Sore Throat?

Last night I had the worst sore throat!  Normally I would have sucked on some sore throat lozenges and prayed that it would work and my sore throat would go away.  So what did I do??  


I grabbed a medicine cup (the one on top of a cold medicine bottle) and filled it with water and 3 drops of Lemon essential oil.  Then I put 2 drops of Melalueca and 2 drops of OnGuard essential oil on the outside of my throat....sore throat gone!


I love the power of these amazing oils.  If you would like a free sample of any of the above oils, send me your address and I will shoot you some over.  You may just conquer your own sore throat :)

xEO Mega vs Other Fish Oils

I think we have all heard that fish oil is just plain good for us. But do we know why? Fish oil contains an array of health benefits pertaining to areas of the body such as:


Heart
By helping reduce the risk of arrhythmias and sudden death by a heart attack.
Brain
Better brain function though more efficient neurotransmitters leading to improved concentration, memory, less likelihood of depression and reduced risk of ADHD in children.
Cholesterol & Triglycerides
By lowering triglycerides and help balancing your cholesterol.
Joints and Arthritis
Better joint function from reduced inflammation and a reduction in pain.
Skin and Beauty
Improves the health and appearance of your skin, helps keep nails strong, as well as your hair healthy and shiny.
Immune system and cancer
A stronger immune system, proven to be beneficial for the body's immune function, lowered risk of breast and prostate cancer.
Vision
Improved focus, colour, perception and clarity of vision.
Digestive system
By improving intestinal health and reducing inflammation assisting those with IBS or Crohn's Disease.
Allergies
Omega-3 fatty acid intake by mothers during pregnancy may protect babies against the development of allergies. It may help people with existing allergies.
Diabetes
Fish oil enhances insulin secretion from beta cells in the pancreas, regulating blood sugar levels. DHA plays a protective role in diabetic neuropathy in all forms of diabetes
I personally use doTERRA's xEO Mega (pronounced Z Omega) and noticed a difference within days. Here is a description of what is in doTERRA's supplement.

dōTERRA® xEO Mega® Essential Oil Omega Complex is a unique formula of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils and proprietary blend of marine and land-sourced omega fatty acids. Omega fatty acids help support healthy joint, cardiovascular, and brain health, support healthy immune function, and have been shown to help mediate healthy inflammatory responses in cells. A single daily dose of xEO Mega provides 100 milligrams of marine lipids with 340 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA and a blend of plant-sourced essential fatty acids. xEO Mega also includes 800 IU of natural vitamin D, 60 IU of natural vitamin E, and 1 mg of pure astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant carotenoid harvested from microalgae. The bioavailability of the xEO Mega formula is enhanced through a nanosomal lipid assimilation system and is encapsulated in SLS-free vegetable liquicapsules.
