Healing Sore or Damaged Muscles, Tissue & Bone

I tend to hold lots of tension in my trapezius, which are the muscles between the shoulders and neck.


If I do yoga regularly and am keeping those muscles stretched, I don’t have much problem.

But when I’m not doing yoga and I’m carrying a baby or heavy purse around a lot or spending hours at a time on the Read more…

Preparing Your Pregnancy Against Miscarriage

This is Emili, Jenni’s younger sister.  You might have read in one of my previous posts where I mentioned that my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.  After successfully having 3 more pregnancies and 3 more children, I recently became pregnant again late last year.  This time I had some complications and began spotting around 9 weeks.

To make a long story short, when I went in to get an ultra sound at 12 weeks, there was no heart beat and I lost the baby.  It was a very difficult experience for me, and I felt very alone, although blessed to have 3 beautiful children to hold on to as I grieved my loss.

The purpose of this post is to share some of the tips I picked up to help others avoid the same problem.  These are things Read more…

No More Neosporin: Tools For Infection & Healing

Neosporin is gone for good at our house. We don’t ever look back. My kids know our essential oils and ointment work so well, they’re begging for these whenever they get a scratch (which is about every 10 minutes).

Why would we want a natural alternative to antibiotic ointment? Conventional thinking teaches us that we need to kill potentially harmful viruses and bacteria, especially in dealing with wounds. But what about our healthy flora? Read more…

Managing RSV and Pertussis

Our family caught a virus, which went from one member to the next with a fever and cough. I didn’t get the fever, but got the cough. Soon my 6 week old started coughing too. On the third night, he wouldn’t stop crying and his cough sounded congested.

We tried suctioning out his nose, but didn’t get much at first. Mike could tell that there wasn’t liquid in his lungs. The majority of congestion or mucous was right in the throat and nose where we couldn’t reach. Mike decided to take him to the ER and suction out the mucous. There are so many cases like this where we live, that there are “suction clinics” set up in Utah InterMountain hospitals, so parents can take their child and get the mucous suctioned out quickly.

Resolving Urinary Tract Infections

I ate a bunch of sugar over Thanksgiving weekend. Who can resist all the tempting pies and other treats within easy reach over these holidays? I can’t. Especially when I’m 7 1/2 months pregnant.

I’ve been feeling fine, but a couple days after I got home from our trip I found myself with very low energy. I should have been tipped off by my feelings of not caring about anything and just wanting to go back to bed.

I didn’t have the normal symptoms of burning when I went to the bathroom or the frequent need to go, but I know I am more prone to yeast and urinary tract infections when I’m pregnant. Luckily, I had an appointment with my midwife, Vickie Sorensen the same day I lost my energy. Read more…

Constipation: Eliminate It!

What health problems do you struggle with? Chances are, the root of your problem stems back to some form of constipation.

Dr. Christopher, my old-time herbalist hero, taught that constipation is the cause of every disease. Some part of the body gets constipated and causes problems which are manifested as “dis-ease.” It doesn’t have to be just the digestive tract. It can be any system of the body.

Help for Endometriosis, PCOS & Other Pelvic Issues

Do you ever experience intense discomfort or cramping during your monthly cycle? Do you ever have unexplained pain or heavy bleeding from the uterus? Do you or anyone you know suffer from Endometriosis, polycystic ovaries (PCOS) or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?

Recently I’ve been studying essential oils and how they can help with these women’s pelvic issues.
From what I’ve found, many of the same essential oils are recommended for these different issues. I’m also including information on herbal and dietary help.

Resolving Earaches & Infections

Earaches are not difficult to resolve at home.

The most economical tool is garlic. Garlic oil can be rubbed on the bottoms of the feet, around the ear and dripped in (2 drops in each ear) at night to kill infection. Two cloves of garlic is equal in strength to an adult dose of penicillin.

Fixing A Crushed Toe

One time a good friend of ours called and informed me that while he was moving a pool table with his wife (Nicole), they had dropped one corner of it on her big toe. The toe was crushed. They didn’t think going to the ER would be all that productive and would be expensive to boot. What should they do?

I told them to come over and I started gathering remedies.
I pulled out my dependable Cuts & Bruises oil which eases pain, reduces inflammation and fights infection.

 


I grabbed some Complete Tissue ointment and Bone, Flesh & Cartilage herb blend (BF&C) for her to use in a tea for Read more…

Resolving Sore or Strep Throat

I’ve had 2 calls in the last week about sore or strep throat, so I thought I’d share my recommendations.

My throat is my barometer for the well-being of my body. When my throat starts to hurt, I know I need to cut back on heavy foods (especially after the holidays) and give my body a break.

Here are a few things I do to help my body get balanced again and fight any infections that may be starting. Read more…

Winning Remedy For Eye Problems & Infections

Many people have called me over the years for an easy eye infection remedy. Some of them were frustrated with conventional medicines that weren’t working.  I’ve had lots of friends ask me about pink eye. My neighbor called me recently because her daughter had gotten a tiny twig or piece of bark in her eye, it had gotten scratched, and they were wondering how to help it heal.

I LOVE helping people with eye problems, because this remedy has worked EVERY TIME. I’ve used it on myself and my children over the years with reliable success.

About 8 years ago I bought a 4 oz bag of Dr. Christopher’s Eyebright formula in powder form. Every time something Read more…

How I Resolved Uterine Fibroids & Prevented More Miscarriage

EmiliHi there! This is Jenni’s younger sister, Emili, here to explain one of my greatest lessons that I learned from a difficult personal experience.

Disclaimer: I will be talking about “women issues” openly. Please do not read this post if that bothers you.

I have always loved children. Whether it be babysitting a big family (which I did often when I was young), helping a family with small children stay quiet in Church or a new baby in the family, I was always the one in the middle of it.

I felt I could relate to kids in a special way and it always made me happy to be playing. If there was a baby in the room, I was usually the one holding it. So, naturally I have always wanted a big family of my own. Read more…

Top 10 Things to Do When Your Child Might Have the Swine Flu

First off, don’t fear. This illness spreads fast, but it’s not that dangerous, especially when you do a few simple things to stack the deck in your favor.

#1- Get Elderberry. It cuts flu recovery time from 6 days to IMG_11792. Health food stores have it in many varieties since a flu study came out a few years ago. I double the dose of most products for my own family if I suspect flu. I recommend Dr. Christopher’s Elderberry Extract or Vickie’s Flubuster and use 1-2 dropperfuls every hour in a drink. Elderberry prevents the virus from getting into healthy cells. Read more…

Kid Calm-All Tea, The Fast Way

What do I give my kids when they’re sick, or just need to calm down and go to bed?  Kid Calm-All Tea.

IMG_1184

When I got the bag new, it was almost twice this full.

A few years ago, I found a company that sells tea bags in bulk, and I mean bulk.

San Francisco Herb Co. sells peppermint, spearmint, and chamomile tea bags in 1 pound size. It’s a large bag that lasts a year and only costs $7=way cheap.

Here’s how to make Kid Calm-All Tea fast: Read more…
