After watching Charley suffer with diabetic foot pain for several weeks, I finally had to insist he try alternative support......hes still a big skeptic and "fought me on it" until he couldn't take the pain, numbness, and the tingling he decided to "just humor me and try my suggestions. He applied 3 drops each of young living lavander and lemongrass oils and slept the whole nite comfortably he started using this protocol every nite before bed, and hadn't experienced those symptoms since starting it
#baby boomers taking back control

TOP 3 MUST HAVES for spring cleaning baby boomer style
THIEVES HOUSEHOLD CLEANER a total must have
1 bottle = endless uses. This is a true multitasking
Wipe down counters, cabinets, sinks, freshen up tiles all with the warm spicey scent of thieves . If you have babies or pets thieves household cleaner is the cleaner you should be using on your floors.
LEMON ESSENTIAL OIL
Sticky messes old labels gunk on wood, a few drops of lemon oil will cut right thru that grime in no time and smells like sunshine
PURIFICATION OIL say goodbye to musty smells in shoes, closets and laundry rooms. Add a few drops in your diffuser or cotton balls and breath in that freshness.
BOOMER BONUS TIP
You can create your own "soft scrub" by mixing thieves cleaner lemon and purification oils to use on tubs or stove tops.....takes you right back to the days of using "elbow grease" without actual grease order here
