Five Tips for your Immune SystemDespite all our modern medical marvels, the best resource you have against all the junk out there is your immune system - so make it strong! Here are some things we are doing.
1. Daily supplementation - NingXia Red, Super C, Inner Defense, Life 9 are the “bomb” for your immune system. Add in doses of YLEO-boosted Elderberry syrup. Elderberries have been shown in research to kick colds, flues to the curb in a fast manner!
2. Using oils daily. Don’t wait until something happens! Make a roller bottle of wellness oils and apply AM and PM. Some little known amazeball YLEOs are Egyptian Gold (I wear this as my daily perfume during the winter season), Exodus II and ImmuPower.
3. Hygiene - Wash hands with the power of Thieves or other yleo-infused hand soap! Bring your Thieves hand purifier with you wherever you go and apply BEFORE exposure to things! Did you know essential oils can stay on surfaces (tables, hands, etc) for long periods of time RESISTING things that comes in contact with them?!!
4. Environment - Diffuse daily and Clean with the power of Thieves!! Give one of the kiddos the task of spraying and wiping light fixtures, door handles and sink handles. My kids love to spray. 😂
5. Eliminate refined sugar. Y’all. We know this but this stuff is BAD!! It depresses the immune system Terribly leaving you and your family vulnerable. Find alternatives.
Bonus Tip: Add prayer! We have seen so much breakthrough when we add prayer! There is power in prayer. The Bible says, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up" James 5:14-15

EINKORN ROSEMARY BISCUITS by Hope Mier (hopeleilani.com)I found this recipe a while ago when browsing through the Young Living “From Our Fields To Your Table” Cookbook and decided to try them. Conveniently, we had a rosemary plant growing on our counter at the time, and I chopped some of it up and put it in the biscuits. It tasted so good with that fresh rosemary in it. Everyone loved it and we ate the whole batch! This is a great recipe for a Thanksgiving side also!These biscuits are made with einkorn flour, which is an ancient grain dating back to the beginning of agriculture! It is low in gluten, and has non – hybridized genetics, which make it easier to digest.
It is higher in protein, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamin B6 than regular wheat
It has two times more vitamin A than regular wheat
It has four times more beta-carotene and lutein than regular wheat
It has five times more riboflavin than regular wheat
Over all einkorn is an amazing, wholesome grain that is great for our bodies! I based this recipe off of Young Living’s “From Our Fields To Your Table” Cookbook.
What you’ll need:
2 cups of organic einkorn flour { we get ours from Young Living. Click HERE. When Young Living’s einkorn flour is out of stock, we get it HERE}
1 1/2 tbs of baking powder
1 tsp of salt { click HERE to see our favorite brand!}
1/3 cup of cold butter or hardened coconut oil
1 tbs of honey click HERE for amazing raw honey!}
1/2 -3/4 cup of milk{ you can also use almond milk}
7. 2 -3 sprigs of fresh, washed, chopped rosemary {You can also use 2 tbs of dried, cracked rosemary if fresh isn’t available for you}
Let’s make it!
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and rosemary. Cut in butter or hardened coconut oil with a pastry cutter or simply with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse meal. In a separate bowl, mix together honey and milk until fully combined. Gradually stir in the wet mixture into the dry mixture until a dough forms and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn out the dough on a floured surface and knead 15 times.
Pat or roll dough out to 1/2 – 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits out using a large cookie cutter or a glass dipped in flour.
Repeat until all the dough is used. Brush off excess flour and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 13 -15 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. I love to serve these fresh out of the oven and pull the biscuit in half, and put butter in between the biscuits.
