Sinus Bombs

Like most moms, I tend to pour all of my energy (and resources) into making sure my children are taken care of FIRST! This selfless act alot of times leaves us (the mothers) with extremely overworked, under treated immune systems. I rarely get sick, but when I do, I need it to be over with FAST! I'm one of those types that can't stand to get behind on things too much or I'll go crazy! This past weekend, the last several months decided to catch up with me. It started out with a hoarse voice and sore throat. Usually, our go to preventative is OREGANO!

Oregano is a great all-in-one! It's antibacterial, anti fungal, and a natural antibiotic so you can know that whatever is coming on (be it a cold, flu, or something else) you are targeting all aspects! That being said, after just 2 "shots" my symptoms subsided. I felt like whatever was causing my sore throat and hoarse voice was gone now so I decided I didn't need to take anymore. UH-UH! You know how you're usually always told by medical professionals to finish a prescription even after you are feeling better or symptoms have gone away? It's the same with natural medicine too. Always best to continue using them for another day or two after the fact. 

So now, on to day 2. No more sore throat, but whatever started there worked it's way up to my nose! Stuffy nose and then later a sinus headache. I concluded that a sinus infection is probably what we were dealing with. So I began taking the SINUS BOMBS! In a gell capsule (like these) combine the following essential oils:

3 drops of Oregano

3 drops of OnGuard

3 drops of Rosemary

2 drops of Frankincense

2 drops of Myrrh

Oregano: Aside from being antibacterial, anti fungal, and a natural antibiotic, it is also believed to be one of Nature's most antiseptic oils. 

OnGuard: A blend including Cinnamon, Clove, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, and Wild Orange. It is known as the "Protective Blend" as it fights off environmental threats and air born pathogens. 

Rosemary: Not just great for cooking, but great for boosting the immune system as well. It is highly antioxidant!

Frankincense: Anti fungal, anti-inflammatory, and aids in cellular regeneration. It also helps to calm the body of stress at the same time as stimulating your immune system to fight sickness. 

Myrrh: Another natural antibiotic, Myrrh also has decongestant and expectorant properties. It is a good sedative to help you get rest while your body naturally defends itself the way it was designed to. 

Taking the capsules as needed (about every 4 hours), the next afternoon there was great improvement! The sinus pressure headache was gone, nasal passages nearly clear, and body aches subsided from where it had produced a fever during the night. 

I learned my lesson from before, and I will be continuing to take these Sinus Bombs for the next day or so (1-3 times a day) to make sure I'm completely in the clear!

LOVE THOSE OILS!

Update: By noon, on Day 3, I was completely back to myself! No sinus issues whatsoever! Praise YHWH!
