Keeping your family healthy God's way

Winter often brings an influx of colds, flu, and the dreaded stomach virus in its wake.  Families are more susceptible to these bugs during this season due to low vitamin D levels, a lack of proper handwashing, poor diet, and physical contact with others who harbor the germs.  Prevention is key, but what can parents do when symptoms arise?  Children under the age of five should not take over the counter cough and cold medicines, and many OTC preparations contain ingredients that are less than natural.  According to Jordan Rubin, N.M.D., Ph.D., author of The Maker's Diet, the Bible references the use of "thirty-three species of essential oils" for spiritual and physical health and well-being.

Linda of Heritage Essential Oils provides single essential oils and blends to treat a multitude of conditions.  This charming family business takes great pride in offering quality products at affordable prices.  Do these essential oils actually work, or is the premise of essential oil use pure quackery?  Just view the testimonials associated with these oils and the case studies provided by Heritage Essential Oils.  Better yet, purchase an inexpensive sample and see for yourself.  Respiratory Relief and Mom's Remedy will have your children breathing easier when illness strikes.  Digestion Support is sure to attack any stomach virus that afflicts your family, all with blends of natural essential oils.
