What is the best company in network marketing? We asked the world famous Richard Bliss Brooke what he thought the best company was. And how do we know that Richard thinks Young Living essential oils is the best company? Because after 30+ years in the Network Marketing profession, Richard has joined Young Living as a distributor! There's no better endorsement than that from a world leader in Network Marketing!</div><div> Richard Bliss Brooke is the author of the 4 Year Career and is one of the world's most respected speakers, coaches and trainers in the Network Marketing profession. Richard literally wrote the book on how to choose a network marketing company. Richard has followed his own advice from his book the 4 Year Career to choose Young Living essential oils as his network marketing opportunity. Young Living ticked all the check boxes for what to look for in a network marketing company.</div><div>In this video interview, Sharon Wild and Skyla Mann, Young Living leaders, were keen to find out more about Richard's reasons for joining Young Living. In this interview Richard Bliss Brooke outlines why he decided to become a Young Living distributor, to bring his organization into Young Living. Watch the video to hear from Richard.</div><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KFadVLS2hUE"/><div>Here's a summary transcript of Richard's reasons for joining Young Living.</div><div>Through Richard's Network Marketing Coaching business called Bliss Business, Richard noticed that many of his coaching and training clients were from Young Living and that the Young Living clients always did way better than any other company.</div><div>Richard offered the same same coaching to his other clients, but the Young Living clients advanced through the compensation plan quicker, they built bigger teams and they made more money. </div><div>So Richard started asking the question &quot;what is it about Young Living?&quot;</div><div>Richard first looked at the Young Living leaders - to see if they were exceptional leaders or whether it was because the leaders work harder than anybody else. But Richard concluded that it wasn't that. </div><div>Richard concluded that it was the Young Living products and the stickiness or retention of Young Living members to the products. </div><div>Richard assessed the figures of one of his top coaching clients from Young Living and found that the percentage of members who had joined and were on autoship (monthly ordering) was unprecedented in the network marketing profession. </div><div>Young Living has higher retention than any other company Richard has ever seen in the MLM industry. Richard said &quot;if you look at any of the big companies like Herbalife, Amway, Mary Kay and NuSkin, those companies' retention rate is somewhere between 1% to a high of 10% of the people that join who are still active a year later; with 10% being considered as 'out of the park' high.</div><div>Richard's Young Living clients retention rates were 4 to 5 times that. Richard saw consistent results and figures with other Young Living leaders. </div><div>Richard also had 'soft reasons' for joining Young Living. Young Living has the kind of culture that matches who Richard and his wife Kimmy are and what they teach. Richard believes Young Living aren't about being the biggest company or the fastest growing. Richard believes Young Living is more collaborative and mission based than they are business based. Richard saw that Young Living embraces authenticity, honesty, family and spirituality. Richard believes Young Living have done an extraordinary job of creating products that people love and stick with. </div><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hGaAiYRMw7k"/><div>In this video, Sharon Wild and Andrew Wild, Young Living leaders from Australia explain who Richard Bliss Brooke is, and why his endorsement of Young Living is so significant.</div><div>Who is Richard Bliss Brooke?

Peppermint Water</div><div><div>Young Living peppermint essential oil can be added to food and drinks to flavour food</div>.</div><div>Peppermint water is a healthy drink option that can replace sugar-filled soft drinks, iced-teas and cordials.</div><div>Everybody knows that drinking water is great for health. Though most people struggle with drinking enough water. How often have you thought to yourself &quot;If only water tasted good I'd drink more of it&quot;. That's where essential oils come into play. If it tastes good - people drink more. Essential oil drinking water tastes super yummy. That's why everybody says when they try essential oil drinking water they find it easier to drink more water.</div><div>When using peppermint oil in drinking water, there's a 3 things you need to know.</div><div>1. The <div>flavour of peppermint essential oil is strong</div>. Some people love it, some people don't. That's just like any flavour - not everyone's tastes buds are the same. So give it a try to see if it's the flavour for you. Personally peppermint water is one of my favourites, I love it! </div><div>2. Use a small amount! For most people, one drop of peppermint oil to 250ml glass of water is a good flavour level. For some people, one drop to one litre of water is the flavour level they prefer. This is something that you'll need to try for yourself to find out your flavour preference. Though most people find that using more than one or two drops to a glass of water is too strong in flavour for them. So when you try peppermint oil water for yourself, start with one drop in a jug of water or large glass.</div><div><div>3. Make sure you're using an essential oil suited for use in food. </div><a href="https://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/shop/Peppermint-essential-oil-15-ml-Retail-p130325671">Young Living peppermint essential oil</a> can be used for food and drinks. You'll see the guidelines for use in cooking on the Young Living bottle label. Though please note that most brands of essential oils are not suitable for use in food and drinks. Most brands of essential oils, even oils labeled as 100% pure or organic are designed for aromatherapy purposes only, they should not be used in food and can be harmful if ingested in food. So make sure you're using an essential oil that's listed for use in food. With Young Living peppermint oil you can rest assured it's safe for use in food.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_904a1a6c4a274554babeaf68b0390500.jpg"/><div>2.

When not in use, clean the diffuser and store dry.

You get the point. Anytime you use a bed in a cabin or hotel room, there’s likely to be something in that bed that the previous guests left behind.</div><div>So what do you do? You need to sleep and you want to enjoy your trip without fear of what’s under the sheets. </div><div>So here’s the plan to ‘detox’ the cruise cabin bed</div><div>Pull back the covers on the bed and spray either Thieves Spray, or sprinkle Purification or Lavender essential oil on the sheets and pillow cases.</div><div>Just keep in mind, for most people lavender has a calming influence which can help to ease them to sleep. Though if you’re using Lavender, don’t go overboard on how many drops you add to the bed and pillow case. For some people, a lot of drops of Lavender actually has an energising effect and can keep some people awake at night, rather than helping them to relax and ease into sleep. So just use a couple of drops of lavender.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_34b4232cf1e14cc480124757d28f4e41~mv2.jpg"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_ac499db29c4741d6b1e6e5a6c97eb9dd.jpg"/><div>Option 1 : Sprinkle a few drops of Purification essential oil on the sheets.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_221f29947a304c30ba0946bc54d54e90~mv2.jpg"/><div>Option 2 : Sprinkle a few drops of Lavender essential oil on the sheets and pillow cases.</div><div><div>Option 3 : Spray Thieves Sprayon the sheets and pillow cases</div>.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><div>See the next parts of this series of Avoiding Gastro &amp; Staying Healthy on Your Next Cruise Holiday</div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-1-Boost-Your-Health/ca3f/56e760390cf221f9af2d9a84">Part 1 - Part 1 - Boost Your Health</a></div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-2-A-Clean-Cabin-is-a-Healthy-Cabin/ca3f/56f0f25d0cf28bf0e6e982ba">Part 2 - A Clean Cabin is a Healthy Cabin</a></div><div>Part 3 - Who’s Been Sleeping in My Bed?</div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-4-Clean-Your-Hands/ca3f/57be67020cf2ef6cb19b74a4">Part 4 - Clean Hands</a></div><div>Part 5 - Happy Tummy</div><div>Part 6 - Stay Hydrated</div><div>Part 7 - Fun in the Sun</div><div>Part 8 - Too Much Fun</div><div>Part 9 - Too Much Late Night Karaoke</div><div>Part 10 - Energy &amp; Sleep</div><div>Part 11 - Breathing Easy</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_0da1e6238987413b879f40e9c2291a48~mv2.jpg"/><div>Want to know more about how to use Thieves products?</div><div>When you purchase Young Living Thieves products at WildEssentialOils.com , you receive the Thieves Guide e-book.

Or they have the smell of the chemical air fresheners and chemical cleaners used to cover-up the funk from the previous guests.</div><div>Here's what I do to get rid of the funky cabin stink...</div><div>I use a portable diffuser, with Purification essential oil. Purification is fantastic at combating foul odours, musty smells and cigarette smoke. Plus it helps to cleanse and purify the air without using nasty chemicals. It's fresh uplifting scent is a favourite with most people.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_b848d1bb325545829d2900fac1cd75a5.jpg"/><div>The Orb diffuser is a great travel sized diffuser, that's light-weight, portable and spill-proof. It's powered by either USB power or a power cord.</div><div>If you don't have a diffuser to take with you, try one of these options...</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_0b4c4d7a4c78441dad63bc23091932e7.jpg"/><div><div>Option 1 : Drop a few drops of Purification essential oil around the room</div>. I sprinkle a few drops around on the carpet and around the room.</div><div>Option 2 : Make up a spray bottle filled with water, add 10 drops of Purification oil blend and spritz the furnishings in the room, including the chairs, sofas and bedding.</div><div><div>Option 3 : Apply a few drops of Purification oil to cotton balls</div> and place the cotton balls in air vents and air conditioning vents.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><div>See the next parts of this series of Avoiding Gastro &amp; Staying Healthy on Your Next Cruise Holiday</div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-1-Boost-Your-Health/ca3f/56e760390cf221f9af2d9a84">Part 1 - Part 1 - Boost Your Health</a></div><div>Part 2 - A Clean Cabin is a Healthy Cabin</div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-3-Whos-Been-Sleeping-in-My-Bed/ca3f/579862920cf29b70b6d0de76">Part 3 - Who’s Been Sleeping in My Bed?</a></div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-4-Clean-Your-Hands/ca3f/57be67020cf2ef6cb19b74a4">Part 4 - Clean Hands</a></div><div>Part 5 - Happy Tummy</div><div>Part 6 - Stay Hydrated</div><div>Part 7 - Fun in the Sun</div><div>Part 8 - Too Much Fun</div><div>Part 9 - Too Much Late Night Karaoke</div><div>Part 10 - Energy &amp; Sleep</div><div>Part 11 - Breathing Easy</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_0da1e6238987413b879f40e9c2291a48~mv2.jpg"/><div>Want to know more about how to use Thieves products?</div><div>When you purchase Young Living Thieves products at WildEssentialOils.com , you receive the Thieves Guide e-book.

Everybody says that's especially true when we're travelling. </div><div>Most people know travelling can take it's toll on us. Just think of all the things we do when travelling. From being battered by the elements of sun and wind on the cruise deck, the outdoor adventures, late nights at the cruise ship casino, crazy taxi rides at ports and the stress of almost missing the boat departure at ports. Travel can be stressful on the body.</div><div>Stresses like these have an effect on our immune system, often suppressing the immune system and making us more susceptible to falling ill.</div><div>Whilst travelling on cruise ships I use nutritional supplements for an added internal boost.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_2bb53e10ad6e4a73aa0e065845469ccc.png"/><div>Inner Defense capsules, containing Thieves essential oil, plus oregano, thyme and lemongrass essential oils is my travel companion. Inner Defense capsules are filled with antioxidants to help to keep my body healthy and strong. I simply follow the directions on the label of taking two capsules each day whilst I'm travelling, plus for a few days before and after the cruise trip.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_d11ea596fe6e4cd8abfa07d5efcf4967.png"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_2e586fc7f9d34f37911caff7e15f6df1.jpg"/><div>I also drink NingXia Red juice in handy portable sachets everyday whilst travelling. NingXia Red is a powerful combination of high anti-oxidant fruits, including the NingXia Wolfberry (Gogi berry), together with orange, tangerine, yuzu and lemon essential oils. NingXia Red not only supports my health, it gives me the energy I need to make the most out of every day on the cruise.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_e0d1f2d16123430ca1ec160d06d095cc.png"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><div>See the next parts of this series of Avoiding Gastro &amp; Staying Healthy on Your Next Cruise Holiday</div><div>Part 1 - Part 1 - Boost Your Health</div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-2-A-Clean-Cabin-is-a-Healthy-Cabin/ca3f/56f0f25d0cf28bf0e6e982ba">Part 2 - A Clean Cabin is a Healthy Cabin</a></div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-3-Whos-Been-Sleeping-in-My-Bed/ca3f/579862920cf29b70b6d0de76">Part 3 - Who’s Been Sleeping in My Bed?</a></div><div><a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cruise-Ship-Survival-Guide-Top-Tips-for-Avoiding-Gastro-Staying-Healthy-on-Your-Next-Cruise-Holiday-Part-4-Clean-Your-Hands/ca3f/57be67020cf2ef6cb19b74a4">Part 4 - Clean Hands</a></div><div>Part 5 - Happy Tummy</div><div>Part 6 - Stay Hydrated</div><div>Part 7 - Fun in the Sun</div><div>Part 8 - Too Much Fun</div><div>Part 9 - Too Much Late Night Karaoke</div><div>Part 10 - Energy &amp; Sleep</div><div>Part 11 - Breathing Easy</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_0da1e6238987413b879f40e9c2291a48~mv2.jpg"/><div>Want to know more about how to use Thieves products?</div><div>When you purchase Young Living Thieves products at WildEssentialOils.com , you receive the Thieves Guide e-book.

You don't need to cover the entire toothbrush in toothpaste like you see on the toothpaste TV ads. A small pea sized amount is all that's needed. Using a small pea-sized amount makes using Thieves toothpaste cost effective, as the tube lasts a lot longer.</div><div>Which Thieves Toothpaste to choose?</div><div>The Thieves toothpaste you choose will be a matter of personal preference.</div><div>Aromabright and Thieves Ultra are the two most popular toothpastes.</div><div>When it comes to dental benefits, AromaBright toothpaste is a great option if you’re looking to combine the benefits of Dentarome Plus and Dentarome Ultra toothpastes.</div><div>If you're desiring teeth whitening benefits, Thieves Ultra is the toothpaste that most people choose.</div><div>Beyond the dental benefits, it comes down to flavour preference. </div><div>All 3 Thieves toothpastes offer all-natural dental care, though they each have a different flavour.</div><div>Dentrarome Plus is sweet in it's flavour, with a sweet herbal type of taste of peppermint, wintergreen and hint of cinnamon-clove from Thieves.</div><div>Aromabright is sweet in it's flavour, with a minty flavour. </div><div>In addition to the Thieves oil blend, Aromabright also features peppermint, spearmint and cinnamon bark oils which give the Aromabright that sweet mint flavour, sweeter than the Thieves Ultra toothpaste. Aromabright has a sweeter flavour than the Thieves Ultra toothpaste. It's flavour is closer to supermarket toothpastes, which some people find to be more pleasing if they're accustomed to the flavour of supermarket brands of toothpaste.</div><div>Thieves Ultra has a stronger spicy Thieves oil flavour, best described as a cinnamon-clove flavour.</div><div>My personal preference is Thieves Ultra. I prefer it's flavour, I find the Thieves Aromabright and Thieves Dentrarome to be too sweet for my personal preference.</div><div>All of the Thieves toothpastes offer benefits. It really comes down to which one you like the flavour of best. You won't know that until you try them, so that's my suggestion for you to try both Aromabright and Thieves Ultra toothpaste for yourself.</div><div>If you haven't used herbal toothpastes before and you're in the process of switching from conventional toothpaste brands, then Aromabright is the one to try first, as it's sweeter in flavour. </div><div>If you've been using herbal toothpastes, try the Thieves Ultra toothpaste first. </div><div>Other articles you may be interested in:</div><div><div>Find out why <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Brushing-is-Not-Enough-Why-Conventional-Toothpastes-Dont-Work/ca3f/56d672ce0cf25a66a534248f">brushing is not enough, why conventional toothpastes don’t work</a></div><div>Find out if your <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Is-Your-Toothpaste-Making-You-Sick-The-Hidden-Health-Risks-of-Toothpaste/ca3f/56d687b80cf2bc6add156340">toothpaste is making you sick, the hidden dangers of toothpaste</a></div><div>Find out <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Conventional-Toothpaste-vs-Thieves-Toothpaste-Review/ca3f/56d956ce0cf249e9dfd1f2af">how Thieves Toothpaste compares with conventional toothpastes</a></div><div>Find out if <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Is-Toothpaste-Making-Your-Kids-Sick-The-Hidden-Health-Risks-of-Childrens-Toothpaste/ca3f/56d6a5610cf20d226f1b1186">toothpaste is making your kids sick, the hidden dangers of children's toothpaste</a></div><div>Find out the <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Mum-Alert-The-Dangers-of-Kids-Swallowing-Fluoride-in-Toothpaste/ca3f/56da14f50cf249e9dfd2e406">dangers of kids swallowing fluoride in toothpaste</a></div><div>Find a <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!KidScents-Toothpaste-Review/ca3f/56da55a70cf20d226f1f8323">safe children’s toothpaste with the KidsCents Slique Toothpaste review</a></div></div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><div>Looking to get your own Thieves Toothpaste?

It's common medical knowledge that the dirtiest place of the body is the mouth. Did you know the back of the tongue is literally teeming with pathogenic microorganisms.</div><div>Dr John Richter from the Richter Centre for The Diagnosis and Treatment of Breath Disorders says &quot;more bacteria per square inch live on the back of the tongue that any other part of the body&quot;. YUCKY!!</div><div>So here's the problem, few people use the toothbrush to remove those bacteria. So you might be thinking, I'll scrub the tongue clean. Though here's the rub, even if you scrubbed the tongue thoroughly, many bacteria would remain and quickly repopulate the mouth.</div><div>Bacterial, Fungal and Viral Presence</div><div>Most toothpastes work to prevent cavities by merely hardening the tooth enamel with fluoride or using abrasive salts to mechanically scrub away microorganisms from the teeth and gums.</div><div>However, brushing is not enough to eliminate bacterial, fungal and viral presence in the mouth. Microorganisms typically hide between teeth and under the tongue. </div><div>Whilst brushing removes some of the plaque and pathogens, it still leaves 40 to 70 perent of the microorganisms behind unscathed to later repopulate the mouth. </div><div>Oral hygiene could be vastly improved by adding proven and potent antiseptics to the toothpaste matrix, rather than relying on either fluoride or scrubbing.</div><div>Essential Oils to the Rescue</div><div>Essential oils are ideal for use in oral care products because they are both non-toxic and according to Dr Jean Valent </div><div>&quot;Essential Oils are especially valuable because of their aggression toward microbial germs is matched by their total harmlessness toward tissue&quot;. Dr Jean Valnet MD, used essential oils for decades in his clinical practice.</div><div>Check out Pubmed and Google to see the more than 100 clinical research studies on the effectiveness of essential oils in dental hygiene. Over 100 studies have been conducted on the essential oils and tooth decay and gingivitis.</div><div>According to Christine Charles in a study published by the Journal of the American Dental Association &quot;The efficacy of an essential-oil-containing mouth rinse has been demonstrated in numerous double-blind clinical studies.&quot;</div><div>What to use?</div><div>Here's what I use for dental hygience - the Thieves Ultra Toothpaste and the Thieves Mouthwash.</div><div>Why Thieves Toothpaste and Thieves Mouthwash?</div><div>Thieves toothpaste and Thieves mouthwash are an all natural toothpaste and mouthwash combination that feature the powerful Thieves essential oil blend. Thieves essential oil is a combination of clove, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus, lemon and rosemary therapeutic grade essential oils.</div><div>Thieves toothpaste isn't just toothpaste with all natural ingredients and essential oils.</div><div>The Thieves Ultra toothpaste features a special two-part essential oil system that has: </div><div>Anti-stain, whitening enzymesTime-released essential oil mouthwashA low-abrasion formula Special tartar-control agentsAll food-grade, edible ingredients</div><div>What's special about Thieves toothpaste is it's Patented Liposome Technology which binds the essential oils to the mucus membranes in the mouth for unmatched breath-freshening and oral hygiene. </div><div>The Thieves Mouthwash includes controlled-release liposomes that adhere tooth enamel and mucus membranes in the mouth.</div><div>The liposomes that adhere to dental enamel are used to improve dental health because they contian essential oil and active materials to prevent plaque formation and aid in dental health.These active materials are released slowly, for longer-lasting benefits.</div><div>What does that mean?

Most people do, though as fun as cruise ship holidays can be, most people who've been on a cruise ship have experienced or know someone who's fallen victim to 'Cruise Ship Gastro', the infamous cruise ship virus illness known as Norovirus. The last time I was on a cruise ship it was like a plague, so many people we met on the ship were struck down with Norovirus, they were dropping like flies. So what is Norovirus and what can you do about it to protect yourself<img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f527906d5cc74de4a0d5e95e91455cb9.jpg"/>]]></description><link>https://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/single-post/2016/02/25/Top-5-Must-Know-Tips-for-Protecting-Yourself-against-Cruise-Ship-Norovirus-Gastro-Illness</link><guid>https://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/single-post/2016/02/25/Top-5-Must-Know-Tips-for-Protecting-Yourself-against-Cruise-Ship-Norovirus-Gastro-Illness</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Feb 2016 07:54:21 +0000</pubDate><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f527906d5cc74de4a0d5e95e91455cb9.jpg"/><div>Do you love cruise ship holidays? Most people do, though as fun as cruise ship holidays can be, most people who've been on a cruise ship have experienced or know someone who's fallen victim to 'Cruise Ship Gastro', the infamous cruise ship virus illness known as Norovirus. The last time I was on a cruise ship it was like a plague, so many people we met on the ship were struck down with Norovirus, they were dropping like flies.</div><div>So what is Norovirus and what can you do about it to protect yourself next time you're on a cruise ship holiday. </div><div>What is Norovirus?</div><div>Norovirus causes the stomach or intestines or both to get inflamed (acute gastroenteritis). This leads to stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomitting.</div><div>How do you contract NoroVirus?Noroviruses are very infectious and can spread easily from person-to-person. Both faeces and vomit are infectious. People can become infected with the virus in several ways, including:</div><div>touching surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus and then placing their hands in their mouth, or eating before washing their handseating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with norovirus by food handlers who have not washed their hands adequately or from environmental contaminationhaving direct contact with another person who is infected, for example, when caring for someone with illness, or sharing foods or eating utensils with someone who is ill.</div><div>Signs and symptoms of Cruise Ship Norovirus<div>Norovirus infection causes gastroenteritis. Illness often begins suddenly and symptoms usually last 1 or 2 days. However, during that brief period people can feel very ill and vomit, often violently and without warning, many times a day. Common symptoms include nausea , vomiting , diarrhoea , abdominal cramps.  Other symptoms may include: headache , low grade fever , chills , muscle aches  and a general sense of tiredness.</div></div><div>How do the Germs Spread?</div><div>It's not the cruise ships that cause the illness. Norovirus happens on land too. Most people know that any place with thousands of people in a confirmed space, you're going to be exposed to germs. It's the large number of people in close proximity that make cruise ships a hot bed for norovirus. So it's not the ships that are sick; it's the folks who came onboard and pass the illness around. Norovirus is, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one of the most contagious gastrointestinal illnesses in the world. </div><div>Restrooms both cruise cabin restrooms and public restrooms are filled with germs. Though as 'ikky' as toilet seats can be, the greatest safety risk doesn't actually come from sitting on the toilet seat, it's what's lurking in the rest of the bathroom that is cause of concern. </div><div>Did you know that every time the toilet is flushed, it launches a ploom of germ filled droplets into the air, that travel upto 2 metres. Those germ filled droplets land on the person using the toilet and the surfaces in the restroom. </div><div>Norovirus germs can survive on surfaces for upto 2 weeks, even after surfaces have been cleaned! </div><div>All of those germs get on people's hands that they then spread onto every surface they touch. The germs are on the toilet flush, on the door knobs, the taps and the door handles, which you and your cruise ship companions then spread to all parts of the ship - from the TV remote control, to mobile phones, the dining tables, the buttons in the elevators, the stair wells. You name a surface in a cruise ship - it's been touched by thousands of germ-ridden hands. </div><div>When you touch a surface in the cruise ship that's contamined with norovirus and then place your hands in your mouth or eat before washing your hands - bingo, you're potentially next inline to be struck down with norovirus.</div><div>Of course, not every person exposed to norovirus will come down with the virus or symptoms. Some people's immune systems will fend off the attack. Though many people on cruise ships, even those with good health, succumb to this dreaded illness.</div><div>What about washing hour hands, doesn't that get rid of the germs? </div><div>Even if you wash your hands, you may not do it properly, says Tierno, author of The Secret Life of Germs. &quot;Some individuals move their hands quickly under a flow of water for only a second or so, and they don't use soap. That's not going to do much good.&quot;</div><div>Washing the hands is important, though statistics show that 95% of peopole don't wash their hands properly. “Around 60 percent of women wash their hands properly, while the number is much lower for men, at around 30 percent at most,” says Jason Tetro, author of the Germ Code.</div><div>And even if a person does wash their hands properly, unless they continue to sanitise their hands through out the day, each time they touch a cruise ship surface, they are potentially re-exposed to the germs. </div><div>So what can you do to protect yourself?The answer isn't to call off your cruise ship vacation. No one wants to do that. Though there are steps you can take to protect yourself to reduce the risk...</div><div>Tip 1 - When you arrive in the cruise cabin, do a sanitising spritz.</div><div>Spray or wipe the TV remote control, light switches, door handles, shower knobs, toilet seat and tap with a sanitiser.</div><div>I use the Young Living Thieves Spray, it fits in the travel bag easily and is a powerful sanitiser. </div><div>The Thieves Wipes are also a great option for cleaning and sanitising cruise cabin surfaces.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_4b194cc54eb74cdb80522041d695c483.jpg"/><div>Tip 2 - Spray or wipe the toilet seat and bathroom surfaces in your cruise cabin and in public rest rooms with a sanitiser</div><div>Again, I use the Thieves Spray or the Thieves Wipes for toilet seat sanitising.</div><div>Flush with the lid down on the toilet seat or exit the cubicle quickly after flushing</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_379cabf9286f4c4fb829a16430ad212f.jpg"/><div>Tip 3 - Wash your hands thoroughly after you use the toilet</div><div>Make sure to use soap not just water. Though on a separte health topic, most anti-bacterial hand soaps used in cruise ships and public restrooms contain harmful chemicals, including triclosan, which has been linked to host of health problems including hormone disruption and infertility.</div><div>Instead of using the chemical soaps, I use theYoung Living waterless hand purifier. It's small compact size makes it perfect to fit in the travel bag or handbag. </div><div>With the Thieves waterless hand purifier, it's designed for use in public restrooms and travel. It's a waterless hand wash, meaning you don't need to use water. </div><div>I simply use a small dollop of the Thieves waterless hand purifier, rub the hands together. Plus, it smells great and doesn't dry the skin. </div><div>If I don't have the Thieves waterless hand purifier handy, I use an essential oil drop on the hands to clean and cleanse, either Thieves essential oil or lemon essential oil.</div><div>Wash your hands before eating</div><div>We've talked about what cleaning the hands in the restroom, though your hands are coming into contact with potentially contaimined cruise ship surfaces all day long.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f0d0297a2f7e4f5bb3773d70a25ec842.jpg"/><div>Tip 4 - Sanitise your hands before eating</div><div>Before eating, and before putting your hands near your mouth or eyes (germs travel very easily through the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and eyes), wash or sanitise your hands.</div><div>Again, I carry the Thieves Waterless purifier for this. It's compact size allows it to easily fit in my pocket or hand bag. I simply use a dollop of the gel on my hands at the dining table before eating.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_246fdacb7393428a94d79f4fa9aa30c7.jpg"/><div>Tip 5</div><div>Other steps you can take include avoid eating uncooked food as much as possible. Stick to bottled water, and don't share drinking glasses and eating utensils.</div><div>Hopefully by using these 5 tips, your next cruise ship vacation will be a safe and healthy one.</div><div>What is Thieves Spray?

Let's break it down to see the real threats with public toilets and what you can do to protect yourself.</div><div>Yes, toilet seats are covered in germs. Some people perform hovering acrobatics to avoid touching the toilet seat. Though as 'ikky' as toilet seats can be, the greatest safety risk doesn't actually come from sitting on the toilet seat, it's what's lurking in the rest of the public restroom that is cause of concern. The germs on the toilet flush, on the door knobs, the taps and the door handles.</div><div>How can those other surfaces be worse than the toilet seat? Did you know that every time the toilet is flushed, it launches a ploom of germ filled droplets into the air, that travel upto 2 metres. And some of those germs can survive for up to 2 months!</div><div>Those germ filled droplets land on the person using the toilet and the surfaces in the restroom.</div><div>When at home, closing the toilet lid helps to reduce the spread of germs, though many public restroom toilets don't have lids, or people rarely close them. </div><div>All of those germs get on people's hands that they spread onto every surface they touch in the restroom, the flush, the door handles, the tap and the drier.</div><div>What about washing hour hands, doesn't that get rid of the germs? </div><div>Even if you wash your hands, you may not do it properly, says Tierno, author of The Secret Life of Germs. &quot;Some individuals move their hands quickly under a flow of water for only a second or so, and they don't use soap. That's not going to do much good.&quot;</div><div>Washing the hands is important, though statistics show that 95% of peopole don't wash their hands properly. “Around 60 percent of women wash their hands properly, while the number is much lower for men, at around 30 percent at most,” says Jason Tetro, author of the Germ Code. By washing properly, he means wetting your hands with warm water, adding soap, scrubbing for 15 to 20 seconds, rinsing with warm water, then drying.</div><div>Then there's the sink and tap itself. Studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson found that sinks are the greatest reservoir of germ colonies in restrooms, thanks in part to accumulations of water that become breeding grounds for tiny organisms.</div><div>Unless there's an automatic tap in the restroom, when your freshly washed 'clean hands' come into contact with the tap again, you're re-exposed to all those germs.</div><div>Then you're re-exposed again when leaving the rest room. All of the hygience protocols can be undone when touching the exit door. </div><div>“The door handles and push plates of public bathrooms are incredibly contaminated,&quot; says Tetro. &quot;For men, they’re usually contaminated with fecal bacteria. When I study the women’s, they’re usually contaminated with yeast.”</div><div>We've talked about where the germs are. Though what risk do all these germs pose to your health? The chances of catching an STD from sitting on a public toilet seat is very low. Though there are many germs that do pose a health risk.</div><div>Gut infection – Faecal-borne bacteria including E. coli, streptococcus, staphylococcus and shigella are the most abundant bugs found in a public toilet. Contamination of surfaces by an infected person’s faeces can transmit their infections.</div><div>Some strains of E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria can cause bloody diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.Shigella bacterium causes severe diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and dysentery, etc.</div><div>E.coli (Escherichia coli) is fecal-borne bacteria, and when you're talking about toilets, you're in the right neighborhood for contamination. E. coli is a bacteria that's normally found in our intestines, and if you're accidentally exposed to it -- usually from contaminated water or food, but it's been known to cling to nonporous surfaces, too -- you could be struck down with diarrhea (sometimes bloody), abdominal cramping and vomiting.</div><div>Gastrointestinal viruses such as norovirus (which is the infamous cruise ship crew curse), also cause stomach distress, and similar to E. coli, they are easily transmitted from person to person. Norovirus has been found contaminating nonporous surfaces, including toilet seats, for as long as two weeks (and that's despite those surfaces having been cleaned)</div><div>Shigella bacteria passes very easily among people, especially when you forget to wash your hands (or if you're among the 95 percent of people who don't correctly wash their hands). Shigellosis causes infectious, severe diarrhea, abdominal cramping and other gastrointestinal distress that may last for about a week And while the bacteria are most infectious during the diarrhea phase of the condition, they remain willing and able to infect you for weeks after their host is feeling better.</div><div>Shigella infections, similar to E. coli, happen when an infected person's feces contaminates a surface -- and, yes, those surfaces include toilets, toilet handles and toilet seats. You can also become infected if you consume contaminated food or water handled by an infected person who hasn't practiced good hygiene.</div><div>Lung and skin infections</div><div>Streptococcus can cause contagious throat and skin infections.Staphylococcus bacteria that cause skin infections, pneumonia and food poisoning linger around on toilet surfaces for longer periods, increasing the chances of disease transmission.About 39 percent of toilet seats harbor this nasty bug [source:Shoemaker].</div><div>Staph (Staphylococcus) likes to hang around, and it can contaminate a nonporous surface for longer than you may expect. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), for example, can live on a toilet seat -- and any nonporous part of a toilet -- for more than two months. And it only takes as few as three seconds for it to transmit from a seat to your skin [source:Clinical Infectious Diseases]. </div><div>Yeast Infections - There is a slight chance toilets can harbour yeast populations at the front of the bowl, &quot;and it can possibly touch the genitals. If that happens, there is a likelihood that you can come up with an infection.&quot; said Tetro. These are usually present in washrooms used by women.</div><div>So what can you do to protect yourself?We all need to use public restrooms at some point. The answer isn't to cross out legs and wait until we get home. Though there are steps you can take to protect yourself from the 'ik factor' and the health risks that public toilets pose.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_ffaec939ef434590bcfc306ede7a6ea7.png"/><div>Spray or wipe the toilet seat with a sanitiser</div><div>I use the Young Living Thieves Spray, it fits in the handbag easily and is a powerful sanitiser. </div><div>The Thieves Wipes are also a great option for cleaning and sanitising public toilets seats.</div><div>Use toilet paper to press the flush button.</div><div>Flush with the lid down on the toilet seat or exit the cubicle quickly after flushing</div><div>Wash your hands thoroughly after you use the toilet. </div><div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_322399c002ea41adbf769ba516091926.jpg"/>Make sure to use soap not just water. Though on a separte health topic, most anti-bacterial hand soaps used in public restrooms contain harmful chemicals, including triclosan, which has been linked to host of health problems including hormone disruption and infertility.</div><div>Instead of using the chemical soaps in rest rooms, I use theYoung Living waterless hand purifier. It's small compact size makes it perfect to fit in the handbag. </div><div>With the Thieves waterless hand purifier, it's designed for use in public restrooms and travel. It's a waterless hand wash, meaning you don't need to use water. By using the Thieves waterless hand purifier, we can avoid touching the germ-ridden taps, sink and drier.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_c346e50fbd0042f99f563f3e9261e110.jpg"/><div>I simply use a small dollop of the Thieves waterless hand purifier, rub the hands together. Plus, it smells great and doesn't dry the skin. </div><div>If I don't have the Thieves waterless hand purifier handy, I use an essential oil drop on the hands to clean and cleanse, either Thieves essential oil or lemon essential oil.</div><div>What is Thieves Spray?

That's an easy answer, if your kids have teeth, they can use KidScents toothpaste. KidScents toothpaste can be used by anyone with teeth, from babies to children of all ages.</div><div>Before we look at the ingredients that are featured in KidScents Toothpaste, let's look at what's not in KidScents toothpaste.</div><div>There's no artificial colours. No artificial sweeteners. No fluoride. No DEA. No Triclosan. No SLS.</div><div>Unlike with conventional toothpastes, mum's don't need to worry if kids swallow some of the KidScents toothpaste, as the ingredients aren't harmful. It's not suggested that kids intentionally swallow toothpaste, though all mums know that kids are swallowing some of the toothpaste, this gives mums the peace-of-mind knowing their kids are completely safe using the KidScents toothpaste.</div><div>The KidScents Slique toothpaste features Thieves essential oil blend and Slique Essence essential oil blend to gently clean and protect teeth.</div><div>Thieves blend is a combination of Young Living clove, cinnamon, rosemary, lemon and eucalyptus therapeutic grade essential oils.</div><div>Slique is a blend of grapefruit, spearmint, tangerine, lemon and ocotea therapeutic grade essential oils, together with stevia. The Slique essential oil blend gives this toothpaste a sweet kid-friendly flavour.</div><div>Essential oils are ideal for use in oral care products because they are both non-toxic and according to Dr Jean Valent </div><div>&quot;Essential Oils are especially valuable because of their aggression toward microbial germs is matched by their total harmlessness toward tissue&quot;. Dr Jean Valnet MD, used essential oils for decades in his clinical practice.</div><div>Check out Pubmed and Google to see the more than 100 clinical research studies on the effectiveness of essential oils in dental hygiene. Over 100 studies have been conducted on the essential oils and tooth decay and gingivitis.</div><div>When it comes to tooth enamel, most conventional toothpastes use particles that are too large and too harsh on teeth, causing damage to enamel rather than protecting it.</div><div>KidScents toothpaste uses ultrafine calcium carbonate, a natural tooth-health agent, to gently scrub plaque and debris from teeth without damaging enamel.</div><div>KidScents toothpaste also contians xylitol, recognised to be great for teeth health.</div><div>The all natural ingredients in KidScents toothpaste are deionized water, virgin coconut oil, baking soda, calcium carbonate, sunflower lecithin, vegetable glycerin, xanthan gum, xylitol, grapefruit (citrus paradisi), tangerine (citrus reticulata) lemon (citrus limon) spearmint (mentha spicata), ocotea (ocotea quixos) clove ( syzguim aromaticum) lemon (citrus limon) cinnamon bark (cinnamomum verum) eucalyptus radiata (eucalyptus radiata) rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis), stevia-rebaudioside A (stevia rebaudiana)</div><div>KidScents Toothpaste Fits in the Family Budget</div><div>When using KidScents toothpaste, only a small amount is needed per use. You don't need to cover the entire toothbrush in toothpaste like you see on the toothpaste TV ads. A small pea sized amount is all that's needed. Using a small pea-sized amount makes using KidScents toothpaste cost effective, as the tube lasts a lot longer.</div><div>Other articles you may be interested in:</div><div><div>Find out why <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Brushing-is-Not-Enough-Why-Conventional-Toothpastes-Dont-Work/ca3f/56d672ce0cf25a66a534248f">brushing is not enough, why conventional toothpastes don’t work</a></div><div>Find out if your <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Is-Your-Toothpaste-Making-You-Sick-The-Hidden-Health-Risks-of-Toothpaste/ca3f/56d687b80cf2bc6add156340">toothpaste is making you sick, the hidden dangers of toothpaste</a></div><div>Find out how <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Conventional-Toothpaste-vs-Thieves-Toothpaste-Review/ca3f/56d956ce0cf249e9dfd1f2af">Thieves Toothpaste compares with conventional toothpastes</a></div><div>Find out which Thieves toothpaste is for you in the <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Thieves-Toothpaste-Review/ca3f/56da79d40cf20d226f1f9853">Thieves Toothpaste Review</a></div><div>Find out if <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Is-Toothpaste-Making-Your-Kids-Sick-The-Hidden-Health-Risks-of-Childrens-Toothpaste/ca3f/56d6a5610cf20d226f1b1186">toothpaste is making your kids sick, the hidden dangers of children's toothpaste</a></div><div>Find out the <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Mum-Alert-The-Dangers-of-Kids-Swallowing-Fluoride-in-Toothpaste/ca3f/56da14f50cf249e9dfd2e406">dangers of children swallowing fluoride in toothpaste</a></div></div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><div>Looking to get your own KidScents Toothpaste ?

For children 1 drop under each foot.</div><div>Thieves oil can also be applied to other areas of the body including the chest. </div><div>To dilute or not to dilute?Thieves oil has a warming sensation on the skin, due to the cinnamon and clove oils in the Thieves blend. Some people use the Thieves oil undiluted on the skin - meaning they apply the drops of Thieves oil directly to the skin. Whereas other people dilute Thieves oil before application to the skin. </div><div>Which method should you use? Some people find the Thieves oil a little too warming on the skin if they apply Thieves oil on parts of the body besides the feet. If that's you, or you if you have sensitive skin or for elderly people, you may choose to dilute Thieves. To do that, either apply the Thieves oil to the skin then apply some vegetable carrier oil over the top. Or, dilute Thieves essential oil with a vegetable carrier oil, such as olive, coconut or sweet almond oil, or Young Living's V6 carrier oil, before applying Thieves to the skin. One drop of Thieves oil to 4 to 5 drops of carrier oil.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_bb27cbfc26c14957a0bf8698f00a474d.jpg"/><div>Mum Tip: For young children under the age of 8, it's generally recommended that essential oils be diluted before applying to the skin. If using Thieves oil with children, here's how to make it easy to apply a diluted mix of Thieves oil. Add Thieves essential oil drops to an empty essential oil bottle. Fill the remainder of the bottle with vegetable carrier oil. Then apply an Aromaglide rollerball fitment (available from Young Living) to the top of the bottle. That makes applying pre-diluted essential oils easy.</div><div>Thieves oil can be used in small amounts (for example 1 or 2 drops) per application during pregnancy.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_ce5569b92886408eb079f383e933d847.jpg"/><div>A great way to benefit from essential oils is through inhalation. The essential oil can be smelled from the bottle or it can be used through a diffuser. </div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_c258bfebadf54808a3dec38de6ecf32b.jpg"/><div> Diffusing essential oils is a great way to be able to clean and purify the air. It's also a great way for us to be able to breathe the essential oils into the lungs and respiratory system.</div><div>By diffusing Thieves essential oil, it cleans and purifies the air and kills airborne pathogens. Plus is smells great! </div><div>To diffuse Thieves, follow the directions for your style of diffuser. For example, if using a Dew Drop, Home Diffuser or Aria diffuser, add 6 to 10 drops of Thieves essential oil, combined with water to the diffuser. If you're using the AromaLux diffuser, insert the Thieves essential oil bottle directly into the diffuser. Or diffuse Thieves from your USB diffuser from your computer. </div><div>For the first time you experience diffusing Thieves, diffuse for a short period of time of 10 to 15 minutes, approximately 3 times a day. Once you've done that for a few days, your body will have become more accustomed to therapeutic grade essential oils, and you can then diffuse Thieves for a longer period of time. Most people choose to diffuse Thieves for 30 minutes, a few times a day.</div><div>If you're looking to combat airborne pathogens, particularly during the colder months of the year, Thieves oil can be diffused throughout the day and/or overnight.</div><div>It's recommended that only cold-air diffusers be used for diffusing therapeutic grade essential oils, to ensure that the full therapeutic value of the oil is maintained. Using an 'oil burner' that applies heat through a candle or heated device, can lessen the therapeutic value of a therapeutic grade essential oils.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_50cea04a55724fc4bbf409c362c8a970.jpg"/><div>The directions for using Thieves oil internally will depend upon the country you live in.

Some reports say that essential oils should not be used internally. And that is good advice for most brands of essential oils, as most brands of essential oils, even brands labelled as '100% pure' or 'organic' are not suited for internal use and could be harmful if ingested.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_c5ac7f7a592d41e3b15048f41937929d.png"/><div>What about Young Living Frankincense essential oil? Can it be used internally?</div><div>The guidelines for using Young Living Frankincense essential oil depend upon each country, as each country has different government regulations and classifications for essential oil usage.</div><div>In the United States, Young Living Frankincense Vitality Essential Oil is classified as a “Dietary Supplement”. You will see Young Living's Frankincense Vitality essential oil listed for use internally, in capsules as dietary supplements and for use in food and drinks. </div><div>In Australia, essential oils are regulated differently to the USA. In Australia, you will see reference to the use of Young Living Frankincense essential oil topically, aromatically, for use in cooking for flavouring food and drinks and used in Young Living's nutritional supplements. For example, Young Living Frankincense essential oil is used in Young Living's Longevity capsule supplement which is listed with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_77eced337ae34be585de7d47d3b1e77c.jpg"/><div>For Young Living Frankincense essential oil, the labels in each country are based upon the government requirements in that country. So in the USA you'll see the white Vitality Frankincense label. In Australia you'll see a red Frankincense label.</div><div>Though just note that Young Living Frankincense oil in the USA, is the same Young Living essential oil in Australia. So the Young Living Frankincense Vitality essential oil, is the same Frankincense essential oil in the Young Living Frankincense essential oil bottles in Australia.

Here, we'll be exposing the health dangers of fluoride in children's toothpaste.</div><div>Most mums are <div>shocked to find out that most commercial brands of children's toothpastes at the supermarket contain harmful chemicals that have been linked to all sorts of health problems. See the<a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Is-Toothpaste-Making-Your-Kids-Sick-The-Hidden-Health-Risks-of-Childrens-Toothpaste/ca3f/56d6a5610cf20d226f1b1186">Hidden Dangers of Kids Toothpaste article here</a> to see the health risks associated with chemicals in kids toothpaste. In this article, we're focussing on fluoride.</div></div><div>Fluoride is an ingredients in most conventional children's toothpastes.</div><div>The FDA and toothpaste manufacturers know the ingredients in children's toothpaste are dangerous, that's why in the USA toothpastes are required to have a warning label that warns <div>it’s not safe to swallow. Some labels warn to call poison control if swallowed!</div></div><div>If you're from the USA, you'll have seen those toothpaste warning labels, though if you're from other parts of the world, including Australia, you won't have seen those warning labels on toothpastes, as the Australian government doesn't require that warning on labels. Yet, we have the same toothpaste brands with the same ingredients in the toothpastes. </div><div>Fluoride is categorized as a “toxic drug” by the FDA. <div>Swallowing fluoride, as is the case with fluoridated drinking water and using fluoridated toothpastes, is especially detrimental to health, as the science demonstrates that fluoride is a toxic chemical that accumulates in the tissues over time and produces a number of serious adverse health effects, including neurological and endocrine dysfunction, brittle bones, mottled teeth, behavioural changes and an increased risk of osteosacoma (bone cancer).</div></div><div>In addition to being one of the main ingredients in toothpaste as well as rat and cockroach poisons, sodium fluoride is also a key component in anesetic, hypnotic, and psychiatric drugs and sarin nerve gas! [2]</div><div>Surprisingly, fluoride has NEVER been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA. Children are particularly at risk for adverse effects of overexposure. If you have a young child, it’s recommended that you use a non-fluoride toothpaste.</div><div><div>Mercola.com states that fluoride toothpaste is often the largest single source of fluoride intake for young children and is a major risk factor for disfiguring dental fluorosis. This is because children swallow a large amount of the paste that they put in their mouth. </div>In fact, research has shown that it is not uncommon for young children to swallow more fluoride from toothpaste alone than is recommended as an entire day's ingestion from all sources.</div><div><div>Children should not use adult toothpastes that contain fluoride. Adult toothpastes contain as much as 1,000 ppm fluoride, 1ppm being the supposed ‘safe’ concentration to fluoridate water as this will cause them to ingest fluoride at a level that can cause fluorosis – mottling, brown or white spots of the permanent teeth. </div>This is becoming much more widespread now, and if the child is living in a fluoridated water area, drinking tap water or having formula made up with fluoridated water then they will more than likely be ingesting too much fluoride.[3]</div><div>In children and youth, minimal ingestion of sodium fluoride causes salivation, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, and diarrhea. Large doses of the carcinogen may cause paralysis, muscular weakness, followed by respiratory and cardiac failure.</div><div>What is Dental Fluorosis?</div><div>Dental fluorosis is a deformity in the tooth enamel caused by excessive Fluoride intake by children in their first 8 years. In its mild forms it shows up as cloudy white patches and streaks on the teeth. In moderate to severe it shows up as brown mottling to black staining. This seems to be more extreme with children that also drink Fluoridated water.</div><div>Toxic effects of fluoride can cause conditions such as brittle bones, permanent tooth discolouration (dental fluorosis), behavioural changes, stomach ailments, skin rashes (such as periodontal dermatitis), impairment in glucose metabolism and an increased risk of osteosacoma (bone cancer).

Though when going green, make sure that the product you choose is not only fluoride-free, that it's chemical free too.

Some labels warn to call poison control if swallowed!</div></div><div>Every mum knows that their kids are swallowing some of that toothpaste.</div><div>If you're from the USA, you'll have seen those toothpaste warning labels, though if you're from other parts of the world, including Australia, you won't have seen those warning labels on toothpastes, as the Australian government doesn't require that warning on labels. Yet, we have the same toothpaste brands with the same ingredients in the toothpastes. </div><div>Everybody knows mums want to keep their kids safe, so when mums hear this for the first time, a series of emotions occur. First, surprise that toxic ingredients would be allowed in children's products. Followed by anger that this information isn't disclosed. Next comes confusion about what to use instead.</div><div>Let's explore how to keep your kids teeth clean whilst keeping them safe. </div><div>When shopping for children's toothpaste, here's a list of chemicals to avoid and why:</div><div>Flouride</div><div>Fluoride is categorized as a “toxic drug” by the FDA. Swallowing fluoride, as is the case with fluoridated drinking water and using fluoridated toothpates, is especially detrimental to health, as the science demonstrates that fluoride is a toxic chemical that accumulates in the tissues over time and produces a number of serious adverse health effects, including neurological and endocrine dysfunction, brittle bones, mottled teeth, behavioural changes and an increased risk of osteosacoma (bone cancer). Children are particularly at risk for adverse effects of overexposure. If you have a young child, it’s recommended that you use a non-fluoride toothpaste.</div><div>Triclosan</div><div>Included in most conventional toothpastes is used as an antibacterial agent. It has been linked to many health problems including thyroid problems, hormonal disruption, infertility and it may cause cancer. The American Medical Association suggests triclosan not be used in the home as it may encourage bacterial resistance to antibiotics. </div><div>Researchers at Virginia Tech have found that triclosan, when mixed with chlorine as found in tap water, forms chloroform. Every time you brush your teeth with toxic toothpaste and tap water, you are creating a highly toxic chemical reaction directly in your mouth. </div><div>Toothpaste appears to be one of the most potent delivery vehicles for the chemical, as research found people who brushed their teeth with Colgate Total had more than five times as much triclosan in their urine as those who did not. [1]</div><div>SLS Sodium Laurel Sulphate</div><div>A common ingredient in toothpastes, SLS is a surfactant used to create the foaming action. SLS is readily absorbed in the body and is considered a carcinogen. It can also cause skin and eye irritations, hormone imbalances, denaturing of structural proteins, canker sores and mouth ulcers. According to the Journal of the American College of Toxicology Vol 2 No 7 1983, SLS can act as a mutagen, meaning that in suffucient amounts it is capable of changing genetic informaiton found in cells. SLS can damage the immune system and cause skin inflammation or damage</div><div>Artificial Sweeteners</div><div>Artificial sweeteners like saccharin, sorbitol, and aspartame are added to the toothpastes to mask the horrible chemical taste. Saccharin is manufactured from petroleum products. Formaldehyde is a by-product of aspartame. These artificial sweeteners can cause side effects like: headaches, dizziness, mood changes, vomiting or nausea, abdominal pains, diarrhea, seizures, memory loss, fatigue, numbness, joint pain, depression, anxiety, blurred vision, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, systemic lupus and various cancers.</div><div>Colours</div><div>Colours often included toothpastes are FD &amp; C Blue Dye # 1 &amp; 2.</div><div>These can cause behavioural, learning &amp; developmental problems in susceptible people, particularly children. They can also trigger allergies, asthma, headaches and are a potential cancer risk. </div><div>Diethanolamine (DEA)</div><div>Diethanolamine (DEA), is in products that foam like toothpaste. DEA disrupts hormones and forms cancer-causing nitrates. Dr. Samuel Epstein, professor of environmental health at University of Illinois, states that repeated exposure to skin may lead to increased risk of liver and kidney cancers. A 2006 study from the University of North Carolina found potential danger from DEA in fetal brain development and miscarriage risk. </div><div>The Environmental Working Group (EWG) ranks DEA as a number 10 in its cosmetics database (the most toxic score) due to high concerns of organ system toxicity, contamination concerns and irritation, along with moderate cancer risk. The California Environmental Protection Agency lists DEA as a possible human carcinogen. DEA is listed on ingredient labels as Cocomide DEA (Diethanolamine), DEA Laurtyl Sulfate, Lauramide DEA, Linoleamind DEA, Oleamide DEA or TEA (Triethanolamine).</div><div>Choosing a Safe Children's Toothpaste?The list of health risks from fluoride in children's toothpastes is enough for every health conscious mum to look to switch to a green toothpaste. Though when going green, make sure that the product you choose is not only fluoride-free, that it's chemical free too. Unfortunately some companies are jumping on the 'green bandwagon' offering products that aren't as green as you would hope. You need to choose a company you can trust.

Products such as bleach, glass cleaner, detergents and air fresheners exacerbated asthma-related symptoms and the people's reduced lung function lasted until the morning after exposure, in some cases getting worse with time.&quot; </div><div>Bathroom cleaners containing bleach (sodium hypochlorite), sodium hydroxide, or phosphoric acid can irritate lungs and burn eyes and skin. The corrosive ingredients in toilet bowl cleaners are severe eye, skin and respiratory irritants. Some toilet bowl cleaners contain sulfates, which can trigger asthma attacks.</div><div>Let's explore the the top 5<div>hidden dangers in bathroom cleaners for people with asthma. </div>Then we'll explore what you can do to avoid these asthma triggers.</div><div>1. Bleach, Ammonia and Mould Cleaners </div><div>Found in Bathroom Cleaners and Toilet Bowl Cleaners</div><div><div>Ingredients with high acute toxicity include chlorine bleach and ammonia, which produce fumes that are highly irritating to lungs, throat, eyes and nose, and </div>should not be used by people with asthma or lung problems<div>. Serious side effects of using bleach can include respiratory problems, skin burns, damage to the nervous system, asthma flares, extreme headaches, migraines, and vomiting. </div></div><div>The most serious hazard of bleach to our bodies is that when mixed with ammonia, vinegar, or any other acid type cleaning material, it can cause dangerous, toxic fumes to be emitted into the air to form lung-damaging gases. Combining products that contain chlorine and ammonia produces chloramine gases, while chlorine combined with acids (commonly used in toilet bowl cleaners) forms toxic chlorine gas. These toxins can cause serious, sometimes deadly, side effects when inhaled.</div><div>2. Fragrances and Phthalates</div><div>More than 3000 chemicals are used in fragrance mixtures. Fragrances are common ingredients in bathroom cleaners. Many are irritants and can trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma symptoms.</div><div>3. Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (Quats) </div><div>Found in bathroom cleaning products Irritants and sansitizers that can induce an allergic response following contact with the skin. Quats are also known to cause occupational asthma in cleaning workers and preliminary evidence indicates they may cause adverse genetic and reproductive effects.</div><div>4. Sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate</div><div>Found in toilet bowl cleaners It's corrosive and known to be a severe eye, skin and respiratory irritant. It can also form chlorine gas, which will burn the eyes, nose and mouth. Studies have found that high doses of this chemical cause kidney damage. </div><div>5. Sodium hydroxide (also known as lye and caustic soda)</div><div>Found in toilet bowl cleaners and bathroom cleaners Highly corrosive. Can burn the eyes, skin and lungs and is a respiratory irritant. Long-term exposure in the air may lead to ulceration of the nasal passages and chronic skin irritation. [3]</div><div>What can you do about it?</div><div>You still need to clean. But what can you use instead of the supermarket cleaners? </div><div>Switching to 'green' is the way to go to avoid these toxic asthma trigger cleaner chemicals. Though when looking for green cleaning alternatives, you still need to read the labels, as not all products are as 'green' as they claim to be. Unfortunately there are no labelling laws for green products, so products labeled as 'organic' or 'green friendly' may still contain harmful chemicals. </div><div>So you either need to find a product that's been given a green seal of approval by an independent body, or, make your own cleaning products.</div><div>My personal choice for cleaning is the <div>Thieves Household Cleaner from Young Living</div><div>. It contains all-natural plant-based ingredients and can be used for all bathroom cleaning purposes from sanitising bathroom surfaces to toilet bowl cleaning, removing mould and cleaning soap-scum and hard-water buildup on showers and tubs.

However, with an ingredient such as vinegar, although it's acidic pH of 5 will act as a disinfectant, killing some pathogens, it won't kill all pathogens. That's where essential oils come to the forefront. Adding Thieves essential oil, a powerful sanitising blend of Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils of clove, cinnamon, lemon, rosemary and eucalyptus will increase the effectiveness of the DIY vinegar cleaner as a disinfectant. </div><div>Thieves oil is the ultimate essential oil to use in DIY cleaning products for the bathroom.

The dead skin cells that sit on inside of the tub can be contaminated. If someone with a cut or open wound goes in the tub, those organisms can infect that wound and increase the overall load of bacteria.&quot;</div><div>Bleach however poses a series of health hazards and concerns.</div><div>&quot;Exposure to bleach<div>can irritate the nose, eyes, skin, and lungs. Serious side effects of using bleach can include respiratory problems, skin burns, damage to the nervous system, asthma flares, extreme headaches, migraines, and vomiting. The most serious hazard of bleach to our bodies is that when mixed with ammonia, vinegar, or any other acid type cleaning material, it can cause dangerous, toxic fumes to be emitted into the air. These toxins can cause serious, sometimes deadly, side effects when inhaled. Bleach is toxic to people, animals and our environment. Bleach is particularly harmful to infants, young children and pets because their immune systems cannot fight off the harsh chemicals.&quot;[1]</div></div><div>Given the health concerns of bleach, many people are looking to an all-natural bleach alternative.

Clean inside of toilet bowl and let sit for a few minutes before flushing.</div><div>To clean outside of toilets, mix 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner with 3 1/2 cups of water in a spray bottle.

Cleaning &amp; Sanitising Bathroom Surfaces</div><div>Everybody knows we need to keep our bathroom basins and surfaces clean and sanitised. Bathrooms are a breading ground for germs. Here's some of the germs lurking in bathrooms... </div><div>Gastrointestinal viruses that cause stomach ailments in humans. These include the norovirus, which you may have heard of in connection with cruise ship outbreaks. These viruses aren't just on cruise ships, they can be on your toilet seat as well. Gastrointestinal viruses &quot;are easily transmitted and can remain on a solid surface for as much as a week,&quot; according to Philip Tierno, Jr., PhD, director of clinical microbiology and diagnostic immunology at Tisch Hospital, New York University Medical Center.</div><div>Enteric pathogens, which are organisms spread by contaminated foods and be carried in feces. These include things like E. coli, salmonella, shigella, and campylobacter. E. coli O157:H7 is particularly nasty, causing severe diarrhoea with bloody stools.&quot;</div><div>Skin and respiratory organisms, such as staphylococcus aureus (staph) bacteria, including the antibiotic resistant MRSA strain, and Group A Strep, known as the &quot;flesh-eating&quot; bacteria.</div><div>Dermatophitic fungi, like athlete's foot, transmitted by walking barefoot in the bathroom.</div><div>&quot;Half of all bathroom taps have cold and flu viruses when someone has a cold or flu&quot; according to Chuck Gerba, PhD, microbiology professor at the University of Arizona. The rhinoviruses that cause colds can survive up to three hours, so cleaning surfaces with disinfectant may help stop infections, according to the National Institutes of Health.</div><div>Other residual fungi like mould and mildew. &quot;They [mould and mildew] don't cause infection, but they can exacerbate asthma and allergies&quot; according to Tierno.</div><div>Scary stuff! Though there's no need to evacuate the bathroom. It simply means you need to clean! If you clean regularly there's little risk from the bathroom germs. &quot;Only about 1%-2% of all germs are pathogenic, meaning they can make us sick,&quot; says Tierno. &quot;There's a possibility you can catch something, but if you practice good personal, household, and food hygiene, you're at pretty low risk.&quot;</div><div>Make it a regular part of your routine to clean bathroom surfaces. Clean taps, cupboard handles, shower door handles, doorknobs and any other area that you touch with your hands.</div><div>Mix 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner with 3 1/2 cups of water in a spray bottle.</div><div>To clean and sanitise bathroom surfaces, spray the bathroom basin and surfaces and wipe clean with a cloth or sponge.</div><div>Thieves Cleaner not only wipes through bathroom grime with ease, it smells great and doesn't contain any harmful chemicals, making the bathroom safe for you and your family.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f176fd705cde4fbabe9682137ccd72ec.jpg"/><div>5. Mould and Mildew</div><div>Bathrooms are a breading ground for mould and mildew. </div><div>Mould isn't just unsightly, it's linked to a host of health problems. Allergic reactions are the most common health effects of mould. Mould allergy symptoms include wheezing, sneezing, respiratory problems, runny nose, itching eyes and coughing.</div><div>According to the CDC Center for Disease Control and Prevention &quot;Excessive exposure to mould-contaminated materials can cause adverse health effects in susceptible persons regardless of the type of mould or the extent of contamination.&quot;[2] </div><div>In the past, most people have looked to use bleach to combat mould and mildew. Though you've just read about the health problems posed by bleach. Instead of using bleach, use the Thieves Household Cleaner to clean mould and mildew. </div><div>Use Thieves Household Cleaner undiluted on surfaces affected by mould and mildew. It's recommend to wear safety protection when dealing with mould to minimise your exposure to the mould spores. Use gloves and a respiratory mask.</div><div>When mould is cleaned, the mould spores are released into the air and can be breathed in. To help with combating the air-borne mould spores, diffuse the Thieves essential oil.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_7a7afdf4a9584fb1aad9270cf5ab93fc.jpg"/><div>6.

Cleaning Tiles &amp; Grout</div><div>Use Thieves Cleaner as your floor cleaner for tiles, wood and any hard-surfaced flooring. </div><div>Add Thieves Household Cleaner to your mop water. See the Thieves Cleaner page for dilution ratios.</div><div>For other tiled surfaces, add 1 capful of Thieves Household Cleaner with 1/2 cup of water in a spray bottle. Spray tile and grout.

Let's explore the top 5 ways to use Peppermint essential oil in the kitchen.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_8aee6f3656e34f7c973f0426193dcae4.jpg"/><div>1. Peppermint Water</div><div><div>Young Living peppermint essential oil can be added to food and drinks to flavour food</div>.</div><div>Peppermint water is a healthy drink option that can replace sugar-filled soft drinks, iced-teas and cordials.</div><div>Everybody knows that drinking water is great for health. Though most people struggle with drinking enough water. How often have you thought to yourself &quot;If only water tasted good I'd drink more of it&quot;. That's where essential oils come into play. If it tastes good - people drink more. Essential oil drinking water tastes super yummy. That's why everybody says when they try essential oil drinking water they find it easier to drink more water.</div><div>When using peppermint oil in drinking water, there's a 3 things you need to know.</div><div>1. The <div>flavour of peppermint essential oil is strong</div>. Some people love it, some people don't. That's just like any flavour - not everyone's tastes buds are the same. So give it a try to see if it's the flavour for you. Personally peppermint water is one of my favourites, I love it! </div><div>2. Use a small amount! For most people, one drop of peppermint oil to 250ml glass of water is a good flavour level. For some people, one drop to one litre of water is the flavour level they prefer. This is something that you'll need to try for yourself to find out your flavour preference. Though most people find that using more than one or two drops to a glass of water is too strong in flavour for them. So when you try peppermint oil water for yourself, start with one drop in a jug of water or large glass.</div><div><div>3. Make sure you're using an essential oil suited for use in food. </div>Young Living peppermint essential oil can be used for food and drinks. You'll see the guidelines for use in cooking on the Young Living bottle label. Though please note that most brands of essential oils are not suitable for use in food and drinks. Most brands of essential oils, even oils labeled as 100% pure or organic are designed for aromatherapy purposes only, they should not be used in food and can be harmful if ingested in food. So make sure you're using an essential oil that's listed for use in food. With Young Living peppermint oil you can rest assured it's safe for use in food.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_904a1a6c4a274554babeaf68b0390500.jpg"/><div>2. Chocolate Peppermint Brownies</div><div>Flavour your recipes with peppermint oil!</div><div>Add peppermint oil to your favourite chocolate brownie recipe. Simply add 2 drops of Young Living peppermint oil to your brownie recipe. It's amazingly tasty!</div><div>And just a reminder, when using essential oils for cooking, only use essential oils suited for use in food. Young Living peppermint oil can be used in food.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_2ff87c71f8e340d5b1c5a1b7c2ddbdf6.jpg"/><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ADKb-5bh0Lo"/><div>3. NingXia Red shot with Peppermint</div><div>Everybody says they love the taste of Young Living's Ningxia Red juice. It's a health drink that tastes great! </div><div>NingXia Red juice already contains 4 therapeutic grade Young Living essential oils - lemon, orange, yuzu and tangerine. Adding additional oils not only offers a variation in flavours, adding additional oils also offers a host of wellness benefits, as each oil offers it's own health giving properties.</div><div>Peppermint essential oil not only has a great flavour, it's also great as an energy pick-me-up. That's why peppermint oil is a great match for NingXia Red. Simply add one drop of Young Living peppermint oil to 25ml of NingXia Red.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_81ec989896da45b7a8e610286ab50292.jpg"/><div>4. Peppermint Chocolate Truffles</div><div>Yes, here's another recipe with chocolate. There's a reason why chocolate is featuring twice in the top 5 uses for peppermint oil in the kitchen. Peppermint and chocolate were made to go together. They're the ultimate flavour combination.</div><div>Add peppermint oil to your favourite chocolate recipes, whether that's chocolate truffles, raw chocolate, chocolate cupcakes. Anything chocolate, peppermint is a perfect flavour companion.</div><div>To make chocolate truffles or chocolates, add 3 to 5 drops of peppermint essential oils. And again one more time, make sure the oil you use is suited for cooking, like Young Living's peppermint essential oil.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_d050940da064448080caf7b9e2192ace.jpg"/><div>5. Ant 'No Go' Zone </div><div>Having ant problems in the kitchen? Ants don't like peppermint oil. Using peppermint oil can help to deter ants.  Ants often follow an 'ant trail'. One way to deter ants is by dropping peppermint oil along the entry point of the ant trail.</div><div>The way that I use peppermint oil for ants is by adding a few drops of peppermint oil to my Thieves Household Cleaner. The Thieves Household Cleaner is what I use to clean my kitchen benchtops. It's a concentrated liquid that I dilute with water in a spray bottle for cleaning. When I make the cleaning solution in the spray bottle, I add a few drops of peppermint oil. It not only makes the cleaner smell even more awesome, it also helps with ant issues. </div><div>&quot;We have an indoor-outdoor style kitchen with bi-fold windows that open directly to our kitchen benchtops from the outside of the house. We love the open feeling and breeze that comes through the kitchen, though having the bi-fold windows also gives an &quot;open access pass&quot; to ants. Whenever I see an ant in the kitchen, I grab the Thieves Cleaner spray with the added peppermint oil and spray down the ants and ant trail and it stops them dead in their tracks. I love being able to use a kitchen cleaner that's all-natural without chemicals, that's safe for the whole family and has he added benefit as a bug deterrent.&quot;</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><div>Want to learn even more uses for Peppermint essential oil, beyond uses for the kitchen?

Her dog had a habit of rubbing itself of the rug. He was absorbing the chemicals from the bleach. Once they switched to cleaning the rug with natural cleaning product, the health problems went away. If only she'd known that before the $10,000 vet bill!&quot; </div><div>&quot;Liver toxicity was found in two cats in a household. Lab tests done at the animal hospital found the link back to the cleaning product used on the kitchen counters in the home. The cats had been licking the surfaces and absorbing the chemicals through their paws. When the cleaning products were switched to natural cleaning products, the liver toxicity issues in the cats went away.&quot;</div><div>So what's in these products that are causing the health problems? It's the mystery cocktail of chemicals contained in most supermarket cleaning products.</div><div>We're all effected by the chemicals we're exposed to. Though did you know that animals are even more susceptible than humans are? Hair follicles absorb more than skin. So the firrier the animal, the more they're absorbing!</div><div>Animals are also spend more time in contact with the surfaces being cleaned. They lick the surfaces these chemical cleaners are sprayed on, rub themselves on the furniture and animal bedding and they walk 'bare-pawed' on the floors. Doggie paws quickly and easily soak-up the chemicals from floors. There's a pile of chemicals to avoid in cleaning products. Let's explore one product..</div><div>According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Febreze, a popular brand of odour eliminator has received the F rating. F is the worst possible rating, that the EWG classifies as 'Highest Concern - Potentially Significant Hazards to Health or the Environment'</div><div>What is the EWG? EWG is non-profit organisation that tests and rates the safety of cleaning and personal care products.</div><div>Below is an extract from the EWG's report findings on Febreeze for asthma, respiratory issues, skin allergies, reproductive toxicity and cancer. <a href="http://www.ewg.org/guides/cleaners/1659-FebrezeFabricRefresher">See the EWG report here</a>.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_998db3c334c044bba7923d5888379219.png"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_658ca84267084d70b5959350bf5b9e65.png"/><div>So what's in the Febreze product? You won't see all the ingredients listed on the label. Below is a list of some of the 87 chemicals that the EWG testing found to be in Febreze Air Effects. These are listed in the sequence of toxicity to humans - though animals are affected too!</div><div><div>BHT - Known as a neurotoxin, endocrine disruptor, immunotoxicity, non-reproductive organ system toxicity, skin eye and lung irritator</div><div>Acetaldehyde - Known to cause cancer, toxic to reproduction and development, immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin, skin, eye and lung irritator</div><div>&quot;Fragrance&quot; - One of the three ingredients actually disclosed, it's a neurotoxin, immunotoxin and allergen</div><div>Propylene Glycol - Causes cancer, allergies, toxic to immune system, accumulates in the system, non-reproductive organ system toxin, is classified with &quot;enhanced skin absorption&quot; and irritates the skin, eye and lung</div><div>1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol - Carcinogenic (causes cancer)</div><div>Limonene - Allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator</div><div>Methyl pyrrolidone<div> - Toxin to reproduction and development, allergen and immunotoxin, non-reproductive organ system toxin and </div>skin, eyes and lung irritator</div><div>Alcohol denatured<div>- Also disclosed in the ingredients of Febreze, it's linked to cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, organ system toxicity and skin, eyes and lung irritator</div></div><div>Butylphenyl methylpropion al - allergen, immunotoxin and and skin, eyes and lung irritator</div><div>Ethyl acetate - linked to developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, organic system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritator</div><div>Geraniol- Linked to allergies, immunotoxicity, organi system toxicity and and skin, eyes and lung irritation</div><div>Linalool- allergen, immunotoxin, and and skin, eyes and lung irritator</div><div>Benzaldehyde - neurotoxin, and skin, eyes and lung irritator</div><div>Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether - non-reproductive organ system toxicity</div><div>Ethylhezanol- developmental and reproductive toxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator</div><div>Hexyl cinnamal - allergen, immunotoxin and skin, eyes and lung irritator</div></div><div>This comes as a shock to most animal owners.

Think again!</div><div>Most people don't give much thought to what they're cleaning their teeth with. If it's sold in the supermarket it must be safe to use right? Wrong!</div><div>You may be surprised or even shocked to find out that many of the commercial brand toothpastes at the supermarket contain harmful chemicals that have been linked to all sorts of health problems.</div><div>Plus your mouth is one of the most absorbant places in the entire body. </div><div>Over the course of a lifetime, the average person uses about 75 litres (20 gallons) of toothpaste, and even if you spit most of it out, some of the chemicals it contains make their way into your bloodstream. Whilst you're brushing, the ingredients in your toothpaste enter your mouth and gums, which are the gateway to every system in your body.</div><div>Dangerous ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), aspartame, fluoride, and triclosan are on just about every toothpaste label. </div><div>Not only do the FDA and toothpaste manufacturers know the ingredients are dangerous, in the USA toothpastes are required to have a warning label that warns you it’s not safe to swallow. Wow! Something we are supposed to clean our mouth with is dangerous if swallowed? </div><div>If you're from the USA, you'll have seen those toothpaste warning labels, though if you're from other parts of the world, including Australia, you won't have seen those warning labels on toothpastes, as the Australian government doesn't require that warning on labels. Yet, in Australia they are the same toothpaste brands with the same ingredients in the toothpastes. </div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_441a09dc21da4e139d1410b53fdfca6e.jpg"/><div>When shopping for toothpaste, here's a list of chemicals to avoid and why:</div><div>Triclosan</div><div>Included in most conventional toothpastes is used as an antibacterial agent. It has been linked to many health problems including thyroid problems, hormonal disruption, infertility and it may cause cancer. The American Medical Association suggests triclosan not be used in the home as it may encourage bacterial resistance to antibiotics. </div><div>Researchers at Virginia Tech have found that triclosan, when mixed with chlorine as found in tap water, forms chloroform. Every time you brush your teeth with toxic toothpaste and tap water, you are creating a highly toxic chemical reaction directly in your mouth. </div><div>Toothpaste appears to be one of the most potent delivery vehicles for the chemical, as research found people who brushed their teeth with Colgate Total had more than five times as much triclosan in their urine as those who did not. [1]</div><div>SLS Sodium Laurel Sulphate</div><div>A common ingredient in toothpastes, SLS is a surfactant used to create the foaming action. SLS is readily absorbed in the body and is considered a carcinogen. It can also cause skin and eye irritations, hormone imbalances, denaturing of structural proteins, canker sores and mouth ulcers. According to the Journal of the American College of Toxicology Vol 2 No 7 1983, SLS can act as a mutagen, meaning that in sufficient amounts it is capable of changing genetic information found in cells. SLS can damage the immune system and cause skin inflammation or damage</div><div>Artificial Sweeteners</div><div>Artificial sweeteners like saccharin, sorbitol, and aspartame are added to the toothpastes to mask the horrible chemical taste. Saccharin is manufactured from petroleum products. Formaldehyde is a by-product of aspartame. These artificial sweeteners can cause side effects like: headaches, dizziness, mood changes, vomiting or nausea, abdominal pains, diarrhea, seizures, memory loss, fatigue, numbness, joint pain, depression, anxiety, blurred vision, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, systemic lupus and various cancers.</div><div>Flouride</div><div>Fluoride is categorized as a “toxic drug” by the FDA. Fluoride is an endocrine disrupter that calcifies the penile gland, and it can reduce thyroid and adrenal gland function. Fluoride increases cancer risk, causes damage to DNA, inactivates enzymes within the body, accelerates aging, disrupts the immune system, and should be avoided both in toothpaste and in water.</div><div>Not only found in toothpastes, fluoride exposure adds up when you take into account the dental products, dental treatments, and water supply all contain fluoride.</div><div>Colours</div><div>Colours often included toothpastes are FD &amp; C Blue Dye # 1 &amp; 2.</div><div>These can cause behavioural, learning &amp; developmental problems in susceptible people, particularly children. They can also trigger allergies, asthma, headaches and are a potential cancer risk. </div><div>Diethanolamine (DEA)</div><div>Diethanolamine (DEA), is in products that foam like toothpaste. DEA disrupts hormones and forms cancer-causing nitrates. Dr. Samuel Epstein, professor of environmental health at University of Illinois, states that repeated exposure to skin may lead to increased risk of liver and kidney cancers. A 2006 study from the University of North Carolina found potential danger from DEA in fetal brain development and miscarriage risk. </div><div>The Environmental Working Group (EWG) ranks DEA as a number 10 in its cosmetics database (the most toxic score) due to high concerns of organ system toxicity, contamination concerns and irritation, along with moderate cancer risk. The California Environmental Protection Agency lists DEA as a possible human carcinogen. DEA is listed on ingredient labels as Cocomide DEA (Diethanolamine), DEA Laurtyl Sulfate, Lauramide DEA, Linoleamind DEA, Oleamide DEA or TEA (Triethanolamine).</div><div> So which toothpaste should you use to clean your teeth? </div><div>The list of health risks from conventional toothpastes is enough for every health conscious person to look to switch to a green toothpaste. Though when going green, make sure that the products you choose are actually chemical free. Unfortunately some companies are jumping on the 'green bandwagon' offering products that aren't as green as you would hope.</div><div>You need to choose a company you can trust. A company that lists all of the ingredients on the label and a company that doesn't use chemicals.</div><div>I use Young Living toothpaste, as Young Living is a full disclosure company, that use all-natural ingredients, with all ingredients listed on the label. </div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_02423a4e11f449d3a42e40f794330c9b.jpg"/><div>Young Living offer 3 toothpastes, plus a toothpaste for kids.

Let's explore the top 5 ways to use Peppermint oil on the hot summer days.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_d1ca3b1f326d44c0b3312afeaef103e3.jpg"/><div>1. Cooling the Body</div><div> Whether you're at the beach, at the park for a family picnic, playing sport, watching the kids play sport or you're working hard in the yard, it's easy to work up a sweat in the Australian summer heat.</div><div>When it's hot, peppermint comes to the rescue. Did you know that using <div>peppermint oilcan actually reduce the surface temperature of the skin</div>. So if your skin is feeling hot, and you want to feel cooler, using peppermint essential oil is the perfect way to bring down the heat.</div><div>There's 2 ways you can use peppermint essential oil to reduce skin and body heat on a hot summers day.</div><div>Either apply a drop of Peppermint oil on each wrist, or rub along the forearms. Some people also rub peppermint essential oil on the back of their neck.</div><div>Or, add several drops of peppermint oil to a spray bottle with water and spritz on the arms and legs. It's best to keep the eyes closed when spritzing, to ensure the oil doesn't get into the eyes. </div><div>When you apply peppermint oil directly to the skin or through the water spritz, you'll notice a cooling sensation on the skin. It feels a bit like the icy-cool feeling of the icy sports gels, though with a chemical-free refreshing peppermint scent.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_1b51991d1f0b4629a8c077ab6686b42f.jpg"/><div>2. Refreshing Peppermint Water</div><div> Young Living peppermint essential oil can be added to food and drinks to flavour food.</div><div>On a hot summers day, peppermint water is fantastic way to not only enjoy a tasty refreshing drink, it's also healthy drink option that can replace soft drinks, sugar-filled iced-teas and cordials.</div><div>Everybody knows that drinking more water is great for health and everybody says when they try essential oil drinking water they find it easier to drink more water.</div><div>When using peppermint oil in drinking water, there's a 3 things you need to know.</div><div>1. The flavour of peppermint essential oil is strong. Some people love it, some people don't. That's just like any flavour - not everyone's tastes buds are the same. So give it a try to see if it's the flavour for you. Personally peppermint water is one of my favourites, I love it! </div><div>2. Use a small amount! For most people, one drop of peppermint oil to 250ml glass of water is a good flavour level. For some people, one drop to one litre of water is the flavour level they prefer. This is something that you'll need to try for yourself to find out your flavour preference. Though most people find that using more than one or two drops to a glass of water is too strong in flavour for them. So when you try peppermint oil water for yourself, start with one drop in a jug of water or large glass.</div><div><div>3. Make sure you're using an essential oil suited for use in food and cooking. <div>Young Living peppermint essential oil can be used for food and drinks</div></div>. You'll see the guidelines for use in cooking on the Young Living bottle label. Though please note that most brands of essential oils are not suitable for use in food and drinks. Most brands of essential oils, even oils labeled as 100% pure or organic are designed for aromatherapy purposes only, they should not be used in food and can be harmful if ingested in food. So make sure you're using an essential oil that's listed for use in food. With Young Living peppermint oil you can rest assured it's safe for use in food.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_614925fea50644a28606604c477bf303.jpg"/><div>3.

Whether it's the avoid the mid-afternoon energy slump, gaining energy to keep up with the kids or grandkids or boosting sports performance, NingXia Red offers a sustained energy that doesn't spike blood sugar levels, without caffeine, achieving a boost in energy levels without the sugar crash that other energy drinks cause.</div><div>Everybody says they love the taste of Ningxia Red. Yes, it's a health drink that tastes great! Though did you know that you can completely change the flavour of NingXia Red juice by adding extra essential oils.</div><div>NingXia Red juice already contains 4 therapeutic grade Young Living essential oils - lemon, orange, yuzu and tangerine. Adding additional oils not only offers a variation in flavours - after all, even the tastiest drinks can get mundane day-after-day. Adding additional oils also offers a host of wellness benefits, as each oil offers it's own health giving properties.</div><div>So which essential oils can be added to NingXia Red? </div><div>Below are our favourite NingXia Red shot recipes.</div><div>Though first a word of warning. Don't use essential oils from health food stores in your drinks and food. Most essential oil brands, including health food store essential oils, are not suited for use in food and drinks and may be harmful or even toxic if used in food. So steer clear of those oils.</div><div>Young Living essential oils however are suited for use in food and drinks. I only use Young Living essential oils for flavouring food. Young Living essential oils are of such purity and quality that they're used in TGA Australian government listed nutritional supplements including Digest &amp; Cleanse capsules, Prostate Health capsules and Inner Defence capsules featuring Thieves essential oil.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_17fecb53c35e4f0f8a817593c886a072.jpg"/><div>Tangerine Lime NingXia Red Shot Recipe</div><div>This is my personal favourite! The combination of tangerine and lime is absolutely sublime! This NingXia Red shot recipe offers the citrus sweetness of tangerine and refreshing burst of flavour from lime.</div><div>Simply add 2 drops of Young Living tangerine essential oil and 2 drops of lime essential oil to 25ml of NingXia Red Juice.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_e227a807e8f9458e92b557ddcbbb855f.png"/><div>Orange, Tangerine, Cinnamon NingXia Red Shot Recipe</div><div>Countdown features the warm spiciness of cinnamon with the citrus orange and tangerine flavour. Some people say it tastes a bit like Christmas and is especially enjoyable during the winter months of the year. </div><div>To make the Countdown NingXia Red shot recipe, simply add one drop each of Young Living orange, tangerine and cinnamon bark essential oils.</div><div>Cinnamon essential oil is stronger in flavour than dried cinnamon spice powder. Cinnamon oil is a pretty intense flavour for new-comers to the flavours of essential oils in drinks. I love it, though some people find it's flavour a little strong if they're not used to it. So if haven't experienced cinnamon essential oil in drinks yet, you may like to start with a toothpick dip into the cinnamon oil, swirled through the NingXia Red juice. Then you can adjust to taste preference by adding more if you wish.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_b051094a5ee3418ba65519e41d3d9e98.png"/><div>Lemon, Grapefruit, Ginger NingXia Red Shot Recipe</div><div>Jump start your day with the New Start NingXia Red shot. It will make you feel alive. Bursting with the tangy flavour of lemon and grapefruit, combined with the rich spicy warmth of ginger.</div><div>Simply combine one drop each of Young Living lemon, grapefruit and ginger essential oils with 25ml of NingXia Red juice.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_5bd835b8878c404da749d54f94cb8b9a.png"/><div>Jade Lemon Peppermint NingXia Red Shot Recipe</div><div>Jade Lemon sounds intriguing doesn't it. Jade lemon essential oil has a flavour that's across between lemon and lime. If you like citurs and you love lime and lemon like I do, you'll love Jade lemon.</div><div>Jade lemon comes from a variety of lemon which has a green rind. </div><div>The lemony-lime flavour of jade lemon combined with the energizing flavour of peppermint oil makes this a super flavour combination and a great pick-me-up energiser in the afternoon.</div><div>Add 1 drop of Young Living peppermint essential oil with 2 drops of Young Living Jade Lemon essential oil to 25ml of NingXia Red juice.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_f904b07f0e4f4aa2a4bd9ecdf21a0522.gif"/><div>Looking to get your own NingXia Red juice and Young Living essential oils?

This mixture is then vaporised into the air as a micro fine mist by an ultrasonic disc. The disc vibrates at many thousands of times per second - breaking up the water and oil mixture into the fine mist that you see escaping out.</div><div>In the picture to the right, you can see a finger pointing to the ultrasonic disc.</div><div>Why clean an aromatherapy diffuser?</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_e243d1f0bd614c348da6c6d0deb55b4e.jpg"/><div>Over time, the ultrasonic disc in the aromatherapy diffuser will acquire a build up of scale that comes from the water. The &quot;harder&quot; your water (ie the more minerals it has in it), the faster this scale will build up.</div><div>Most people are familiar with this scale, as they see it build up in their kettle (often referred to as lime scale). This is the same thing that will occur on the ultrasonic disc.</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_1c4bd11915f648238b129d1610bff0e4.jpg"/><div>Often you will see that distilled water is suggested to be used in an ultrasonic diffuser. Distilled water contains no minerals, therefore there would be very little or no build up of scale on the ultrasonic disc, and therefore less maintenance.</div><div>On the right you can see a picture of an Aria ultrasonic diffuser with its lid off, allowing you to see the ultrasonic disc. </div><div>What should I clean my diffuser with?</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_48c73e5e3bd34551957613a36c433aab.jpg"/><div>We suggest you use the Thieves spray and a paper towel to clean your diffuser.</div><div>You can use this to clean the outside, inside and the ultrasonic disc of the diffuser. Spray the ultrasonic disc with a single spray of the Thieves spray then use a cotton bud to remove the scale build up. Finally, wipe it all off with the paper towel.</div><div>The Thieves spray can be used to also clean all of the inside and outside of the diffuser as well - simply give it a spray and then wipe it down.</div><div>How often do I need to clean my aromatherapy diffuser?</div><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N9qxEVeKwIs"/><div>How often you will need to clean will depend on if you are using distilled water or normal tap water. Distilled water does not contain the minerals, therefore, requires cleaning less often.</div><div>You should look at cleaning your diffuser at least once a month, or, when you notice the mist output drop.</div><div>We hope that you found this information on cleaning your aromatherapy diffuser useful!

Can they be used internally?</div><div>The guidelines for using Young Living essential oils depend upon each country, as each country has different government regulations and classifications for essential oil usage.<img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_00f11121f7f74836970224f35b053ea6.png"/></div><div>In the United States, some Young Living Essential Oils are classed as “Dietary Supplements”. As such, you will see them listed for use internally, in capsules as dietary supplements and for use in food and drinks. Those Young Living oils are labeled as the “Vitality” range in the USA, with white labels. </div><div>In Australia, essential oils are regulated differently to the USA.

So, just remember when choosing which essential oils to diffuse -</div><div>Single &amp; Single = GoodSingle &amp; Blend = GoodBlend &amp; Blend = Avoid </div><div>Use Low Mineral Water</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_c9e69751ad3b411eae734b7e10579b84.jpg"/><div>Have you ever noticed that lime scale build up in your kettle that you have to clean off? This is due to the minerals in your tap water. The more minerals are in your water, the harder your water is and the more often you need to clean your kettle.</div><div>So how does this relate to your essential oil diffuser?</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_1c4bd11915f648238b129d1610bff0e4.jpg"/><div>Your ultrasonic diffuser contains a round disc (as pictured on the right), which is the ultrasonic disc. This vibrates at thousands of times per second to split up the water/oil mixture into a fine mist which goes into the air. Just like your kettle, over time your diffuser and ultrasonic disc will have a build up of scale on it from the minerals in the water.</div><div>By using low mineral water (for example, distilled water), this scale build up in the diffuser and on the disc will be minimised, and therefore required cleaning less often. To learn how to correctly clean your essential oil diffuser, see our blog post called <a href="http://www.wildessentialoils.com.au/#!Cleaning-your-Aromatherapy-Diffuser/ca3f/56b043180cf2dc1600dd9c4f">Cleaning your essential oil diffuser</a>. </div><div>Use 4-6 Drops</div><img src="http://static.wixstatic.com/media/6246a0_bcab1ad3bfe440d299ba17923758c0c8.jpg"/><div>When you read the manual for your essential oil diffuser, you will probably see that it suggests around 8-12 drops. We have found that this is too many drops for a standard sized room. For a large, open plan house then yes, we would use this amount. However, for most standard sized rooms we have found 4-6 drops to be ample.</div><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N9qxEVeKwIs"/><div>Do your own experimenting - but remember, if you are new to essential oils start off slowly! Essential oils have the ability to help the body to detox. If we detox faster then our body can handle, then we may start to feel side effects of this detox process like headaches or nausea. If this occurs, discontinue use and drink plenty of water. Then, the next time, use fewer drops.</div><div>We hope that you have enjoyed this article.
