Protect Yourself During This Health Crisis

Well my phone is already ringing off the hook this morning with all the media attention to the Swine Flu. Since I am in the San Antonio area (which is where there are several documented cases), we are getting alot of media attention here; probably even more than the national news is getting!

So the predominant question is, “What can I do to prevent infection and keep my immune system strong in case of exposure?”  

Here’s some suggestions I have for keeping your body healthy and your immune system strong ALL the time: 

Young Living Inner Defense…this product reinforces systemic defenses, creates unfriendly terrain for yeast/fungus, promotes healthy respiratory function, and contains potent essential oils like oregano, thyme, and Thieves which are rich in thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol for immune support.

Young Living Ninja Red- NingXia Red offers the highest protection against the dangerous superoxide free radical as tested by Brunswick Laboratories’ S-ORAC test; contains the power of the whole Ningxia wolfberry; formulated to maintain and support normal immune function; contains five of the richest sources of free-radical-fighting antioxidants: wolfberry puree, blueberry, pomegranate, apricot, and raspberry juices; includes the essential oils of lemon and orange, which contain the phytochemical d-limonene to promote normal cell life cycles.

Young Living Life 5- Life 5 builds and restores core intestinal health by providing five clinically proven probiotic strains including three advanced super strains to enhance intestinal health, sustain energy and improve immunity.

Young Living ImmuPower - For building, strengthening, and protecting the body. Diffuse daily to protect your home environment. ImmuPower may also be applied to the bottom of the feet, at the base of the neck, and along the spine.

Young Living Essential Oils Thieves & Purification - These two essential oils are POWERFUL when mixed together.  I just get an empty mist/spray bottle and fill with water.  Then I add 10 drops of each of these oils to it.  Shake vigorously and spray around your house!  This will kill airbone bacteria and other pollutants to help keep your air fresh and pure and your lungs free from toxins!  Be sure to not spray directly on top of fine furnishings as the oils and water could have a detrimental effect.   I usually spray a few feet above the carpeting around fine furniture and directly above head when there is nothing underneath for the oils/water to hurt.

And lastly, make some Garlic Parsley Soup and freeze to have on hand if you start to feel body aches or get fatigued….it is very soothing and will help you feel better.

There’s my protocol for keeping you healthy during this health crisis.  As always, strengthening your immune system and keeping your body strong will keep you healthy!  All products can be ordered direct from Young Living.  Please contact me for any questions you have about these suggestions to keep your body and immune system strong!

Stay Healthy and Well!
