Here's just a sample of the kind of issues we are talking about. . .

• Colds and flu (some ideas) - Spice Oils are strong antiviral and antibacterial and have the ability to boost the immune system. Also tree essential oils work well for respiratory infections such as the common cold, influenza and pneumonia.
• Aches and pains you might think about . . . spice oils improve circulation, as a circulatory stimulant they reduce bruising. They detoxify muscle tissues, and are antispasmodic and pain relieving. The herb Essential Oil Peppermint is cooling and reduces pain. An excellent blend for this is No-Mo-Pain.
  
• Allergies - you might consider Respiratory Sinus Relief already blended for your convenience. Or Tansy would be beneficial for allergies.
• Skin irritations and conditions - tree oils are high in antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral constituents so are ideal for fungal, viral and infection related conditions. Like athlete’s foot, candida, ringworm, etc. Spice oils detoxify. Citrus oils are good for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, etc. and blend well with tree oils for these conditions.
• Digestive upsets and nausea - Spice oils are a digestive stimulant, they aid in indigestion, nausea and constipation. Citrus oils have a cleansing effect on the digestive system and its organs.
• Bug bites and bee stings - Grass oils are insect repellents. Cleansing essential oil blend is an excellent one for bug bites and stings. Or this Bee Sting Blend - 2 drops lavender 1 drop German chamomile 1 drop wintergreen.
  
• Burns, sunburns, and scrapes - we all know Lavender is top of this list. A mix of water, aloe vera, and trace mineral complex combined with lavender. When sprayed on a burn, this mist does an excellent job providing relief and promoting the healing of burns. Vinegar will take out the burn.
  
• Minor cuts and slivers - One blend that might be used with a compress is 5 drops geranium, 5 drops lemon, and 5 drops German chamomile. Other single oils that can be used to help slow bleeding are helichrysum, lavender, and myrrh. Cypress can be very effective to control bleeding. Cypress is known to strengthen the circulatory system, particularly through the buildup of capillary walls. Or I might make a disinfecting spray: 5 drops lavender oil, 3 drops tea tree, 2 drops cypress oil.  Mix these oils together with ½ teaspoon salt. Combine this with 8 ounces of distilled water and shake vigorously. Apply  with spray bottle to minor cuts and wounds prior to covering  with bandage. Repeat 2-3 times daily for 3 days. A drop or two of tea tree oil on the wound daily for a few days may also be  helpful. One other oil I might incorporate in the disinfecting process is thyme.
• Dizziness and headaches - No-Mo-Pain is my favorite blend for this or applying peppermint oil . . . wonderful.
  
• Stress and anxiety - maybe using Herb essential oils - because they work on the mind and induce deep relaxation. Uplifting and stimulating. They are excellent for stress related to mental and emotional trauma. Also Flower essential oils work on the spirit and are relaxing, soothing and tranquillizing. Ideal for stress.
• Oral hygiene - Tea Tree is an excellent choice - just one drop on your tooth brush and your regular paste. If you can handle it X-Plague is a great blend. Citrus oils are also really good for oral hygiene.
  
• Household cleaning - here are some recipes for cleaning I use all the time > > >
  
• Air freshening and purification

 Scuffed floors: Apply two to four drops of tea-tree oil to the spots. Wipe excess oil with a cloth and rub in distilled white vinegar.

 Gum-encrusted items: Orange oil is great at removing this sticky offender from various materials. (Don’t worry: It shouldn’t stain fabrics. But do launder immediately.) Apply with a cotton ball.

 Shower doors: Wipe scum-covered glass doors with a few drops of lemon oil twice a month. It will protect them from grime buildup.

 Toilets: Add 2 teaspoons tea-tree oil and 2 cups water to a spray bottle. Shake, then spritz along the toilet’s inside rim. Let sit for 30 minutes; scrub. You can also place a few drops of your favorite oil on the inside of the toilet-paper tube. Every time the paper is used, the scent will be released.

 Windows: Mix 2 ounces water and 10 drops lavender or lemongrass oil to wipe grime off windows. Bonus: These oils may repel flies.

Statins increase the risk of diabetes for postmenopausal women by 48 percent! Statins appear to provoke diabetes through a few different mechanisms, the primary one being by increasing your insulin levels, which can be extremely harmful to your health. Chronically elevated insulin levels cause inflammation in your body, we have talked about how high levels of glucose in the blood stream is like tiny shards of glass and can be the cause of chronic disease. In fact, elevated insulin levels lead to heart disease, which, ironically, is the primary reason for taking a statin drug in the first place!

You need to also consider the sensory nerve damage caused by statins -Sensory nerve damage causes a more complex range of symptoms because sensory nerves have a wider, more highly specialized range of functions. Larger sensory fibers enclosed in myelin (a fatty protein that coats and insulates many nerves) register vibration, light touch, and position sense. Damage to large sensory fibers lessens the ability to feel vibrations and touch, resulting in a general sense of numbness, especially in the hands and feet. People may feel as if they are wearing gloves and stockings even when they are not. Many patients cannot recognize by touch alone the shapes of small objects or distinguish between different shapes. This damage to sensory fibers may contribute to the loss of reflexes (as can motor nerve damage). Loss of position sense often makes people unable to coordinate complex movements like walking or fastening buttons, or to maintain their balance when their eyes are shut.
Neuropathic pain is difficult to control and can seriously affect emotional well-being and overall quality of life. Neuropathic pain is often worse at night, seriously disrupting sleep and adding to the emotional burden of sensory nerve damage.
If you take statin drugs you should consider taking CoQ10.

A more natural way to control cholesterol might be by using oat bran or oat bran plus.
Eating more vegetables, olive oil, coconut oil, organic raw dairy products and eggs, avocados, raw nuts and seeds, and organic grass-fed meats all of which are good belly diminishing foods!
And lets not forget exercising!
