Essential oils are an important part of any natural wellness toolbox and can be used for health benefits in a variety of ways. They can replace so many toxic chemicals too. Essential oils themselves have played a part in helping me to reverse my hypothyroid symptoms by replacing all my candles, fabric refreshers and even my perfume which helps me to create an environment my body can heal. And that helps my thyroid!
Essential oils have been around forever. They were even found in Egyptian tombs and were still good because they never expire! They are the life blood of plants and part of their immune systems so when we use them they can actually have a lot of health benefits too BUT…it is very important that you use high quality essential oils and not just the ones you find in local health food, grocery and big box stores. Those are just perfume grade and some even contain chemicals.
That is why I partner with Young Living Essential Oils. I like that they show you their farms where the plants are actually grown and how they make their oils. You can even visit the farms and watch the process for yourself! (I will be going this October to the lavender farm myself!) You never have to guess what could be in the bottle and I am all about KNOWING exactly what I am purchasing. I make it a point to research it ALL! I value true transparency above all else with companies.
I have many personal product success stories AND many more from hundreds of my customers too. I’ve been a brand partner with them for 8 years. The products simply JUST WORK.
They also have the largest selection of essential oils of ANY company.
Many don’t even realize that Young Living has a whole line of plant based essential oil infused products like:
Supplements (high quality, essential oil infused to maximize absorption and I use and recommend many of them)
Cleaners (household cleaner, laundry soap, hand soap, dish soap, etc… Everyone should be cleaning with these because toxic cleaners negatively impact your thyroid function and disrupt your hormones)
Personal Care (shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, lotion, body wash since these contain toxins too)
Oral care
Makeup (we usually sacrifice out health for our beauty but we don’t have to)
Skincare
A baby care line
A CBD Line
Even a pet line
Which makes it easy to ditch toxic products and switch to better alternatives to help your thyroid, hormones and body to be healthier!! Getting rid of toxic chemicals has been important in helping my thyroid to function better like I stated above.
I also like to make my own products with essential oils when I can find simple and inexpensive DIY’s because that way I control every single ingredient. They work just as well as the toxic stuff that I use to buy that burdened my body with chemicals before hypothyroidism and Hashimotos stole my health and I had to fight to get it back. From eye makeup remover, to bath bombs to dry shampoo to wood polish, I make many things that save my health, time and my money!
