I have been a teacher all of my life! I was given the responsibility to lead the music in my LDS primary meetings when I was 11 years old and should have been just an attendant. By the time I was 14 years old, I was also the teacher of a Sunday School class of 4-year old children. (Primary was on Mondays in those long ago days, so it was possible for me to do both!) I loved those callings!
What does this have to do with this newsletter highlighting Butterfly Express, LLC specials for other Foot Zone specialists? Not much, maybe, except a desire to share some of what I have learned over these many intervening years!. I am getting older by the day, and sharing what I have learned, often by hard experience, is the best of the things that fill my days!
I have been zoning feet for almost 30 years, guessing as best I can about the ages of my children at the time. Although our family was already using both herbal and homeopathic remedies, learning to ‘zone’ feet made a significant impact on the health of my family, just as it had done for me when I began getting zoned regularly a few months before begging to be taught to do it myself. My husband’s health was very sketchy at the time, as it had been for many years already. I believe, as I did then, that regular foot zones kept him with us. His health, even now at 73 years old, is better than it was then!
After some deliberation and visiting with an employee who also knows the Zone, we decided to feature the Synergy Kit to offer these ‘whole-body’ oils to zone therapists at a discount, along with a bit of information about various body systems and the essential oil blends, mostly formulated by me, that I have found useful during foot zones over the years.
The end of summer and the upcoming return to school for children, teens, and college students can be a stressful time for everyone involved, including parents. This seems to be true to some extent, no matter the age of the child or even how well the previous school year went. And then, the school day usually requires the student to focus and pay attention while sitting at a desk—something many children find quite difficult. Then there are the issues of getting homework done and back to school with the children, young or old!
The remedies focused on as specials and offered at discounted prices, were chosen with these issues in mind. However, as you will quickly see from the product descriptions, they address energy levels, the ability to focus and pay attention, and handling anxiety from any cause and in any type of situation.
Essential oils, herbs, and homeopathic remedies can be great natural options for keeping your skin safe in the sun and keeping bugs away. Products like lavender essential oil and Neutralizer help soothe sunburns, while things like Sun Shade lotion offer sun protection. For bug bites and stings, herbs like calendula or plantain can calm the itch, and essential oils like citronella, catnip, and kanuka help keep mosquitoes and other bugs at bay. Homeopathic remedies like Apis or Ledum can also help with swelling and itching if you do get bitten. It’s a simple, natural way to care for your skin and stay comfortable when you’re outside.
In September the topic up for discussion is Strengthening Lymph and Immune. These are two very important systems for maintaining health and preventing sickness. I am loving the new tincture for giving your lymph some Tender Loving Care. We will discuss other tinctures for cleansing as well as give you a link for how to cleanse without making yourself sick. Essential Oils have been my go-to for lymph draining for years and we will discuss some of my favorites. Of course, this blog would not be complete without talking about the blessed waters that you should know for helping your immune and lymph systems. See the full list of topics.
