Kids Respiratory Support

January 23, 2019 By April Unruh Leave a Comment

sick-child-today-160212-tease_ad493b788c6f9aa9fca2a6105f1b6aee

 

My son woke up with a cough a couple days ago with some congestion. Perfect timing after my immune week because now I can tell you about the protocol I use for my kids when they get sick. ⁣
⁣
Step 1: I put some oils in a bowl, added hot water and had him inhale the oils for a few minutes. This will make you cough a little as you inhale the vapors but as the oils start working the coughing will decrease. ⁣I used 1 drop each of Eucalyptus, melaleuca and lime these oils help to soothe the respiratory system and help to break down mucus. I added the oils to the bowl first and then add the hot water. The vapors will dissipate quickly so make sure they are inhaled quickly. I also tell my kids to keep their eyes closed because the oils will get in their eyes and sometimes I will put a towel over their head.
⁣
Step 2: set up a diffuser next to him with respiratory oils / oils that break down mucus. ⁣I used the same oils that I used in the steam bowl (in step 1) 3 drops of each, plus 1 drop of oregano to help kill off pathogens.
⁣
Step 3: Warm tea with a drop of Onguard (for kids 5+) for immune support⁣. I use any tea that I have on hand, add a couple drops of liquid stevia and then 1 drop of onguard.
⁣
Step 4: Sit still and relax 😅⁣I will have my kids sit and watch TV, play on their ipad and just relax while they are sitting next to the diffuser and inhaling the oils.
⁣
Step 5: you can consider the respiratory protocol from the symphony of the cells book. I will do this 1-2 times a day when my kids start coughing. ⁣If you are interested in supporting the respiratory system further, I would recommend doing the respiratory protocol from the symphony of the cells book at least 1 time each day. Sometimes I will do this twice a day (using half the oils recommended).
⁣
The number one rule to remember is to start early. As soon as you notice any signs of coughing / congestion, you need to start the oils. Essential oils work with the body to heal and restore so you only need small amounts, but use them frequently. This is very different from when you use over the counter meds to mask your symptoms. The oils are metabolized by the body within 30-40 minutes so you can continue using oils again soon after to continue supporting your body. For kids (5+) you can use up to 12 drops of oil internally in a 24 hour period and 12 drops of oil topically over a 24 hour period. So you can space out the oils you are using by following this chart. ⁣

January 20, 2019 By April Unruh Leave a Comment

Sick couple catch cold. Man and woman sneezing, coughing, got flu, having runny nose.
Quick tips on oils that are helpful for the pathogens going around. There were over 20 kids that got sent home from school yesterday for having symptoms of one of the seasonal illnesses that goes around each year.
 
**Bergamot oil is effective against pathogens as a vapor after just 10 minutes of exposure.
 
**Eucalyptus oil shows anti-pathogen activity as a vapor.
 
**Thyme oil is effective against pathogens as a liquid phase.
 
**Cinnamon leaf oil also shows anti-pathogen activity as a liquid.
 
**Tea tree oil is effective against pathogens within 5 to 10 minutes of exposure, as found in another study.
 
**Lemon balm (Melissa) is also shown to prevent the avian pathogen from reproducing.
 
How can we start getting schools to diffuse these oils to stop the spread of pathogens??!

What you don’t know about Red Mandarin

January 16, 2019 By April Unruh Leave a Comment

1x1-400x400-red-mandarin

 

Known as the sweetest of all citrus fruits, the red mandarin from the Citrus reticulata tree is usually peeled and eaten whole or used in salads and desserts, but its rind also contains a wonderfully unique essential oil. Although it is similar to the tangerine—in fact, mandarins are often referred to as tangerines interchangeably in some parts of the world—the fruit and the essential oil of Red Mandarin is quite unique in the citrus world. Whether experienced aromatically, topically, or internally, Red Mandarin essential oil can provide a multitude of benefits.
Usage
The biological and physiological activity of essential oils comes down to their chemistry. Red Mandarin’s composition is much like most other citrus oils in its high concentration of limonene, but there are a few twists. Depending on harvesting conditions, approximately 65% to 75% of Red Mandarin’s composition is the cleansing and uplifting monoterpene known as limonene, but it is also rich in an aromatic compound often associated with Cumin, Black Pepper, and Ginger essential oils: gamma-Terpinene (up to 14%).

Research has shown that gamma-Terpinene may have cleansing properties. The concentration of gamma-Terpinene adds to the already potent surface and skin-cleansing abilities of limonene. Whether you are looking for a mild skin toner and clarifier, a great addition to your DIY all-purpose cleaner, or something a little different that can uplift your mood when diffused, Red Mandarin is a great choice.
Need to Relax?

Relax your mind with red mandarin. Add a few drops of red mandarin oil to your diffuser and sit next to your diffuser with your eyes closed for about 10 minutes. Continue to sit quietly or read a book as you inhale the aroma and allow it to calm and create stillness in your mind.

Massage 2 drops of red mandarin with 1/2 tsp coconut oil (or your choice of carrier oil) into your shoulders, neck and the bottom of your feet.

Make a small inhaler to carry on the go when you start having stressful thoughts or feelings. Slowly inhale the aroma to calm your mind and thoughts.

Restful Sleep

At bedtime, massage 2 drops of red mandarin with 1/2 tsp coconut oil (or your choice of carrier oil) into your shoulders, neck and the bottom of your feet. Then add a few drops of red mandarin to your diffuser next to you. This will help ease your mind of any unwanted thoughts and help you sleep soundly through out the night. You can use this for your children as well if they have trouble sleeping restfully.

 

Digestive Support

 Red mandarin essential oil can be used internally to help with some discomfort felt in the digestive system. You can add 1 drop to your water or add 1-2 drops to an empty veggie capsule. *Make sure you get high quality red mandarin essential oil for ingestion, such as doTERRA. 

For babies with gassy tummys, mix 1 drop of oil with 1 tablespoon of carrier oil and light massage the tummy with a small amount of oil every few hours.

Here is an easy tummy roller (10ml) to use for your digestive complaints (cut the recipe in half for kids):

10 drops red mandarin

10 drops Fennel

10 drops Peppermint

Fill with fractionated coconut oil. Apply on your abdomen and massage in every few hours as needed for digestive concerns.

**Red Mandarin is FREE this month (Jan 2018) with select starter kits, send me an email for details: April@EssentialOilPrincess.com

Immunity Week! Watch my Tips this Week on How to Stay Healthy!

January 14, 2019 By April Unruh Leave a Comment

So many questions about how to stay healthy during the time of “seasonal threats” has encouraged me to do an immunity week! ⁣

⁣

Our hands touch so many germy surfaces everyday making it super easy for pathogens to get into our body and make us sick. I am definitely not encouraging germophobe status but part of staying healthy includes keeping germs out of our body, especially when threats are high. ⁣

⁣

Here is my hand sanitizer recipe (helps keep your hands from drying out from other alcohol based sanitizers)⁣:

Using a 1 oz spray bottle, add 5 drops each of onguard blend and melaleuca, then fill 1/4 of the bottle with aloe vera gel and then fill the rest with witch hazel or high proof vodka. Shake and spray!

⁣

P.S- I am looking for more people to educate and mentor on their essential oil journey. If you are ready to take the plunge send me a message. I would love to help you get started and teach you exactly how to use the oils for your needs at home!

Skin Healing Support

January 5, 2019 By April Unruh Leave a Comment

IMG_0646

 

My husband cut his finger really badly last weekend, he probably should have went to the dr to get stitches but he chose to deal with it at home. Now the the bandage is off, I wanted to make up a roller bottle blend of essential oils that would help continue the healing process and reduce the risk of a scar. All of the oils I used in this blend have amazing skin healing qualities and help with cellular support. I used a 10ml roller bottle (but only filled it half way because I didn’t have a 5ml bottle) and added:

10 drops of yarrow Pom

10 drops Frankincense **Get this FREE until Jan 15 with qualified orders

5 drops Sandalwood

5 drops Copaiba

I filled the roller HALF way with fractionation coconut oil. I know that we would not continue using the roller bottle after his wound was healed so I only wanted to make half a recipe (you could use a 5ml roller bottle if you have one). We are rolling a small amount of this skin blend on his finger every couple hours. Essential oils work best when you use small amounts frequently.

**Get Frankincense for FREE until Jan 15: Do you have an account with doTERRA yet?

Yes: Sign into your account and place a 200pv order before Jan 15. You will receive 15ml bottle of Frankincense for FREE automatically.

No: Choose a starter kit over 200pv OR set up an account (zero obligations! No min purchase and No selling) and place a 200pv order before Jan 15. You will receive 15ml bottle of Frankincense for FREE automatically. Click Here to set up your account and get your FREE bottle of frankincense.
