What are Essential Oils?

Every day we inhale, touch and taste harmful chemicals and toxins. Synthetic ingredients are in virtually every item in the home, from cleaning solutions and personal care products to food additives. But their is a healthier way to live...

Essential oils are concentrated liquids extracted from aromatic plants. These natural oils protect plants from insects, environmental conditions, and disease. If you've ever squeezed a lemon or orange peel and seen the liquid that comes out-that's the essential oil. And when grown, harvested and distilled properly, essential oils can have a wide array of uses and tremendous health benefits.

The Dangers of white processed SUGAR

To Soy or not to Soy

Soy is a controversial plant in the field of Natural Health. While many "natural food" companies have Soy in their products, in truth it is not the best thing for you to eat. Think of the Soy Bean Plant as a Liver. What does the Liver in our body do? It detoxifies the body by sucking up all the impurities. This is exactly what the Soy Bean does for soil. Soy is an excellent resource for farmers who want to clean up their soil however that doesn't mean it should later be harvested and eaten! Some people do eat Liver but I don't recommend that as a nutritious meal. Again others may not again but their are much healthier meats to consume. Soy retains all of the toxins it pulled from the soil. If we eat soy we are essentially eating all of those toxins in the ground and if that soy wasn't organically grown you are swallowing a mouth full of pesticides and other nasty chemicals. Their is an argument for organically grown soy, talk to your organic farmer from your local farmer's market about it. As for me I choose to avoid it all together. It is also a difficult plant to digest.

Soy also can be quite harmful for woman who are recovering from Breast, Cervical or Ovarian Cancers as it is an estrogen producing plant. It may interfere with your hormonal health and create unwanted side effects. Avoid all estrogen baring plants.
I personally am moody enough and don't want fluctuating hormones.

If you drink Soy as an alternative to milk try Rice Milk, Almond Milk, Hemp Milk (yes, I said Hemp milk. It is good for other things too, hippie) or Coconut milk.

Trying to shed those extra Holiday pounds?

If you are trying to lose some weight after the holiday binge or as a New Year's Resolution try a few drops of grapefruit essential oil in your water. It suppresses the appetite and assists the body in shedding those extra pounds. You can also try a teaspoon full of coconut oil every morning. Coconut Oil breaks down the fat cells in the body. If you suffer from strong sugar cravings and often surrender to temptation you may need a yeast fungal detox or a parasite cleanse. Both live on sugars and when the bodies supply is low they cause you to CRAVE sweets so they can flurish. YUCKY I KNOW. To find out if either of these infestations are preventing you from losing weight schedule a Natural Health Consultation with me. For you Ladies, Grapefruit is also excellent for breast health when applied topically for the prevention of bad cells. To order a bottle of grapefruit essential oil visit my website at www.youngliving.com/tanishabowen

Are you drinking the RIGHT water?

With the explosive development of bottled water we consumers are bombarded by choices of water to consume. But which one is the right water for me? The answer is simple. The body needs PURE, CLEAN water to thrive and survive. Unlike other drinks, water is a natural internal cleanser that removes toxins and free radicals from the body. So you want to drink the cleanest water available such as distilled water or water treated through reverse osmosis. In home Treatment systems are affordable and available at most home improvement stores. If you choose to drink distilled or Reverse Osmosis water you may want to add a few drops of Trace Minerals to every glass. However, the environmentally conscious should be warned that R.O. systems do waste several gallons of water during conversion.

Most bottled water is either spring water or purified water, which is fine to drink but be careful to avoid synthetic minerals added for taste. Any synthetic or chemically created minerals (or vitamins for that matter) are toxic for the body. But drinking water out of a plastic bottle presents a different danger because of the toxic chemicals that may be present and easily released into your drinking water. Never drink bottled water that has been left in a car for several hours. Extreme temperature changes can rapidly intensify these effects. Hence the creation of BPA free plastics. The safest way to transport your water is in stainless steal bottles. You also want to avoid aluminum containers.

Tap water is a silent killer containing all kinds of hazards including Chlorine, flouride, and parasites. You wouldn't drink bleach so why would you drink tap water? I know this is an extreme statement but the effects are the same accept that the reaction to bleach is immediate. Chlorine is made from bleach. Since we are discussing water, you may want to invest in a shower head dechlorinator and a dechlorinating bath ball. During bathing, Chlorine gets absorbed through the skin and a 20 minute shower can equal the effects of drinking an 8 ounce glass of tap water.

Some practitioners recommend KANGEN water or water that balances PH levels. This water may be great for a season however
you must KNOW your PH level first. Find out if you are acidic or alkaline. You want to be Neutral. Kangen water can help make an acidic environment neutral but you don't want to over do it and create a whole new concern by alkalizing the system. Kangen water can be a great temporary aid in balancing the body.

Well water offers the natural minerals that the body needs and can be a wonderful source of good clean water however the location of the well is important. If you live next to the County Landfill you wouldn't want to drink your well water. If you are concerned, have your well water tested.

Hopefully you now feel empowered on how to make the correct choice regarding your drinking water. Keep in mind the recommended amount of water to drink daily is half your body weight in ounces. So if you weigh 150lbs, you should be drinking 75 ounces of water. Happy drinking. -Tanisha
