Cooking Classes

I have been going to Kara's cooking classes and have learned alot.  I think I cook pretty healthy, but attending Kara's classes I always learn that I can step it up another level.

Kara is a great teacher. She is starting the next series March 27, 2010...Check out the class info below...


-Info about Kara Bagley-
I have been teaching classes for 7 years and have learned that Spring Break greatly interferes with commitment, so my next set of classes will begin the week after the kids are back in school. I have had a lot of requests for weekend classes, so I will be trying that out this time around. Most of the classes are the same topics as last time, however, I will be reorganizing some of the information and the class attendees greatly influence the way the class flows. Don't be afraid of taking the same class twice, there is great power in repetition.

Again, these classes will be held at my home in East Mesa. Contact me via email karabagley(at)gmail(dot)com to register. Class fee will be collected at the start of class. No children please.

I have learned much of what I have learned about essential oil, herbs and tinctures from Jacque Gurney an invaluable teacher. I echo Jacque when she says: “This information is shared with my knowledge that plant medicine is "God-Given" medicine. I know that it is not the plant that heals, but the creator's power and his organization of elements within the plant that helps our divinely created bodies (with their own power from the Creator) to use the materials that perfectly match the cells and body functions in order to make an environment where healing can occur." Nothing in this blog will work effectively if we do not practice healthy nutrition, have healthy lifestyles, follow the teachings of God & our Savior Jesus Christ, have faith, pray continually, and learn to listen and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost and learn to consistently ask for help from Priesthood Blessings. Priesthood blessings should be our first line of healing from any emotional or physical ailment. I know these things to be true and I say them in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

This disclaimer has been on the blog since day one...I just wanted to make sure it was easy to find so I added it to the labels...

Respiratory Health

I cannot tell you how many people I have heard from or have been asked for help with how to treat RSV, Pneumonia and other Major Coughs and colds that are going around. So I decided to just post what I would do if a cough or cold was able to progress to such problems (I have been blessed to know what to do immediately to keep from getting to a severe level).

The first thing that you and your family should be doing is strengthening your immune system.

To do this you need to do the basics that you already know about, but do not do religiously… (we all get lax, but now is not the time of year to fall short…unless you want to get sick!)

 *Bulk your diet up on healthy whole grains (soaked first), fruits and vegetables (as close to how God created it as possible).

* Take your vitamins and minerals, probiotics, and especially, make sure that you are taking vitamin D3.

 * Avoid processed foods and sugar. Sugar turns off your immune system for you to 5 hours after you eat it…Really!

*Protect yourself with essential oils. Apply Ravensara, Eucalyptus radiata, or Kids Wellness to your feet every morning to boost your immune system and protect your lungs… I rub a drop onto my chest in the morning. (Use cautions with asthmatics…apply to the feet or back…DO NOT GET NEAR FACE AS THIS CAN TRIGGER AN ASTHMA ATTACK!) *Read more about diluting essential oils for babies, children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems!

 * I know I swear by it but it works! Grapefruit tea… (find the recipe here). We drink this any time we come home from a public venue were people are hacking it up…Grapefruit is cheap and inexpensive and it works!

 *Diffuse you’re the air in your home to kill bacteria and virus as your family comes home… Don’t forget to use your car diffuser too.

 So you are already having a problem…

RSV or Respiratory Syncytial Virus-

 RSV is an airborne virus that attacks the lungs and respiratory system. RSV usually affects infants but can affect children and adults, is usually not as serious and causes cold like symptoms. RSV is very serious because it can quickly turn into bronchitis or pneumonia and result in hospitalization.

 This is what Mayo Clinic defines RSV as:

 “Signs and symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus infection typically appear about four to six days after exposure to the virus. In adults and older children, RSV usually causes mild cold-like signs and symptoms. These include:

  Congested or runny nose

  Dry cough

  Low-grade fever

  Sore throat

  Mild headache

  A general feeling of unease and discomfort (malaise)

 In severe cases

 Respiratory syncytial virus can lead to a lower respiratory tract illness such as pneumonia or bronchiolitis — an inflammation of the small airway passages entering the lungs. Signs and symptoms may include:

  High fever

  Severe cough

  Wheezing — a high-pitched noise that's usually heard on breathing out (exhaling)

  Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing, which may make the child prefer to sit up rather than lie down

  Bluish color of the skin due to lack of oxygen (cyanosis)

 Infants are most severely affected by RSV. They may markedly draw in their chest muscles and the skin between their ribs, indicating that they're having trouble breathing, and their breathing may be short, shallow and rapid. They may cough. Or they may show few, if any, signs of a respiratory tract infection, but will eat poorly and be unusually lethargic and irritable.

 Most children and adults recover from the illness in eight to 15 days. But in young babies, infants born prematurely, or infants or adults who have chronic heart or lung problems, the virus may cause a more severe — occasionally life-threatening — infection that requires hospitalization.

 When to see a doctor

 Most cases of respiratory syncytial virus infection aren't life-threatening. Still, seek medical advice for a child, older adult or other person at high risk who experiences any of its signs and symptoms.

 Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences difficulty breathing, runs a high fever or turns blue in color.”

 Please read the blog about essential oil cautions if you are not familiar with essential oils.

Essential oils can be used with over the counter medications, herbal, homopathic and Prescription medications, but you need to observe a two hour window. Take medication 2 hours before using essential oils or two hours after using essential oils.

  

*If your cold has gotten out of control you will need to be intensive. Use the French intensive method- use small dose of oils frequently, to kill the bacteria or virus before it has time to mutate. (I apply the oils frequently if I even see a sniffle, so that the virus or bacteria does not have a chance to get out of control).

Dr. Poenel’s French Intensive Method-

Apply the oils every 15 minutes for 2 hours, then every 30 minutes for 2 hours, then every hour for 4 hours, then 4 times a day for 10 days- *The virus grows every 20 minutes you must stay aheadof the virus!

 ****You must kill out the resistant bugs-treat for 10 days or it could come back with a vengeance!

 Ravensara essential oil is one of the best anti-viral oils to use for all respiratory issues.

 Ravensara and Kids wellness (a blend of: Thyme ct linaool, Ravensara, Eucalyptus radiata, Tea Tree and Lemon) are especially good to use with RSV. Apply to the bottoms of the feet (safer, faster method and the liver does not have to process the oils) and chest, diffuse into the air and use in Dead Sea Salt in the bath.

 *With infants- Have the baby lay on the mother’s chest in the bath. Soak for at least 20 minutes. A great blend is 1-2 cups of salt. To the salt add 10 drops Ravensara, Kids wellness, and eucalyptus radiata. Mix and add to bath water (otherwise the oils will not mix with the water).

 Other Oils to use include- Tea Tree, on the back and feet.

 Rotate oils to diffuse- Tea Tree, Exchange, or Peppermint (never diffuse in the same room with small children or babies or apply to face or neck -breathing difficulties or death can occur.)

If this is a serious condition and Tea Tree oil is not helping then use Rosemary ct. verbone. Dilute at least 50% and apply to the feet.

 In the early stages of illness Dill oil can help with respiratory and digestive problems and will boost immunity.

 Chest decongestant- Combine Dill, Eucalyptus radiata, and Lemon oils into message oil (dilute for age), then apply to chest and back.

 Great oils for respiratory issues-Singles-

Rotate through oils…do not use any one oil for more than two weeks.

All essential oils increase the body’s ability to uptake oxygen into the cells. Oxygen is necessary for healing and speeds the duration of healing.

Essential oil help to change the body from an acid condition (sickness) to a Ph balance for healing.

Your healing is going to only be as effective as the quality of your oils. You will not get the same results from dug store or health food store essential oils. Essential oils are not created equal. Essential oils are not regulated. Most health food essential oils are for smelling porposes and contain toxic chemicals...know your source.  I use Ready & Well or Forevergreen oils.
