In fact, it is not entirely understood. What I have learned through the years is that our immune system needs more than vitamin C and rest to keep our bodies healthy.<\/p><p><strong>Did you know that the health of your immune system is based on the health of your digestive tract?<\/strong>\u00a0That environment is created and influenced by what you eat, how you act, the energy around you, and how you handle stress. All of those factors are really just snippets of what fuels and supports digestive tract and therefore the immune system.<\/p><p><strong>True health begins with the understanding of prevention and instead of reaction at the time of need<\/strong>.<\/p><p>When we understand that our health depends on what we do daily to support and to serve our body verses reacting to problems like sickness, we gain an opportunity for longevity and a chance to become more intuitive to our needs and what works for our individual body.<\/p><p>With that in mind, I\u2019d like to introduce you to a natural, ancient way to support our immune systems:\u00a0<strong>Essential Oils<\/strong>\u00a0(EO\u2019s).<\/p><p>Specifically, I will be referencing Young Living\u2019s essential oils and my experiences with the purity of the company along with using the essential oils on myself, my family and my dog.

Having an outlet for releasing stress and finding ways to minimize it is important. Some ways I work to reduce stress is through exercise, breathing exercises, yoga, and essential oils.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Our lungs and colon are on the same nerve, which means their functioning mirrors each other. If one is healthy, the other will be healthy and vice versa.<\/p><\/li><li><p>The more you listen to and answer your body\u2019s needs, the more it will tell you about what it wants.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Eat properly as a way to improve your immune system. Fuel your body with vegetables, fruits, meats, and whole grains. Watch out for additives, preservatives, chemicals, dyes, and added sugar, like white sugar and high fructose corn syrup. These extras are very hard on our bodies. They slow down our digestion and line our organs with residue. In addition, they can go into your bloodstream and be filtered around your body to different systems.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Hydrate with pure water. When you drink anything that has added goodies in it, like flavouring, your body does not process it as water, but as glucose. This slows down the movement of your blood cells and adds sugar levels to your body that it has to work to break down to regain a healthy sugar level.<\/p><\/li><li><p>You need to drink at least 40 ounces of good ole\u2019 water consistently every day. If you get more, even better, but make sure you at least hit the 40 ounces. This allows your body to send the water deep into your body and renew what needs to be renewed. If you are not drinking enough water daily, your body will use the water to flush and detox whatever is easiest because it does not know how much water it will get. We need to ensure that we are fuelling our body to the core.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Try to have alkaline and acidic foods with each meal. The two types of foods balance each other out. Being too acidic makes your body a breeding ground for pathogens and will slow down your immune system. It is good practice to also to eat your vegetables first in a meal to support your natural digestive enzymes.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Try to eat one food rich in vitamins A, B, C and D daily to naturally boost your immune system. Supplements are wonderful, but not as easy to digest and use as food, especially because there are good and bad products.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0b47677 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0b47677\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9391d8d\" data-id=\"9391d8d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea9cb02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ea9cb02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mindbodyfoodinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/christin-hume-0MoF-Fe0w0A-unsplash.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e1b5332 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e1b5332\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5323365\" data-id=\"5323365\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a04e26e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a04e26e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>Let\u2019s Dig Into Essential Oils!<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5288826 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5288826\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d48ada8\" data-id=\"d48ada8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bd4f8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bd4f8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Many people are familiar with herbs and plants and the reasons they help our body, especially our healing abilities.\u00a0 Essential oils do the same, just in a stronger way because they are the \u201cessence\u201d of the plant, and can be used in variety of ways: topically, diffused, and ingested.\u00a0<em>(Please note that several Young Living essential oils are FDA-approved for ingestion. Be cautious when considering ingestion with other brands).<\/em><\/p><p>Human cells and plant cells have a very similar structure to them so our bodies assimilate essential oils into our cellular structure. Therefore, the oils support our bodies because our bodies understand them.<\/p><p><strong>An essential oil is the metabolism of a plant<\/strong>.\u00a0The oil performs many functions for the plant such as protecting, repelling, cleansing, and also sending nutrients to where they need to go to. These all stimulate and encourage the natural processes that promote growth. The \u2018essential oil\u2019 is a high potency of the plant that it comes from.<\/p><p>Our bodies process essential oils using the senses. For example, when we smell an essential oil, it takes 22 seconds for the scent to go up our nostrils and reach our olfactory gland. Here it is processed and sent to our limbic gland then our brain applies those molecules to active memory and recall, which causes the molecules to journey to where they are needed.<\/p><p><strong>Breathing in an essential oils\u2019 scent is an extremely quick way to cause our brain to connect to our body\u2019s needs and apply the oil\u2019s molecules accordingly<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Young Living carries a wide selection of oils that can benefit your body physically, mentally, and emotionally. Here are my must-haves for\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">immune support<\/span>:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Frankincense<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>helps to clean the free radicals (man-made toxins) off the cells in your body<\/strong>. We cannot use free radicals as nutrients, so they just move around our body and negatively affect it by clogging the receptor sites of our cells. When this happens, our cells may not receive clear information or proper nutrition. This leads to cells that are unhealthy and can lead to cells mutating.<\/p><ul><li>Put a drop under your tongue in the AM.<\/li><li>Put a drop into your Ningixa Red (Young Living\u2019s supplement drink) in the AM.<\/li><li>Apply over your liver daily.<\/li><li>Apply to temples and down the neck and shoulders.<\/li><li>Diffuse anytime.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Digize\u00a0is a blend of tarragon, ginger, peppermint, juniper, lemongrass, anise, patchouli, and fennel essential oils<\/strong>. It helps your digestive tract work properly. It gets the digestive enzymes moving, helps cleanse and scrub built-up residue from the inner linings of your organs, and stimulates movement in the digestive tract by encouraging pathogens and toxins to move through it.<\/p><ul><li>Apply to stomach AM and PM for routine digestive support.<\/li><li>Apply to stomach when your digestive system is out of balance.<\/li><li>Apply before large or heavy meals.<\/li><li>Ingest a vegetable capsule daily (combine a couple drops of Digize and a couple drops of Extra Virgin Olive Oil).<\/li><li>Diffuse when multiple people have upset stomachs.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Lemon\u00a0is made from the rind of the fruit, which means it is alkaline versus the juice from the lemon, which is acidic<\/strong>.\u00a0Therefore, you can ingest or apply it to bring down acid levels. When our body is too acidic, it is more likely to keep pathogens and toxins. Lemon also cleanses our lymphatic system. The cleaner this system is, the more it can do for our immune system. In addition, lemon helps break down and loosen mucus cells and clusters.<\/p><ul><li>Put a drop in a cup of warm water in the AM to wake up your digestive and lymphatic systems.<\/li><li>Put over the liver or lymph nodes that need support.<\/li><li>Ingest or apply when you feel too acidic.<\/li><li>Apply to your chest when going to bed during allergy season to help move mucus.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Stress Away<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>is made up of<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>lime<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>vanilla extract<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>copaiba<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>lavender, and cedarwood essential oils<\/strong>. This blend is important for our immune system because stress exhausts our bodies. If you have a release and an outlet for your stress, your body\u2019s energy can focus on its natural processes instead of moving and storing stress.<\/p><ul><li>Start your day by applying this oil.<\/li><li>Keep it with you, so you can apply when you need it during the day.<\/li><li>Diffuse to help balance the energy in your environment.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Valor\u00a0supports courage, confidence, and emotional balance<\/strong>.\u00a0The more pity and blues you create when you are sick, the harder it is for your body to bring you out of that weakened state.
