An Herbal "Bomb" for Good Health!

Today I had to call customer support because I accidentally double ordered Oregano (I don't always have sharp moments), and though I couldn't change my order, I spoke with the young lady on the phone and we discussed back and forth about some of the different uses for various oils and oil products we have in our personal collection. 

I recently purchased a different oil supplement called Mito2Max - I'm hoping it will boost my energy levels and keep me awake during the day in lieu of seeking out chocolate or sugary sweets or even coffee.  I can't handle much caffeine so I am always seeking out alternative energy sources.  She takes DDR Prime for energy and cellular health.  (I'll keep you posted on this new product).

We got to talking about why I ordered the Oregano in the first place... It's great for clearing up congestion, great for colds, and just an all-round fabulous immune booster. I've started using it in something I have dubbed my "Herbal Bomb".  Well, that peeked her curiosity so I told her about why I combine the oils that I do and started taking this every day.  I'll pass that info on to you, the person reading this, in case you are interested in getting the oils and trying this for yourself.

The recipe I use is 2 drops each of Oregano, Basil, Rosemary, Marjoram, and Thyme in a gel capsule, once a day.  

And this is why:

Oregano: (Antibacterial, Anti-Fungal, Antiseptic for respiratory system, Antiviral, Immune Stimulant)

Rosemary: (Antibacterial, Anticancer, Anti-Fungal, Anti-Infectious, Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant, Expectorant)

Thyme: (Antibacterial, Anti-Fungal, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Antiviral, Antiseptic)

I am always interested in feedback and finding out new ways to use all the great essential oils.  I definitely prefer to use Mother Nature's gifts than chemicals we as a society have grown dependent upon.

If you'd like to "get back to the basics" and want to give these great oils a try, I always suggest trying the Intro Pack to start with.

For additional information about oil, their uses, products, and overall better health, I have links to some of my favorite sites on the side bar on this blog.  Feel free to check them out!

Thank you for taking the time and reading my blog.

Take the time to smile, for you never know when you'll meet someone that needs a friendly face more than any riches in life.
