I started changing the way I think about my health long before Covid. Prior to my retirement, I was a Doula and assisted moms during delivery in addition to my assigned job. During the course of my training and afterward I started looking at ways I could apply the natural techniques to my own daily life.
The things I have learned involve reflexology, massage, tha chi, meditation and herbology. You don’t have to be certified in any of these to use them yourself.
I can tell you I no longer take vaccines because I got Bell’s Palsy from the last flu vaccine three years ago. Despite the fact that vaccine was ineffective I have not had so much as a sniffle since I had Covid mostly due to some common sense living.
I try to eat healthy but don’t always so I do take vitamins as a part of my daily regime. To ward off the common cold, flu and covid I take Vitamin D3 and C with Zinc. For added immune protection and to reduce the effects of arthritis I take Tummeric. Vinegar in any from can not only aid with weight loss but can also reduce the toxins in the body.
Recently with the winter weather I decided to take a step further by making my own skin cream with essential oils. At my age the wrinkles are not going to go away but the oils can reduce the dryness and improve the softness of the skin. Here’s a recipe you can try.
Using coconut oil as a base (roughly half a cup) add the following essential oils one at a time:
3 drops of Lime , 4 drops grapefruit, 5 drops pine needle, 2 Tbsp raw sugar. Mix well and massage into the skin (If you frequently have allergies do a test of each oil before continuing)
Disclaimer – I am not a physician or licensed practitioner. This is merely a statement of what works for me.
I can tell you I have friends who stay in the doctor’s office…I only go when it is necessary. Take steps now for better health. Research is easily available, do your own. Your body will thank you.
