How to beat Asthma with Essential Oils in just 2 weeks (a Case Study)

Breathlessness. Wheezing. Tightness in the chest. A continual cough. Do you, or someone you care about suffer from asthma? If so, you may have medication to treat the symptoms but nothing that you seem to do makes this chronic condition go away permanently? One of my clients was in this exact situation. She had suffered from respiratory issues her whole life. First contracting bronchitis as a baby, and then every winter therafter. Some years when she was very young the bronchitis was so bad that she was hospitalised with it. Impact of Asthma Then a couple of years ago, around age 30, she developed chronic asthma. The asthma caused her to have difficulty breathing and to cough constantly, to the point where she was in pain and would continually lose her voice. To add injury to insult, the asthma also caused ongoing chest infections. My client found herself being repeatedly prescribed two different types of puffers and antibiotics. The asthma would generally clear up a bit but then would reoccur shortly after she finished a course of medication. It got to the point that nothing she was taking was working. It is important to note here that my client is well known in the world of business in Australia, having been named on the Top 10 list of Australian Women Entrepreneurs for 2017 by My Entrepreneur Magazine and appointed as

Cold and Flu – which essential oils are useful?

Cold and Flu - which essential oils are useful? Are you, or someone you care for, suffering through multiple colds and flus this winter? If so then these videos should be very useful. It is a series of videos (Part 1 and Part 2) about which essential oils I recommend using when you or someone you are caring for is coming down with, or already suffering from, a cold or flu. I will talk about how our bodies are actually designed to heal themselves. When we have a cold or flu our body is giving us a message to STOP. The traditional treatment for cold and flu of 'resting and keeping up your fluids' is actually spot on! Unfortunately listening to our bodies and giving them time to rest and recover is not readily accepted in today's Western society. We are expected to 'soldier on' with a cold and keep doing everything we would normally do. Because of this societal expectation allopathic cold and flu 'remedies' are readily available that treat the symptoms of the illness and therefore allow us to keep going with our normal lives. However, this actually slows down and prevents the natural healing processes of your body. You cough to remove irritants, you have excess mucous production because your body is protecting and moisturising itself, you have a fever because your body is fighting the infection.

I’m feeling sick – should I have Reiki?

A client - and dear friend - rang me today to cancel her appointment because she has come down with a nasty cold, unfortunately a few days before she is flying overseas! She was booked in for an aromatherapy massage, and as she was suffering from nasal congestion and feeling a bit feverish the idea of taking off her clothes and lying face down for 45 minutes was not appealing! She was also concerned about giving me her germs. My first reaction was, of course, sympathy! My second reaction was that my clients should not ever worry about giving me their illness. I told Jules that I could protect myself, and I meant it most sincerely! As Reiki Master I will always ensure that I protect myself from taking on the energies of other people and my use of essential oils gives me (and clients) added protection, through diffusing oils that have anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-septic properties to ward off any germs that may lurk in my treatment room! Really, would you not go to see your GP because you were sick and didn't want to give them your germs? No, of course not. My dream is that in the future more people will go to an energy healer as their first point of call for treatment of any illness.* Most illnesses have their origins in your energetic body. In

Winter Remedies – Cold and Flu

Last month I wrote a post about nasal and chest congestion, and how DoTerra's wonderful Easy Air® essential oil blend is so effective in dealing with this. Melbourne's sudden winter onset seems to bring about a rapid increase in coughs and sniffles, yes we've hit cold and flu season. So I thought that the week of the Winter Solstice was perfect timing to write about On Guard®, another Doterra blend, which is the cure-all for any infection (so it does tend to come in handy all through the year!) and is truly one of the best cold and flu remedies that I have ever used. As it's name suggests, On Guard will protect you from all those nasty bugs out there! It is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiseptic. I get it out the minute someone is feeling ANY illness coming on. The result: that illness completely goes away again, or at the very least is reduced in severity and length. On Guard comes in several different forms – including teensy capsules and throat drops - to make it perfect for the whole family to use. My kids (because they are the children of a crazy oils lady!!) are very good at taking a drop of oil in half a glass of water - with accompanying groans and weird facial expressions! But - especially when they are feeling very under the weather - it is

Winter Remedies – Nasal & Chest Congestion

I had a meeting with my lovely digital marketing guru Lainie, last week, and she was really under the weather with a runny nose and feeling very chesty. We had a lot to get through and limited time so unfortunately I couldn't give her any Reiki (I do keep offering though!) When she left I plied her with two fantastic doTerra products that I use all the time, especially with my kids over winter. Firstly, the Easy Air, or Breathe, oil blend that is a fantastic natural alternative to Vicks vapour rub to use aromatically (in a diffuser) or topically - on your chest and throat, and the bottoms of your feet. This will help to clear your airways and can be used at night to aid with sleeping without disturbing the whole family, as well as during the day to soldier on through school or work. I also gave Lainie some On Guard throat lozenges which I have to say my children don't like ('too spicy') but the On Guard products are my go-to as soon as anyone around me has even an inkling that they are coming down with a cold. Watch out for another post about On Guard soon and in the meantime visit our shop to check out our full Essential Oils range.
