Our blood has a normal pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. This means that blood is naturally slightly alkaline or basic.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14:
- A pH below 7 is acidic.
- A pH higher than 7 is alkaline or basic.
In comparison, our stomach acid has a pH of around 1.5 to 3.5. This makes it acidic good for digesting food and destroying any germs that get into the stomach.
If you think about it, pH balance is alkaline inside the blood and acid outside the blood. When the body is not balanced it creates a climate for illness. Cancer and candida need an acid condition to survive.
Moreover, the more acidic our blood is the less result we will see with essential oils. No wonder some people do not see results!
In acidic conditions, the oils will also take longer to work and won’t last as long. If this is you, you might want to use oils very frequently until a plateau is reached.
When a person does not like the smell of an oil it is also usually an indication of an acidic condition as well.
The body can only heal in an alkaline state.
Our thoughts, mindsets and food intake are also very important to condition our pH levels.
Start to maintain a more alkaline pH.
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲. Incorporate in as much as you can, but don’t stress it.
1. Add supplement in your daily supplementary. 3-4 capsules twice a day.
(My personal favourite is MultiGreen, I take 3 capsules twice a day)
2. Planning nutritious meals and snacks. Eat on time and snake sensibly.
(My personal favourite is Pure Protein Complete in chocolate or vanilla flavours, or Balance Complete, slique bars are my choices of snacks as well)
3. Reducing sugar and caffeine. I gave up coffee years ago, with no struggle. That was done after a couple years of serious oiling! One day I just didn’t like coffee anymore. I drink Ningxia Red daily, and lots of filtered water.
4. Keeping regular meal times—an important factor for maintaining blood sugar levels.
Time management and pre-prep meals ahead of time.
5. Regular breathing habit is also important. Start with smelling an oil (any oil of your choice), take time to breathe in and expand your lungs, and then breathe out emptying your lung. As you breathe in take in all the good, and as you breathe out, release everything that doesn’t serve you in a positive and progressive way. Do this multiple times a day.
6. I love using Genesis Body & Hand Lotion daily on my skin. It leaves my skin feeling so soft!
7. Add Lemon + oil to your water
8. I also take 1-3 cups of Alkalime daily
9. Our mind is our only companion.
How am I feeding my mind, what I see, hear, think makes a huge impact to the acidity levels in our body.
When our body is in a good state and blood pH is balanced, everything make sense and you will even look and feel better! Connect with me for more information!
During the Bubonic Plague (The Black Death) over five years, the Black Death killed more than 20 million people in Europe—almost one-third of the continent’s population.
The story of Thieves was about a group of "thieves" robbing the dead or the sick.
When they were caught, they offered to exchange their secret recipe, which had allowed them to commit the robberies without catching the disease, in exchange for leniency.
I tried making this blend on my own, but...... well... I would really prefer something that is made for me, blended and ready to go! So I love my Young Living Thieves Blend... they smell great, work amazing and so affordable.
We started off by applying a drop of Thieves on the bottom of feet before bed, and it was amazing. And then, we slowly converted all our household products to the Thieves line. The outcome was most enjoyable, clean and amazing.
I soon realize that Thieves are tested and they do kill germs and viruses! I absolutely love them. Here are some of the Thieves products that we use in our home, and why.
This bottle here can be diluted to 29 bottles! I use Thieves Household Cleaner to clean my counter top, dining table, floors, toilets and even my cars!
Another amazing product that I use to sanitize my hands! It is aloe based so it won't leave your hands feeling dry, and it is derived from peppermint leaves so it works so amazing and non-toxic!
We wash our laundry with Thieves laundry soap... clean, smells good and does not release toxic fume in our home!
If you have not tried the Thieves Whitening Toothpaste, you owe it to yourself to give it a try! Then, send me a thank you note =)
Cleaning our dishes with good smelling yet non-toxic soap is something I take seriously, after all... we eat from the dishes and breathing in the air that is in our home! Thieves Dish Soap is my choice for that reason!
Little hands are everywhere, I make sure my children wash their hands with Thieves hand soap...many products in the market are proven to kill 99.9% of germs and viruses. But not all of them are non-toxic, leaves our hand feeling rejuvenate and clean... and once again, Thieves for the win!
As much as we want to buy all organic and eat locally grown food. Sometimes, it may not be possible. So, I make sure I wash my fruit and veggies with the Thieves Soak. Infused with essential oils like Digize, it will remove residues of toxic chemicals that was sprayed on and in the soil! I am truly grateful for this amazing option to help my little family grow.

I struggled in this department from a very young age. Growing up, I was the one that can't go to the public bathroom when we were out on a family trip, I was the one who had to go NOW if I have to go (everything has to stop, and miss Jasmine has to go) .... when I was a teenager, I traveled a lot and whenever the toilet is too high, too low, too wet, too hot, a bit dirty, too clean, someone is waiting outside, lighting is too bright... I just CAN'T go.... so forget it, I will stick them back in for days, weeks and have gone as long as a month! YUKE!
So, when I say I struggled in this department ... I MEANT IT.
I tried everything, trust me.... I did.... but some are not appropriate to put online, so I will spare you the details... about 5 years ago, I stumbled upon Young Living's supplements and a book I truly treasured... by Dr. Leanne Deardeuff entitled "Inner Transformation Using Essential Oils". Everything Dr. Deardueff said makes sense to me, and when it make sense to me... I will do it... so, here goes my another round of TRIAL in this lovely department...
It was not uneventfulful in the beginning I have to say... "Alamak" why, why why... I felt weird, I was super hungry and then tired, I can't go one, but I have to" ... but hey, the book made sense to me, and I trust Young Living... so let's continued... it took a few months and tries...
Not until the end of my cleanse, I finally experienced how "not full of s---t" feels!
With pride, and joy, and lots of experiences, may I present to you...
the Gentle Colon Cleanse Protocol.
What do you need?
Young Living's Cleansing Trio consist of
1. Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse),
2. ICP and
3. Essentialzyme (or Detoxyzme).
Let's talk a look what they do:
Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse): an effective combination of fiber, herbs, and essential oils like Peppermint and Ginger. ComforCleanse supports the colon’s ability to function normally and is an ideal supplement for the short-term relief of occasional constipation.
- Cascara Sagrada is traditionally used in herbal medicine as a stimulant laxative.
- It can be used in herbal medicine for the short-term relief of occasional constipation.
- It can be used in herbal medicine to promote bowel movement (by direct action of the large intestine).
- ComforCleanse provides antioxidants.
- It also is a source of antioxidants that help fight/protect cell against/reduce (the oxidative effect of/the oxidative damage caused by/cell damage caused by) free radicals.
ICP (affectionately nicknamed I See Poop) helps gently cleanse your digestive systemwith an advanced mix of herbal ingredients ICP provides ingredients such as psyllium, oat bran, and flax and fennel seeds, and is enhanced with a special blend of essential oils.
- Used in herbal medicine to promote bowel movements by increasing bulk volume and water content
- Provides antioxidants for the maintenance of good health
- Used in herbal medicine to provide gentle relief of constipation and/or irregularity
- Provides antioxidants that help fight and protect cells against and reduce the effects of oxidative damage caused by free radicals
- Good source of essential fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to help maintain good health
- Great for use as a digestive aid or enzyme to help digest proteins
Essentialzyme: a multienzyme caplet specially formulated to combat the modern diet by supporting and balancing digestive health. It’s powered by a unique blend of enzymes such as pancrelipase and pancreatin that are known to assist the body in breaking down and digesting food, as well as Tarragon, Peppermint, Anise, Fennel, and Clove premium essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity and support healthy pancreatic function.
- Stimulates overall enzyme activity
- Supports and balances digestive health
- Supports healthy pancreatic function
- Assits the body in breaking down and digesting food
Over the last 5 years, I have routinely done 2 cleanses each year, and as I experience and learn the ins and out of it, I am happy to blog some of my experiences and I hope this will be a help for you as well.
First of, I really like this protocol because the taste isn't all bad (that is important if I have to eat them LOL), and it doesn't make me sick while I am on it. I can still go about my everyday routine and am able to continue my life at ease. In the past, I have tried other plans, but I find that they are not too well balanced with the ingredients needed to support the liver and kidney.... thus makes me feel nauseous, achy, gassy and headaches.
I love that the toxins can leave my body easily and not pulled back into my circulation.
I have to say, they have been gentle and have greatly helped me in this area. I can say that I no longer "struggle" in the department of elimination... not sure poop, but the ideas, life changes, information that I cannot process or "digest" in my life.
Let me walk you through how to do the protocol for your physical wellness, and we can touch on the emotional and energetic areas later.
The Protocol:
Day 1:
Start with 1 Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse) in the morning, and 1 in the evening.
Day 2:
Take 2 Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse) in the morning, and 2 in the evening.
NOTE: Everyone is different. If you start getting watery elimination, you want to pull back and skip taking. The ultimate "goal" is to have 3-5 inches banana like poop, not hard ad not watery. Now, you have it... .GRAPHIC LOL!
Day 3:
Take 3 Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse) in the morning, and 3 in the evening.
Day 4:
Take 4 Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse) in the morning, and 4 in the evening.
Day 5
Take 5 Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse) in the morning, and 5 in the evening.
You can go up to 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening. Not any more than that.
Watch your bowel... look for "banana". If its watery, pull back. If its hard, increase water intake.
The supplement is designed to restore peristalsis to the colon which means your intestines may get a little gurgles, some people reports that they feel a little sore. It is ok, give it a bit of time to "start the engine".
During your first week, if you are not having bowel movements, you can add 1 drop of Young Living's Peppermint Plus oil to a glass of water. Another great tip is to do a colon vitaflex technique to help with colon movements. Connect with me about this technique.
A few other supplements and food that have helped me were:
1. Drinking good filtered water (I use a Berkey at my home). How much water do you need to drink? Take your body weight in pounds, divide by 2, and drink the amount in oz. Let's say if you are 150 pounds, you want to drink 75oz of water daily. Note: Tea, pop, wine do not count =)
2. Fatty meats and fish help with the eliminating department. I take Omegagize daily.
Here are some info on OmegaGize:
OmegaGize³ combines the power of three core daily supplements-omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D-3, and CoQ10 (ubiquinone). These supplements combine with our proprietary enhancement essential oil blend to create an omega-3, DHA-rich fish oil supplement that helps maintain and support the cardiovascular system, cognitive health, proper brain function, maintain bone and dental health, and promotes healthy mood balance.
Used daily, these ingredients work synergistically to support brain, heart, skeletal, dental, and overall good health.
The benefits of OmegaGize³:
- The CoQ10 in OmegaGize³ helps maintain and/or support cardiovascular health
- Excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids for the maintenance of good health
- Helps support cognitive health and/or brain function
- Helps to prevent vitamin D deficiency
- Vitamin D is a factor in the maintenance of good health
- Vitamin D helps in the development and maintenance of bones
- Vitamin D helps in development and maintenance of bones and teeth
- Vitamin D helps in the absorption and use of calcium
- Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis
3. Good Grass-fed intake of Butter. They play an important role in the gut flora.
4. I also take a very good probiotic called Life 9 from Young Living. Why did I choose Young Living's? Because it is not the millions of probiotic that you need, it is the main 9 beneficial bacteria strains that makes the difference. https://www.youngliving.com/en_CA/products/life-9?sponsorid=1486272&enrollerid=1486272
Once you have achieve 2-3 bowel movements a day (that's because we eat 2-3 meals a day!), we can begin taking 1 tsp of ICP in the mornings in addition to the Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse).
Let's me talk a little bit about why 2-3 bowel movements.
Have you walked in the farm, and the cow, or chicken just poop right in front of you? They eat, and they poop... then they eat, and they poop....
However, us.... human... we teach our young to hold our bowels, because we need to find the rest-stop, or because the bell is about to ring... or you are in an important business call, so you have to "hold it in".
So, friends... 2-3 meals a day? 2-3 bowel movements.
ICP is a proprietary blend of fibres and herbs created to provide bulk and nutrition. The best way to take it is stir 1 tsp into juice, water or Ningxia Red and drink it quickly. Do not leave it at the counter as it will get thickens and it would be really yucky!
How do you use ICP in conjunction with Comfortone (or Comfortcleanse)?
Add 1/2 tsp of ICP a day until you are achieving large bulky stools and are not constipated.
The goal is to achieve a good solid bowel movement without feeling constipated. So, work it up to 1 tsp in the morning, and 1 tsp in the evening, but you only need to take as much is needed to achieve your goal for solids!
The Partnership of Comfortone (or Comfortclenase) and ICP:
While Comfortone (or Comfortclenase) is activating your bowels, ICP works like a "toilet bowl brush" to flush out gunk in your colon. Please be sure to drink your water, faithfully.
I have made it a habit to incorporate Essentialzyme in my daily routine, mainly for its support to. healthy pancreatic function. During your cleanse, you can start taking Essentialzyme in the beginning or when you are beginning to eliminating. Take one capsule between meals. So it is between breakfast and lunch; between lunch and dinner; between dinner to your yummy grilled cheese bed time snack (just kidding, I know you don't eat that before bed ;)
So, when do you stop?
Continue with Comfortone (or Comfortclenase), ICP and Essentialzme daily. You might want to pull back on Comfortone (or Comfortclenase), to the sweet spot of 2-3 bananas a day, solid.
Continue the trio until you have completely cleansed your colon. At one point, you might smell tar (and might see dark elimination)... those are the lining that has been imbedded for years, get them out! Continue until you pass the lining and still have 2-3 good, easy, solid "bananas" a day.
This might take MONTHS! You might not even finish it the first few rounds... but start somewhere, keep it going if you can! It is so worth-it.
Try to eat clean, stay healthy, reduce stress, improve your sleep.... hey, connect with me if you want more details in that department.
