If I am having some seasonal respiratory issues and feeling a little congested in the chest, these are my top picks that I will take!

Fire cider:

Immune support: The ingredients may have immune-supporting properties. Garlic, ginger, and hot peppers are thought to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, while lemon provides vitamin C.

Aids digestion: Apple cider vinegar and ginger are believed to promote better digestion.

Reduces inflammation: Ginger, garlic, and hot peppers may help reduce inflammation in the body.

Clears congestion: Spicy ingredients like horseradish and hot peppers can act as natural decongestants and help clear sinuses.
Improves circulation: The warming properties of ingredients like cayenne pepper can stimulate blood flow.

Tightness in Chest Inhaler:

Kunzea: Rich in the compounds alpha-pinene and 1,8-cineole, which have anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties. It is used to help with congestion, coughs, and other respiratory complaints.

Black Spruce: Acts as an expectorant, helping to clear mucus from the respiratory tract. Its invigorating, woody aroma can help ease breathing.

Sweet Orange: Used in traditional aromatherapy to help relieve symptoms of congestion, though with less scientific evidence than the other two. Its uplifting aroma can boost mood and promote a sense of well-being while you are feeling ill.

Respiratory oil:

Black spruce
Properties: Expectorant and decongestant. It has a grounding, woody scent.
Uses: Supports the respiratory system and is helpful for congestion associated with colds, asthma, and bronchitis.

Scots pine
Properties: Expectorant and anticatarrhal, with a refreshing, forest-like scent.
Uses: Traditionally used for coughs, bronchitis, and sinus pressure to help loosen phlegm.

Rosemary
Properties: Contains cineole, which helps break up mucus, relax the muscles of the trachea, and ease breathing.
Uses: Effective for chest and sinus congestion when inhaled or applied topically (diluted).

Basil linalool
Supports respiratory health: The oil can help clear breathing passages, ease congestion, and may help reduce inflammation in the airways, making it beneficial for colds and asthma.

Lavender
Properties: Anti-inflammatory and calming. Its relaxing scent can help soothe coughs, particularly if they are causing irritation or discomfort.
Uses: Soothes irritated airways and promotes relaxation, which can be helpful for getting a good night's sleep while congested.

Herbal steam:
Thins mucus: The warmth and moisture from the steam help to loosen thick mucus in the sinuses, throat, and chest, making it easier to expel.

Reduces inflammation: Steam can help soothe the irritation and swelling of blood vessels in the nasal passages that cause a stuffy nose.

Delivers therapeutic compounds: When aromatic herbs are steeped in the hot water, their volatile (or essential) oils are released into the steam. Inhaling these compounds can provide targeted antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects directly to the respiratory system.

Supports respiratory health: Beyond treating a specific cold or flu, regular steam inhalation is an ancient practice used to support healthy breathing and immune function, especially during dry or cold season

****As always, this isn't meant to replace medical care, but to assist the body in healing. Always talk with your healthcare provider before trying any regimens that weren't prescribed by them. Especially if you are pregnant/nursing, taking medications, or have a condition that is being treated by your provider.*****

If you have been a fan of my magnesium oil, you will love this version!

Magnesium oil now made with MSM!

You can use magnesium oil for:

Aches and pains: Users, including athletes, apply it to help with sore, overworked muscles and cramps. Small studies have suggested that topical magnesium may help improve symptoms of fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy.

Sleep and relaxation: Magnesium can help relax the nervous system and muscles, which may promote a sense of calm and better sleep.

Skin health: Magnesium oil can help hydrate the skin and may have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Headaches and migraines: Some research suggests a link between magnesium deficiency and migraines, and some users apply magnesium oil to the neck and shoulders for relief.

Restless legs syndrome: Some people find that magnesium helps calm the sensations associated with restless legs.

Benefits of MSM:

Osteoarthritis and joint pain: One of the most popular uses for MSM is to reduce joint pain, stiffness, and swelling associated with arthritis.

Inflammation and antioxidant support: MSM has been found to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It may inhibit the release of molecules that cause inflammation and can boost levels of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant.

Post-exercise recovery: MSM supplements may help reduce muscle soreness and oxidative stress after intense exercise, potentially speeding up recovery.

Assisted stretching can be really helpful for people dealing with sciatic pain because it targets the muscles and areas that often contribute to nerve irritation.

Here’s how it can help:

1. Relieves muscle tension
Tight muscles in the lower back, hips, and hamstrings can put extra pressure on the sciatic nerve. Assisted stretching helps release that tension more effectively than stretching alone.

2. Improves flexibility and mobility
When a trained professional helps guide your stretches, they can safely move your body into deeper stretches than you might achieve on your own. This can improve hip and lower back mobility, which reduces strain on the sciatic nerve.

3. Corrects imbalances
Sometimes sciatic pain is worsened by muscle imbalances (like tight hip flexors or weak glutes). Assisted stretching can target those specific areas to restore balance and alignment.

4. Promotes blood flow and healing
Gentle stretching increases circulation, which can reduce inflammation and promote healing around the irritated nerve.

5. Provides relaxation and support
Because someone else is guiding the stretch, you can fully relax your muscles instead of tensing up. This allows for a deeper, safer stretch.

Boost Your Immune System Naturally with Essential Oils

Looking for natural ways to support your immune system? Essential oils can be a wonderful addition to your wellness routine! Here are some simple and effective ways to use essential oils for immune support:

1. Diffuse for Daily Support
Add a few drops of immune-boosting oils like eucalyptus, tea tree, lemon, or frankincense to your diffuser. Enjoy the fresh aroma while supporting your body’s natural defenses.

2. Topical Application
Dilute essential oils such as oregano, thyme, or rosemary with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba) and apply to the bottoms of your feet or along your spine. This can help your body absorb the benefits safely.

3. Steam Inhalation
Add a drop or two of eucalyptus or peppermint oil to a bowl of hot water. Inhale the steam (with your eyes closed) to help clear your airways and support respiratory health.

4. DIY Immune Roller Blend
Create your own immune support roller by combining a few drops of your favorite oils (like lemon, frankincense, and tea tree) with a carrier oil in a roller bottle. Apply to your wrists, neck, or chest as needed.

5. Clean Your Space
Use essential oils like lemon, tea tree, or lavender in homemade cleaning sprays to help purify your home and reduce germs.

A Few Tips:

Always dilute essential oils before applying to your skin.
