When I first did this test, I was quite surprised to find that there was little movement at all.

What you need to do is encourage deeper slower breaths. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, and then breathe out through your mouth slowly. You will find when you first start practicing this technique that it will probably make you feel a bit light headed. That’s ok. It’s because your body isn’t used to receiving so much oxygen. It is used to living on “bread and dripping” bum end scale of oxygen.

Try doing this exercise a few times a day, eventually it will become habit and you will adopt new and healthier breathing habits.

It is important for anxiety sufferer to know that he/she will not stop breathing from these sensations. You try holding your breath; your body will shortly after force you to breathe again.

2) Apply essential oil directly to bruised or wounded area. As in example of Lavender applied directly to burn, apply Lavender or Melaleuca oil directly to cut, scrape or bruised area. This will provide maximum relief directly to affected area, where it is needed most. But be careful of oils you use in this manner. When using spearmint, for example, keep it completely away from eyes; it can cause severe itching and burning and lead to blurred vision for several hours.

3) Use a diffuser and diffuse your essential oils directly into air you breathe. You will need to have a very good diffuser, such as one available from Young Living, in order to do this more effectively. We have used several but discarded them all. Only Young Living diffuser seems to literally radiate oil scent throughout our home, but to do it efficiently. It costs about $100 US but it has proven many times worth it.

4) You can add add certain “edible” essential oils to water or food for both exotic and exquisite flavorings. Such “spiciness” will enhance your cooking and enhance therapeutic (medicinal) value of your foods as well. You cannot use all essential oils in cooking so it might be prudent to purchase one of Young Living’s “how to” books. They can be ordered directly from web site.

Finally, all good health and good nutrition and exquisite flavorings in world will not make you healthy if your body cannot use nutrients you are feeding it. Good digestion is basis for good health. Without good digestion most of nutrients in your body are going to waste – you might as well have a gigantic tapeworm siphoning off your food. In order to enhance your digestion you should also be using, at least periodically, a proven organic greens product as a digestive aid, one such as Bio 88+ (Plus).
