Hay Fever Season

Has anyone noticed that hay fever season is lasting through the entire summer or is it just me?

Wow!  I’m experiencing allergy symptoms and my immune system is working overtime to keep up!

Essential oils are really great allies for allergy sufferers since many of our essential oils contain antihistamine like properties.

Of course a healthy immune system is first and foremost.  Lowered immunity is the reason we humans contact many health related maladies.  Colds, flu and allergic reactions are often a symptom of lowered immunity.

Enter the world of essential oils. Some examples of essential oils which have antihistamine properties include clove, chamomile, lemon, eucalyptus, geranium and of course lovely lavender, the Swiss army knife of essential oils!

I have two blends that I use regularly as prevention and are definitely a ‘go-to’ when I’m feeling run down.

These blends are Immunity and Lymph Mover and work very synergistically together.

Both contain several of the aforementioned antihistamine oils.

Immunity has Eucalyptus, Lemon and Clove among others.  Lymph Mover contains Geranium and Lemon and other oils.

Lymph is best massaged into the lymph areas which include behind the ears and neck area as well as under arm area and from ankles massaged upward to the groin area.

Immunity is great after a shower and massaged onto bottoms of feet and up the backs of your legs. It’s also great for inhalation.

Stay healthy with Touch of Earth essential oil blends.

Follow Your Nose part 1

Ever wondered why we humans have such a strong connection to smells?

        Well here’s the reason….smell is our most primitive sense. All the senses ancient humans were more acute than ours today.  The sense of smell was a crucial survival skill. Humans learned much about the medicinal use of plants from watching animals and as we evolved we managed to stay alive due to this powerful sense of smell. Our strong sense of smell is an evolutionary connection to health. This is still true today….if it smells bad, stay away or throw it away. Unfortunately today we are not as connected to the natural environment and plant based living. We have become out of balance with Mother Nature. But here’s the good news, essential oils can help fill that gap.

Essential oils are often referred to as the life force or soul of the plant.  It’s been found essential oils are the immune system of the plant, producing more scent when under stress to keep insects and other predators away.  (Michael Scholes, Labofflowers)  Myself and many others consider essential oils distilled from plants to be some of the most important medicines of the 21^st century’ and are perfect allies to help bring us back into balance.

Bugz-Be-Gone ( It really works )

Hello everyone

Here is just one of the many testimonies about how Bugz-Be-Gone really works. 

Bugs and Insects:
One thing the Amazon has.....bugs and insects......the most prolific of which are the mosquitos!!!!! Before we left I found out about 2 incredible products. One is called "Permethrin". It is an insect repellent that we sprayed on our clothing, shoes, socks and hats and it lasts for 6 washes. One 24 oz bottle works for everything Brent and I were taking. It worked great. The mosquitos can bit through clothing, but did not touch ours.  The other great product was "Bugz Be Gone" from Touch of Earth. This was a wonderful product in that it is made from all essential oils......no Deet.  As a matter of fact when I wanted to touch one of the frogs the naturalist had caught.  

The first thing he asked is if I had used any kind of insect repellent with Deet.  If so, I would not be allowed to touch any of the frogs or reptiles that were caught. Lucky for me I had used Bugz Be Gone and there was no issue. Apparently the creatures in the Amazon are very delicate......hard to believe about some of them! One natural thing the Amazonians do....they will go up to a huge tree that has termites on it. Put their hand on the termites, let the termites run up their hand (this was very creepy....see below), once they have a lot of termites they will squash them, and press the squashed termites on their arms and face.  For whatever reason the mosquitos do not like this and will stay away!!!!!! Not a good picture, but I think you get the idea that it was rather creepy.....I will just stick with the Bugs Be Gone which worked great!

New 'Super Lice' Are Resistant To Traditional Treatments

Super lice is the term they are using.  You can read the rest of the article here Super Lice . Be sure to visit our site and check out the natural way to combat these super lice.
