Ugh, Sinus Infection

    Both my husband and I could feel something coming on over the weekend and unfortunately we did get sick.  I had been taking my homemade Anti-Plague all weekend and it was keeping my sinus passages clear during the day, but when I laid down at night nothing good was happening.

    I know a lot of people that suffer with Sinus Infections but I have never had one. By Monday I had lost my sense of smell and had to call someone and ask if losing your sense of smell was a sign of a Sinus Infection and they confirmed that it was. I got out my netipot and added some colloidal silver to it and used it a several times to help fight the infection, as well as taking more Anti Plague which is the same as Dr. Christopher’s Super Garlic Immune Formula. I also went to my Chiropractor and he did a cranial adjustment that was magic to relieve the pressure in my head. I am also using the Garden Essence Respiratory Congestion blend, so weird to not be able to smell it, but I know it is doing me good to use it!

    I feel much better today than I did yesterday and will continue doing all three until things are cleared up! I like having a variety of herbs and oils available so that when something crops up, and it always does, I’m ready! Oh, and by the way, my bottle of Anti-Plague is from a batch I made back in April of 2000! You can learn how to make it here, and note that I was talking about the old bottle of Anti Plague in the blog post. I haven't touched the 2011 batch yet, but will break into it by tomorrow when I finish up this old bottle!

    Now is the time to stock up on winter remedies. The Super Garlic Immune Formula tends to have availability problems once winter hits, so stock up now so that you have it when you need it! There has already been a lot of "yuk" going around, so keep your supplies stocked so that you can handle what ever comes your way!

Alternative medicine is my family's affordable health care plan

    I am thankful that I live in a country that allows me to buy alternative medicine.  There are many countries where people no longer have this right.  I can’t imagine what would happen to my health if I did not have all of these wonderful herbs and essential oils to help keep me healthy.  I am also thankful for the extra sale we are having this month so I can stock up on the products my family loves to use.

    I was talking my niece Hollie recently and she mentioned that her son came home not feeling well after school.  She has a hard time getting him to take any herbs, but was able to rub his feet several times that evening with the Glandular Massage Oil and Garden Essence X-Plague combo.  In the morning he woke up feeling fine and was able to go to school.  I love this combo and will use it on my throat at night or any time I am feeling a sore throat coming on. Add 60 drops of X-Plague to the 2 oz. bottle of Glandular Massage Oil.  You get a lot for your money and lots of protection and healing for your family.

    Hollie has a special needs child that cannot use herbs due to her medical condition.  She diffuses oils during this time of year to help keep her daughter healthy and has avoided the hospital stays of the past.  The big favorite is again X-Plague which has highly anti-viral, antiseptic properties to help protect the body from the onset of flu, E-coli, colds, sore throats and more.

    Another blend that is good for colds, bronchitis, flu, sore throat and mucus congestion is Garden Essence Respiratory Congestion. I would make a roller bottle with fractionated coconut oil or any other carrier oil, add 10 drops of Respiratory Congestion and apply on chest and feet as well as diffusing it into the air. This will be added protection for your family during the winter cold and flu season. We hope to be able to offer a great diffuser soon!  We’ll let you know!

    Here is a  great laundry combo to help fight the germs in clothing, soften the clothes and keep your front loading washer clean too! For a fraction of the cost use 1/2 cup white vinegar with 3 drops of Citrus Blend to kill the bacteria.  I didn’t have Citrus Blend so tried Garden Essensce Cleansing blend in my laundry.  Cleansing is a powerful antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, with sanitizing properties. Helps kill odors, bacteria, molds, fungus, anaerobic bacteria, mildew, cigarette smoke and other odors making it a great oil to use in the laundry. My laundry came out smelling fresh and the washer doesn't have that musty smell now!

    Cleansing is a great oil to diffuse or use topically in a roller bottle as described above.  You can purchase Cleansing and other Garden Essence single oils and oil blends at Herbs First where they are always on sale!
