5 OILS FOR AN IMMUNE BOOST

This post is contributed by One Drop member – Kaye Ng.

Nothing is more disruptive to a kids life and schedule as when they fall sick. In fact, nothing is more disruptive to a MOTHER’S life when their kid falls sick. School, work, play, rest even meal times gets affected.

When my old kid was 6 months old, my household was dealing with a crazy bug. It went round and round and round my household for three months – me, my husband, the kiddos, the helper and then the process repeated all over again. That’s when I had enough; taking medicine for three months showed me that much of it was symptomatic relief.  We were not living above the wellness line and thus, we kept falling ill. Thats when I started using essential oils. My first oil was Thieves, I diffused it all around my house and that was when the traveling bug stopped and we all got well!

Some essential oils work to help stimulate the production of the white cells that specifically fight infection, while others enhance cell regeneration that is an essential part of healing. We can also for rest and sleep to help accelerate healing and wellness.

Here are 5 of my favorite go to oils to help boost immunity when the going gets tough.

1. OREGANO

Oil of oregano is made of the leaves as well as flowers of the wild oregano plant discovered expanding naturally within the distant mountainous parts of the Mediterranean where there is no pollution. It is just a member of the mint family. The flowers and leaves are gathered once the oil content of the plant is in its highest. It features a history which extends back to the ancient Greeks, whose name for it translates into “joy of the mountain”. They used it to dealing with an infection associated illnesses and also diseases.

  • Supports Immune System
  • Supports Respiratory System
  • Supports Digestive System
  • Supports Muscular System
2. MOUNTAIN SAVORY

Mountain savory is also called Winter savory and White thyme. This herb is a perennial shrub that belongs to the mint family. It is inherent to Mediterranean and is widely distributed in Turkey, Southern Europe and Russia. Mountain savory essential oil is extracted with the process of steam distillation of whole herb. The color of the oil ranges from pale yellow to colorless possessing the sharp, peppery and slightly sweet aroma.

This oil acts as a great tonic for the body. It assists in the functions of nervous, immune and circulatory systems. It strengthens immunity and boost energy in those having lack of energy as well as motivation.

  • Supports Immune System
  • Supports Nervous System
  • Increases Energy
  • High Antioxidant Properties
3. THIEVES

Thieves is an essential oil blend and one of the best-selling products available from Young Living. Its blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated and wore a special aromatic combination of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals that they believed provided protection while they were robbing the dead and the dying. French authorities recognized that there was such value in this mixture that upon the thieves’ capture, they received a more merciful punishment on condition that they divulge the ingredients in their secret formula.

  • Supports Immune System

ImmuPower – as its name suggest, it is a powerful blend of immune supporting essential oils. It is a blend made up of Hyssop, Mountain Savory, Cistus, Camphor, Frankincense, Oregano, Clove, Cumin and Dorado azul. The oils work together to protect our body, support our defense mechanism & restore balanced communication amongst our cells.

5.  CUMIN

The essential oil of cumin is extracted from its dried and crushed seeds through steam distillation. Cumin is a popular spice all over the world, but nearly all the medicinal properties of cumin come from its essential oils, which, in its pure form, is far more effective and beneficial than cumin seeds. Cumin essential oil is mainly composed of Cuminic Acid, Cymene, Dipentene, Limonene, Phellandrene, and Pinene. It has astonishing medicinal properties and health benefits.

TUMMY TUCK


TUMMY TUCK

This post is contributed by One Drop member – Ranna Seah.

My husband was alarmed when he saw how big and flabby my tummy was when I laid on my side. It is not that he find me fat or anything…he was alarmed because it seems as though my intestines are loose and not helped properly by my abdominal muscles. I was alarmed by his alarm because I had not realised how bad it was! Even though Heidi made fun of my tummy and called it “Play-doh tummy”…DUH!!!

So my tummy had been a huge area of concern for me ever since and I was determined to shake it. But before I get into what are the steps to toning it effectively (I assure you, with Young Living products, it really made things so much easier!!!) Let me share with you some danger and risks in belly fat.

Not All Fat Is Created Equal

The fat that lies just below your skin in most of your body — the kind that you can grab with your hands (which Heidi claimed is her playdoh…DUH!!!) — is called subcutaneous fats. In your belly, it’s called visceral fat because it builds up in the spaces between and around your viscera — internal organs like your stomach and intestines.

This visceral fat in your middle makes toxins that affect the way your body works. Among them are chemicals called cytokines that boost your chances of heart disease, and make your body less sensitive to insulin, which can bring on diabetes.

The Hidden Health Risk

Belly fat is sneaky as it hides tucked away inside your body. You may not be overweight but that does not mean you don’t have a problem. Just measure your waist size. The higher the number, the greater the danger your tummy poses to your health.

If you have to move to a bigger pants size but your BMI (Body Mass Index) is in the healthy zone, then it is important to look into ‘tucking’ your tummy.

So I am going to share what are the steps you can take (especially if you are on ER, just put them for your November order! And I guarantee you that you are going to look so sleek and chic just in time for that party dress for Christmas!)

The Products that I Am Using

1. Black Pepper Vitality – Boost metabolism

2. Grapefruit Vitality – Metabolic stimulant, fat-dissolving and the scent curb appetite

3. Lemongrass Vitality – Promotes circulation and digestion

4. Slique Essence – Slique Essence combines grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, spearmint, and ocotea with stevia extract to supports healthy weight management goals. These ingredients may work together to help control hunger*, especially when used in conjunction with Slique Tea.

For the vitality oils, take 1-2 drops in a glass of warm water. For Slique Essence, I take 2 drops a day (should be 3 times a day actually) under tongue as I can’t stand its taste in water.

5. Slique Tea – Slique Tea is an exotic drink from Young Living that has been formulated with natural ingredients to help support individual weight goals.* This unique blend is enhanced with 100% pure therapeutic grade Frankincense powder.

Drinking hot tea made me feel better. Drinking hot tea that supports my weightloss is AWESOME!

6. Slique Shake – A complete meal replacement that is nutritional to support healthy weight management with regular exercise and a sensible diet. I replaced my breakfast with Slique Shake.

Tip: Add in Ningxia Red to make your shake taste more AWESOME! YUMZ!

7. Lemon Myrtle – Uplifting scent promotes follow-through with your tummy tucking goals!

8. Non YL Tummy Wrap – I’ve used a few wraps before and I super dig this one brought in by MNB. This is the only wrap I find that simulates best for me what the Post-natal massage lady did after massage. Of course their technique is better with so many clothes and knots and manual adjustments. But per visit is what…S$60? or price increase already? So using this wrap is the more economic option.

And to my surprise, wearing the tummy wrap benefits the following:

  • Supports lower back
  • Creates good posture
  • Promotes good blood circulation to assist with healing
  • Helps the stomach’s natural ability to compress back into shape
  • Promotes less water retention
  • Assists with the tightening of loose skin
Tip: Apply Cellulite Magic Massage Oil over your tummy before you wrap to speed up the toning! Add 10 drops Ledum + a entire bottle of 15ml Citrus Fresh into your Cellulite Magic Massage Oil to enhance it.

9. Non YL related, Physically exercise – Planking!

Gone are the days where I do sit-ups for the tummy…I also realised sit-ups don’t work. Instead, the latest trend now is Planking! Planking has become increasingly popular for core strengthening, and for good reason: it works!

Tip: Do your plank with the tummy wrap so you set your intention and focus on toning the tummy made it all even more effective!

With the introduction of smart phones and digital devices, digital eye stain is becoming a major health issue for EVERYONE. 72% of children spend more than 2 hours a day on digital devices. While about 85% of adults spend more than 2 hours a day.

Most notably, the display screens of those digital devices emit significant amounts of blue light. But what is blue light??? Do you noticed any of the symptoms such as eye strain, dry eyes, headaches, and even blurred vision  after prolonged screen time? The culprit is none other than blue light.

Blue light generally is defined as visible light ranging from 380 to 500 nm. Blue light sometimes is further broken down into blue-violet light (roughly 380 to 450 nm) and blue-turquoise light (roughly 450 to 500 nm). So approximately one-third of all visible light is considered high-energy visible (HEV) or “blue” light. (Information source from https://www.allaboutvision.com/cvs/blue-light.htm)
So how do we protect our eyes??? I strongly encourage every adult to look into IlluminEyes which was launched during convention 2019.

Check out Dr Michael Buch’s video here explaining IlluminEyes.

The Young Living research team had developed this new eye supplement that delivers an optimised blend of compounds to support your macular pigment. This product actually protects eyes from damaging blue light found in sunlight and mobile devices. It also help protects and maintain healthy cells in the eyes.

IlluminEyes is a natural combination of Acerola Cherry, Marigold Flower, and Goji berry (Wolfberry) that supports eye and skin health.


Benefits of IlluminEyes

  • Protects eyes from damaging blue light
  • Improves visual performance
  • Helps protect and maintain proper eye health
  • Helps support vision in low light settings.
  • Helps reduce eye fatigue and eye strain.
  • Increases macular pigment optical density.
  • May help reduce eye health deterioration that is common with Aging.
  • Maintains healthy looking skin.
  • Helps support skin strength and durability.
Directions for use

Take 1 capsule with food.

Your sight is just too important to risk. IlluminEyes is available for purchase in Young Living Singapore as well and it just came back in stock. Feel free to contact me if you need help getting one bottle.
