Essential Oil Spotlights:

Peppermint and Myrrh

Peppermint: Properties:
anaglesic(pain killer), antibacterial(kills bacteria and any other virus), anticarcinogenic(any chemical that reduces the occurrence of cancers, reduces the severity of cancers), anti-inflammatory( the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation. Anti-inflammatory drugs make up about half of analgesics, taking care of pain by reducing inflammation.), antiseptic(thoroughly clean and free of or destructive to disease-causing organisms), antispasmodic(Preventing or relieving spasms or cramps), antiviral(inhibiting or stopping the growth and reproduction of viruses), and most important, invigorating!!
Giving strength, energy and vitality!

Peppermint is one of my favorite oils! we use it for almost everything! it is also used as a "driver" behind any other oils you are layering. peppermint has been used for a number of things such as soothing digestive difficulties, freshening breath, and also used to relieve colic, gas, head aches, heart burn and indigestions. These are just a few suggestions but here are a few more:)
asthma, bronchitis, candida, diarrhea aid, fever(reduces), flu, halitosis(bad breath), hemorroids, hot flashes, indigestion, menstrual irregularity, headaches and migraines, motion sickness, nausea, aids repsirtory functions, shock, skin(itchy), throat infection, varicose veins, vomiting anger, arthritis, dpression, fatigue, food poisoning, hives, inflammation, IBS, liver, memory problems, rheumatism, soothe and cool skin(on hot days), tootheaches, tuberculosis, and as a freshener in water.

As you can see there are many uses for peppermint. make sure to take it internally the bottle specifically has CPTG on it to make sure it is safe. If you have questions as to how to apply and how often, visit the website everythingessential.me and type in your ailment and they will take it from there. any other questions about peppermint, feel free to ask!

Myrrh:Properties:
anti-infectious(reduces infection), anti-inflammatory(reduces inflammation), antiseptic(thoroughly clean and free of or destructive to disease-causing oraganisms), antitumor(used in the treatment of cancer), astringent(the ability to contract or draw together soft body tissues to check blood flow or restrict secretion of fluids), and tonic(relating to or producing normal tone or tonus in muscles or tissue; "a tonic reflex"; "tonic muscle contraction").
Myrrh was used historically as incense in religious rituals, in embalming, and as a cure for cancer, leprosy and syphylis. crazy!!:) myrrh mixed with coriander was also used for treating herpes.

Some other possible used for myrrh are for bronchitis, diarrhea, dysentry, hyperthyroidism, STRETCH MARKS:)(yahoo) thrush, ulcers, vaginal trush, viral hepatitis, helps increase appetite, asthma, athletes foot, catarrh(mucus), coughs, eczema, dyspepsia(imparied digestion), flatulance, fungal infection,gingivitis, gum infection, hemorroids, mouth ulcers(like the swine flu symptoms), decongest prostate gland, ringworm, sore throats, skin conditions(chapped, cracked, and inflammation) woumds, and wrinkles. just to name a few.
myrrh blends well with frankincense, lavender, sandalwood and all spice oils.
not many people know much and actually use myrrh but it is a powerful oil once you know how to use it and what for. it can be applied with no dilution when used topically. use with caution during pregnancy.

Education is Key!

2009-12-17T09:05:00.000-08:00

Over the past year we have found that many people have heard about essential oils and have even used some of them.
Some have been disappointed with the way the essential oils were explained to work, but they themselves did not have the same results.
Some have used the oils only for the aromatic properties.
And some have just put their oils on the back of their shelves and left them there, not really knowing what or how to use them.
For all of these reasons, and others, we have continued to teach our monthly classes on the many uses of these wonderful oils. We have found that by EDUCATING the people on how to properly use these oils, they grow and learn and actually begin to teach others about the oils. The circle of knowledge only gets bigger and bigger.
This is a dream come true for me and Katie. We can only see good coming from using essential oils, and teaching others how to become more self reliant with their home health and medicinal needs. Can you imagine paying yourself for all of the home medical care you provide to your family? That is what we feel we are helping others to understand. Their worth, their knowledge, their divine intuition to help the human body thrive, and their divine responsibility to help others thrive as well.
Essential oils do not answer all the questions for everyones needs. But with further study and understanding of what these oils are truly capable of I strongly believe we can eliminate sickness, and illnesses in our homes. We can strengthen our community by uniting together in helping to heal hearts and homes. How do we do this? We show that we truly care for others. We share with our neighbors how we are caring for our families health needs and share with them how they too can help and care for their families.
We have a responsibility to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. I do not like to see my neighbors children or family get sick when I know their are tools to help them. I like to share these tools with others. I like to let others know what I am doing to keep my family healthy.
It is hard sometimes when what I have to share is rejected.
This does not mean they are rejecting me, it only means they are not ready for what I am trying to share with them.
Sure the oils cost money, everything does.
I am glad that the money spent on our monthly oils stays with us. I feel like I am paying myself every month to take care of my family, and I am having FUN doing it. I LOVE caring for my children and my family.
I am sharing this messsage with you to help you understand why I am teaching these classes. I love seeing people get better, and they are choosing to do it themselves, and with friends. I love hearing success stories, and how others are winning against diseases and viruses, and healing.
We can be the difference we want to see happen in the world, but we have to START WITH OURSELVES.
I hope to see you and to meet many more of you this upcoming year as we continue on our journey of learning and growth.
Love Kellie Bingham

Healthy Cell Life Notes (July)
Why begin using Essential Oils in Everyday Uses?
You create your own cellular health.
Your health is largely a prospect of cellular efficiency.
Two things which affect whole body health the most:
Nutrition
What you eat. All metabolic processes are driven by nutrition.
Proper Cell Function
How your cells function under everyday stresses. Trauma, exercise, oxidation.
Oxidation: Unstable molecule that has lost an electron goes looking for something to attach to and draw from and break down. Example; Rust on Metal
Our bodies are attacked 100's of 1000's of times EVERY DAY by Oxidation!
Arterial Plaque is one of the beginning causes of arterial oxidation.
Proper Chemicals in Essential Oils RESTORE & REPAIR
Damaged Tissues in the ENTIRE BODY SYSTEM.
Apply citrus oils and lavender to the bottoms of the feet daily.
Boosts immune system, and protects DNA structure.
Take any citrus oil in water of a capsule daily.
Cleans out arterial plaque, and reverses oxidation.
Diffuse oils in the air daily.
Keeps pathogens away from the body, allowing less stress to the body, so the body is able to heal more quickly.
Be brave and tell those you love about these AMAZING OILS!
We don't want people to suffer from fear of diseases.
Using Essential Oils daily is another step towards FREEDOM!!!!

Law of Polarity Class Homework 6/18

2009-06-23T08:54:00.000-07:00

The biggest part of the homework for this class is to:

1)Work on cultivating your seed, "Diligently Nourtishing your Thought," Like we practiced. Get the image in your mind, and add all of the detail that you can to it. Charge the idea with positive emotion and don't discard it with doubt. Remember to: WRITE IT DOWN, as thought you already have it.

"I'm so grateful and thankful now that I have/am.........."

2)Apply the principles of thought you know thus far: RELATIVITY and POLARITY- use them to help you find gratitude, live them until they become an established pattern in your life- for good!

3)Practice the power of visualization with small things: lost car keys, purse, binki, shoes, etc….
Remember your subconscious does not know the difference between an actual even and an idea. The next time you lose something or can't find something, take time to STOP, relax, visualize it and add detail and go forward with what you are doing KNOWING that you have it.... and watch, by the law of attraction- you be drawn to the object you were looking for! This is a fun one! Have fun with it! This tends to be a bit more difficult for us adults who are a little more skeptical so to really have fun: Teach your KIDS to do it, they don't doubt that it works, so they just DO IT!

Here are a few articles to read that help get these ideas in motion!

Law of Polarity Class Notes 6/18

2009-06-23T08:31:00.001-07:00

Thanks to everyone who came to Junes class! I had a great time! I hope you enjoyed the exercise we did to help in grasping something concrete in how the thought process works. I can't post those notes on the blog- because it won't really make sense as it was an exercise, but I will post all of the things about the Law of Polarity! Here you go! See you next month!!

The Law/Principle of Relativity and the Law of Polarity are similar in that they are both tools to help you feel and find gratitude about a negative situation.

9 Law of Polarity: EVERYTHING HAS AN OPPOSITE

“Everything, and I mean everything of consequence has an opposite. Its law. You can’t fall six feet down from being four feet up. You can’t turn left without coming from the right. ‘Yes’ only exists because ‘No’ does too, otherwise it would be meaningless.” Leslie Householder

This is common and well known- so why is it so important to understand it?

Because, BY LAW, the experiences or circumstances that we call “bad,” “negative,” or “unfortunate,” are in every case, GOOD FOR US! BY LAW!!

If they aren’t the obvious positive and “feel-good” experiences, they are thn character building experiences, which are always good for us, even if we don't see it in the present moment. But we can learn to do that!

Just by knowing that opposition in all things is a natural part of life can help us with trials and disappointments.

9 Law of Polarity: EVERYTHING HAS AN OPPOSITE THAT IS OF EQUAL DEGREE

Ex) if it is 10 miles from my house to the store, then it is equally 10 miles from the store tomy hous! On a Thought level: If something is a little bit bad, then within it is something a little bit good. If something is catastrophic, then by law of opposites, there is within it, something phenomenal!

9 “Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent of greater benefit.” Napoleon Hill
This is truly POWERFUL becuase: The worse it seems, the better it is, in truth: BY LAW!It is up to our attitude and thought control on how we view it! So what happens when we reverse the equation: The better it seems, the worse it really is? is this true? Yes- but not worse in consequence. By looking at things as good, then good things follow. It is just crucial to remember:

WWHERE MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS REQUIRED! There is responsibility in attaining knowledge, in recieving blessings. It is up to us to be good stewards over ALL that we have been given (even knowledge!)

Elder Worthlin Quote: “Come what may and love it” (Ensign, Nov 2008, pg 26.)

“How can we love days that are filled with sorrow? We can’t- at least not in the moment. I don’t think my mother was suggesting that we suppress discouragement or deny the reality of pain. I don’t think she was suggesting that we smother unpleasant truths beneath a cloak of pretended happiness. But I do believe that the way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life. If we approach adversities wisely, our hardest times can be times of greatest growth, which in turn can lead toward times of greatest happiness.” Joseph B. Worthlin

Remember that thinking positive is a learned skill

9 “While easy to find, true principles are not easy to live until they become an established pattern in life. They will require you to dislodge false ideas.”
Richard G. Scott

9 “To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to ender the ranks of the strong ones who only recognize failure as on of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and to think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.” James Allen

These two principles of thought: The Law of Relativity and Polarity- with practice and application will significantly aid you in finding joy and the ability to see abundance in all you do!

9 A couple of ffirmations to help the law of Polarity become an established pattern in your life: “It’s all good.”
“As I look for good, more good comes my way.”
“All things work together for my good."
Be sure to check out the "homework" for this Law to find some great reading articles.

Reserve the onions. In a skillet or saute pan, heat the butter and saute the shallots and basil. De-glaze the pan by adding the chicken broth and vinegar, bringing to a rapid boil for one minute and scraping up the bits with a spoon. Add cream. Simmer the sauce to reduce to desired consistency. Salt to taste. Add the onions and stir. Just before serving add one drop basil essential oil.

Law of Relativity Class 5/21: Homework!!

2009-05-21T22:17:00.000-07:00

Here's the fun stuff! The Homework... maybe we should call it something else? Did anyone's brain just say, "Ugh" at the thought of homework? Mine did! (subconscious program? ha ha!) Lets call it.... APPLICATION!

1: Practice: Using the Law/ Principle of Relativity FOR you!

-Say to yourself: "This Just Is" (and when you are able, attach a positive meaning to it!)

-Compare your situation to something much worse and you will find yours isn't so bad!

-Know that all things are given for our benefit and learning so practice being grateful for the learning you will soon be experiencing and for the challenge to help you grow,

-Be grateful for the evidence being shown you of what is in your subconscious that you are finding you are no longer in harmony with so you know its time to "re-program!" :)

2: Take Control of your INPUT!

-Make a conscious decision to keep your mind well fed with positive input!

-Pay attention to how you FEEL in everything you do!

3: Read an article

-I have listed several articles that relate to the class and Law of Relativity, read one or read them all! (My favorite is: "Think about what you are thinking about")

BONUS HOMEWORK/APPLICATION:

*The Law Of Atraction*

-Create a vision/ goal board.

(get pictures, cut out magazines, whatever you want that helps you to connect with your goal or dream and put it somewhere where you can look at it and think about it everyday! This will not only get your mind thinking on a creative thought that will help connect you to what it is you want, but will also tell your Reticular Cortex in your brain just what to bring to your attention!!)

Notes, Quotes, and Articles

2009-05-21T08:54:00.000-07:00

HI Everyone! Thanks so much for coming to the our classes and for you participation! It was so exciting to see so many people, hear your stories, and feel so uplifted! I had a great time doing the class tonight and am so excited about the future classes. Here are a few articles that I found for you (and forgot to mention as homework) to read. Pick one, or pick all :) This is part of "Taking Control of your Input"- here's some good Brain Food! :)

Are you more like a Radio or an IPOD?
Think About What You Are Thinking About
28 Ideas for Positive Thinking
Positive Thinking and Affirmations
"Its Perfect" The Mindset for Progress!

CLASS NOTES (In a nutshell) :

“While easy to find, true principles are not easy to live until they become an established pattern in life. They will require you to dislodge false ideas.” Richard G. Scott

“There is a LAW irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundation of this world, upon which ALL BLESSINGS are predicated- and when we obtain ANY blessing from God, it is by OBEDIENCE to that LAW upon which it is predicated” Doctrine and Covenants 130: 20-21

What do we have to do before any Blessings can come??
THINK ABOUT THEM!!! No action ever occurs without first a thought. It takes a thought to move the body into action!

Tools in your Toolbox! Every Situation you face can be dealt with successfully by reaching into your toolbox and select the right tool for the job or “law to focus on” at the time!

“Law, not confusion, is the dominating principle in the universe… This being so, man has but to right himself to find that the universe is right. And during the process of putting himself right, he will find that as he alters his thoughts towards things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him.” (James Allen, As a Man Thinketh)
“When he begins to reflect upon his condition and search diligently for the law upon which is being established, a man then becomes the wise master, directing his energies with intelligence and fashioning his thoughts to fruitful issues. Such is the conscious master, and man can only thus become by discovering within himself the laws of thought.” James Allen

The Law of Relativity:
-Your situation is not fundamentally good or bad until you compare it to something else.
-Nothing is either good or bad until you attach meaning to it! You have that agency!
-Bad things that happen to us are only BAD because we compared it or related it to something better!

The Law of Relativity is a tool to help us find gratitude. It gives us a way to think more positively and cheerfully, and thus be prepared for greater blessings.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."~ Melody Beattie ~

What does attaching positive meaning to our situations do? It raises your vibration -it allows your mind to stay open to a higher frequency of thinking where a better solution to your challenge right now exists. It also weakens your subconscious programming and if done effectively removes the old program. It also completely creates a new path for the brain to think through and operate on!

“If you do not make a conscious decision to keep your mind well fed with positive input, then it is very easy to end up with a continual diet of negative thought energy. Drama. Conflict. Disaster. Trauma.” Leslie Housholder

The more we take time to attach positive meaning to what our minds diet is and what conditions are coming as a result the better we get at gravitating towards the kinds of thoughts that we WANT to have! We change our frequency and therefore change our results!

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES BY TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR INPUT!!!!

Be creative and have fun! You can also use this body oil as your lotion. Your legs will love you when you shave with it!

Dilution Ratios:
Babies - 1 drop to 15 drops carrier oil (if you notice a problem then just dilute it more)
Babies feet -1 drop to 10 drops carrier oil or you can try it Neat usually without a problem
Children - 1 drop to 10 drops carrier oil, or 1 drop to 5 drops carrier oil
Childrens feet - usually Neat, but dilute if needed

I always just put the safer oils straight on my kids feet, no matter what the age is and we have never had a problem with it on their feet bottoms.

These notes are not complete, but they give you a good idea of where to start.

May Oil Spotlight! Clove and Cinnamon!

2009-05-05T14:19:00.000-07:00

O.K. So you want to kill some viruses? Don't be afraid of the flu, when you have Clove and Cinnamon essential oils the flu will Tremble in it's shoes.
Clove and Cinnamon kill 90% of all bacteria strains, with Clove EO killing more than 60 different bacteria strains and several virusus (both of these oils are in the On Guard blend from doTerra).
Diffusing 12.5 mg (one forth a drop) of On Guard, Cinnamon, or Clove in a full liter is powerful enough to stop germ growth. You do not need to diffuse continuously, just 15 minutes 2-3 times a day will keep those lousy germs away. On Guard is a powerful anti-pathogenic blend with both Clove and Cinnamon added which can elliminate pathogens and germs. However, nothing can compensate for the Washing of Hands - That is the most effective in killing germs. Add a few drops each of Cinnamon and Clove to your foaming hand wash and you are set for killing germs on your little ones hands.
I like using the ON GUARD blend on my childrens feet because it has the right mixture of Clove an Cinnamon already for me to use in a hurry, plus it is an active, natural, and the most powerful preventative and curative approach when a nasty virus is on the loose. I use it all the time. Diffusing it in my home, on my childrens feet/NEAT, and as a gargle. It wipes out sore throats, bugs, and viruses. For little babies I would dilute it first. I have used both Cinnamon, and Clove individually before for, but I would recommend the blend. Cinnamon is extremely strong and needs to be diluted. I take Clove internally by capsule all the time for when I need pain relief.
Both Clove and Cinnamon are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-infectious, anti-viral, antiseptic, anti-parasitic, disinfectant, and immune stimulant! (I didn't list everything either). These 2 oils are really best used in a blend. Have fun killing bugs!

May Stickman: The Law of Relativity Class Info

2009-04-27T13:40:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I am so excited about the upcoming class: THE LAW OF RELATIVITY.

This law states that Nothing is either good or bad until YOU decide to attach a positive or negative meaning to it.

We will go through the stickman model for this specific concept so you can see a visual and then discuss its application in depth. I also want to hear YOUR stories in trying to apply this Law (the homework/challenge assignment) and see how it has worked for you. Understanding and using this law in your behalf is HUGE! To me it is the first step in governing our thoughts. I am also going to talk more about Sub-Conscious Programming and the frequencies we are emmanating constantly. This is going to be a really fun class! Be sure to bring a friend or your spouse! It is always so much more helpful to have someone you can "bounce ideas off of" (as my husband says) and have as a support group. It is a really empowering concept! Infact, there is an article in the April Ensign called, "Think about what you are thinking about" by Bruce K. Fordham that talks exactly about what we will discuss in depth in the class! I was really excited when I read that article and it corresponded with our next class!

And as a BONUS!!! I have an awesome next "homework" challenge to assign and, for anyone who is skeptical about how the Law of Attraction works. It is simple, and fun- and really exciting. (it also explains the "how" in how the Law of Attraction works.... its not magic- its a Natural LAW, and all of you are using it whether you are realizing it or not, good or bad) - I'll show you how!

See you next class!! - Katie Marble

Law of Relativity Challenge/"homework"

2009-04-17T12:07:00.000-07:00

The Law of Relativity states that: nothing is either good or bad until you compare it with something else. This means that whatever your situation or circumstance might be is neither good or bad until YOU decide to attatch a postitive or negative meaning to it. We have the agency to do that.

Challenge: When something comes up in your life that you aren't quite liking, practice controlling your thoughts and emotions. Say to yourself: "This Just IS, its up to me to decide whether it is good or bad. This situation JUST IS, until I decide."

Take a moment to ponder someone else that might be going through something worse than you, reflect for a moment on how it could really be worse- and notice how your situation all of a sudden becomes not quite as bad as you just thought it was.

Know that all things are given for our benefit and learning and though you may not see the GOOD in it right now, you can know that it exists and be grateful for the learning you will soon be expeiencing and be grateful for you challenge.

What did you just do? You just attatched a positive meaning to your current situation!! What does this do? It raises your vibration- it allows your mind to stay open to a higher frequency of thinking where a better solution to your challenge right now exists- and believe me, it is better than you could have imagined on the old frequency that you would have been thinking on if you decided to not take some control and throw a fit and attatch a negative meaning to what just happened.

This is a HUGE step to beginning to control your thoughts!! This is your challenge until next class! Keep track of your success and thoughts in a journal and we'll talk about it next class! Good luck and have fun with this. Its not always easy, but it is so rewarding to know you DO have control in your life.

While we may not have control over our circumstances in life, we do have control in the way we FEEL about them- and to me, I LIKE FEELING HAPPY! Give it a try. Good Luck!

Geranium Oil Spotlight

2009-04-04T16:03:00.000-07:00

Geranium (April 2009)
Have you ever tried Geranium Oil? Used for years as a gentle and calming single oil known for improving a variety of skin conditions (including dry eczema, burns, shingles, ringworm, lice, acne, cuts and wounds and even herpes or cold sores). It helps relieve pain, soothes anxiety and stress, diminishes swelling and inflammation, is sedative and useful for nervousness, and renowned for healing burns, wounds, and skin ulcers. It is used for sore breasts of lactating mothers. It is an excellent mosquito repellant. Some have used Geranium to stop excessive bleeding and nosebleeds, and during labor and delivery to prevent hemorrhage. An oil I wouldn't be without if you have a family with any skin conditions.
For external use, mix 12 drops of geranium oil to about 1 cup of distilled water. Since oil is not readily dissolved in water, mix well before using. Wash the skin with this blend as needed. Another way to use geranium oil is to mix 60 drops in one cup of olive oil and apply this fragrant mixture on the skin. This massage oil will also penetrate inside the body through the skin and can be useful for upset stomach, headache, and more serious problems. Suggestion: Keep your mixed Geranium body Oil in a dark amber bottle clearly labeled. This is good storage practice, and it will last a lot longer. Geranium oil is often used to fragrance soaps, creams, shampoos, etc. It blends well with lavender, rosemary, sage, frankincense, rose, sandalwood, bergamot, jasmine, juniper and citrus oils. Geranium oil is indispensible for a woman's beauty and hygiene.

The Stickman Concept: A Mind Model

If I were to ask you to figure the sum of 756, 237,967 plus 234, 765, 876 in your head, could you do it? ......think.. think.. think..... That's a tough one right? But what if I asked you to write it down, then could you? Of Course you could!! You were able to SEE it!

The stickman concept is just that. It is a visual representation of how our mind works.
It is a very helpful tool to allow you to SEE what you are DOING inside your head.
It covers the flow of our thoughts and what our thoughts actually do to us. So now I propose a question to you.

Do your thoughts serve you or hold you back? (or have you ever thought about that?)

After I learned this model I not only became more aware of my thoughts, but I learned how to effectively filter and control them. I have truly gained a grater awareness of how our minds work. I had heard all of my life positive phrases like: "Reach for the Stars", "Dream Big", "You are the one who writes your own story" "Visualize...." and many others that were very uplifting, but always leaving me with the same questions- "HOW? "WHAT?" "HU?"

This concept is so simple that a child can understand it, but so extensive in its application that it answers those questions to "How?" and "Why?"

There is nothing to sell, nothing to buy in this class- it is purely a chance to learn to discover that man truly ''is the master gardener of his soul, the director of his life." (James Allen)
In this class I will share with you my story in applying this concept and we will go through the concept specifically, getting into the "meat" of how it works!

We'll see you there! -katie marble-

Dr. Mom: Beginning Essential Oils

The Why's and How's of using essential oils. In this class we will be covering the beginning basics, which will answer a lot of your questions and concerns about using essential oils as a main part of your families health care.

You may wonder, "What about the cost, or the benefits?" You may wonder, "Where to get the oils and which ones to buy?" You may wonder, "What in the world IS an essential oil?"

Who are you most dependent on for your families health care needs?

(Your knowledge, or the doctors?)

In a time of great need Doctors will not be able to keep up with the high demand of needed help if we ourselves do not become more self reliant with our basic health needs.

Essential Oils are a FABULOUS place to begin your journey to better family health.

Safe for EVERYONE in the home (including pets), essential oils have been a major part of my health and my families health for over 15 years!

Plus, learn how to kill those nasty viruses "lickety split"
by using essential oils.

(RSV, MRSA, Common Cold, and Flu, to name just a few)

If you are prepared you shall not fear.

I hope to take the fear of the virus away and fill your mind with the knowledge of how to deal with the problem.

This class will progress in the future for more in depth uses of the oils. Early attendance to these classes will assure you a whole mountain full of understanding.
