Water quality matters, but is of utmost importance for fertility.

 Do you know where your water comes from?  It is filled with toxins from run off of golf courses, factories, manufacturing and industrial plants?  We get a water quality report, but its not ideal in Long Island.  Do you live in a city the puts flouride ( a known neurotoxin) in the city water supply?  Its time to really think about what we are drinking. The plastic bottles aren't safe either even if they do claim to be BPA free. The best solution is buy an entire house water filtration system so you can even shower and wash your hands with toxin free water.  If thats not in the budget, an under the sink filter works great along with a shower filter.  I know firsthand how sensitive skin can be since break out in a rash from unfiltered water and it sometimes happens to my kids as well.  

If you are on the go, fill your filtered water in a stainless or glass travel thermos or purchase a safer water like Mountain Valley which comes in glass or Fiji.  You have all read the reports of how we are being tricked into thinking all bottled water comes from amazing springs and will be a healthy option. 

When couples are trying to conceive, the toxins in the water can impact the health of the eggs and sperm.  We need to be mindful about what we are putting in and on our bodies for the health of ourselves and our future children.  See the link for Aquasana, which is what I have in my shower and sink.   <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/link?id=r3nG4catGPA&offerid=266068.816749011890&type=2&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aquasana.com%2Fwhole-house-water-filters%2Frhino-600k-gallons%2Fsalt-free-water-conditioner%2Fuv-filter-100238140.html%3Fdiscountcode%3DLS"><IMG border=0 src="https://www.aquasana.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-aquasana-master-catalog/default/dw62455bf0/images/large/EQ-600-AST-UV.png" ></a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src="https://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=r3nG4catGPA&bids=266068.816749011890&type=2&subid=0" >

Birthing with Essential Oils and Hypnobirthing!

Many women are choosing Hypnobirthing to birth their babies now that Kate Middleton has done it!  Something that goes great with Hypnobirthing is Essential oils by Young Living.  I used them with my last birth and 3 of my favorites were Peace & Calming, Stress Away, and Valor.  The first two are great for aromatherapy and can be diffused or used topically like a perfume.  Valor I really like to use on the jaw to help relax and give your courage like the name implies. An open jaw helps make for an open birth canal!  Valor is one of my favorites and has a great smell that contains Frankincense,   Black Spruce and Blue Tansy to give it that woodsy scent that mixes with a touch of Geranium. You can also apply to your spine.

Another tip to ease the birth process is to let gravity do the work and stay out of the bed and keep the lights dimmed!  Use a birthing ball or stand and sway back and forth or even dance!!   Setting the mood with Hypnobirthing CDs which you receive in Hypnobirthing classes along with your favorite meditation music will work wonders! Dimming the lights will help release melatonin which works with the bodies natural oxytocin during birth.  This melatonin also transfers to the baby during natural births and has protective properties.  If you want more info on a Hypnobirthing class in Long Island, contact me!  To learn more about Essential oils I would be happy to help and can sign you up for my newsletter.  Happy Birthing!!

Essential oil must haves for travel!

Spring has sprung! Time for vacations and outdoor fun!  We took a short trip recently and something we never leave home without...our essential oils and favorite products.  There are a few must haves for travel since we usually stay at a timeshare and have our own kitchen. Also, you never know what the cleaning staff missed sanitizing!!  All purpose Thieves spray is great for remote controls and door handles in hotels, or anything your feel isn't the cleanest!

Thieves household cleaner so we can clean up our delicious meals in the kitchen.  Theives hand sanitizer for little hands and big ones. Purification to diffuse any musty smells or cooking odors or make an outdoor spray or the Young Living Insect repellent.

We were traveling by car so we didn't have to worry about airport security issues and sizes of bottles but you can easily transfer to appropriate sizes.  When summer really sets in the sunscreen is also needed. 

This is just the short list.. there are many others that I take along too!! To get your Essential oil products... To buy my book... Going Green Before You Conceive.

Cannabinoids, CBD and Copaiba oil..all great!

So you have all heard the buzz about CBD oil, which we can cook with and its ability help support many different uses for health and wellness. I am not going to bore you and get too technical, but, understand there are 3 types of Cannabinoids.  CBD(from hemp or cannabis) THC (from cannabis which gets you high) and BCP (from Copaiba).  Copaiba essential oil that contains these similar cannabinoids as CBD is a great source without traces of THC if you are worried.  CBD is legal in all 50 states, but for those of you who are concerned about trace amounts, this oil is an excellent option. It is less expensive, and I use it as part of my health and wellness routine.
You can put it in a tea, rub it on your skin, diffuse it or put it in a capsule. It supports many systems of the body and will leave you feeling great and relaxed.  It has a woody smell I love!  To order....http://wendieaston.marketingscents.com/ms/view?page=ms-ordering
