The areas of concern on your face could very well be telling a story of something out of balance on a cellular level. Whether it's a dry spot, an irritation, itch or breakout...next time you notice something pop up, listen up. Once you identify the area of concern, retreat to your reference guides and try to discover which essential oils or supplements can help your body stay in balance and far above the wellness line. digestion Enzymes are key to playing a role in proper digestive health along with getting enough fiber and water in your diet.

WATER: The long running suggestion is half your body weight in ounces plus double any amount of caffeine or alcohol you consume. Or, you can try the gorgeous gallon and keep it simple.

FIBER: On target for women is 34-36g x day. For men, it is 34-40g. Balance complete is an excellent source to add a few more grams to your intake.

ENZYMES: A great broad spectrum start is Essentialyzme 4 (if your gallbladder is removed, opt for Essentialzyme) kidneys Kidneys love hydration so make sure your water intake is up to par (see above) K&B tincture is a great supplement to keep your kidney health functioning strong. c a r d i o v a s c u l a r| Love your heart with proper nutrition and a diet high in essential fatty acids. To add additional supplementation to your diet, look at Omega Gize. CardioGize, MindWise, NingXia Red are also great additions to your routine to keep your heart health strong. y e a s t & PH Enzymes with higher levels of amylase and cellulase help to digest excess yeast from the body by properly assimilating the nutrients in our diet. Ideally, look at Young Living Allerzyme as an enzyme to fit this match. Life 9 will help keep the bacteria balance an even playing field.

Ladies, if vaginal yeast is your battle, remember that it takes 3lbs of chemicals to product 1lb of cotton and many of those chemicals are known to wreak havoc on the body's ability to maintain proper pH balance. Look at chemical free alternatives such as organic cotton or a menstrual cup. hormones & stomach If your breakouts follow an all too familiar 28 day cycle, look at ways to keep your hormone health strong every day. Progessence Plus Serum is a great start for many women as a daily step along with proper supplements ideal for your body (look at having a zyto screening done to establish a supplement routine outside of the standard core)

liver & gallbladder Emotions run deep. Try diffusing Geranium and Bergamot at night to help let go of hate, anger and resentment...emotions that according to Chinese medicine are housed in (you guessed it) the liver and gallbladder. Other essential oils for these emotions: Rose, Joy, Release. lymphatic The key here is to keep an already healthy and strong lymphatic system healthy and strong.

Make sure you have a well-established daily supplement routine that includes keeping your defenses up. Look at Sulfurzyme & NingXia Red as key players and if you are feeling that your system is a bit over stressed...follow a few days with Inner Defense in the morning.
