Hello, I am Natalie Brett from @Pearlescent_Prosperity and I am so grateful to Cecily for inviting me to guest blog and speak to you on the science of essential oils.  Before we jump in, let me tell you how I got into essential oils.  

If you look back just a few hundred years, you’ll notice that our bodies only had to detox a few things…. mainly bacteria and viruses.  Now however, our bodies are expected to detox us from a whole slew of things, including chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, and more… Every. Single. Day.  This is why you NEED to know the best ways to detox your body.

Simple Health Tips.  When I think of overall health, illness prevention, and inflammation reduction, initially, I think, “wow! That’s a big, broad topic.” There are so many things I could say, tips I could give, and ways
I could actively guide you to improve your situation.

While I enjoy learning the nitty-gritty, I don’t always enjoy teaching it. Because simplicity is the name of my game. My overarching goal in everything I do is to leave you in such a capable place, that you no longer need me, in order to live the healthy, happy life you dream of. My goal is for you to own it!

So, I’m going to give you my “big three” for simple health tips.  This will cover over-all health…  including tips for reducing inflammation.

“All disease begins in the gut.”- Hippocrates.  That quote right there (from around 2000 years ago!) speaks very potently to the truth about the importance of gut health.

I did a small 2-part series on healing.  The first one was “Does God Heal Today?”  and the second one was “10 Bible verses about healing.”  Today I’m going to talk about 12 healthy cookbooks for autoimmune disease and inflammation.  

A huge part of my healing journey (which is always in motion) is nutrition.

I have learned so much about nourishing my body through the adversity of being ill.  This is knowledge that I wouldn’t trade.  I’ve said over and over that I’m thankful I had the opportunity to learn this.  Without me or my son being sick… I may never have given myself the opportunity to dig into the healing power of the food God provided for us!

Does God still heal today?  This question is heard around the world, and often, this is the very question that echoes in our own hearts when we (or a loved one) are struggling with illness.  Often, the first thing we need to do when we’re searching for healing is to turn to the Bible.  There are many Bible verses about healing the body, and we’ll get to them further into the post.

There’s no one that’s immune from illness or injury, it’s just a matter of how we’re touched (or throttled) by those very things.
