a diet that works

Last time I was at the grocery store the clerk insisted I buy two large containers of oatmeal.  Said she, “I will go get you another one, quick or old fashioned? It’s good for you.” That kind of customer service I like.  I got the old-fashioned. So now I have more oatmeal than I want to eat in many moons. I shall use some as one of the elements of a soothing facial & some in my awesomely microabrasive handmade soap. 500 plus easy economical  and effective recipes for beauty treatments in an ebook await you….Only $15, through paypal to jilljjam@yahoo.com

and that’s less than a dinner out plus it’s like the woman said “good for you.”

I’d like to share the story of why I decided to start a business doing natural cleaning with essential oils. About 10 years ago, my Mom was on her way to Malaysia to do some volunteer work for her church. On the plane she fell into a coma and the plane had to land in Japan for her to be hospitalized. She had, without anyone’s knowledge, come down with spinal meningitis. Meningitis is an infection of the fluid of a person’s spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds the brain. People sometimes refer to it as spinal meningitis. Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Knowing whether meningitis is caused by a virus or bacterium is important because the severity of illness and the treatment differ. Viral meningitis is generally less severe and resolves without specific treatment, while bacterial meningitis can be quite severe and may result in brain damage, hearing loss, or learning disability. In her case, a very near fatal coma. We thought we had lost her, and in a country so far away from Mid-Minnesota. As fate would have it, Japan was to be the best place for her recovery. In Japan they employed the use of natural cleansers such as lemon juice and prescribed green tea and yogurt as important parts of her recovery diet. I personally believe she would not have made it had it not been for the Japanese methods. At the same time back here at home I went on a long search for things that would help her once she finally got home, and my prayers were answered when I was introduced to the properties of essential oils. Now the gist of essential oils is that they are highly concentrated versions of what Mother Nature does best. These oils are (dependent on the type of oil) containers of one or often more of the following: anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-spasmotic, antiseptic, and other healing properties which when inhaled or applied to skin get deep into the body to work their wonders.If you want to see how essential oils of plants in general are absorbed by the system just try this simple test: rub a clove of garlic on the bottom of your foot; a few hours later ask a friend you can trust how your breath smells. Essential oils are often used on the feet since the feet have the more direct routes to nerves and vessels to which one would want to get the healthy stuff. I want to say here I personally believe they work better than pharmaceuticals especially as a preventative medicine, but one should always do their own research (There are of course specific do’s and don’t to skin application so I will be offering lessons soon on application of these oils, and you can sign up by emailing me). Overall use a balance of good eating, exercise, healthy thoughts, and doctors. Now why in house cleaning would I use these expensive oils you ask? Well my dears, for one they smell delightful! Two, I can’t stand choking on chemicals on the job. Thirdly, as I mentioned earlier, these oils are also absorbed to do their beneficial things by smelling them. Fourthly, I go forth adding oils to my natural cleaners to kill germs, fungus, and disinfect. How’s Mom? She’s a miracle and is fine.
