How I Get Relief from Migraines, Naturally

Migraines are painful and frustrating, especially when they keep you from living your life. Here, I share how I get relief from migraines naturally.

How I Get Relief from Migraines, Naturally

I never thought I could get relief from migraines naturally until I experienced it for myself.

How I do it is simpler than you may think.

Attack the Root, Not the Symptoms

Why do you have a migraine?

This is key.

Once I got rid of all synthetics in our home and switched to Young Living (the only synthetic and pesticide-free living available), my migraines became fewer and farther between.

Then, I got rid of antibiotics and turned to my wellness arsenal here at home.

Here’s how.

The Migraine

To tackle the migraine itself, I have a powerful tool in M-Grain.

This has Basil, Marjoram, Lavender, Roman chamomile, Peppermint, and Helichrysum oils in it.

I take one drop M-Grain and one drop carrier oil and place it on my temples, back of my neck, and I’ll breathe it in as well.

On top of fighting my migraine, the Peppermint, especially helps me with any nausea I have, which is a nice benefit.

The fact that this comes with 300 “doses,” is super helpful as well.

The Muscles

When I get a migraine, it feels like my muscles are super tense.

In order to feel relief and keep relief going, I’ll put one drop PanAway and four drops carrier and massage it into wherever I feel like the pain is.

Another option to help relief the pain in my muscles is the CBD Muscle Rub, which is beyond fantastic!

Hydration

A huge help for me is not only staying hydrated, but adding back in some things I’ve lost throughout the migraine.

I’ll add some Vitality Drops or AminoWise to water to help keep my body hydrated and replenished, which helps push through quicker.

We only use reverse osmosis water to ensure we aren’t putting more synthetics into our body. We use this one.

Pro-Tip

Consistency is key!

Put those oils on every fifteen minutes if you have to!

Keep siping that water!

Don’t stop relentlessly serving your body until you feel better.

Use Only Pesticide-Free

Using pesticide-free and synthetic-free products ensures you’re taking the best care of your body.

Since our switch, we’ve noticed we haven’t needed antibiotics, or over-the-counter medications.

I’ve had far less migraines, and I have real ways to dig down to the core and get rid of them instead of putting a bandaid on it like a “pain reliever.”

You can set up a Subscribe and Save to get a 24% discount on all products.

We order every month, so we get 25% back in points to spend like cash.

This program saves us over $2,000 every year.

You can read more about Essential Rewards here.

Final Thoughts

The ability to get rid of migraines without drugs has been empowering.

It has helped my overall wellbeing and health tremendously.

However, I couldn’t be nearly as successful as I am without living the Young Living lifestyle.

Relief is out there, and it’s easier and far less expensive than what you’re doing now.

Migraines are painful and frustrating, especially when they keep you from living your life. Here, I share how I get relief from migraines naturally.

How We Got Rid of Strep Without Antibiotics

How we rid of strep without antibiotics was a surprise to me and was unexpected, but it has changed our family's life forever.

How we got rid of strep without antibiotics was an interesting and unexpected turn of events.

I’d been a Young Living member for a year or so at the time, but I’d also been trained that when your kid was sick, you ran them to the doctor fast.

The strep test was positive.

The antibiotics were administered, but my son had a horrible case of hives with his last antibiotic.

A different one was given to us assuring us this one should be fine.

*I’m not claiming to heal, treat, or cure anything. I’m not a doctor. I’m one mom who’s used this technique successfully for over five years, and I want to share it with other parents, grandparents, and caregivers.

Timing

The timing was rough because we were heading out of town the next day.

After the first dose, we saw the hives.

We were on the road, and he was miserable.

More and more popped up left and right.

I made the decision to stop the antibiotics right then and there. We could not go through the same horrible time we had the last time.

What Could I Do?

We were already so far from home, and I wouldn’t be able to get meds until we got out of the hills and found a pharmacy.

Until then, I had this sick little guy who was supposed to be half-way better by then, and I had to do something.

Thieves.

I’d heard so many stories of what people had used Thieves Essential Oil for, and I always traveled with my oils.

So, I gave him a drop of Thieves in some honey we picked up.

The next hour, I gave him another drop. And then again and again.

I kept giving him water (and pulling over for lots of potty breaks) with a drop of Lemon essential oil in it.

The Switch

By the time we made it to the hotel and got settled in, I noticed he was feeling much better.

He said his throat didn’t hurt as much, and I noticed less white spots in his throat.

I thought what I saw couldn’t be true, but I decided I’d hold off on calling the doc. and keep giving him Thieves until the next day (Monday morning).

All the Help

I diffused Thieves and Eucalyptus in the hotel all night.

Continued to give him Thieves oil in honey hourly except for when he slept.

Put Frankincense and Lemon in carrier oil on his spine.

Kept him hydrated with water and lemon oil in his glass water bottle.

The Next Morning

What I saw the next morning blew my mind.

We only saw a couple of spots, but no one could miss my very energetic little boy!

I backed off on the Thieves to only every three hours in honey.

I continued to do Frankincense and Lemon 4 drops carrier oil to 1 drop essential oil (one Frank and one Lemon) on his spine.

Continued to make sure he drank lots of water with lemon essential oil in it.

Why You Should be SUPER Picky About Your Essential Oil

This is a must-read if you’re looking into starting to add in safe products into your home.

No other oils even come close to matching Young Living’s quality for one big reason: pesticides.

We hand-weed and never spray our plants.

That’s a big deal when it comes to your body’s health, and this article explains exactly why.

Need Oils?

This is the place to go when you’re looking for the simplest way to get the best oils on the planet.

And let me get the awkward questions out of the way right up front:

  • No minimum purchases
  • You never have to sell this
  • Can use the referral link to share with others
  • Yes, we’re an MLM.
  • No, that’s not a pyramid scheme…cause those are super illegal.
  • We’ve just celebrated 25 years as a company.
  • No, even the other oil companies “like ours” are NOT the same for the simple fact that they buy pesticide-sprayed plants from brokers.
  • We own our own farms and hand-weed everything (oils are in your bloodstream within 26 seconds of touching your skin–choose wisely).
  • Those prices look high because this is buying in bulk like Costco or Sams. One 15mL bottle of Thieves is 300 drops. One bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner is 29 bottles in one. You get the idea. 🙂

Other questions?

I’d love love love to chat with you and answer any question you have (even other awkward ones!).

Top 5 Ways to Love Your Body

These are my favorite top five ways to love your body through the choices you make in your personal, and health and wellness care.

Top 5 Ways to Love Your Body

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today I’d like to share my top five ways to love your body all the way down to your cells.

What better way to love my readers than to give you my best and favorite things?

5. Water + Vitality Drops

Oh. My. Goodness!

Have you tasted these new Vitality Drops?!

First, one of my favorite wellness loves is this reverse osmosis to ensure we knock out the scary stuff. With testing, we found regular filters weren’t even coming close to kicking out of our drinking water!

Then…y’all…Vitality Drops hit in January to kick off the new year, and they change the game from forcing yourself to drink water to downing whole bottles like it’s your job!

4. iTovi + Supplements=BFFs

If you haven’t gotten an iTovi scanner in your home yet, now’s the time.

It’s one of the key pieces of our health regimen. You can learn more about it here and get yours here.

When you add this to our Young Living supplements, it allows your body to do what it was designed to do: be well!

3. NingXia Red!

NingXia Red accomplished some serious goodness deep down in your cells.

It supports great energy levels, healthy cells, and healthy eyes!

It tastes great, mixes well with another favorite of mine, AminoWise, and is amazing to give to our six and eight-year-olds as well!

2. Massage + Feelings Oils

Goodness, friends.

We have got to take care of our mental health.

From starting with your ditch and switch from pesticide and synthetic-filled to Young Living, you’re on your way to taking care of your mental health.

From there, the massage oils and feelings oils are a straight up game changer.

Because of the way the brain works, the oils make a huge difference in this department!

The Feelings Kit is a great place to start!

Pairing this with the massage oils to commit to relaxation, is such a great idea for your Subscribe and Save order!

1.Thieves Line!

Friends, the power in this line is unbelievable.

The Household Cleaner let me throw away every single cleaner in my house.

The dishwasher detergent and dish soap are amazing alternatives to scary residues left behind and synthetic fragrance in your dishes and drinks.

The hand soap cleans our hands better than anything else without robbing your body of its natural defenses but instead building them up.

Final Thoughts

These five items are amazing for your body.

They release you from the need to have synthetics in your body.

This is a pesticide-free and synthetic-free way of life that you’ll love for its simplicity and it’ll love you right back.

Have a happy Valentine’s Day!

These are my favorite top five ways to love your body through the choices you make in your personal, and health and wellness care.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy Just ANY Essential Oil

With essential oil companies popping up left and right, here's how to spot a fake, and here's who's always got your back.

Essential Oil Key Info: Before You Buy

With essential oil companies popping up all over the place, there are a few things you should know first.

GiftWrapMyFace

1. The 26 Second Rule

Anything on your skin is in your bloodstream within 26 seconds.

Yes, this means it alters your DNA.

2. The 5% Law

One more thing before we get into the nitty gritty here.

The law only requires FIVE PERCENT of what is in an essential oils bottle to be actual oil from the plant.

This five percent bottle can be called “pure” and “therapeutic.”

Keep reading to find out what the other 95% is.

Scholastic Teacher Store Online

3. Organic Confusion

As consumers we generally see organic as safest, but that is hardly the case when it comes to essential oils.

The 5% law means that the “organic” oils you see on the shelf are packed full of synthetics and fragrance for highest profit.

Your body, very real and non-synthetic cannot handle fragrance or fake stuff, so every little cell in your body freaks out. Not good.

4. Pesticides Matter

Both inorganic and organic pesticides are still just that: pesticide.

And you do NOT want pesticides in your bloodstream.

There is only one company who never sprays their plants, and that’s Young Living.

Want proof?

You’re welcome on any farm, anywhere in the world, any day of the week.

Musicnotes.com

5. Other Factors

I could go on forever about how Young Living is the only first distillation, zero pesticide, zero synthetics, and zero fragrance company and why all that matters.

However, it really comes down to pesticides.

They’re a big factor when it comes to the crazy-huge rise in disease, and it has to be stopped.

6. One-Stop Shop

Young Living has over 600 lifestyle products all bearing the Seed-to-Seal promise.

Zero junk. 100% oil in every single bottle–whether that’s chapstick, body wash, deodorant, CBD or anything in-between.

Alibris: Books, Music, & Movies

7. Your Vote Matters

When you buy from Young Living only for every cleaning, personal care, and supplement need, you’re saying to the rest of the world, “This is our demand. Real, body-helping products. Or you don’t see a dime.”

8. Less Expensive than In-Store

Young Living is less expensive despite the sticker shock much like when you’re at Costco or Sams for the first time seeing how much bulk costs.

Young Living is simply buying in bulk.

Because of this, I can get 29 household cleaners for $22.

300 times I’ve rid of fever for $21.

Not too shabby considering the store comes nowhere near these prices.

PlushBeds

9. Start Today

The way Young Living works is simple:

  • Choose your wholesale kit (priced $35 and up–click HERE)
  • Choose Essential Rewards for max benefit (read more about it here)

10. Questions?

Email me anytime at andrea@graceblossoms.com.

I would so love to chat oils and healthy living with you.

Our family has been toxin-free for three-and-a-half years as I write this in February of 2020.

All in an effort to stop disease in its tracks, feel better, and keep our six-year-old from relapsing (childhood cancer).

I teach Young Living because I have researched like crazy and cannot find anything else that matches Young Living’s purity, cost, and efficacy.

I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your needs!

With essential oil companies popping up left and right, here's how to spot a fake, and here's who's always got your back.

Oil Cleansing

Oil Cleansing is EASY

Oil cleansing is a wonderful way to take off your makeup and clean your skin gently.

First, you’ll need an oil that suits your skin.

I use this organic hempseed oil because I’ve been struggling with acne for about 15 years. This is the only oil that doesn’t clog my pores.

Put a quarter-size amount of oil in your hand.

Add Young Living essential oil drops to the oil already in your hand.

I like to use 1 drop of this Lemon, 2 drops of this Frankincense, 1 drop of this Tea Tree, and 2 drops of this Roman Chamomile to help my skin’s particular needs.

Rub your hands together to mix and massage onto your face in small circles starting from the center and moving your way outward.

Run a washcloth under water as hot as you can stand it, and lay it over your face.

I hold this over my face for a little while or until I’m out of breath (haha) and then slowly pull it away from my face.

Use the washcloth to gently wipe away oil.

Oil Cleansing is AMAZING for Your Face

I still build in time to cleanse with my favorite Orange Blossom face wash.

I also exfoliate every few days with the most wonderfully gentle Satin Mint Scrub.

This has been such a beautiful process making my face finally feel smooth.

The combination of this and my Young Living oils (learn more HERE) has helped do some serious healing for my acne scars!

Also a Great Moisturizer!

I cannot get over the ART Light Moisturizer, and I prefer putting that under my Savvy Minerals makeup in the morning because of how light and wonderful it is.

However, at night I take a few drops of hempseed oil and add in the oils I’ve used like Frankincense, Lavender, and Roman Chamomile with great success for cell turnover resulting in brighter, healthier skin.

Want a Pesticide-Free Lifestyle Makeover?

From toxic and aging to the ONLY pesticide, synthetic, AND fragrance free products for health and wellness, you can make your life over for much less than you’re spending in store right now!

Click HERE to learn how or reach out to me at andrea@graceblossoms.com

I hope this blesses you like it has me!

Oil cleansing plus the suggestions of the essential oils mentioned here makes this a gentle yet effective way to create healthy skin.

Safest Baby Powder


If you use the safest baby powder, it  can be one of the most useful tools, and this two-ingredient synthetics-free DIY is the safest option.

Safest Baby Powder

Had I known how easy and cheap making my own safest baby powder was, I would’ve started this a long time ago!

Currently our choices are doom and gloom or pay through the nose for a few ounces of the stuff.

I call shenanigans!

At first I didn’t though. I wondered, if it’s so cheap to make, then why is all the “good stuff” at the store so expensive? 

There’s no better way than trying it myself. I found no good reason other than greed to mark organic baby powder as high as it is.

It’s so easy, cheap, and good to DIY that it’s one of my new favorites!

(First and foremost, if you want to superpower the following DIY, you’ll need your toxin-free kit. Do you have yours? It comes with a 24% discount on all toxin-free non GMO products! If not, click here: Young Living Starter Kit )

Why use baby powder with no babies in the house?

1.) Big boy stinky shoes (of which range in age from our youngest at 4 to my husband at 34!)

2.) Moisture absorber with my DIY deodorant

3.) Soft skin after shaving

4.) Dry shampoo

5.) Removes sand at the beach

6.) Keeps ants away

7.) Eyelash plumper

8.) Pet shampoo

9.) Removes grease stains

10.) Untangles necklaces

11.) Makes rubber gloves easier to get on/off

12.) Makes pumpkin carving easier (see the punched holes better!)

13.) Knocking hair off the boys’ shoulders after Momma cuts their hair

14.) Keeps sheets cool on hot nights

15.) Keeps playing cards from sticking together

16.) Takes squeaks out of hardwoods

17.) Sets makeup

18.) Keeps rabbits out of the garden

19.) Keeps pests out of garbage (they don’t like the feel of it on their paws)

20.) Protects hands from blisters and gets a better grip on gardening sheers

Option 1: Buy cheap.

*lung damage

*shortness of breath

*wheezing

*obstruction of airways

*Pneumonia

*Asthma

*cancer

*death

SERIOUSLY? If we’re on a budget these are our options!?

Option 2: Pay up, Buttercup

The powder scoring a “2” is $17.28 for 2.5 ounces. TWO and a HALF OUNCES!? WHAAA?!

Option 3: Mix together the following recipe

*Non-toxic, real ingredients for a fraction of the cost? SOLD!

  • 1/4 C Bentonite Clay Powder
  • 1 TBS Organic Arrowroot Powder

10 drops Young Living Lavender Essential Oil (or your favorite scent/benefit!)
Mix together and store in a glass jar and enjoy!

Benefits from using Option 3:

*Non-toxic

*Cost effective

*Simple to make

*Softer than other baby powders I have used

*Benefits of Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

With so many benefits and uses, it looks like our DIY baby powder is a keeper!

My hope is that it will serve you as well as it does our family!

Enjoy!

Andrea 🙂

If you heat style or blow dry your hair, you'll want to make sure to whip up some of this simple and healthy hair heat protectant DIY.

Healthy Hair Heat Protectant

Heat treated hair needs a good, healthy hair heat protectant DIY!

Unfortunately there aren’t any pesticide and synthetic free options on the market, so we make this super simple one instead!

DIY

Water, coconut oil, and essential oils is all it takes!

**If you haven’t gotten your 24% discount on the only pesticide and synthetic free lifestyle products, click here: Happy New Healthy Lifestyle!  

16 oz. spray bottle (this one is super cute!)

2 tsp Fractionated Coconut Oil (this is the one that’s always liquid–if you melt the solid kind, it’ll gunk up the bottle and not work)

10 drops Cedarwood oil

8 drops Lavender oil

4 drops Geranium oil

2 drops Patchouli oil

Funnel

Add all ingredients to spray bottle and fill the rest with water.

Shake and lightly spray on ends of hair before blow drying or heat styling.

If it makes your hair too heavy, try spritzing on your hand first.

Rub your hands together and just use your fingertips to work through your ends in a lighter way than the spray bottle can do.

Results:

First of all, how seriously easy was this healthy hair heat protectant!?

Now, that’s the kind of DIY I can enjoy!

Start LOW and go SLOW.

Safest Toxin-Free Self Tanner

This is the safest toxin-free self tanner, it is simple to make, works well, and is buildable all while being infused with Young Living's essential oils.

Safest Toxin-Free Self Tanner

The safest, toxin-free self tanner that doesn’t harm your body in the store doesn’t exist.

Thankfully, you have an option in this amazing DIY.

This Skin…

My entire life I’ve used self-tanner, but mostly since my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 Melanoma.

I’m made just like her.

We even have moles in the same places.

So, when I’m not under the knife at the dermatologist, I’m trying to appear more life-like with self-tanner.

I have tried some really horrible brands that simply didn’t work, and unfortunately all were terrible for my body.

Sunless Tan Must-Haves

If you haven’t gotten your toxin-free toolkit and 24% discount on all products that make DIYs like this possible, click here: Young Living Starter Kit 

1.) Color: Not too orange. Not too yellow. More natural, brownish color.

2.) Longevity: How long does it last? Does it reapply well?

3.) Application: smooth, not streaky, doesn’t leave my hands stained, and I can see where I apply it.

4.) Safety: is pesticide and synthetic free.

This summer, take care of your body the best way possible with the only pesticide-free lifestyle on the market.

My Favorite DIY:

Here’s a simple and effective sunless tan from One Mom and a Blog that applies evenly, wears off evenly, and even smells great!

You’ll Need the Following:

Glass jar

1/4 C organic shea butter

1/4 C organic cocoa butter

1/2 C organic coconut oil

1/4 C organic beeswax

6 TBS organic cocoa powder

20 drops Young Living essential oil (only pesticide and synthetic free oil option–follow this link to get your kit and discount)

Directions:

1.) Melt shea, cocoa, coconut, and beeswax.

2.) Add cocoa powder and essential oils. I like Myrrh or Lavender because they’re so great for skin, but choose whichever you’d like.

3.) Mix together and let sit in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes.

4.) Whip with either a hand mixer or Kitchen Aid for around 8 minutes and transfer to a glass container.

Apply daily for a sun-kissed glow!

Why I Like It

I love this mostly for how easy it is to fix if I apply it too thick in certain spots.

Just blend it in a little longer, and you’re all set!

Top 2 Safest Dish Soaps

Top 2 Safest Dish Soaps

The soap you use on your dishes matters, so we have found the top 2 safest dish soaps for your health.

Simple Answers

Your hands are covered in the soap you choose.

The food you eat sits on the dishes meaning your family ingests all the chemicals store soaps leave behind.

Thankfully, you have options!

(If you haven’t gotten your toxin-free wellness kit yet, click here: Young Living Starter Kit)

Option 1: Trusted Source

My all-time favorite trusted source for all things non-toxic is Young Living. 

Their Thieves Dish Soap is strong but safe.

The best part is that it is super concentrated, so it lasts a good while.

You’ll love how it attacks grease and leaves your dishes a true clean.

Option 2: My Favorite DIY

This recipe is fast to make, and it works so well that I love having the ingredients on hand for any time I run out of Thieves Dish Soap!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2/3 C liquid castile soap
  • 1.5 tsp washing soda
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vegetable glycerine
  • 20 drops Thieves essential oil blend
  • 10 drops Lemon essential oil
  • 16 oz canning jar

DIRECTIONS

  1. Add all ingredients and fill the rest with water.
  2. Add a foam top to your canning jar to stretch this.

Final Thoughts

It’s a great feeling.

Watching our boys drink from water bottles cleaned in safe soap, eating their meals from dishes I know are truly clean, but I shudder at what I’ve put into our bodies over the years.

I’m so grateful for so many safe options, especially with how well the Young Living and DIY work!

I hope this has helped you create toxin-free dishes stress free!
