Hello there! These past two weeks have been a struggle. Yep, it happens.
I KNEW these awful symptoms would hit, I just didn't know when or how bad. I was getting migraines that started with a stiff neck, along with major dizziness and confusion, AND hot flashes. So as a homeschooling mom of two, I had to figure out something to get me off the couch/bed and back to schooling.
I tried a few things over the course of about 3 days, but they were only occasionally working. I knew I needed a chiropractic adjustment and a ZYTO scan to help figure out what essential oils/supplements would help long-term, so I scheduled an appointment with my awesome chiropractor and wellness educator, Dr. Deb Kucharski. With my neck/back feeling better after Dr. Deb's gentle spinal adjustment, we started on the ZYTO scan. Via Dr. Deb "It helps pinpoint exactly what you need to bring you back in balance. I use it in conjunction with chiropractic assessment, and it's right on
every time! When the family's under the weather, a Zyto scan gives us great direction as to what's going on. It's another great tool in the family's medicine chest." More info on a Zyto scan here.
The scan showed that I was having some respiratory issues (yep, my throat was sore from drainage), had emotional chaos (uh-huh), needed liver support/detox, and a few other things. So, I'm thinking there's not much listed for hormones...but WAIT. Dr. Deb reminded me that the Liver provides key functions for our hormone health. This blog has a very good explanation of our liver's role in balancing hormones. My liver needed support to do its jobs, essential oils to the rescue!!!This little bottle of JuvaFlex has helped tremendously! I apply 2 drops directly over my liver as needed and life has returned to normal. Dr. Deb also recommended a healthy diet including dark leafy greens and beets for additional liver support. Here is a great juicing recipe for beet juice. Along with my JuvaFlex, I have also included large bowls of leafy greens in my daily diet :)
There are various other essential oils to help support hormonal balance, below are a few to check out. I use SclarEssence daily and the Pro+ as needed. These oils have been a blessing to me! Instead of popping pills that have harmful side-effects, I'm all oiled up and happy. If you are looking for more information about these particular oils for hormonal balance, Dr. Deb has a great educational class called 'Happy Hormones' she teaches on occasion. Please see her FaceBook page or contact her via email for more details on dates/times.

How do I fit these superior quality, pricey oils into our budget? I became a Young Living wholesale member so we save 24% on all Young Living products! Another way to save as a wholesale member is Essential Rewards, for a $50 monthly order you earn points to redeem for FREE products. I recently redeemed mine for the SclarEssence I use daily. In order to become a wholesale member, you must buy a starter kit....kinda like a Sam's Club membership. Check out all the details here. I highly recommend the Premium Starter Kit, it's a super great deal! You get lots of helpful oils + diffuser + wholesale membership.
Blessings to you and a healthy, happy future,
April
