As we get older many of us find that we are getting arthritis in different joints in the body. It can make anything you want to do more of a challenge. A simple walk in the park isn’t as pleasant as it once was. Thankfully there are a few things you can do to make life a little easier when dealing with the discomfort from arthritis pain. Young Living has several products that are very useful for various kinds of pain, including arthritis.

Along with the oils there are a couple important supplements you will want to consider for helping deal with arthritis. The two main supplements I am talking about are Sulferzyme and BLM.

Sulferzyme is a unique combination of Methyl Sulfonal Methane (MSM) and Lyceum Barbarum (Chinese Wolfberry) that together with ionic minerals create a bold new concept in reviving the immune
system, supporting almost every major body function, and forestalling an array of degenerative conditions.

MSM…gives your vitamins more punch

This is the most valuable fraction of the pain-relieving, body-boosting compound DMSO. Found in mother’s milk and many fruits and vegetables, MSM is a sulfur-carrying compound that magnifies the nutritional effect of vitamins and helps build the amino acids responsible for protien-building and muscle formation.

MSM is great for arthritis, bursitis and tendonitis.

MSM has the ability to equalize water pressure inside of the cells – a considerable benefit for those plagued with bursitis, arthritis, and tendonitis. These kinds of inflammatory outbreaks are created when the water pressure inside the cell jumps past the pressure outside the cell, creating pressure and pain. MSM acts as a sort of cellular safety valve, affecting the protein envelope of the cell so that water transfers freely in and out of the cell. The result: rapid relief and less damage to tissues. And because it elasticizes the hold between the cells, MSM can restore flexibility to inflamed tissues.

Young Living’s BLM supports normal bone and joint health. This formula combines powerful all-natural ingredients, such as type II collagen, MSM, glucosamine sulfate, and manganese citrate, enhanced with therapeutic-grade essential oils. These ingredients have been shown to support healthy cell function and encourage joint health and fluid movement.

With summer coming up we tend to get out and be more active with gardening, yard work, hiking, sports and other activities. That can also open the way for overdoing it and injuring ourselves. It’s times like that I am really appreciating the use of essential oils to ease the pain.

Here is a great recipe that came from Nancy Sanderson. Her explanation is below the graphic.

“This will help explain the use of Magic Relief. Great for bone, joint discomfort and tissue regeneration.

Magic Relief has been used for many things. I made it for myself when I tore the muscles and ligaments in my shoulder and was told that my hip joints were wearing out. My Grandmother had hip replacement surgery and she said if you don’t have to go through that, don’t. At night I could not lay on my sides as my hip would start aching and hurting clear down my leg.

Since I made the Magic Relief I no longer have had problems sleeping on my sides at night and this has been eight years since I made this blend and started using it. My shoulder had healed wrong because I didn’t go to a doctor until 6 months later. I could not lift my arm let alone carry
anything. I now have full use of my arm and can carry any amount of heavy objects.

This blend has been used to fill a hole in that had been eaten almost through by a virus in the of bone of a finger when antibiotic wouldn’t work. Stiff neck problems, arthritic, along with frankincense for cancer and chemo side effects. To death, making the passover peaceful and easing the pain of cancer.

When in doubt use it for anything, it is great!”

Every year about this time people start feeling like doing a little spring cleaning. Do you find yourself feeling motivated to freshen things up a bit after a long winter with the house closed up and the furnace or a wood burner running? There is something motivating about the spring. It makes you feel like getting out and doing things. I find myself wanting to give the house a good cleaning.

Most of the cleaning products on the market these days are full of toxic chemicals that are not at all good for your health. That is one thing I love about essential oils. They make such good cleaning solutions.

The Thieves oil blend and Thieves Household Cleaner are a good starting place for cleaning supplies. Thieves is a powerful germ killer. It also makes everything smell great.

Citrus Fresh has several citrus oils in it and is a good one to add to cleaning. It is a good one for diffusing.

Citrus oils are very mood uplifting. Spring cleaning and mood uplifting at the same time.
How can you go wrong?

Make a spray bottle of water with 15-25 drops of Citrus Fresh oil to kill germs in bathroom or on kitchen surfaces.

Use 1-2 drops of Citrus Fresh oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots or crayon.

Add Citrus Fresh oil to freshen and sanitize your dish sponge or cloth.

Add Citrus Fresh to the water in your vaporizer or humidifier to sweeten the air and combat germs.

Laundry smells fantastic when Citrus Fresh is added to the wash water.

Cleaning Floors
To clean hard floors, add l/4 cup of white vinegar to a bucket of water. Then add 5- 10 drops of Citrus Fresh oil or Purification oil. If the floor is especially dirty, add several drops of dishwashing soap or Thieves Household Cleaner. This will clean even the dirtiest floor.

Furniture Polish
16 ounce spray bottle
Two teaspoons olive oil ( preferably the light kind)
15 drops of essential Citrus Fresh oil
1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water
How to use:
Spray formula on your rag or directly onto the furniture.
Wipe it dry immediately. The olive oil conditions and the
vinegar cleans. You can also squirt some on your dust
mop for your hardwood floors

Window Cleaner
1 quart spray bottle
White Vinegar
10-15 drops of Citrus Fresh Essential Oil
Fill bottle half way with vinegar
Fill balance of bottle with water and essential oil.
Shake & Use

Once you finish your spring cleaning, why not have a cup of tea with a couple drops of Citrus Fresh in it. It’s Oh So Tasty. ; )
