Who's Wants A Natural Bug Spray?

6/15/2020

0 Comments

So many people have been asking what I use instead of bug spray with all those nasty chemicals. As summer heats up, so do the pesky pests when you are outside. I'm so grateful doTERRA has an amazing blend of oils called Terrashield to make my experience outside a pleasant one! 

Terrashield comes in a convenient 30 ml spray bottle that is safe to use on babies and adults and is small enough to slip in your purse or bag. I love the invigorating, vanilla scent even though the pests seem to think it smells bad. A few squirts on your wrists, ankles and neck and you are all set!

A Must Have for Your Medicine Cabinet!

Have you heard of anyone talking about elderberry recently? These amazing benefits make this a must have for your medicine cabinet!

Elderberries grow on elder bushes and are wonderfully tasty. But they are also wonderfully beneficial to your immunity! Traditionally they've been used to cleanse the stomach and bowels, fight against respiratory congestion, boost lymphatic drainage and boost immunity.  In America, the most common species is Sambucus. The flowers from the elder bush, which are often made into tea, can also support your body against viruses. 

How to Use Elderberry:
Adults: Elderberry D3fense is a combination of Echinacea, Royal Jelly, Olive Leaf, White Willow Bark and Vitamin D3 in a capsule, all which promote healthy immunity as well as restoring your body to health when you are under the weather. This can be taken daily to stay healthy all winter long! Learn more here. 

Kids: Elderberry syrup is a sweet liquid form of elderberry that is easy and convenient for kids to use. Integrative Therapeutics Elderberry Syrup is a great tasting, natural berry with a high potency extract. This can also be taken daily to maintain strong immunity! 

Both Elderberry D3fense and Integrative Therapeutics Elderberry Syrup are available at the Country Cupboard for purchase!

Transitions aren't fun for anyone! New places, faces and stages can cause anxiety and worry. And sadness over leaving what was. But they don't have to be hard. Being thankful for the good parts of the past and looking for the positive in the future is a great place to start! 

Try these tips to make back to school transitions easier on you and your little ones!

Immune Support- Schools are full of people harboring their own microorganisms. Strengthen your immune system so you don't have to worry about what you come in contact with! Your body will be strong enough to fight them off.  These are some of my favorites! 
  • Sunshine Heros Multiple Vitamin and Mineral- Daily support of eleven essential nutrients deficient in modern diets
  • Sunshine Heros Elderberry Immune- Pop one of these chewables full of immune boosting nutrients in at the first sign of being sick
  • PB Assist Jr-Great watermelon flavored probiotics just for kids! Immunity starts in the gut. Keep the good bacteria stronger than the bad bacteria
  • Silver shield- Powerful for any bacteria based threats! Easy to take and virtually tasteless.
  • OnGuard Essential Oil- Powerful blend of oils to boost the immune system. Use just the oil or find it in hand sanitizer, hand soap, cleaner concentrate, toothpaste and mouthwash. 
Stress Support- Ease worries and anxious feelings by calming the mind and the nervous system. 
  • Magnesium- Wonderful for sleeping, stress, and relaxing muscles. Add the powder to your drink or rub on magnesium cream before bed and before leaving for school. 
  • Liquid Calm- A blend of oils especially for calming emotions and anxious feelings

Basil has come to be one of my favorite oils! It's my go-to oil when I need mental focus and energy when I am dragging. I use two drops internally every morning to support my adrenals and my body with stress. 

As the kids are getting back to school, it’s important to help them stay focused while doing their school work. Diffuse dōTERRA Basil essential oil in your child’s study area to promote a sense of focus for tasks that require mental clarity creating a perfect stress-relieving experience.

Not only can Basil be used to promote focus and alertness, but it can also add a little extra flavor to your cooking. The spicy, yet herbal taste of Basil adds the perfect flavor for meats, pastas, and entrée dishes.
