I was reminded of this wonderful recipe today while at the chiro. My lymph glands were feeling a bit sore and I was a bit tired.

It would be a perfect time to receive Raindrop Technique to boost my immune and rebalance.

While there is no substitute for a hands on session by a Raindrop facilitator this recipe is a wonderful way heal.

In addition, drank some extra Ningxia Red, took a couple of Inner Defense and Thieves in a caps. Already feeling better.

What could be better?

How Are Essential Oils Different From Herbs and Food Supplements

Discovering how essential oils are different from herbs and food supplements is an important step in learning the variety of ways to use these powerful plant oils.

Essential Oils are the heartbeat of the plant kingdom, and are perhaps the most exciting life-giving substance we have in the world today. They represent in plants what blood represents in humankind - life! This heartbeat is the energy that was created to deliver the nutrients into every cell of the body Defined; Essential oils are the subtle, volatile liquids that are distilled from plants, shrubs, flowers, trees, bushes and seeds. An ancient process, oil distillation is a delicate and precise art that has been almost forgotten. Science is just now re-discovering the incredible healing power of Essential Oils, and beginning to acknowledge their value for our health.

More Potent Than Herbs....

Being concentrated, the oils contain virtually all of the plants healing nutrients, oxygenating molecules, amino acid precursors, coenzyme A factors, trace minerals, enzymes, vitamins, hormones and more. And because they are concentrated, EO's are from 50 to 70 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they are derived from. Unlike dried herbs that can lose up to 90% of the healing nutrients and oxygen molecules, Essential Oils do not. Research further shows that Essential Oils when applied to skin will penetrate every single cell within 20 minutes.

Because the very life force of the plant is contained in EO's, and because this life force synergizes so favorably with the human body, Essential Oils are now being considered as medicine by some of the world's most prominent doctors.

Clinical research has proven 100% pure (without any solvents or chemical additives), Essential Oils to be:

Immune Stimulating, Antiviral, Anti-infection, Antibacterial, Antimicrobial, Antiseptic, Antitumoral, Antifungal
Recent research has also shown that many of the so called "super bugs" that has modern medicine so concerned, cannot survive in the presence of essential oils...Nor has there been any pathogen known to resist EO's by mutating.

Best of all, 100% pure, therapeutic grade Essential Oils are freely available and safe for home use. Many people diffuse the oils into the atmosphere of their homes, creating a virus free and pleasant environment. Many of the oils are applied directly to the skin to receive almost immediate benefit from many ailments.
Others are inhaled for relief from headaches, nausea, emotional release, etc.

Nature's Most Effective Delivery Agent!"

Because Essential Oils contain such high amounts of oxygenating molecules, they act as an effective delivery agent to bring food nutrients THROUGH the cell wall to feed the cell nucleus.

Without an adequate delivery agent to assist the cell to receive needed nutrients, the cell can become deprived of needed nutrition. Without adequate nutrition, the cell wall thickens hindering further delivery of nutrients. When malnutrition occurs, the cell begins to deteriorate, creating a host for disease-causing pathogens. Essential Oils are known for their ability to pass through the thickest cell walls. They have the ability to restore diseased and malnourished cells back to health. In fact, EO's are nature's most effective catalyst and delivery agent for feeding your body's several trillion cells.

The POWER of Ningxa Red - Strongest Antioxidant food supplement juice

In China, in the early 1980s, a group of researchers from the Natural Science Institute began studying a region on the West Elbow Plateau of the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia where people lived to be over 100 years old, 10 to 20 years longer than the average person in the region.

The inhabitants shared one trait that distinguished them from others. They were predominantly vegetarian and regularly consumed wolfberries. Moreover, the people who consumed this fruit lived free of common degenerative diseases like arthritis, cancer, and diabetes. Both the Ningxia wolfberry (also known as Lycium barbarum by botanists and as the goji berry by native Chinese) and ginseng (Panax ginseng) have been highly regarded for centuries as the foremost nutritional and therapeutic plants in China.

In fact, the Chinese hold a strong belief that human life might be extended significantly by using either of these herbs for an extended period. Unfortunately, ginseng is considered too strong for continuous use, and large amounts may not be suitable for people with high blood pressure or heart disease. On the other hand, the wolfberry is much milder, with no known risk from continuous use.

Last Minute Gift Idea

I LOVE taking baths with epsom salts and / or baking soda with essential oils. I was reminded by friend this morning how easy you can create a wonderful simple gift for a friend, family member or hostess, etc.

Find a pretty jar or make a fabric cap for a mason jar and half fill with Epsom salts or a mixture of Epsom Salt & baking soda. Tip 2-3 drops of your favorite oil blend (like Peace & Calming) and then fill the rest of the way with Epsom salts. Shake well.

The oils will diffuse and fragrance the whole jar creating a relaxing & cleansing bath experience, what a great gift!

NOTES:
  • This makes a great a way to introduce friends and family to the power of the oils as well. Use about 2 drops in a quart size jar!
  • For a great detox or auric cleanse use all baking soda and a few drops of clove essential oil.
Enjoy!!

December’s Recipe Using Clove and More!

December’s Recipe Using Clove and More!

Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree…how lovely are thy seasonal fruits! Mixed with fresh baby greens, this makes a festive holiday salad with colors that glimmer like twinkling lights. I like to introduce this dish by separating the ingredients for my children to design their own edible Christmas trees. I encourage them to decorate any way they choose and then we take pictures of their artwork. They are more excited to eat their creations when they have had their hand in the creative play—and I am thrilled to see them eating healthfully!
Clove, cinnamon, tangerine, and orange YLTG essential oils electrify the taste buds for a delicious, tangy, sweet, and spicy start to any holiday celebration. As we sprinkle drops of orange oil on the salad (see recipe instructions), I like to share with my children the story of how in times of hardship, seasonal fruits and nuts were given as presents instead of toys. The drops of oil nestled within the fresh greens represent oranges as presents under the Christmas tree. The surprise is revealed when tasting the hint of oil throughout each bite. Brighten this time of the year with health and vitality from the gifts found in nature.

Until next post: January’s Chipotle Party Pepper Poppers

Happy Eating

Clove Cinnamon Seeds
1 c. soaked and dried pumpkin seeds
1 c. soaked and dried sunflower seeds
3/4 c. maple syrup or maple sugar
¼ c. Nama Shoyu or wheat-free Tamari
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 drops YLTG clove oil
1 drop YLTG cinnamon oil

This component should be made at least two days ahead of time. Combine ingredients and pour onto solid dehydrator sheets in one layer. Dehydrate 24 hours @ 105° Fahrenheit. Flip the gooey mixture onto mesh sheets. Continue drying until crisp, approximately 24 hours. Store in the freezer until ready to use.

Tangerine Pomegranate Vinaigrette
1/3 c. raw honey or maple sugar
1/4 c. pomegranate juice
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1 c. grapeseed oil
1 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1 Tbsp. dried onion flakes
1/4 tsp. ground mustard powder
1/4 tsp. Himalayan salt
1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
4 drops YLTG tangerine oil

Half one pomegranate and juice both halves in a citrus juicer, as if juicing an orange. Reserve 1/4 cup extracted juice for the dressing. Blend first three ingredients in a Vita Mix blender. On slow speed, add grapeseed oil until emulsified. Pulse chop the remaining ingredients. (Before adding the tangerine oil, I like to taste the dressing first. Then, I add the oil drops to taste the difference. I truly appreciate how delightful the oil flavors the recipe!)

Orange Holiday Greens
1 lb. mixed baby greens
4 Fuyu persimmons, julienne
4 red pears, julienne
2 baby cucumbers, sliced
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
4 drops YLTG orange oil, per serving
1 starfruit, sliced (optional to top the tree)

Toss baby greens with vinaigrette. Mound salad greens in the center of each plate. Drop 4 drops orange oil throughout each mound of greens. Arrange ingredients around plate for everyone to decorate their own Christmas tree. Top the mound with a slice of starfruit (optional).

Healthy Old Fashion Oatmeal Essential Oil Cookies

Ingredients:
2 cups non GMO butter (1 lb. or 4 cubes)
12 ozs cold pressed organic honey
12 ozs Young Living Blue Agave
4 organic brown free range eggs
6 cups sifted whole grain flour (King Arthur stone ground is great - 5 lb bag will do it)
2 tsp. allspice
4 tsp. cinnamon
3 drops Young Living cinnamon bark oil - Cinnamomum Verum)
2 tsp. cloves
3 drops Young Living clove oil - Syzygium Aromaticum)
3 drops Young Living Thieves oil blend
2 tsp. sea salt
4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/3 cups goat milk
4 cups organic raisins (24 oz. canister covers it)
7 cups oatmeal (42 oz. canister covers it)
7 cups organic walnuts (halves)
2 tsp. vanilla

Cream together butter, honey/agave, and eggs and set aside.
Sift flour then measure.

Sift together flour, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, salt and baking soda.

Stir dry ingredients into creamed mixture.

Preheat oven to 375.

Mix in milk, vanilla and essential oils.

Stir in raisins, walnuts and oatmeal.

Drop by well-rounded tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet. (I prefer to hand roll them perfectly round.
Dust your hands withdry flour as needed so the dough doesn't stick to you hands.)

Bake at 375 for 17-19 minutes.

Don't expect the same results unless you are using Young Living Therapeutic Grade essential oils and supplements. Also each person is different so they may not work as well for you as it does for others so try another oil or supplement that would work better for you.
