How would you like to drop inches in less than a month? How would you like to do it without dieting? This recipe and protocol was created by Tiffany Rowan of PetrochemicalWeightloss.com. You'll need 3 bottles of Citrus Fresh - one for each week (which will cover hips and stomach - to cover thighs and arms too then account for 2 bottles per week for 3 weeks).

The information provided below I took from a webinar I was on last night about essential oils and weight loss.  I thought it was worth sharing. DEALING WITH OUR TOXIN-FILLED WORLD Did you know that Americans now spend between 80-90% of their time inside, and that the average American home contains over 63 hazardous products?  From antiperspirants to perfumes to “air fresheners”, we have been unknowingly ingesting tons of chemical compounds that our body is unequipped to deal with. And we trust it bc it’s sold at the store. In recent years we have seen a dramatic rise in birth defects, infertility, asthma, ADD, Alzheimer’s disease, and countless other illnesses and conditions. We breathe in chemical vapors from our household cleaners, we absorb chemicals into our skin as we shower and brush our teeth. Check your toothpaste! If it says to call poison control for swallowing, that’s not a good sign! Seventy-five percent of American homes use synthetic air fresheners th...

Using Young Living Essential Oils The following how-to-use essential oils guide will show you how to experience their health-enhancing benefits:  Inhalation Inhaling essential oils heightens the senses and can trigger numerous desired responses in the body. Follow these guidelines when using essential oils for inhalation: Inhale directly—simply smell them. Diffuse the oils using a diffuser,  which disperses the oil in a micro-fine vapor into the air. The diffuser will not heat the oils, thus ensuring full benefits, as extreme heat can damage important constituents in the oil. Use with a humidifier. Put a tissue or small cloth, sprinkled with a few drops of oil, in front of the escaping steam. (Do not put essential oil in your humidifier. It will float on top of the water instead of rising with the water vapor and may cause damage to your humidifier.) Carefully pour hot water into a bowl and add a few drops of essential oil. Cover your head and bowl ...

Homemade Playdough with Essential Oils: [makes red + white dough] You will need: + 2 cups flour + 1 cup salt (I used kosher sea salt) + 2 cups water + 2 T oil + 4 t cream of tartar + Canned beets + Essentials Oils Put all of these ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir constantly until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the pan (about 10 min) . Divide the dough in half and put in two bowls. For the "red" dough take the juice from a can of beets and slowly work it into the dough. I used about 3 T at a time and kept working it in until the desired color was achieved. I then added 4 drops of Peppermint essential oil and worked that in. Make sure to work in well before little ones play with it. For the "white" dough I added 4 drops of Christmas Spirit. You could also use Thieves oil. Both smell incredible and support the immune + respiratory systems.

Below is some information that I took from an article that was published in the Atlantic Magazine.  It gives much needed credibility to the use of essential oils.  Although the article is mainly about using essential oils on farm animals, I think that it is worth reading.  Most research is first conducted on animals before going to human subjects.  We need to fund more research on essential oils.  I'll look into this.  I think there is a place out there that is doing this. Research investigating the use of essential oils in humans has produced encouraging results, but such studies have been small and surprisingly rare, especially given the demonstrated success of their use in livestock. An Italian study found that a combination of thyme and clove essential oils was just as effective in treating bacterial vaginosis as the usual antibiotic treatment, and results of a study by U.S. researchers show that staph-infected wounds healed faster when they we...
