As we come to the end of this blog post I have one more suggestion, a daily detox.
Environmental toxins like pesticides that act as hormone/endocrine disruptors, interfere with metabolism and thyroid function and, studies show that as we lose weight, pesticides are released from fat tissue. As we move forward pursuing better for ourselves it makes sense to practice daily detox protocols to help our mitochondria repair and renew.
Drinking adequate (clean) water is a good place to start, practicing natural detoxing protocols and caring about the food we eat and making better choices is also paramount.
One natural approach to easing symptoms of inflammation is our Function Detox Blend - a blend of Turmeric CO2, Black Pepper, Frankincense, Bergamot and Lemongrass essential oils, all natural anti-inflammatories.
FUNCTION USAGE FYI - We've already added organic rosehip seed oil to Function Detox Blend to protect against skin sensitivity, it's ready to roll!
Apply topically to bottoms of feet, above both ankle bones (inside) every morning, add a night time routine if needed. Update: another favorite location is on the inside of forearms as needed. Function Cream is now available too!
I can't remember exactly where I heard about this. Just was browsing the internet and came across your blog on tired thyroid. I had been feeling a little out of sorts, but all my blood work said thyroid levels were ok. Today is day 4 of using the oil, I feel more energetic and clear headed than I have in a long time. Thank you for crafting this blend! -HM
In the quest to clean up our environment including the air we breathe, diffusing pure essential oils can help reduce personal exposure to toxins in your environment. It's a pleasant way to purify the air and remove odors in your home and your workplace - an ultrasonic diffuser sends tiny droplets of essential oils into the air carried by a cool cloud of water vapor.
Please note that I'm not a physician, I'm simply sharing plant-based alternatives to ease the symptoms and discomfort of a condition that can disrupt the quality of life. I enjoy improved health due cleaning up my environment, my diet and the products I use on my body and in my home. Use of essential oils is not intended to take the place of your health providers care. If you are under a physicians care please check with your physician before making any changes to your established protocols.
Live well, live clean!
