Deep Relief Roll-On vs Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream

Kathy

Got pain? I think we all do at some point. One thing that I find helpful for pain relief is Young Living’s Deep Relief Roll-On which is a blend of peppermint, wintergreen, dorado azul, and helichrysum essential oils in a convenient roll-on. This blend of popular oils is a great companion for your trips to the gym and busy daily routine. I use it for headaches, and knee and hip pain before and after a long beach walk. I love the cooling sensation and invigorating scent of peppermint and wintergreen essential oils. The roll-on packaging makes it easy to quickly apply Deep Relief when needed. I keep one with me in my purse at all times so I have it handy at work, home, and outdoors.

Here’s a little video I made about Deep Relief

If you’d like to hear a bit about the science of this blend, listen to what Lindsey Elmore says about the Deep Relief Roll-on.

A similar but different product I use is Young Living’s Cool Azul™ Pain Relief Cream. It provides cooling relief from minor muscle and joint aches, arthritis, strains, backache, bruises, and sprains. I’ve rubbed it on my hands for joint pain, on my hip, lower back, and spine, and on my knee as well. This plant-based formula combines the power of Wintergreen essential oil with our exclusive Cool Azul essential oil blend. With two powerful, synergistic active ingredients, this cream provides pain-relieving benefits in two ways: methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints, and natural menthol found in Peppermint provides a cooling effect. If you need relief without synthetic ingredients, Young Living’s Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream is the answer! I keep this at home and take it on vacation because I don’t want to be without it.

Cool Azul is a great replacement for a traditional pain cream. Switch and Ditch! I did.

Check out Lindsey Elmore’s Cool Azul video to learn more about the science behind Cool Azul.

Keyboarding

Another Happy Keyboarding Student

Kathy

Just got this nice review from one of Keyboarding students…

I am sending warmest thanks to you Kathy and all the students in this class. I had such a great time learning and attending this class. I have made up my mind that I will be signing up for more classes in the future. I have learned so much in this class about keyboarding. I am grateful; for this is a class I been meaning to take years ago, but life happen and I just did what I had to do when it came to typing. Knowing and understanding the skillset will make my life so much easier. I just hope I don’t result back to my old ways of typing which; I might add served me well. I type fast that way; but, to type without looking and hold a conversation with someone is where I am today and it’s all because of this class. Ms. Kathy, from the bottom of my heart to the top of my head, I just wanted to sincerely tell you how much you are appreciated. Thank You so much for you helpful feedback and instruction. Most of all for taking the time to host this class you are needed.

How do you know which CBD products to trust?

Kathy

If you want positive results with CBD, finding a pure and effective product is key!

I’ve learned that this might not be as easy as you think.

Now that CBD is legal in all 50 states, the number of companies selling it is growing exponentially. If you’re just starting your CBD journey it can be a little overwhelming with the number of options out there.

Finding a trustworthy source becomes a challenge. Many sellers have been shut down by the FDA for making false claims as to the contents of their CBD oils, such as some were found to contain less CBD than stated and some even contained toxins!!

CBD has proven to aid many physical and mental health issues, so it is worth using. And we also know that CBD is safe to use.

That being said, now more than ever you need to be careful where you purchase yours.

First, you need purity that you can validate!

You want to choose a CBD oil that’s made with the highest quality ingredients and comes only from a highly reputable source. Read the rest of my article here...

Women’s Health Bundle

Kathy

This course combines Perinatal Issues, Violence Prevention and Awareness, and Women’s Health Issues as you learn about the well-being of women, women’s rights, and empowerment.

Image of women

Certificate in Perinatal Issues:

The Certificate in Perinatal Issues is a multidisciplinary educational experience designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of individuals who provide care and support for childbearing women, newborns, and families. The demand for knowledgeable providers to meet the needs of this population is dramatically increasing; new jobs are being developed and new services created. Health professionals who work with this population will need continuing professional education to gain a broad understanding of this specialized area of care and to stay current with emerging trends.

Certificate in Violence Prevention and Awareness:

Every year across the globe, millions of individuals are affected by violence. Healthcare professionals are a first line of defense in recognizing the signs of violence and supporting violence prevention. In this certificate program, you’ll examine the various instances of violence that you may encounter in your work as a medical professional, including workplace violence, domestic violence, elder and child abuse, and pediatric abusive head trauma (also known as “shaken baby syndrome”). By the end of this course, you’ll have the information you need to respond to and help prevent these forms of violence.

Certificate in Women’s Health Issues:

Women represent over half of the global population. While women have a longer life expectancy than men in most every country, they don’t necessarily get to enjoy healthier lives. Millions of women suffer from health issues each year throughout the world—health issues that would not affect them if they were men. Women and their health issues have traditionally been neglected both nationally and globally. When women’s health concerns, women’s rights, and empowerment are made a priority, the result is immense improvements in the health and well-being of women and their children on a global scale.

Ten essential oil DIYs for healthy hair

Kathy

From styling tools to monthly dye jobs, our hair takes a beating. If your locks are starting to look a little frazzled, there’s no need to get your hair in a knot. Use essential oils for hair to add shine and bounce to your locks, so you can have the gorgeous, healthy hair of your dreams! All you need for envy-worthy tresses are items you already have around the house, including essential oils, carrier oils, water, and a couple of other tools and ingredients.

What are you waiting for? Gather your supplies and try these hair DIYs to tame, moisturize, and clarify your mane.

DIY dry hair spritz

First up is our easy-peasy recipe for dry hair repair. If your hair is dull or naturally dry, spritz this treatment all over to lock in moisture without adding grease. Use this spray before blow-drying and styling to boost shine, after you style to finish your do, or throughout the day to control frizz and unruly flyaways.

The essential oils in this mix boost shine and nourish your hair, while jojoba and V-6™ penetrate locks for lasting and non-greasy healing moisture.

What you need:

How to make it:

  1. Add all ingredients to a 12-ounce glass spray bottle.
  2. Shake well before spritzing over wet hair, avoiding the roots. Or spray into your hands and rub over your hair to add moisture where you need it most.
  3. Dry and style hair as normal. If needed, lightly spritz hair after styling for extra shine.

Hot oil treatment

Sometimes your hair needs a little extra boost. Whether pool chemicals have sucked the life out of your locks or sunny weather has left you with an itchy scalp, give your hair a much-needed timeout. This way, you can help your moisture-starved and brittle ends with some love with this deep-conditioning treatment containing some of the best essential oils for hair.

What you need:

How to make it:

  1. Heat some water on the stove or in the microwave and pour into a large glass bowl.
  2. Put olive oil and sweet almond oil in a small jar, and place the jar in the bowl of hot water for 5-10 minutes until the oil is warm but not hot. Check the oil every 2 minutes until it is the right temperature. You should be able to put your finger in the oil comfortably.
    YL tip: Be careful not to overheat the oil, which can burn you. We call it a hot oil treatment, but it should really be warm oil.
  3. Add essential oils and mix well.
  4. Apply to hair from roots to ends, massaging into scalp and saturating ends for hydration where you need it most. Comb through to ensure even application.
  5. Cover with a shower cap and leave on for at least 20 minutes.
  6. Wash hair-if it’s extra oily, wash twice.

Apple cider vinegar rinse

Supplement the conditioning benefits of our hot oil treatment with our clarifying apple cider vinegar rinse. If built-up product has left you in a hairy situation, use this recipe to help untangle the mess. After you rinse away the excess weight from dead skin cells, pool chemicals, saltwater, shampoo, and conditioner, you’ll notice more bounce and volume to your hair.

In addition to helping you nail the perfect hair flip, our apple cider vinegar rinse also soothes the scalp and adds luster to your locks.

What you need:

YL tip: For dry hair, use 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar; for normal to oily hair, use 1/2 cup.

How to make it:

  1. Mix all ingredients together in the spray bottle.
  2. Spray mixture all over hair, focusing on the scalp and roots. Lift hair in sections to make sure you completely saturate your hair-your hair should be thoroughly damp, but not dripping.
  3. Massage into scalp with fingertips to stimulate the scalp and increase circulation.
  4. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Rinse, then shampoo and condition hair as normal.
  6. Use once per week.
