| Fighting Colds Naturally!
'Tis the season for colds, coughs and flus. With holdiay festivities just around the corner, the last place you want to be is home in bed feeling sick. While you are doing your holiday planning, also plan to build up your immune system with items that Mother Nature has to offer.
~When I was younger my mother would give me ginger ale and toast with cinnamon on it everytime I got sick. It turns out that she knew exactly what to do to help me get over my cold!
Ginger and cinnamon are full of antioxidants that inhibit bacteria growth and improve immune system health.
I guess mother does know best.
I love you Mom! |

| Winter Blessing
Now we will feel no rain
for each of us will be shelter for the other,
Now we will feel no cold for each of us will be warmth for the other,
Now there is no more loneliness for each of us will be companion to the other.
There is only one life before us and our seasons will be long and good.

Raindrop Technique
Healing Essential Oil Massage for Health, Relief of Back Pain and More
~Victoria Anisman-Reiner
When it comes to treating back pain - as well as knee pain, tight shoulder, and digestive system discomfort - it can be hard to find something that will bring the body's systems into alignment. One aid to solving these problems and more is a relatively new therapy call Raindrop Treatment, using essential oils that have been clinically tested to have antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Raindrop has helped bring relief to chronic pain sufferers and has been known to cause visible improvement in scolliosis.
Raindrop Technique
Raindrop was developed by D. Gary Young, founder of Young Living Essentials Oils, based on techniques taught to him by a Lakota medicine man named Wallace Black Elk. In Lakota Native American healing, healers sweep a feather upwards along the spine in imitation of the Northern Lights, which are revered for their healing energy.
9 essential oils are used in raindrop: 7 single oils and 2 therapeutic blends. A person receiving raindrop lays face down as oils are dropped up their back from a height of 6 - 12 inches. The oils are gently massaged in with the Lakota "feathering" motion. After the essential oils have been applied, a towel soaked in hot water is applied to the back to drive the oils further into the body.
Vitaflex, a foot reflexology technique, is used to apply the same oils to the spines reflexology points at the beginning of the raindrop session
