Today I’m sharing my Top 5 Must Haves for Winter Wellness. I get lots of questions from other moms who are wanting to care for their families well, take care of them when they aren’t well, and create a safe and healthy environment for everyone in the home…including themselves!

Unfortunately, we did not have oils when our kiddos were little….and I so wish we did though. However, I do remember as a child, my mom would give me a spoon of Rock and Rye Whisky with a little lemon and honey….y’all the home remedies were real!! She also used to rub camphorated oil heated up a little on my legs in my elementary years when I’d have horrendous growing pains in the middle of the night. She would get the Dr. to prescribe it and pick it up at the pharmacy and I’ll never forget those brown glass bottles and the way the oil smelled.

So I do have a long history with oils….but unfortunately I didn’t know what I know now when our kiddos were little. But hey when you know better, you do better.

Can we keep our kids from getting sick? No. We will all get sick. But our bodies are made to fight and heal. And we don’t have to REMAIN sick.

Mamas, we are all the gatekeepers of our homes. You get to choose what comes in and what goes out. I now have the confidence and empowerment in using the tools God gave us to help them support our bodies, and know what to do when our bodies fall below the wellness line.

So here are my Top 5 Tools that we use throughout the winter…we really, throughout the year.

#1: Our Well Roller: this is a roller that we use to boost our immune system and get the “good stuff” in on a regular basis.

-thieves oil, frankincense oil, lemon oil, oregano oil. purification oil, and top it off with fractionated coconut oil in a roller. We roll this behind our ears, back of our neck, down our spine, and on the bottoms of our feet daily.

#2 Ningxia: 2 oz of this daily packs a powerful antioxidant boost for our bodies! We all need this health boost and the benefits are energy support, immune support, hair-skin-nail support, and those powerful antioxidants to fuel our bodies!

#3: Respiratory Support: R.C. oil is an amazing respiratory support oil with things like Eucalyptus oils, lavender, and cypress oil. We use this in the diffuser as soon as we feel a tickle and I even rub it right under my nose. You can also make a chest rub with it by combining it with a little solid coconut oil

#4: Inner Defense Supplement: The first one we grab when we feel that telltale tickle in the back of the throat! Inner Defense is an immune system powerhouse!

• Blend of thyme, oregano (powerhouse!), and Thieves essential oils

I hope my Top 5 Must Haves for Winter Wellness have given you some ideas. We are constantly doing our best to stay above the wellness line in our house. We try to eat right, get regular exercise, monitor our emotional health, LAUGH, LOVE each other in big ways, and of course add in these little tools to help fill in the gaps!!! If your family has some gaps that these tools could help you fill in, I’ll be glad to chat with you!!

Oils are simple really…you don’t have to know ALL THE THINGS to get started, you just have to be curious and willing to look at some things in a new way.
