my friend Beth, who i co-teach essential oils classes with, recently purchased a zyto compass. a zyto compass scans your body for negative responses and then suggests what Young Living essential oils + supplements your body requires. watch the video above for a better explanation. i have heard testimonies of children who got over food allergies (over a long period of time...like years) by using the scanner's suggested oils. i have also read testimonies from aromatherapists saying that the scanner is pretty accurate. so, i got scanned on Saturday, and this was my suggested list to help improve my health: 46 biomarkers out of range 1. YL Essential Beauty Serum (Dry) - i guess my face needs moisture, which is true, because my eyebrows are always dry. 2. Joy - this one is totally obvious to me in hindsight. i have been struggling with my 3yo daughter's temper tantrums for over a month + it makes me super grumpy all the time. 3. Eucalyptus Radiata (singles) - i have been congested lately because of all of the humidity. 4. Citrus Fresh - i think this is also for uplifting my emotions. but it also supports the immune system. 5. Thieves - i use this all the time for preventing sicknesses. i wonder if my congestion is more than what it is?
anyway, if you are curious to get yourself or your children scanned for a kind of health assessment, email me: oilandbubble (at) gmail (dot) com; or private message via Facebook: Karen Chow Hsu.
i recently recovered from a flu-like illness...in two full days. What did i do? i didn't take any antibiotics. i slept as much as i could. The only thing i added was applying thievesessential oil blend to my feet every few hours. the day that i started to feel sick, i rushed out the door + did not apply thieves. as i usually do. during the day, i felt a little light-headed...and totally wished i had a bottle of thieves with me to apply and boost my immune system. when i got home, i was already a mess. my symptoms: + fever hanging around 101degF. + icky, nauseated feeling in the stomach + body achiness + tiredness i felt so gross and throw-up-y, i immediately applied 2-3 drops of thieves to the bottoms of my feet+ headed to bed (not easy for a mother of two). i applied thieves every time i woke up (which was about every 2-3 hours, since i'm still nursing a 5-month-old baby). i also applied peppermint to help cool off my body. i did not vomit during the illness. my fever went down to 99degF after applying peppermint. (+ i could function for an hour or so + interact with my family before heading off to bed again. of course, i wasn't eating much, but at least i was able to nurse my baby okay. lessons learned about thieves: + don't ever forget to put thieves on in the morning before leaving the house. + diffuse thieves in the house everyday during cold + flu season. + while sick, it seems like applying thieves helps the body recover faster.
note about thieves: one of the essential oils in it is lemon + lemon is photosensitive (so never apply thieves to an area exposed to sun in the next 24 hours).
thieves was the next oil I tried. this essential oil blend is a mix of clove, lemon***, cinnamon, eucalyptus radiata, and rosemary. it came highly recommended by my oil friend, who touted its anti-bacterial, anti-microbial value, especially during flu season. funny thing, my 2-year-old daughter happened to get sick over the weekend after i got thieves in the mail. so, i used it...applying it to her feet every hour. it really lifted her mood. instead of being whiny and clingy, she was able to play + she was able to go to school without missing any days! since then, we have diffused it every school day for 30 minutes. and we apply thieves to all of our family's feet before we go out into crowds/school/work. + my husband has not gotten sick + applying it on a sore throat helped it not progress into a cold + my daughter has only missed 2 days of school (since mid-August) + my infant son has slept better if he is congested + I apply it ***lemon essential oil is sensitive to light, so only apply thieves on places not exposed to the sun, if you plan on being under the sun in the next 24 hours.
