Essential Oils and Hormone Support

February 24, 2015 by Jackie Ritz 1 Comment

 Today I’m welcoming Lora from The 21st Century Mama to my blog! She is going to share a wealth of information on essential oils and hormone support!  Let’s give it up to my expat friend Lora! 

When we talk about hormones in every day life, we are usually talking about our menstrual cycles and periods and PMS. However, there is much more to it than just the so called “women’s problems”. 

While hormones do control the reproductive system and therefore your periods and your PMS, they also controls the internal balance of the body’s systems; our body’s response to stress and injury and even our body’s energy levels. 

There are no less than ten glands or organs that control our hormone production, and balance each hormone relative to the other hormones in our body so that our bodies can function properly.

Below I have looked at the five most problematic organs that can be supported by essential oils.  

So the support you give your endocrine system in terms of a healthy diet; adequate exercise and adequate sleep is really important because it directly affects how you feel, and how your body functions on a day-to-day basis. When any one of these glands or organs becomes sluggish or over excited, they can change the level of one or several hormones, which can throw off the delicate balance of the entire body. 

In addition to the support you give your body via your lifestyle choices, there are some essential oils that can also provide some support to the various glands or organs of the endocrine system. I’ve listed some of these essential oils below.

The Thyroid – Frankincense and Lemongrass: 

The thyroid gland controls your body’s metabolic rate and digestive system as well as the function of the heart and brain development. It does this by producing two hormones: thyroxine and triiodothyronine. 

The Pancreas – Cinnamon, Rosemary and Basil:

The Pancreas is a gland that controls the production of digestive enzymes, which break down and digest food after you eat. It also produces hormones that control the glucose levels in the blood, such as insulin and glucagon. 

Maintaining steady glucose levels in the blood is important as it ensures that the body has a steady supply of energy. This energy is used for the body’s metabolism, when we exercise and to fuel the parts of the brain that use glucose.

Cinnamon supplements, when taken for a period of three months, has been found to significantly improve blood glucose control in Chinese patients with type 2 Diabetes taking Gliclazide (a prescribed diabetic medication) Source. 

Basil leaf extract was shown to help maintain an already healthy blood glucose in diabetes patients, suggesting that Basil could be used as dietary therapy to help strengthen the immune system (source).

Pituitary Gland – Frankincense, Sandalwood and Vetiver: 

The pituitary gland is the “master gland” of the hormone system. It senses the body’s needs and sends signals to other glands and organs throughout the body to regulate their function. For example it secretes hormones that regulates the function of the thyroid, the adrenals and the ovaries or testes. 

The pituitary gland controls metabolism, reproduction, growth and blood pressure, along with many other functions. 

Giving your pituitary gland the right support is extremely important as it controls the function of so many other glands and organs in the body. 

Adrenal Glands – Basil and Rosemary:

The adrenal glands control the level of salt and water levels in the blood, which in turn controls blood pressure along with producing male sex hormones such as testosterone. They also produce cortisol and adrenaline which deal with stress responses in the body and helps control the body’s metabolism. 

Ovaries – Rosemary and Geranium: 

The ovaries are part of a woman’s reproductive system and they produce eggs for fertilization alongside the reproductive hormones oestrogen and progesterone. 

Both oestrogen and progesterone levels need to be balanced for optimal reproductive health. An imbalance of these hormones can lead to a decrease in fertility and alterations to a woman’s menstrual cycle. 

How to Apply & Diluting for Topical Use: 

I would dilute the essential oils according to the recommend guidelines in the chart below and apply them over the organ or gland you want to support and on the reflex points in the feet. With the “hotter” oils, like cinnamon, rosemary, basil, and lemongrass, you will want to use a higher dilution. 

You dilute essential oils with a carrier oil such as: fractionated coconut oil, almond oil, or jojoba oil. 

Dilution Chart

Where to Buy High Quality Essential Oils at a Discount: 

I recommend that when using essential oils to support your hormones, that you use the highest and most therapeutic quality you can find. CLICK HERE to see my brand of choice and how you can purchase them at a discount. 

Hopefully this blog post gives you some ideas on ways to support the endocrine system, but if you have any symptoms of an endocrine disorder, please consult a doctor. These recommendations are, simply, to support your overall wellness.

Coconut-Lime Fruit Salad

April 10, 2014 by Jackie Ritz 1 Comment

coconut lime fruit salad horizontal

I’m so excited to have Arsy from Rubies & Radishes sharing a beautiful and delicious spring recipe with all my readers! Arsy creates some of the most amazing Paleo recipes I have ever seen! She has two Paleo cookbooks out, The Paleo Slow Cooker, and a BRAND new one, The Paleo Foodie! Her unique cultural flare gives all her recipes a distinct Arsy touch and I am so delighted that she is offering to share one of her favorites from The Paleo Foodie Cookbook!

Coconut-Lime Fruit Salad from The Paleo Foodie Cookbook

The coconut-lime dressing adds a tropical feel to this lightly dressed fruit salad, making it a perfect addition to a spring brunch or picnic. It’s also a great way for busy moms to prepare a healthy and exciting snack.

The coconut milk in this recipe adds a nourishing source of fat and additional nutrients to the fruit salad. The addition of the fat tends to keep you full longer too! I highly recommend using homemade coconut milk or choosing a brand of coconut milk that uses BPA-free packaging and does not add any gums or preservatives.

This recipe is easy to make and packed with flavor. It is a toddler favorite in our household.

This Coconut-Lime Fruit Salad is from the newly released cookbook, The Paleo Foodie. The Paleo Foodie is filled with gourmet yet simple to make Paleo recipes with fresh and vibrant flavors.

Breastfeeding Triplets: One Mother’s Journey

February 6, 2014 by Jackie Ritz 16 Comments

triplets FB.001

“Well, the good news is – it’s triplets!”

Not the sentence I was expecting to hear from a doctor I’d never seen before.

The day I learned my husband and I were expecting spontaneous triplets was one of the most memorable days of my life. I had a deep desire to birth any babies we were blessed with – naturally. I had a midwife, we were planning a home birth. I wanted to breastfeed.

But…three babies??

At the time I knew no one else who had triplets – lots of twins, but no triplets. And things just changed with a third baby in there (for instance, I had three babies and….well, not nearly enough boobs!).

And then.

My God-given, powerful maternal instinct kicked in, and I said, “I’m gonna do this!” We spent the next weeks and months working towards a natural, vaginal delivery. I researched and discussed with my chiro my options, went through all the potential challenges and plans with my OB team.

God had other plans, though, and my water broke at 32 weeks and 3 days (past term for triplets!) and less than 18 hours later, my three breech babies were born via c-section. It was a beautiful day – memories piercing my heart for decades to come. I watched each of my 3 lb, 12 or 13 oz babies being lifted from my body via mirror. Surreal. Breathtaking.

The Challenges I Faced with Breastfeeding Triplets

Breastfeeding Triplets: One Mama's Journey  ThePaleoMama.com #breastfeeding #triplets

NICU Days

They spent 28-30 days in the NICU as “feeders and growers.” During that time, I battled to get my supply up. You see, in all the craziness of an unexpected delivery, delivering three babies and trying to get my post-op body to spend time with my brand new babies…I missed the critical window for telling my body, “Yep, you delivered three babies! Now, make milk for them!!!”

Add to that, my sweet babes were born before they learned the “suck, swallow, breathe” coordination in the womb. So they were being fed my milk and formula by a tube that went to their stomach. Then we taught them how to take from a bottle.

Initially, I had hoped to breastfeed two and pump for the third, rotating who was bottle-fed. But, once they were born I realized I should be able to breastfeed all three. So I read books. And websites. And blogs. I found online communities of triplet mamas. I talked with several different lactation consultants. I took herbs and medication. I drank gallons of water. I pumped around the clock.

Turning Bottle-fed Triplets into Breastfeeding Triplets

After the shock of bringing three babies home from the hospital (nearly 33 weeks didn’t prepare me for what that would be like!), I quickly realized teaching three babies to breastfeed was a monumental task. On top of getting my supply up.

Breastfeeding Triplets: One Mama's Journey  ThePaleoMama.com #breastfeeding #triplets

After more and more research and conversations with my LC, and around two and a half months, I began working with my son to breastfeed. A week or so later, one of the girls. One feeding looked like this:

  • Attempt tandem feed. If it didn’t work, feed one at a time.
  • Top off with bottles.
  • Bottle-feed the third.
  • Pump.
  • Start over in about an hour and a half. All day and night.

My third refused the breast for weeks. I cried. A lot. I tried positions and supplementing before, supplementing after. I tried a supplemental nursing system, a nursing shield. I tried pumping while breastfeeding her. I tried nursing her first, last, with a sibling, without. Refusal. Rejection.

My heart was so defeated.

Then I got in the bath tub with her. And there, she nursed. She nursed with the warm water gently surrounding her, feeling my heartbeat matching hers in that thrilling moment as I fed my daughter. My heart soared and I cried with joy and thankfulness.

Breastfeeding Triplets – 1, 2, 3 Babies

It wasn’t long after this moment that I had the second most memorable day in our breastfeeding journey.

One afternoon, one of the girls woke and I brought her into bed with me. I nursed her. Soon after, her sister and brother woke and I fed them. What??!! I fed all three babies and everyone was happy! No bottles were needed!

My body worked.

Breastfeeding Triplets: One Mama's Journey  ThePaleoMama.com #breastfeeding #triplets

The demand was there and my body created the supply. From that moment on, I realized I could do this thing.

A Glorious Journey – My Journey

triplets pin.001

The road was the most difficult one I had ever walked. I was now making decisions that affected three tiny people – my children!

  • Do I drop a bottle now? Not yet?
  • Are they gaining enough? Did everyone have enough wet diapers?
  • Was that a “hungry” sign or are they just digging their hands these days?
  • Should I drink more water? Pump more? Eat more?
  • Can I start weaning off the supplements? The medication? What would it look like for my supply to tank?
  • How do I know if they really got enough?

Every day I fought against fear and fought to trust that God was causing my body to work the way He designed it to. I had to choose to walk in what I knew and make adjustments with what I learned.

My breastfeeding journey didn’t look like what I thought it would. At all! In many ways, it’s far more glorious than I ever dreamed it could be. And in other ways I fell short:

In the post-whirlwind of having three babies, I can clearly see the things we missed and what we could have done differently. But you know what? I was doing the best I could and I’m learning to be ok with that.

 

These days, at two and a half, we’re working on different things – like how to slowly wean. Yep, these beautiful babies are still nursing! We just weaned to one feeding when we all wake up in the morning. It’s one of my favorite times of the day – especially as I know those days are coming to a close. I hope to let them wean on their own at this point.

We’ve enjoyed a long, crazy, beautiful, fantastic journey. I couldn’t be happier.

Did your breastfeeding relationship include challenges? How did you overcome those?

Is Your Child Feeling Sick? Remove These 4 Foods!

January 30, 2014 by Jackie Ritz 2 Comments

sick foods horizontal

I have a secret? I love Kula Mama! She has amazing recipes and remedies and her articles are always so right on point. I love her so much that I asked her to guest blog and write an article for my readers! Thank you Kula Mama for sharing your knowledge with us. This post is so informative and necessary and something that we don’t often think of. Please welcome Heather from Kula Mama! 

During cold and flu season children are often fighting off a variety of viruses at varying times throughout the winter months. Our immune systems do a wonderful job of protecting us from illness and most of the time we don’t even realize they are working so hard for us. But sometimes the immune system needs a little extra help. This is when we feel that tickle in the throat warning us of an impending cold virus, or we start to feel tired, achy and sluggish. If your child starts feeling a little under the weather this cold and flu season, there are foods you can remove to help the immune system get back on track.

4 Foods to Remove During Illness:

1. DAIRY
Dairy is mucus forming in the body, so when your child starts showing signs of a runny nose or congestion it is best to remove this food group to slow mucus production. Why throw gasoline on a fire? Dairy is also acidic in the body and the body heals more quickly when in an alkaline state.

2. SUGAR
Sugar, the anti-nutrient, is always a good thing to remove when your child is feeling sick. In order for the body to process sugar it actually has to use up nutrient stores…nutrients the immune system could use to fight off a virus! Sugar also contributes to an acidic pH in the body and for healing to occur it is best to bring your child into an alkaline state. Find out more about how to do that here.

3. DAMAGED FATS/FRIED FOODS
Damaged fats are highly inflammatory in the body. During a cold or flu virus children need to bring inflammation down so their immune systems can do the work of healing. Eating fried food or packaged food made with Trans fats or vegetable oils only increases inflammation in the body which is harder on the immune system.

4. GLUTEN
Gluten, the sticky protein found in wheat, is a very large protein that is hard to digest. When your child is feeling ill, his digestion is vulnerable and it’s better to focus on nutrient-dense foods that are easy to metabolize like clear bone broth and soup. Gluten also causes inflammation in the body and is a problem food for many children whether they know it or not. When your child is sick, try going gluten-free while healing.

What foods to you find best to remove when your child is sick? Tell me in the comments below!

DIY Cooling Cucumber Mask

December 3, 2013 by Jackie Ritz 13 Comments

I started my natural living experience nearly 5 years ago! I remember how daunting it was to get rid of all the chemicals in my house and how overwhelming it was learning about toxins in my skin care products. I was so happy to follow so many wonderful bloggers who generously shared their home remedies and recipes. After 5 years, I still feel like an amateur when it comes to creating DIY beauty products for myself or my blog! I love the learning experience, but when someone like Jenni from Jenni Raincloud comes along and offers to do a guest post for a DIY Cooling Cucumber Mask…I am thrilled to allow it! So, please welcome Jenni!  – Jackie 

Hi everyone!  I’m Jenni, from Jenni Raincloud Homebody Extraordinaire!  I am an aesthetician and have been in the skin care industry for over a decade!  After taking a break from my career to start a family I started realizing how my favorite skin care products were full of false promises and CHEMICALS!  I started to search for alternatives to my favorite lines and came up with very few choices of skin care companies that were charging an arm and a leg for organic, pure products.  So, I decided to take control and make my own!  I immediately fell in love with the wonders of nature in skin care.  My blog is all about my adventures in do it yourself skin care!  Thanks for having me and I hope you enjoy today’s post!

Anyone have issues with dark circles, crows feet, and puffy bags under your eyes?  My hand is up.  Let’s just get real for a second-Sometimes drinking 10 tons of water a day just doesn’t happen.  Sometimes you just don’t get a full night’s sleep-baby is screaming, 5 year old had a bad dream, husband snores, dog is trying to get underneath you, bladder is shot (thanks Sofie and Heidi for that) weird noises outside, cell phone mysteriously vibrates-you get the picture, the older you get the less you sleep through stuff, but that’s a whole other post, huh?!  More often then not, stress is a daily annoyance-that breeds and multiplies itself while reeking havoc on our bodies.  These annoying issues all contribute to worn out, tired eyes.  So, let’s fix it.  Let’s take 10 minutes to do something for ourselves?  It’s easy and relaxing-You in?

2013-11-12 15.37.13 HDR
I always love to use food on my face.  Seriously-nature is full of remedies.  This is an easy way to relax those tired eyes with out adding chemicals to your body or breaking the bank!  All you need is a cucumber, coconut oil and aloe vera gel!  If you really want to get fancy, Carrot Seed Oil is my go to essential oil for the eyes.  It regenerates and renews-I talk more about it in my DIY Anti Wrinkle Eye Stick post. Now, I like to not waste.  So, I use a whole cucumber, 2 TBSP of coconut oil and 1/4 cup of aloe vera gel.  I put it in an ice cube tray and freeze (hence the cooling part).  This will give you many applications without wasting your cucumber and will also save time and effort in the long run!

2013-11-13 12.10.03 HDR-2

 Cooling Cucumber Mask

  • 1 large cucumber
  • 2 TBSP Unrefined Coconut Oil
  • 1/4 cup Aloe Vera Gel
  • 8 drops of Carrot Seed Essential Oil (optional)

Blend all ingredients together until all ingredients form a smooth cream.  Transfer to ice cube tray and freeze.  You might hold a bit back and pop it in the fridge so you can use your mask now!

Apply all around the eyes.  Leave on for 10-15 minutes.  It feels HEAVENLY!  So refreshing-you can just feel the puffiness disappearing!  If you are using the Carrot Seed oil be very careful-if it gets in your eyes it will burn.  If the oil gets in your eyes, rinse out your eye with cool water immediately.

2013-11-12 15.42.47 HDR-1

So there you have it!  A fast and easy remedy for those pesky tired, puffy eyes!

Cucumbers rock!
