The “Tea Tree Lick”: Just put a drop of the oil on your little finger (the finger which is least likely to be rubbed in your eyes) and suck it off. Do this every 5-10 minutes until your sore throat is gone. This works best when done at the first sign of sore throat.
Tea Tree oil doesn't taste as bad as one would think, but if you are someone who can't stand the taste, try sticking your finger as far back in your mouth as possible where your taste buds are less sensitive to the taste. My 7 and 5 year old will ask for a "Tea Tree Lick" when they have a sore throat. If they can put up with the taste then so can you. :) It really works and is worth doing to avoid getting a severe sore throat or cough. Using E.O.B.B.D. certified Tea Tree Essential oil in a "Tea Tree Lick" is safe and without any unwanted, harmful side effects.
Note: Ingesting essential oils can be dangerous! Please, please, please ONLY use E.O.B.B.D certified essential oils in a "Tea Tree Lick". Other oils which do not have this certification can be adulterated with harmful fillers and can even be toxic. Most essential oils have a warning on the bottle not to ingest them. Only E.O.B.B.D certified Tea Tree oil is safe to be used in a "Tea Tree Lick".
All Ancient Legacy oils are E.O.B.B.D. certified, which is why they are the only essential oils I would trust or recommend using in the ways I described above. To read more about why E.O.B.B.D certification is so important, click here.
Adicted to Doctors
I've noticed that some people run to the doctor way too hastily...even for the littlest things. I think it is WAY over done by the majority of people and I noticed it mostly with parents of young children. Fear is what drives them there. Their child spikes a temp and off they run because they are unsure of how to help them. They rely on doctor visits and prescriptions when treating their children.
When I was sick as a child my mom would say: "Well, let's see! Your grandma used to do this..." Or "Your great-grandma always said that...!" And then she would get out whatever "old time" remedy would come to her and before I knew it I was better. It was very rare for her to drag me out of my warm bed to take me to a doctor's office full of germs.
The common belief is that one needs a synthetic drug to be relived of symptoms or to be cured - the "old remedies" do not work. Sadly, this belief can result in many complications. Drugs have unwanted side effects and reactions that can harm the body and sometimes even be deadly. Have you noticed TV commercials for synthetic drugs these days? The last part of the commercial in which they list all the possible side-effects takes longer to do than promoting the drug itself!
Don't get me wrong. Drugs do have their place and sometime are even life-saving, but for the most part you can take care of illnesses naturally. Our moms, grandmas, and great-grandmas were more knowledgeable in natural healing then our generation is today.
I've learned so much from Dr Wallach and the information that Youngevity has available to us to utilize. I no longer drag my 8 month old baby to the emergency room at 3 am just because he has a temp (yes, I did that with my first born...I was terrified - he was fine by the time I arrived at the ER!!!). I have become very confident in the natural remedies that I have learned about and use often. Now when my children are sick I'm able to stay calm and can asses the situation appropriately. I use the appropriate essential oils, supplements, and remedies, tuck them into their beds and before I know it all is well. The key is to know when a doctors visit is absolutely necessary. Most of the time, at least in my experience, a doctor is not needed.
And the ultimate cure? A cuddle from Mom!
Happy Mother's Day!
