Wonders of the World

Have you ever thought about why people around the world love visiting the many 

WONDERS OF THE WORLD?

 What is it about the GREAT wall of China that makes people work and save and plan a trip for years just to see it in person? 

So they can say, "WOW, this really IS great!"

Why do so many people around the world dream of visiting Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, the pyramids in Egypt, or the Statue of Liberty in the United States of America? 

Or the Colosseum in Rome, Machu Picchu in Peru, or Stone Hedge in England?!

We look at these magnificent sites eager to learn and DISCOVER. It's like a treasure hunt rich with history and eye candy! 

Just getting there can sometimes be the great accomplishment...

We take pictures... we make friends... we make memories... we talk about our trips for years to come...

It's so exciting, we can't wait to do it again!

Where are we going next???

There are many wonders of the world just waiting to be discovered!

We look to these many wonders around the world for answers, inspiration, knowledge, and culture.

Each fill the measure of their creation just by standing tall on firm foundation. Those that have kept standing for thousands of years are able to continue to inspire us because they have all the elements needed to with-stand the tests of time. All the necessary components being in-tact for each individual creation are what keep these wonders HERE on earth

 for us to enjoy!

Did you know that essential oils have been discovered and written about in ancient 

Chinese writings as well as in Egyptian hieroglyphics? Thousands of years ago people relied on the earth for healing just as we do today!

Essential oils have played a BIG part in keeping creating great people and 

places all throughout the world.

I like to think of myself as a 'wonder of the world in the making'... As I build myself on solid foundation and allow myself to receive all the necessary components that I personally need, I too can with-stand the tests of time. This means I ought to allow myself adequate sleep and rest, this means I allow myself time to prepare for what I need. I allow myself to have the best food for my body. And yes, an essential oil a day to keep myself healthy everyday! We ALL have individual needs to be our BEST selves! As we give ourselves what we need, WE too can stand tall right where we are and inspire and beautify the world around us!

 Just like these beautiful timeless wonders.

The Egyptians created amazing pyramids that still stand. They were really onto something!!

Mono (mononucleosis)

Mono = No fun!!  I once went to see a doctor because I didn't feel well for several days. I remember this doctor visit very well because the nurse gagged me with a pop-sickle stick & I almost threw up on her shoes. I also remember thinking "I cannot be sick! I refuse!" Let me explain...  I was a senior in high school, I had school, dance, cheer, friends, and many important things to do and places to be! Being sick was NOT an option. The doctor came into the room where I was waiting and looked over my chart and said "You have mono." .... I remember this weird feeling, It was like he was in the room but yet he was really really far away from me and I could hardly hear him. I thought,  "WHAT?? what did he say? mono??" That was the worst possible thing I could have heard from him. I thought for sure it was a bad flu and I would get some antibiotics then be on my way, better in a few days. But NO... he said MONO!! I remember I heard him say it, although it was surreal like a dream, but in my mind I was thinking "I didn't hear that! I don't have mono!! NO WAY! I'm out of here! Things to do... Goodbye!" I left the doctors office running and never looked back. At that time I was living with my Grandparents... I went home and told my Grandma I didn't feel real well, she made me some homemade chicken noodle soup, herbal tea, and gave me echinacea. My Grandma asked me what the doctor said and I told her he said NOTHING. I felt better and life actually went on.  I kept using the herbs and I kept up with my busy life. This little experience was where I first learned about the healing power in my will and in natural herbs. I truly believe my will, the herbs, and movement/exercise healed me at that time. This does not always work unfortunatly, but at that time in my life...for me... it worked! I was excited to learn that essential oils are actually 50-70 times more powerful than herbs. This was an awesome discovery for me because I already used and loved herbs! The combination of herbs and essential oils is effective. It's worth trying and testing.

MONO (Mononucleosis) - (info from the Modern Essentials book)
Mononucleosis is a viral disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus and usually spread through contact with infected saliva, tears, and mucous. Most adults have been exposed to this virus sometime in their lives, but many display no symptoms or only very mild flu-like symptoms. Mononucleosis symptoms are most often seen in adolescents and young adults. Symptoms of this disease include fatigue, weakness, severe sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, swollen tonsils, headache, loss of appetite, and a soft or swollen spleen. Once individuals are exposed to the Epstein-Barr virus, they carry the virus for the rest of their lives. The virus sporadically becomes active, but the symptoms do not appear again. Whenever the virus is active, however, it can be spread to others - even if the person carrying it shows no symptoms.

Sinuses

Sinuses are several hollow cavities within the skull that allow the skull to be more lightweight without compromising strength. These cavities are connected to the nasal cavity through small channels. When the mucous membrane lining these channels becomes swollen or inflamed due to colds or allergies, these channels can become blocked- making it difficult for the sinuses to drain correctly. This can lead to infection and inflammation of the mucous membrane within the sinuses (sinusitis). There are sinus cavities behind the cheek bone and forehead and near the eyes and nasal cavity.

Oils: helichrysum, eucalyptus, breathe, peppermint, on gaurd

*Topically - Dilute as recommended, and apply 1-2 drops along the sides of the nose or forehead (often clears out sinuses immediatlely)

Alcohol, Stress, & the Liver.

* * * 

The liver is in need of TLC (tender loving care) with all the stress and toxins we live with in this world. These two elements can have great negative effect on the liver causing serious damage and discomfort. Toxins come from many different places... medications, air pollution, foods, pesticides, radiation, soil & water pollution, lack of exercise, stress caused by negative emotions, stress from physical pain, stress from mental anguish, stress from the lack of spiritual awareness, lack of adequate sleep, and more... Unfortunately many people turn to alcohol to help relieve the stress of life. This actually adds tremendous stress on the liver and can even result in cirrhosis causing a whole lot more stress in life... and on goes the cycle of stress. We can stop this cycle and make small changes that have a big effect!


First of all, the liver is the largest internal organ of the body. It is located in the upper abdomen and helps with digestion, produces cholesterol used to make several hormones and cellular membranes, removes waste products and old cells from the blood, and metabolizes harmful substances and toxins into harmless chemicals. 
Now this is amazing... the liver actually has amazing regenerative ability. Left with as little as 25% of it's original mass, the liver can re-grow what was lost and return to normal size!! Wow! Do we understand what this means? The liver is forgiving so long as we do our part! 


From a phytonutrient standpoint, essential oils are the best thing for liver support. We can start regenerating healthy cells for a better life. A nutricianal cleanse is the best start followed by a cleanse with clove, geranium, helichrysum, and myrrh. After a cleanse, proper nutrician, daily exercise, stress management, and a proactive approach to our personal health care is the solution. Healthy liver, healthy life!

Oils for Liver Support: Geranium, helichrysum, digest zen, cypress, grapefruit, myrrh, serenity, roman chamomile, frankincense, rose, melaleuca, rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil, cinnamon, cypress, eucalyptus, peppermint, and basil.
