Research bunny trail ... "Bootleggers"


As I was doing some research and reading The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple by Dr. David Stewart (I totally enjoy reading this book!) today I saw “bootlegger page 158” in the index and I thought, “What?” So obviously once I completed my task (yes, I stayed focused thanks to the essential oils) I had to go look it up. Figured I might as well share this bunny trail with you!

“Methyl alcohol (or methanol) is also known as “wood alcohol” because it can be produced from wood chips. It is highly toxic. During the days of Prohibition in the U.S., during the 1920s, the corn whiskey made by bootleggers (owners of illegal distilleries) sometimes produced spirits contaminated with wood alcohol. Those who unwittingly drank the tainted liquor either died or went blind. Methyl alcohol is also produced in our bodies when we ingest aspartame (NutraSweet(R)), which has resulted in vision problems for some. Think of methyl alcohol as a marriage between two radicals – methyl and hydroxyl.”

Yet another reason to NOT drink artificial sweeteners!

Hope you enjoyed today's momentary bunny trail … now back to the research!

Be blessed!

Diffuse and reap the benefits!


Read this during my research time today:

A university in Japan experimented with diffusing different oils in the office. When they diffused lemon, there were 54% fewer errors, with jasmine there were 33% fewer errors, and with lavender there were 20% fewer errors. When oils were diffused while studying and taking a test, test scores increased by as much as 50%.  Hmm ... maybe that's partly why I like diffusing Lemon at home? And here I thought it was for the clean fresh scent.

Diffusing an essential oil while studying may also improve memory while taking a test.  By inhaling the same aroma, the smell of the oil may encourage recall of facts or figures learned previously by bringing back the memory of what was studied. I've pretty much heard this most of my life.  (In high school and college I may have used this statement for an excuse to get by with no sleep and lots of caffeine ... or well, ... )  In some of my training and certification classes we have put this theory to the test and I can say, after all my years of avoiding taking chemistry ... Essential Oil Chemistry is one of my favorite certification classes I have gotten to take.  Who knew! Not me obviously.

I always recommend when starting with an oil for a challenge, if a person is not lead to a specific oil, then start with the more inexpensive ones and go from there. In the study above, the oils go from lemon to lavender to jasmine in cost; however the best results were seen with the most inexpensive oil.

So ... don't just pick an oil because it costs more ... choose an oil because you are drawn to it or from your research of the oil. With essential oils,  they each have a specific purpose (Best use scenario then where they are optimal), they can serve the purpose of many areas and they are at your command to use as need.  The cost reflects the process in growing, harvesting and obtaining the essential oil in its optimum state.

It's kind of like each one of us ... we each are gifted and outstanding in an area, can do an okay job in general areas getting by and in an area out of our knowledge and experience,  if someone is telling us how to do the specifics,  we can do it. (Just wouldn't want to put this in to practice with anything major like putting a basement under an existing home unless absolutely have to, at which time one might be really good at it because you would be listening closely and performing exactly what you are told to do. Hmm, ponder thought there.  Might want to try it on someone else's home first ... just kidding!) We shine best in our calling and gifting but are still usable in other ways.

So, get your diffuser ... or go order one from www.1111order.com ... and start diffusing to launch you into higher levels of your designed greatness ... or diffuse lemon and make less errors while walking out your greatness!  Just get diffusing ... it helps and supports more than you probably know in your life!

Feel free to comment below with what you're diffusing right now or what your favorites are to diffuse!  We love to hear from you!

Bioscan Results


I so enjoy how my bioscan report always affirms what is going on in my life emotionally, spiritually and physically.  It's a great affirmation of the areas I was already focusing on in my life.

Every bioscan gets a print out with more detailed info; however, here's my graphic with today's emotional/spiritual aspects of the different essential oils.  I really enjoy how each day I learn more about the oils whether its in how it supports health in the physical body, how it assists with the emotional health or helps assist to reach higher spiritual levels.

Some times it helps me focus to be able to switch my perspective of the current circumstances in my life from the world's negative view to Christ's positive aspect aspect of how I am being expanded, stretched and grown ... which always makes it easier to focus and get through the challenge when I have a clear focus/purpose.

In case the graphic is to small, here's my summarized results:

PD 80/20 - Supports my endocrine (I'm constantly maxing that out!), cardiovascular & immune system.

Clary Sage - Helps turn intolerance into reasonable.

Roman Chamomille - Helps turn petrified to harmony.  Helps turn unwelcomed to purposed.

Cedarwood - Helps turn conceit to meekness.

Heading to Michigan this weekend to help a team member with some oil training and a scan and sniff party.  Going to be such fun.

Get in touch if you want to schedule your own personal Bioscan or to host a "Scan and Sniff" Party.   You can use the contact me form at the tab at the top of the page or email me direct at BeHealthyHisWay@gmail.com.

Have a wonderfully blessed day!
