chocolate gooey yuck that I know is not good for me.  Not only that, but if someone gives a gift like this one, it shows that they truly care for you, your health and your longevity too. 

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Health Food vs Junk

True, however you do train your taste buds by what you eat and the more healthy you eat and the better you feel the less you want the junk in the top photo.  Notice in the title I didn't even call it food.  It is not food that is recognized by our bodies in that there is no nutrition.

The Liver Cleanse = Optimal Health

Doing a liver cleanse is relatively painless!  That's the good news!  Unfortunately, doing right isn't necessarily easy but if you are looking for optimal health, it's a no brainer!
 

As you begin cleansing your liver, you may see gradual or even huge improvements from the very beginning.

You may notice:

• A reduction in food cravings
• Fewer emotional swings
• More energy
• Increased metabolism
• Increased immunity

Some adverse effects that you could also see but that are relatively uncommon:
• Headache
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Mucus and unusual secretions in your bowel movements (Don't worry!  This is normal for some people ).

Many liver cleanses can be harsh and honestly a change in eating habits will be very beneficial but it is not an absolute requirement in detoxifying your liver.
 
Always be sure to choose Therapeutic Grade essential oils. Personally, I use  Young Living.  You can purchase these through my retail store or by calling me at (308) 254-5373 with your credit card information.  You can also send me an email if that is easier for you.  Lemon oil is $15 (15 ml bottle) and Peppermint oil is $30 (15 ml bottle).  I do not charge you forTax or shipping.  Be sure to include your shipping address if you are making a request via e-mail.


Each morning consume the following tea.
Liver Cleansing Tea (can be consumed hot or cold)
When making hot tea, boil the water on the stove top.  DO NOT MICROWAVE (the microwave changes the physiology of the water, distorting and changing the molecular structure).

2 Drops Lemon essential oil

2 Drop Peppermint essential oil

1/2 Fresh squeezed lemon juice

 

1 12 oz mug of water

 

 

Wait 20 Minutes before eating anything.  This is all that is necessary for helping to cleanse and purify your liver. 

 

For added benefits and honestly better results, keep reading.

 

Apply 3 drops of lemon oil and 3 drops of peppermint oil to the soles of clean feet every morning and every night.

Drink fresh squeezed lemon in your water throughout the day.  Most people find that adding the essential oils in the morning is plenty and they do not add more during the rest of the day. 

 

Changing your diet is probably the most difficult part but it doesn't have to be.  If you have followed us here for a while you know my beliefs on incorporating green smoothies into your diet plan.  Here we go again.  There are many recipes listed here on this blog.  Simply key in "smoothie" into the search box and it will bring up a lot of information and recipes for you.

If you will discipline yourself to consuming at least one green smoothie each day (preferably after your Liver Cleansing Tea) you will see a definitive difference and faster detox of your liver and your other organs as well.  You will see increased energy levels and symptoms of dis-ease fade away. 

 

I hope you will take these steps toward better health and please, don't forget a little bit of exercise to help purge and strengthen your body too! 

 

I would love to hear your results and your feedback!  You can leave your comments, questions and suggestions below.  Thank you!  I hope to hear amazing results from you!

Perhaps A Liver Cleanse Would Be Helpful?

Supporting your liver may just be the missing key to your optimum health!

But how do you know if a liver cleanse would be helpful?  Well, if you are experiencing any of the symptoms posted in the previous post, "Your Liver-Is It Toxic?" then it will be advantageous for you to consider doing a liver cleanse.  Take that one step further, it will be advantageous for you to actually do a liver cleanse. 

Your liver is an amazing filter and the first line of defense for your immune system.  The liver has over 300 responsibilities the main of which is to filter and cleanse your blood.  When your liver is not functioning correctly a whole slew of symptoms of illness can occur.

The liver has two blood supplies, one comes from the lungs and heart and the other from
the stomach and intestines. The blood comes in and goes through the filtering process to remove all of the impurities out of the blood. It gets oxygen from the lungs, it gets nutrients from the small intestines and stomach.  Then the red blood cells are released through the other end of the liver.  When the liver works properly is is all clean and happy with plenty of oxygen, nutrients and the strength to fight off toxins.  If your liver is overloaded with to many toxins the blood get disbursed without being completely clean.  It still has the oxygen and nutrients attached but it still has chemicals, msg's, gmo's, preservatives, nitrates, carbon dioxide and any host of other toxins that have not been removed from the red blood cells.  As your blood pulses throughout your body to feed and nourish the cells and provide oxygen, each cell has to be able to accept these nutrients and release carbon dioxide along with any other toxins. So it pulls in and uses the oxygen, the foods and nutrients, and creates ATP, which is the energy to the cell.

The foreign items to your body are the toxins.  The cell recognises foreign items as toxins and literally builds a place within the cell to house the toxins. Over time, the house full of toxins becomes larger sending a message to the brain in the form of symptoms or dis-ease.

The liver secretes vital digestive juices that help properly digest food and cleanse the blood. Chemicals, pesticides, polluted air, preservatives in our food and water supplies are inhaled
and absorbed daily. Our exposure to toxins is increased by our use of steroids, medications,
smoking, over-indulgence of alcohol, poor food choices, and not drinking enough fresh clean water. There are over 2,000 untested, synthetic chemicals approved by the FDA for use in our foods. Many of these have been proven to cause cancer!

With all of these toxins, it's no wonder that your liver is working harder than ever to detoxify your body and regulate healthy metabolic activity. The liver is also in charge of helping regulate and balance hormones and the proper functioning of our neurological system.

Stay with us... I will have more tomorrow.

Your Liver-Is It Toxic?

What does it mean to have a toxic liver?  When you are having trouble with your liver or your liver is having a hard time removing all of the toxins that bombard it from everyday life, many symptoms can occur and you may not even give your liver a second thought.  So many times, we treat the symptom rather than the cause. 

 

Common symptoms due to poor liver function include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Abdominal bloating and swelling
• Allergies (especially sudden or those that come on later in life)
• Anxiety, frustration, inability to function harmoniously with those around you
• Anger issues
• Asthma
• Bad breath in the morning (tongue has a white coating)
• Brain Fog (poor concentration or memory)
• Cellulite
• Chemical and environmental sensitivities
• Chronic fatigue
• Colds and flues (the liver is responsible for immune function)
• Concentration and memory problems
• Constipation
• Depression
• Difficulty losing weight
• Digestive issues
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness after eating
• Elevated cholesterol
• Fatigue
• Feeling tired after eating
• Flatulence
• Fluctuations in body temperature (hotflashes or feelings of extreme cold)
• Gall stones
• Gallbladder pain, problems, disease
• Headaches
• Heartburn (acid reflux) or palpitations
• High blood pressure
• Hives, rashes
• Hormonal imbalances
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), also indicates a Candida yeast problem
• Immune system dysfunction or disorders
• Inability to handle fats without feeling nauseated, belching or possibly cough
• Indigestion
• Irritability
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Jaundice
• Kidney stones
• Mood swings-especially involving depression and anger
• Nausea (especially after eating fatty foods)
• Obesity ( More than 25 lbs over weight)
• PMS as well as excessive menstrual low containing many clots of blood
• Rapid pulse
• Weak tendons, ligaments, and muscles
• Weight gain especially around the abdominal wall
• And so many more........


Now, I am not saying that every symptom you have ever had is related to an unhappy liver but what I am saying is that you might be surprised that cleaning up your liver will help you feel better all the way around and have more energy too. I am also stating that most (if not all) symptoms of illness and dis-ease will subside. Not sure you are on the same page?

I challenge you to give it a try...

I will be posting several posts over the next few days about the importance of taking care of your liver and what you can do to help cleanse and detox to boost your liver function.

I would love to hear from you! Post your comments below to let me know how you are doing through this process.

Good Health Can Be So Complicated

We go along doing our normal routine when suddenly for no apparent reason, we fall off the cliff.  Maybe not a literal cliff but figuratively speaking our health seems to suddenly run downhill.

Many of us will play the shoulda, coulda, woulda game thinking we should have seen this coming.  I would have done something different.  I could have changed things.
Well obviously, that's not going to change anything about where we are today.

Maybe you have been doing what you thought was right all along just to find yourself in a similar situation.  You have been exercising, drinking lots of water and you think you eat pretty healthy too but you still find your health is compromised.

Perhaps you are doing the doctor routine now.  Perhaps even more than one.  Perhaps you have received a diagnosis and treatment suggestions.  Maybe you are even taking prescriptions but it seems that your health is still slipping away.  Perhaps you are scared and you'd like some alternative choices or at the very minimum someone to talk to who can reassure you that there are options.

What now?

There are so many possible answers to this question and many people are skeptical about what is called "Holistic Health".  Even if you have heard the term before, holistic health offers so many viable solutions to meeting and preventing health concerns on a natural basis and various applications that nurture the mind, body and spirit.

• Holistic Health Your body is a whole (mind, body and spirit). Health comes when all three are in balance. I help you achieve this through all of the following services. Everything is done with your good health in mind!

As a holistic health practitioner myself, I am here to council, coach and be your cheerleader.
Our services include:

• Iridology (Reading eyes)  Not only are your eyes the windows to your soul, they gives indications of health concerns both past and current.
• Kinesiology also known as muscle testing.  Your body is electrically charged!  You have internal energy which allows us to evaluate your bodies imbalances or energy blockages.
• Reflexology Techniques  Pressure points or “reflex" areas that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body.  Applying pressure to these areas promotes health in the corresponding organs through energetic pathways helping to release toxins, stress and even pain.
• Biofeedback  Take the guess work out of buying nutritional supplements!  Our biofeedback machine measures electrical fluctuations of your body with exceptional accuracy and delivers a report that you can take home.
• Herbal Therapies  Nutrition is key to healing.  Your body will heal itself when given the right tools.  Herbs are food.  We use & recommend Nature’s Sunshine products.
• Aromatherapy  The use of natural plant based oils to enhance psychological and physical well-being, rejuvenating mind, body and spirit.  Useful for natural healing. We use and recommend Young Living Essential Oils.
• Nutritional Guidance  Nutrition is one of the focal points for good health.  Many people think they are eating healthy but in reality when we look at it closely they are not getting the vitamin, minerals and nutrition that their bodies need.  I can help you address this and I will even provide a few recipes to help you out!
• Spiritual Guidance  Last but certainly not least, we encourage you to build a strong relationship with the Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour.  He has already given us healing.  He has already provided for our eternal salvation.  He has already given us so many things, we just have to be sure that we are ready (spiritually) to accept His gifts.

All in all, there are options and when we take care of our body, it will take care of us.  I know, I know,  it sounds like a cliche but the fact is...it's the truth and what you have been doing obviously hasn't worked or you wouldn't be where you are right now.  Is it easy?  Can you just pop a pill? No, probably not but if you want to feel better and have more energy than you have had in years, I am very happy to help you!

Valentine-101 Ways to Say I Love You!

With Valentine's day fast approaching, love is in the air!    I thought this was appropriate!

Know Your Value

A well-known speaker started off his seminar holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it...?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We may feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE.

You are special-Don't EVER forget it."
