Day 39 Loving YL - Smelly dog help

Smelly dog help with Purification Essential oil by Young Living

Rainy day equals smelly dog! I don't have time to give him a bath and he'd just get dirty 5 seconds later in the wet grass. To take care of a smelly dog, I use my homemade doggy spray. I mix about 20 drops of Purification essential oil and witch hazel in a 2 oz bottle. I spray him down as needed.

Purification® can be used directly on the skin to cleanse and soothe insect bites, cuts, and scrapes. When diffused, it helps to purify and cleanse the air from environmental impurities including cigarette smoke and other disagreeable odors.

Purification is a blend of Citronella, lemongrass, rosemary, Melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia) lavandin and myrtle.

Valor is also called the "Chiropractor in a bottle". Needless to say, after my chiropractic adjustment today, I used my Valor essential oil blend. I rubbed a few drops on my spine to help hold the adjustment and help my alignment. Valor smells great as well.

Day 35 Loving YL - Ginger for Upset Stomach

Ginger Essential oil by Young Living for Upset Stomach

Today I woke up with an upset stomach. A sour stomach is pretty common for my sensitive stomach. I normally would sniff some peppermint essential oil, then drop a drop into my belly button. But today I use ginger instead. I don't really like the smell, so instead of my belly button, I just rub some on the bottom of my feet. You can also use DiGize, which has peppermint and ginger along with some other really good stomach soothing oils.

Ginger has a warm, spicy fragrance that is energizing. Supportive of the digestive system, ginger is commonly used to soothe, comfort, and balance digestive discomfort. It may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods.
