Look & Feel Better: Renewal Detox

Look & Feel Better: Cleanse and Renew

DoTerra 15 Day Cleanse for Better Health

If you’re like most of us, it’s time to get started on wellness goals again (you know, the ones that you may or may not have begun on New Year’s?). Getting started is simple, and your body will thank you for it! It all begins with a good cleanse.

Why do I need to cleanse?
Dietary toxins can accumulate in your system and lead to a variety of health problems. A cleanse helps eliminate those dietary toxins. Detoxification assists in keeping things in balance and eliminating harmful bacteria like candida and other harmful yeasts. The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) is a vital organ in detoxifying.

Step 1: Cleanse–Begin by taking GX Assist (Days 1-10)
GX Assist is a proprietary blend of CPTG essential oils and caprylic acid that support a healthy digestive environment. It’s a GI cleansing formula that consists of essential oils studied for their effectiveness in detoxifying the GI tract: oregano, melaleuca, lemon, lemongrass, peppermint, and thyme essential oils. (start with one capsule and work your way up to 3 if you feel you can. Some people are able to have an effective cleanse with one – depending on how well your body responds to the oils)

What are the benefits of cleansing?
A cleanse will not only make you healthier, it will also lead to increased energy levels, rid the body of harmful toxins, and promote weight loss through the increased energy levels and stronger metabolism rate that will accompany it. Detoxification essentially enables a person and their body a fresh, new start.

Completing a cleanse using dōTERRA’s GX Assist provides your body with a fresh, new start. Now’s the time to maintain your body’s renewed and healthy environment with dōTERRA’s PB Assist .

Why do I need a probiotic?
Probiotics are microorganisms, similar to those found in the human body. They aid us in maintaining a natural balance within the digestive track. Probiotics are vital in reducing the growth of harmful bacteria, aiding the immune system, digestion, and the absorption of nutrients.

Step 2: Renew–take PB Assist (Days 10-15)
dōTERRA’s PB Assist is a potent blend of friendly probiotic microorganisms guaranteed to provide a minimum of 1 billion CFUs (colony-forming units) of live bacteria per dose. Delivered in a patented, time-release beadlet, shown in clinical studies to protect sensitive microflora from stomach acid for release in the intestine, PB Assist combines cutting-edge enteric-release technology with five proprietary strains of probiotic microorganisms that support healthy digestive functions and immunities. PB Assist is safe for use by all members of your family.

What are the benefits of a probiotic?
The word probiotic literally means “for life”. Adding a probiotic is a great way to maintain optimal core health. Probiotics promote healthy digestion, maintain regularity, support the immune system, provide proper nutrition, and return the body to optimal health.

When I use GX Assist, I avoid sugar and white flour (these things feed Candida, which I am trying to kill). Every time I cleanse, I pass a surprising amount of gunk; and I’m glad to be eliminating all those harmful toxins! It is important to drink 8-10 glasses of water each day during the 10-day cleanse.

Fibromyalgia : Essential Oil Support

Is Fibromyalgia an autoimmune disease?

Although some suggest fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disease many experts say that it is not.  Here is an opinion given by Anne Hillebrand (11/8/2006) on AllExperts.com.

“An autoimmune disease is one in which the immune system mistakes its own tissues for non-self tissue and makes an inappropriate attack. These diseases can affect the tissue which bind body tissues and organs together, nerves, muscles, endocrine system (system that directs your body’s hormones and other chemicals), and digestive system.

From all I can tell, Fibromyalgia is not a case of the body doing something it should not do.  It is a case of the body failing to do something it should do.   What it is failing to do is produce and control correct amounts of Hyaluronidase, an enzyme.  This enzyme should be determining the correct viscosity of a chemical called Hyaluronan (formerly called Hyaluronic Acid).

You think of this as the clear fluids throughout your body.  Saliva, vaginal lubrication, synovial fluid and yes, the clear fluids that are supposed to be keeping your eyes moist.  It is produced at the end of your arterial capillaries, should rinse, lubricate and feed all the cells and then pass into the lymphatic capillaries to be cleaned and returned. In Fibromyalgia, the clear fluid is not moving correctly. It is too thick and cannot leave the body tissue and go out through the lymphatic capillaries.”

doTERRA Essential Oil Users Have Found The Following To Assist In Fibromyalgia  Support:

An Editorial Summary:

Here is a summary of the experiences that others have had.  As with many health concerns fibromyalgia is best helped on multiple levels.  Experiences include help for pain, cleansing, strengthening the immune system, building nutritional balance, and emotional support.  Couple these with the possibility that many have used prescription medication and the transition or addition of oils may require patience to find a proper balance.

PAIN: Deep Blue, AromaTouch and other specific oils applied topically to specific points of discomfort.  Also using the AromaTouch Technique on a frequent and consistent basis.

CLEANSING: Both liver and Candida Cleanse are mentioned.  Most commonly mentioned is the Candida Cleanse attributed to Dr. Hill that includes the following blend:

·   5 drops of lemon

·   5 drops of melaleuca

·   3 drops on oregano

Put the oils into a gel cap and take internally twice a day for 10-14 days, rest two weeks and repeat the procedure.

Here is more detailed description of how to easily prepare this cleanse.  Purchase a 2 oz amber glass bottle with a dropper cap (available from Abundant Health online or similar suppliers).  Add into the 2 oz bottle full 15 ml bottles of lemon and melaleuca and about 2/3 of a 15 ml bottle of oregano.  Then daily fill a 00 size capsule (holds about 25-20 drops of oil) with this blend. Do not pre-make multiple days supplies of capsules since the capsules will dissolve.

DoTERRA has a product called called GX Assist which can be taken before and after a Candida cleanse.  GX Assist is formulated with therapeutic-grade oregano, melaleuca, lemon, lemongrass, peppermint, and thyme essentials oils that have been demonstrated to have in-vitro antimicrobial properties. GX Assist also includes caprylic acid that has been traditionally used as for its specific health-supporting properties in the gut.

STREGTHENING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM: A major component of the AromaTouch Technique mentioned previously is the application of essential oils and blends to assist in building strength in the body’s immune system.  Beyond this commonly recommended is the doTerra product, PB Assist (ProBiotics), designed to support healthy digestive functions and immunities.

NUTRITIONAL BALANCE: Almost everyone insists that using nutritional supplements such as doTerra Life Long Wellness pack is very helpful.  Additionally eliminate harmful foods and habits. (Avoid white flour, refined sugar & high sodium/processed foods)

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT: These types of health concerns can take an emotional toll on folks so using essential oils and blends to relieve stress, anger and/or to calm nerves is also very helpful. (Recommended Serenity, Balance or Elevation Blends)

To help with all of the above…

Do the following “Spine Therapy” 2x a week

First have coconut oil applied (olive oil can be substituted) down the length of your spine

Then, drop the following doTerra essential oils down the spine:

Starting with Oregano Oil, then Thyme, Basil, Wintergreen, Lemon, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Balance, Aroma Touch… and end with Peppermint

Hot compress for 15 mins, massage in

Oils, blends & products recommended:

Oils & Blends: DeepBlue, lemon, melaleuca, oregano. Serenity

Essential oils based products: Life Long Vitality supplements

Also consider: AromaTouch technique, basil, helichrysum, lavender, marjoram, peppermint, wild orange

Experiences and Testimonials of others:

Pat – I have seen great success using essential oils for Fibromyalgia. The main one that should assist in this condition is the Candida Cleanse. Dr. Hill stated that auto immune disease’s can be helped by taking the following blend:

·   5 drops of lemon

·   5 drops of melaleuca

·   3 drops on oregano

Put into a gel cap and take internally once a day for thirty days, rest two weeks and repeat the procedure. Also go on the Life Long Wellness pack and be prepared for some wonderful changes. The PB Assist will also help to build your immune system.

Nicole – I have had several people start taking the Lifelong Wellness Pack that have Fibromyalgia and they have had great results. I would suggest also taking the supplements for sure!

Kathy – Because Fibromyalgia may be linked to a deficiency of trace minerals and natural supplements; I would get on the LW supplements right away.  Deep Blue will help with pain issues as well as Aroma Touch – place wherever there is pain or discomfort.  You can add additional marjoram to enhance the analgesic benefits. A weekly, intense, stimulating, aligning massage to the spine has been effective for some folks with Fibromyalgia.  Consider for oils Balance and Elevation for aligning and depression.

If you suffer from Fibromyalgia, I encourage you to try the essential oil support listed above, its well worth it.

Overview Of Uses of Essential Oils

Essential oils are used for a very wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used a single oil at a time or in complex blends depending on user experience and desired benefit. Essential oils are usually administered by one of three methods: diffused aromatically, applied topically, or taken internally as dietary supplements.

Aromatic Uses

Our sense of smell influences many physiological pathways including the stimulation of hormones and other metabolic processes. Aromatherapy is founded on the body’s predictable response to specific olfactory stimuli. Essential oils are widely used in aromatherapy applications. Certain essential oils, when diffused in the air, can be very stimulating while others can be calming and soothing. Beyond emotional benefits, diffusing essential oils can purify air of unwanted odors and some airborne pathogens. Low or no-heat essential oil diffusers are recommended as they do not change the chemical structure of the oil being diffused. Essential oils can also be used as cleansing and purifying additives to laundry and surface cleaners throughout the home.

Topical Uses

Due to their natural molecular composition, essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically. Application of essential oils can have immediate, localized benefit to the target area of application. They have restorative and calming properties and can be used effectively with massage and beauty therapy. They are also natural disinfectants. The chemical structure of essential oils also allows them to be absorbed into the bloodstream via the skin for internal benefit throughout the body.

Internal Uses

Essential oils can also be used as dietary supplements supporting a variety of healthy conditions. Some essential oils have powerful antioxidant properties while others help support healthy inflammatory response in cells. Many essential oils are generally regarded as being safe for dietary use, but some oils should not be taken internally. Do not use any essential oil product internally that does not have the appropriate dietary supplement facts on its label.

Using essential oils can be both profoundly simple and life changing at the same time. Working with someone who has used essential oils before will help first-time users have a more beneficial and enjoyable experience. A large amount of information is readily available for those desiring to increase their knowledge of essential oil applications.

(Be sure to use only 100% pure therapeutic-grade essential oils and follow all label warnings and instructions. Essential oils should not be used in the eyes, inside the ear canal, or in open wounds. If redness or irritation occurs when using essential oils topically, simply apply any vegetable oils such as fractionated coconut oil or olive oil to the affected area. Consult your physician before using essential oils if you are pregnant or under a doctor’s care.)
