Swollen Lymph Glands and Feet? Try this protocol

Have you ever wondered which essential oils you could use when your feet get swollen and your lymph glands get sore?  I use this blend in a lotion when I foot zone my customers who have stagnant lymph ducts in their ankles and feet.  Here's the ratio:  10 drops tangerine, 6 dr juniper berry, 3 dr geranium, 2 dr rosemary and 1 dr cilantro.  I make enough of this to put in some good spa lotion to keep on hand.  I use doTERRA essential oils because I've tried enough of the competing brands to know that they're no competition for the purity and integrity of the doTERRA brand oils.  They are the ones I trust after years and years of comparisons.  https://footzoners.com

Lipidema Projects in various states now. Will I be joining?

Have you seen "The Lipidema Project" websites for Massachusetts, Hawaii, SoCal, etc?  They're starting to spread.  That's good.  Except............
Have you noticed that the only solutions offered still are either compression garments, liposuction or air compression? 
I don't for one moment accept that those are my only options.
For that reason, I haven't joined up with any of them, nor will I until more serious attention is paid to other avenues for holistic change.  The answers are out there, and I'm looking hard every day for them.  I don't choose to be stuck with only those limited options.

Compression garments? OUCH!

Did you know that those who opt for compression garments usually wear them for an average of 2 days before giving up on them?  And they're expensive!  There's got to be a much more comfortable solution that squeezing, sucking the fat out with a vacuum hose or trying to push fluids up through terribly clogged lymphatic pathways.  I just don't buy it.

Continuing my education quest for natural healing--getting rid of fear

I'm tooting my own horn today.  I just got my test results back and I finished my kinesiology course with honors.  So now my areas of holistic education include essential oils, aromatherapy, herbs, reflexology, kinesiology, foot zoning, craniosacral therapy, emotion release, naturopathy and anatomy & physiology.   Every one of these areas of research is uniquely fascinating and  yet actually quite interconnected to the others.  Most of them I can apply to the feet during a foot zone session. Yay for educated choices and informed consent.  No more running on fear due to ignorance or innocence. We can be educated and articulate about our own wellness.

Is your pituitary gland toxic with heavy metals? Use Essential Oils

Perhaps one of the clues to solving lipidema is getting the heavy metals out of our master glands in our brains: the hypothalamus, thalamus, pituitary and pineal glands.  I know it's one of my biggest priorities, so I work on it with things like Essential Oils.
Although cilantro is the top recommended essential oil for heavy metals, my favorite is celery seed oil.  Other favorites are carrot seed oil, parsley oil, green mandarin, tangerine and cinnamon. 
doTERRRA has fabulous cilantro, green mandarin, tangerine and cinnamon.  I have to get the carrot, celery and parsley oils from another supplier for now, but because I know that the quality is less than doTERRA's, I don't want to recommend the source.  But you could email me for more info at ericabeready@gmail.com.

For you who love Foot Zoning like I do: Try this tweak:

I have discovered that when you are zoning someone, it is helpful to hook the pituitary to the other
glands of the endocrine system, then reverse the movement and go back to the pituitary gland and hook.  Also, the filter organs need to communicate with the pituitary.  Start at that gland and then do  separate hook movements down to the central point of the liver, kidneys and spleen.  Liver and one kidney on the right foot, spleen and the other kidney on the left foot.  The pituitary gland can lose clear communication with these very important hormone-producing glands and blood filters, so re-establishing that communication with clarity is important for maintaining the endocrine system.

Rare Adipose Disorder is another name for Lipidema

Our fat cells may not be "normal", but that doesn't stop us from having normal feelings, normal relationships, normal lives.  What is doesn't give us is a solution...yet.

If you have lipidema, you are most definitely not alone, nor are your symptoms rare.  They're just not researched much.  So let's put our heads together and come up with puzzle pieces that we can put together and solve this thing.  Will you help?  email ericabeready@gmail.com
