April showers bring May flowers. We have had some 80 degree days here in southern Wisconsin. A little early for late April, early May but our garden seeds are loving the warmth if nothing else.

With so much uncertainty in the world around us, we are going to get serious about some important facts about pure Essential Oils. (We are not talking about the cheap knock-offs). With so many catastrophic events happening with the weather, it brings much uncertainty. One thing I do not worry about is how we care for our health because we have relied on Young Living for 14 years now to do all the things in our home. We do not buy over the counter items for our health, we don't buy commercial cleaners, we know where and how our vitamins are sourced and so I am going to share with you all the goodness so you can gain some knowledge and make the choices that are best for your family.
Why do we need a list of oils and products that are best to have on hand for an emergency kit? First and foremost, because Young Living oils do not expire. We can keep them on a shelf, in a drawer, in a box, or in an emergency backpack and they will be there, as powerful as ever, even if its 25+ years from now. Yes, I have a couple oils from when I first started Young Living 14 years ago and I use them sparingly and for very specific uses. They do not loose their potency.
Second, they are very easy to use. I grew up with a mom who used poultices and dried herbs that had a shelf life and that had to be boiled, smashed into a paste or put in capsules. Our Young Living oils are easy to use. Open the bottle and drop them on your spine, on your feet, on the back of your neck, directly onto that oh so aching muscle or put them in a capsule or glass of water. Even if you are not sure where to put them, they absorb and go directly into your bloodstream so they get into your cells and work efficiently even if you put them on your feet for head tension. Its amazing how they just know where to work in the body! They are safe for your brand new babies, for your pets and for you! I have had multiple pets that we used only oils on for their mishaps and 12 grandbabies to date that have all had lots and lots of oils used on them, starting at birth!
Third, they are easy to carry. I have an oil bag for my purse so I always have them at the ready when I am out of the house and I have oils in my hiking backpack too. I carry Peppermint and Purification, RC or Eucalyptus and our vitality electrolyte drops when we hike so I don't have to worry about getting dehydrated or if I get bitten by bugs or snakes, and Peppermint naturally cools off the body internally when applied to the back of the neck and RC opens up your airways when there may be difficulty breathing from pollutants in the air or just exertion. The Eucalyptus, RC or Peppermint are also great for rubbing on your sore aching feet after a long hike or long day at work. Your feet will love you for it!
Lastly, did you know that most essential oils are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and are anti-inflammatory and so much more. We even have a few that restore nerves and stop bleeding. So many mistake them for just a way to make your home smell good but people who use Young Living daily, use them because they work at the cellular level, they work at resolving the issue that is creating the imbalance in your body instead of most over the counter products that work like bandaids and do not affect the healing of the body and mind.
Did you know that pain is good? I say it all the time in classes and many are shocked but it is true. Pain is the bodies mechanism to tell you that something is out of balance, that you need to stop and pay attention and help find the root cause of what is going on and not to just toss some Advil down the hatch and be content that the pain is gone. You want to take care of "why" you have the pain in the first place.
We do not want Amazon health. Instant gratification does not bring about true health. True health takes time, effort, consistency and intention. True health does not come from cheap food, cheap vitamins and cheap chemicals to clean our homes. We can chat about how to have all this goodness on a budget. There are natural ways to care for your health and clean your home on a very tight budget. When we are out in natural we feel peaceful, rested and refreshed. Nature is designed to bring harmony to the body as we are natural beings. Plants have properties that are imbued in the plants to bring about restoration and healing and since time began, way before the big box stores were invented, nature provided health and healing to those who used it. True health is a way of life. It may take a bit of time to create good eating habits, sleeping habits and using natural methods to address your health challenges, but it is so worth it. Let's chat if you do not know where to start. I would love to walk alongside you as you learn.
Before we get started on our Emergency oils list, One of the oils I want to highlight this month is Juniper. If you have not tried it, its a must have for your home. I actually have had this bottle for years and don't really need to use it often but when its needed, my kidneys love it.
I love having Juniper on hand for healthy gallbladder and liver function 
It helps the kidneys naturally filter more efficently and flush out bacteria Think UTI!
2-3 drops in a capsule daily is wonderful support. It has even more uses listed in the Essential Oil Desk Reference. Message me if you want the link to grab a copy! Its a must have in every home.
The juniper is the classic arid-land tree. Its twisting, often-dead branches seem to epitomize the struggle of life with little water. When moisture is scarce, a juniper will actually stop the flow of fluids to some outer branches so that the tree has a better chance for survival. Scale-covered leaves and bluish, waxy-coated seeds help the tree conserve moisture. Indigenous people have used the bark for torches and as a tobacco substitute, wove it for cloth, and shredded it as an antibacterial diaper material. Yikes!
Do you use dryer sheets?
Dryer sheets are bad for your health, linked to everything from respiratory irritation to hormone disruption and increased cancer risk.
The fragrances and VOCs released from dryer vents can irritate the eyes, throat, and lungs. Acetaldehyde and other compounds act as respiratory irritants. Fragrances contain potentially hazardous chemicals that can exacerbate asthma.
Studies show breathing in fragranced laundry product emissions can trigger headaches, especially in sensitive individuals. Exact mechanisms are unknown but are likely due to irritant effects and scent compounds.
Ingredients like quats and benzyl acetate can irritate and dry out sensitive skin with repeated direct contact. Fragrances also contain potential skin allergens
Certain chemicals found in fragrances have exhibited hormone or endocrine disrupting effects in laboratory studies, even at very low levels.
Compounds like benzene, chloroform, and acetaldehyde are known or suspected carcinogens that can be released from dryer vents or linger on clothes. Links between dryer sheets and cancer risk need further study.
To no only save money but to avoid all of the above effects of dryer sheets, here is a recipe for DIY dryer sheets! Easy to make and white vinegar has been used for decades to soften clothes. I have used it for years and as someone who hates the smell of vinegar, it DOES NOT make your clothes smell like vinegar but it does get them oh so soft without the harm of commercial dryer sheets.
Since the weather has been so oddly warm and the bugs and bees are already in full swing here in Wisconsin, Here is a great 
DIY Bug Repel
In a 4 oz spray bottle, add 10 drops each of citronella, lavender, and tea tree oil! Add a splash of unscented witch hazel, and top with water! No bad ingredients, chemicals, or deet, and I know exactly what's in it. That's a win in my book
Great for both you and your babies! Not only are these oils great to use for outdoor enjoyment without the bugs, they can also be used for tummy upset (Citronella- who knew) Sleep and seasonal irritations (Lavender) and fungal and bacterial issues (Tea Tree)! Have I said that essential oil are multi-taskers? I will keep repeating it, so you can hear it in the back!!!
Now to our list of go to oils for emergencies and their uses! All of our oils are multi-taskers so they do more than a multitude of things for the body so if you don't have one oil, there is always another oil that can do the same action.
My husband is currently recovering from eye surgery. As a family, we always use 5 drops each of Copaiba, Frankincense, Idaho Grand Fir and Clove in a capsule every 4 hours or as needed for after a surgery or major wound that needs pain meds. We ran out of Idaho Grand Fir so its easily replaced with Believe oil or Idaho Blue Spruce, or even Abundance or Transformation. I love how versatile our oils are.
Red Cedar Bliss - Its a new oil created by YL in 2020. This mixed with Rosemary in capsules 3x a day was the only thing that rid myself and my hubby of a pasty white slime that seem to be coming from our lungs last winter. It also supports a healthy heart. It worked quickly and effeciently.

T-Away - This is one of our oil from our Pet line but its great to use on people too. For $19.00, I have started to use it on my husbands back as part of the Raindrop when he is uncomfortable, not feeling well, or after a long day at work
