Winter Wellness: Oils

Are you stuck in the continuous cycle of sickness in your home?

Feeling like you just can't shake whatever has got you down?

Looking for natural support for cough, fever, sniffles? 

If you live in an area like I do where we can count the amount of times we see the sun on one hand in the month of January, I’m guessing your answering yes to at least one of these questions. And if that’s the case you must also be tired of running to the pharmacy, booking doctors appointments, and ingesting synthetic medications that most likely feel like they’re not doing much good. I feel you.

For those of you who have been in my wellness circle for awhile now you probably know my story. For those of you who haven’t I’ll give you the coles notes. I was feeling much like you are right now. Constantly outsourcing my powers to others and getting no where. Knowing there had to be a better way to care for my family. Desperate to make a change but unsure where to start.

After umpteen rounds of antiobiotics with a kid that was still sick I was officially fed up. I had heard about these things called essential oils but had brushed them off as too expensive, too complicated, not for me…..enter any other excuse here. Turns out I was just playing mind games with myself to be sure that when I finally took the plunge I was actually ready to transform the way we looked at healthcare in our home (timing is everything).

So I bought my home essentials collection and got to work. Our family experienced immediate benefits, and we’ve been collected our own personal testimonials ever since.

Over the years we've come to rely on natural solutions for daily wellness in our home, but also to support us when we're feeling under the weather (just because we work hard to stay healthy doesn't mean we never get sick!).

We definitely have some go tos and I wanted to share them with you so that maybe they can be useful if you need them! 

 
 

Before we go on just a little PSA:

  1. I am not a doctor! I’m just sharing what has worked for our family. That being said, I do consider myself the CMO of our household! And I hope as you dive deeper into this lifestyle you start to think the same thing of yourself.

  2. Natural solutions aren’t a one remedy suits all. Our bodies are bioindividual so what works for me might not work for you. This is an incredible opportunity to learn more about your body, the way it works, and how plant medicine can support you. We love trusting natural solutions as a first line of defence for whatever health concerns are thrown our way.

 
 

Now let’s get to the good stuff!

I’ve put together our favourite, most used recipes + remedies to share with you. These are some of the natural solutions we simply will not go without in our home. If at any time you were to take a peek at our home “farmacy” you would find them stocked and ready to use!
