What is prevention when you know you are going to get it

Many of us have hectic life and for whatever reason, there could a window of time - a few days that timing is just off. For example, a few nights ago, the airconditioner was giving problem. It was noisy and I did not get a good sleep. The next night, the air conditioner was turned too low and was blowing direct and again did not sleep well. By the third day, I was start to feeling drained and lethargic. You may feel your nose starting to act funny - starting to sniffle. Also tummy starting feel like congested. Once the timing is off, the body does funny things. I apply RC oil on my throat and chest straight away. I also apply peppermint oil on my tummy and cup to breathe in the nice clearing oil. Most important, I start taking Inner Defense capsule. Late in the afternoon, got ready for the usual tennis game. Oh no - bad weather. We play in the drizzle and also wet ground all the time. Before the game, I drink my usual Ningxia Red and also took another capsule of Inner Defense. After 2 hours in the slight drizzle and cool air, I still felt OK. I have already arranged to meet someone. By the time I got home it was close to 12 midnight. Did some work and went to bed at 2am. This is probably a common situation for many people eg. if they have to look for children or older folks middle of the night. They may not have good sleep. Doing this many nights can indeed weaken your immune system when the body clock is upset. This is a practical ways to help you stay healthy and keep your body immunity up. It is also cost effective and does not take much time.

Exam days-recover from sore throat quickly

Studying hard for exams can be tough if unwell. JT had sore throat and did not want condition to worsen. He took one capsule of Inner Defense and applied RC oil on his chest and throat. For added measures, he directed the Thieves Spray at his throat, applied peppermint oil and breathe in deeply to clear the nose. He drank a cup of water with drops of lemon oil. Before going to bed, gargle with Thieves Mouthwash. Voila - he got up in the morning refreshed and the sore throat gone. All ready for his exams.

Peppermint Essential Oil - A better choice

In early July, I heard on radio an american lady talked about taking herbal medicine versus pharmaceutical drugs. She highlighted cases that many americans take paracetamol (over here, we commonly called Panadol and the likes) excessively and resulted in liver poisoning

Of course we all heard before that we cannot consume paracetamol excessively. Out of curiosity I googled "poisoning from paracetamol" and found one such article from UK medical website.

Am I glad that I have a better alternative. Using the therapeutic grade Peppermint essential oil from Young Living. I am not advocating that people under supervised medication should not take paracetamol but for most of us who have conveniently taken the widely available panadol for the slightest thing, a healthy alternative is available - just a drop on your palm and spread the oil on the temple of the head; rub over the wrist; breathe in the vapor. You will feel so refreshed.


Some people are curious as to why YL therapeutic grade oils can be applied and can be ingested. You can see that the supplement facts on the 15ml bottle when you peel the label out. I have taken pictures. Items that can be ingested or eaten and FDA approved has the supplement facts. Due to size constraint, you may not see the supplement facts on 5ml bottles.
