Stop Sinus Problems Before They Start

Fall is a time of year when sinus-y stuff starts to happen.

Many people attribute sinus problems to the spring, but fall is also a major time of difficulty for sinus sufferers.
Here are some reasons why:

  • Mold produced by leaf decay 
  • Potent weed allergens 
  • Decay from bug death 
  • Heating systems coming on
  • Less fresh air in households 
  • Cooler weather makes us crave sweets and carbs (eating them can affect our sinuses too)

It is true that our external environment has a huge role to play in attributing to sinus problems, but our internal environment (inside our bodies)has more of an influence on sinus conditions than the outside of our body.

If our internal environment is in “good shape”, then it can help combat what we are exposed to externally.

What constitutes “good shape”?

  • Balanced ecology in the gut (decent population of good bacteria with little yeast overgrowth)
  • More alkaline and less acid (eating veggies and fruits and not sugar, caffeine, white flour)
  • Well hydrated
  • Well rested
  • Well oxygenated (daily exercise)
  • Well cleansed (bowels moving)

Why is balanced ecology in the gut such an important factor as it relates to sinus health?

The entire alimentary canal (the gastrointestinal system starting with the mouth and ending with the anus) is made up of mucous membrane. We often call the abdominal portion of the gastrointestinal system “the gut”.

When the gut has a good ecological terrain of balanced flora it can influence the other areas of the body that have the same mucous membrane tissue.

Think about where else mucous membrane is in the body:

Respiratory System

                                 

Urogenital System

  • Sinuses
  • Mouth
  • Nose
  • Windpipe and Lungs
 
  • Vagina
  • Urethra
  • Urinary Bladder
 

These areas are often affected by candida or yeast overgrowth, which can lead to symptoms which are often called ‘infections’ (many times they are infections, but many times they are just an overgrowth of yeast).

In the years of my practice, I saw many people with sinus conditions. This condition was often accompanied by other problems in the body – such as allergies, skin disorders, frequent headaches, depression, stomach problems, and colon issues to name a few.

Many of these people loved and often ate these foods:

  • Cheeses, especially aged 
  •  Wine 
  •  Sugar 
  •  Mushrooms 
  •  Bread made with yeast 
  •  Food with preservatives (packaged food) 
  •  Cakes, pastries, cookies 
  •  Pizza 
  •  Acid forming beverages: coffee, tea, soda

And very often these folks were constipated.

Along with eating an balanced alkaline diet, here are two very effective ways to deal with sinus issues:

  • Colon cleansing

Cleansing the colon can keep the overgrowth of candida at bay. Sinus conditions clear up when the colon is clear.

As a former Wellness Center owner, I used to observe that when people had colonics with good results, they almost always simultaneously experienced sinus drainage. Any sinus congestion they had before their cleansing often disappeared with the good results of the cleanse.

Nutritional products that you can use at home for cleansing, and even foods that help cleanse the body, can offer the same results as it relates to sinuses.

  • Using therapeutic grade essential oils 

This is a no brainer. If you understand how therapeutic essential oils create an environment where overgrowth or imbalance of micro-organisms can NOT take place – in other words the overgrowth of yeast, fungus, and any pathogenic organisms will not occur, then you can see why using these for sinus problems can be very helpful.

Many microbes, especially the ones that don’t serve us, love to hang out in dark moist environments – and that is exactly what our sinus cavities are (note how they are called ‘cavities’) -a dark moist environment.

Inhalation, diffusing, and even taking essential oils internally can be extremely helpful for sinus sufferers. If you want to take them internally, make sure the label has “Supplemental Facts” on it (overseen by the FDA) – this way you know you can them take internally. You may be hard pressed to find that on labels in essential oils, but you will find it in Young Living oils – that is one of the many reasons I love Young Living. -  Marilee Tolen, RN

Great Resource for Bodyworkers


Anyone who is a body-worker and many who just want to understand the muscles and the pains in their bodies-  particularly if they have been recommended for a surgery due to motion restrictions…. needs to do some research first.  Sometimes doctors like to cut on carpal tunnel, elbow, finger, toes and knees when some muscle work is what is really in order.   

Drugs for headaches are another arena where a little research may just save your liver from the residual effects of pain relievers, anti anxiety meds etc.

TMJ disorder is another issue where everything from Botox injections to surgury are reccommended by some western medical practitioners and dentists.  There are actually many muscles that can lead to the TMJ disorder and massage and the essential oils can help with that! 

This book is a great resource for how the muscles are strung together to the bones, how to find them to locate each end and it gives the pain referral patters as well as recommended stretches.  For $60 it is well worth it to investigate a bit before subjecting self or loved ones to the knife or to many drug therapies.

Massage-  it is often the last thing we turn to but should be one of the first. 

There was once a great healer who healed many using his hands and annointing with essential oils!  He told us we can to!

Bed Bugs and Yuckies? We got the answer!

A bit of information that you might like to know about —an entomologist (insect expert), has been telling people that there is an epidemic of bed bugs now occurring in America. 

Recently I have heard on the news that several stores in NYC have had to close due to bed bug problems, as well as a complete mall in New Jersey.  He says that since much of our clothing, sheets, towels, etc. now comes from companies outside  of America, (sad but true), even the most expensive stores sell foreign clothing from China, Indonesia, etc.   The bed bugs are coming in on the clothing as these countries do not consider them a problem.   He recommends that if you buy any new clothing, even underwear and socks, sheets, towels, etc. that you bring them into the house and put them in your clothes dryer for at least 20 minutes.  The heat will kill them and their eggs.  DO NOT JUST HANG NEWLY PURCHASED CLOTHES IN YOUR CLOSET!   You should hang them in an area where you are diffusing therapeutic quality essential oils– or place them in the dryer along with a sachet of essential oils or a cloth with oils on it.  It does not matter what the price range is of the clothing, or if the outfit comes from the most expensive store known in the U.S.   They still get shipments from these countries and the bugs can come in a box of scarves or anything else for that matter.   That is the reason why so many stores, many of them clothing stores have had to shut it down in NYC and other places.  All you need is to bring one item into the house that has bugs or eggs and you will go to hell and back trying to get rid of them.   He travels all over the country as an advisor to many of these stores, as prevention and after they have the problem.

Don’t Let the BedBugs Bite…

Enlarged photo of the bed bug's head

Enlarged Photo of Bed Bug's Head- showing biting parts.

As if you needed something else to worry about, bedbugs, those pests from the old bedtime rhyme are making a comeback. More of a nuisance than a health hazard, they’re showing up to suck blood from people in hotels, college dorms, and hospitals. Take an informative look at bedbugs: what they are, where they lurk, and how to spot them before they get you.


The bug is the spot on the right, enlarged is to the left.

Know the Enemy

Bedbugs are small, flat, wingless insects with six legs that, like mosquitoes, feed on blood from animals or people. They range in color from almost white to brown, but they turn rusty red after feeding. The common bedbug doesn’t grow much longer than 0.2 inches (0.5 centimeters) and can be seen by the naked eye to the astute observer.  Bedbugs get their name because they like to hide in bedding and mattresses.
During hotel stays, keep luggage off the floor and zipped

Am I at Risk for Infestation?

Bedbugs are most often found in hotels, hostels, shelters, and apartment complexes where lots of people come and go. Because bedbugs hide in small crevices, they can hitch a ride into your home on luggage, pets, furniture, clothing, boxes, and other objects. Bedbugs are found worldwide, but are most common in developing countries. Once rare in North America, they may be on the rise due, in part, to increases in international travel. This is when you will want to use your Thieves Spray and Purification Bed bugs feed while you sleeping with peak activity just before dawn. 


May be present in Hotels, imported fabrics; they like wood and love your blood!Bed Bugs "Tight" in the corners of the mattress edging.

Feeding Habits

These nocturnal creatures can hide in beds, floors, furniture, wood, and paper trash during the day. We humans usually become their dinner during the night, with peak biting activity just before dawn.They can obtain their meal in as little as three minutes, after which they are engorged and drop off the host, then crawl into a hiding place to digest their meal. Bedbugs can live for 10 months, and can go weeks without feeding.     To stop the itching use Tranquil , lavender, Purification
Bed bugs leaves red itchy bites on the skin often in rows

Bites may appear in rows.

Bed Bug Feeding- Like Sleeping with a Vampire.Bites may appear in rows.


Amazingly, these sneaky little bloodsuckers dine on you without waking you. You don’t feel their stealthy bite because they inject a numbing agent into your body, along with an anticoagulant to keep your blood flowing as they suck. The first sign of bedbugs may be itchy, red bites on the skin, usually on the arms or shoulders. Bedbugs tend to leave straight rows of bites.   Scratching bites can lead to infection.

Thieves Spray, hand sanitizer and cleanser as well as household cleaner can help keep your family healthy during flu season as well.

Treating Bites

Bedbug bites do not usually require treatment. If a secondary infection occurs (usually from scratching), apply Rose Ointment adding an extra drop of Melrose in a dab or Thieves oil and apply Thieves oil around the infection if open not direct into the sore. Take Thieves in a capsule.  In these more severe cases, you may need to see your doctor. 

Do Bedbugs Transmit Diseases?

Bedbugs are more of a nuisance than a health hazard. In a recent study, researchers reviewed 53 recent studies on bedbugs and their health and medical effects. The results showed that although bedbugs have been blamed for the spread of up to 40 different human diseases, there is little evidence to suggest they are carriers of human disease.
 

Bedbug or Imposter?

Don’t assume your bites are bedbugs. Bites can be hard to identify, even for doctors. Rule out mosquitoes, fleas, mites, and biting gnats by conducting a visual inspection. It’s best to collect and identify bedbugs to confirm bites. Look for the bugs themselves or their bloodstains, especially along the seams of mattresses. Further, look for dark spots of insect waste where bedbugs might crawl into hiding places on furniture, walls, and floors.   wash clothing and bedding in hot water and then again hot water that will not burn finger and added 1 cap full Thieves Cleaner and 6 drops of purification.  Then dry on hot.

Bite Back Against Bedbugs

Get rid of infested mattresses and box springs or cover them with a plastic mattress bag to trap the bugs. Wash clothes and bedding in hot water, and dry on high heat. Clean furniture and vacuum cracks in wood floors and doors where bugs may hide. Shake out suitcases. Use your thieves spray and thieves cleaner the cracks of floors or bed frames.  The oils are great for YOU but the bugs do not like them.

Bed Bug Essential Oils Formula

10 drop Palo Santo  
6 drops Eu7calyptus Blue 
5 drops Ceadarwood.
Put into a bottle as listed and mix then add 4 oz distilled water and spray.

Mattress Sachets: To go after nesting eggs combine corn starch, or baking soda in cotton homemade
tea bag looking containers and add the formula above and place under mattress.

Diffuse: Purification, Palo Santo, and Eucalyptus Blue in the room

Don’t forget to spray the mattress when changing the sheets with Thieves Spray.
Your Travel diffuser is great to take with you when traveling e specially in hotel and  Motel rooms also great for purifying the air (Purification and Thieves).

Nova Vita Center in Equador

Here is a note from Mary about the Nova Vita Center in Equador— This center is NOT associated with Young Living and appointments must be made through the center-  Phone number for the center is given in the message below:

Great News from the NovaVita Research Center in Ecuador

Hello and greetings to all our Young Living family and friends. As you know, Gary and I have been in a whirlwind of activity, research, and travel since convention. I am happy to let you know that things are finally settling down a bit and we are now able to put more focus on some of our work with the NovaVita Research Center.

You should know that as of September 1, 2010, the center is now accepting foreign patients. Because of so much travel and other business commitments, they have not been able to accommodate all those who have wanted to come. But now, everything is back to normal and patients are being received from around the world.

Although Young Living is not associated with NovaVita, we continually receive calls requesting information. The NovaVita Research Center provides diagnostics, counseling, and programs that help participants regain a healthy lifestyle. Many of you may be interested in their new Two-Week Tune-Up Program.

We have received numerous calls about frankincense injections about which we have no information. However, NovaVita is planning to hold a seminar the end of October and will be accepting patients who would like to have this procedure performed and for doctors who would like to learn how to perform this procedure. More detailed information will be coming.

If you have any interest, please contact the center directly at novavitaresearchcenter@ hotmail.com or call: 011- 593-4-288-3460. Young Living is unable to provide any further information, so all inquires must go directly to NovaVita.

Again, our love and best wishes to all of you who are sharing Gary’s vision of wellness, purpose, and abundance. We look forward to seeing many of you at the Dallas Raindrop class and hope to see all of you again at one of the upcoming events in 2011. I know that the Executives are planning some exciting programs and training.

All our best,

Mary and Gary
