What does anxiety, arthritis, blood pressure, asthma, inflammation, digestive issues and nervous issues all have in common?

All of these issues can be helped through the use of essential oils.  My simple essential oil starter kit includes lemon, lavender and peppermint.  All of these essential oils aid the body in balance that can assist in addressing various issues.
Lemon is great for building the immune system.  Lemon has the properties of an antiseptic, antifungal, antioxidant, astringent, invigorating and refreshing.  Also commonly used as a disinfectant and that’s why you will find lemon in many cleaning products.  It’s not just for its wonderful smell!
If you need to relax or distress… reach for some Lavender. Not only can it help with issues of anxiety or as an antidepressant, it can help with burns, pre-menstrual conditions, lymphatic system and more.  Lavender has natural antifungal, antihistamine, anti-infectious, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, anticoagulant, regenerative and sedative type properties.
Just the aroma of lavender immediately induces a state of relaxation.  Lavender and peppermint both come from the mint family.  What can peppermint do?
Peppermint has the properties of an analgesic, antibacterial, antiviral, antispasmodic, and quiet invigorating.  Probably the most common use is for digestion or nausea.  What about for hot flashes, bronchitis, respiratory function, itchy skin, throat infections, varicose veins, headaches or migraines.  Peppermint we have thought of as a great flavoring for many foods, however, when used as an essential oil can have many healing properties that can be used to help the body.  That is why you find peppermint in many other products as it has healing properties from muscle aches to respiratory issues.
To learn more about essential oils and how you can incorporate, and use these oils in your everyday life.  Set up a wellness consult, and receive a starter kit with instructions on how, when and why to use them for your needs.
Be Well!

CoQ10 is not just for the faint of heart...

There is so much more to CoQ10 that a whole chapter of a book could be dedicated to this powerful co-enzyme.   For my post and informational purposes, I will try to hit the highlights without going too much into the science and just stick with what you really may be interested in knowing. CoQ10 is a co-enzyme naturally produced by the body.   The ‘Q10’ refers to the chemical compound that makes up the co-enzyme.    It is used to produce energy in the body to grow and be healthy.   The antioxidant property protects cells from harmful free radicals and helps to build the immune system.     However, as a person gets older, the levels produced by the body begin to decline, this decline can also occur in those with Vitamin B6 deficiency. CoQ10 role and benefits as an anti-cancer agent were discovered over 50 years ago.   Numerous studies have been conducted around its use against cancer.   It was determined that patients with cancers in the breast, colon, lungs, pancreas, kidney and p
