Stomach Bug
Saturday, April 4, 2009
You may be wondering why BodyCream4u is posting about issues such as a stomach bug or essential oils. Well, essential oils are an essential part of cream making. However, not only will essential oils enhance your creams, lotions, or scrubs, but they also enhance your overall well-being. They are even supportive in fighting the flu, colds, or stomach bugs.
For that matter, it seems that there is a stomach bug going around; at least here in the NY area. If you are unfortunate enough and caught this nasty bug, keep yourself warm and drink lots of fluids to keep your body well hydrated. Drinks such as Gatorade are great and if possible, try to avoid carbonated drinks as these will dehydrate your body even more. In any case, consult a physician or if need be, go to your nearest emergency room.
Essential Oils can support you through this time:
❀ Lavender Essential Oil is soothing and calming.
❀ Ginger is a wonderful aid for many ailments. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it such a powerful tool to fight infections. Use either fresh ginger and boil it in tea or use essential oils to rub into your stomach / belly area.
❀ Clove has long been a staple herb in herbal medicine. Its uses are known to fight cholera, intestinal parasites and infections. It helps promote digestion and fosters metabolism. It is also good for muscular cramps, something that is often accompanied when fighting against a stomach bug. Rub the essential oil into your feet as the soles of your feet are the gateways to your internal organs.
❀ Lemon is another wonderful oil to fight infections. Put one or two drops in your drinking water. Lemon has antiseptic properties.
❀ Fennel is good for digestive problems and gas. It is antiseptic and antispasmodic (relieves cramps).
❀ Oregano has been a staple in many kitchens to spice up savory dishes. But did you know that it is also great for digestive problems? Rub 1 or 2 drops into the soles of your feet.
❀ Di-Gize is an oil blend from Young Living. It is good to relieve digestive problems and its ingredients are a combination of powerful essential oils such as Tarragon, Ginger, Peppermint, Juniper, Fennel, Lemongrass, Anise, and Patchouli. It helps very well if 2-3 drops are rubbed around your belly area or into your feet.
Be well!
