Essential oils aren't something new. They have been used for thousands of years as a medicine to heal the mind, body and soul. When you find the real deal, they can be a truly beneficial gift from mother earth. We are starting to look for healthier products on the market and some businesses are taking full advantage of this without safety in mind. Unfortunately, in today's society businesses are putting profit as the priority rather than the healing properties. So many brands of essential oils have saturated the market. Then uninformed buyers are putting their health at risk without even knowing it. As a concern, I decided to write a blog about this topic after doing a lot of research on my own before choosing an essential oil company.

The one thing that concerns me the most is that people just want the best deal and I get it. However there are certain items you don't go cheap on! This is just one of those items because when it comes to essential oils, cheap can be risky. The truth is, it's expensive to make oils that contain a high percentage of the actual plant substance. 

After struggling with an unknown illness, I learned as much as I could about health and wellness. Some of the most interesting information I found was that there is a specific link between our brain health and diet. How was it possible that at 36 years old I started to get brain fog, memory loss and severe depression/anxiety?  It all started at the same time as numerous other symptoms, which eventually I found out was all connected to my Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth, Histamine Intolerance and stress.

The book which had a big impact on me was 'Genius Foods' by Max Lugavere. After his mother was diagnosed with a mysterious form of dementia, Max put his career on hold to learn everything he could about the workings of the human brain and his mothers condition. For the better half of a decade, he consumed the most up-to-date scientific research, talked to dozens of scientists and clinicians around the world, and visited  the country very best neurology departments. Lugavere uncovers the stunning link between our dietary and lifestyle choices and our brain heath. 

​Mental illness has many faces, so you shouldn't judge others because you have no idea what battles they are fighting. You may feel ashamed of your own story but it may inspire others and stop the stigma. Mental illness can be crippling and not everyone may understand, but that’s okay.

If you read my story tab you can understand where it all began. However most don’t know by looking from the outside that from 8 years old I started suffering from anxiety or that my first episode of depression was at the age of 16 years old. At the time I wasn't diagnosed and it wasn't a topic often discussed. On the outside, I would smile but what was happening on the inside was a different story.

After a traumatic event at 19 years old, doctors immediately prescribed me medication but I wasn't given any other means of care. My decision was to try alternative means of natural healing on my own. Although I could share more, let’s fast forward.

Most of us think about our physical wellness and the well being of others around us, but what seems to be left on the back burner is our spiritual wellness. Our mind, body and spirit are connected and when one is out of balance, it can can cause the others to weaken. 
Spiritual health is all about finding purpose in this world and meaning in your life. This purpose effects you and the others around you. It's about self discovery and finding your most authentic self. Everyone on of us is different and what may work for someone may not work for another. 

Here are 7 Spiritual Keays2Wellness

Most of us have a wax warmer/scentsy/candles burning throughout our house but did you know it could be toxic?
​
Today's market is saturated with soy candles "blended" with toxic paraffin wax and chemicals from fragrances.  I use to be a complete candle-scenty addict but I ditched all of them since 2017. Once my wellness journey began I started to turn to more natural remedies and began detoxifying my home. We are subjected to toxins every day and I wanted to make my home a safe haven.  After becoming ill it opened my eyes to the truth behind the food and products I was using on a daily basis making me fat, sick and tired!
