Foods to Avoid are those high in saturated fats, Lard, Mammal meats, Cream, Cheese, Eggs

Patchouli Essential Oil
Hello!
After the holiday’s my face likes to break out in blemishes. It’s mostly because of all the junk food I consume. The good thing is though, that I have dōTERRA Patchouli. I apply one to two drops of dōTERRA Patchouli to my favorite moisturizer to help promote a smooth, glowing complexion.
Patchouli has a rich, musky-sweet aroma and is regularly used in the perfume industry as well as in scented products such as laundry detergents and air fresheners. Besides its amazing fragrance, dōTERRA Patchouli has a wonderful grounding and balancing effect on emotions. Combined with Vetiver, can help calm emotions when applied to the bottom of feet. Also try dōTERRA Patchouli combined with Peppermint by applying to the forehead, temples, or back of the neck after a long day of work.
As a member of the mint family, Patchouli would make a great addition to your oral health routine. Try it as a mouth wash by checking out the link below:

AromaTune™ Massage or MeridianTune Acupuncture
We use Meridian Tuning Forks that are tuned to the vibrational frequency of healthy chakra-meridian-organ systems. Together they stimulate homeostasis in the autonomic nervous system for balance in the body and mind. (no insurance accepted for this service).
These forms of vibrational medicine harmonize and decongest the chakra-meridian systems. Chakra-Meridian balancing has beneficial effects on the autonomic nervous system and internal Organs (as understood by Chinese Medicine).
Our chakras can become congested, over-stimulated or uncoordinated. Restoring balance to your chakras helps with stress, emotional-wellbeing, pain and disease.

How Tuning Forks Work
The vibration of a tuning fork is felt as it resonates through muscle, bones, and organs creating entrainment. This is synchronization of the body’s systems, organs, and tissues to the frequency of the fork reaching a harmonic natural rhythm.
The treatment stimulates healing of tissue at the cellular level getting to the root cause of disharmony.
It works because each of our tissues, organs and cells have their own frequency. Musical instruments have varying sound waves, which penetrate the human body, causing vibrations within the cell. Specific vibrations strengthen healthy cells while regenerating weaker cells.
However, it is different from traditional music therapy, which uses signals received through the ears that focuses on the mind. Tuning fork sound frequencies are received through the ears, skin, tissue, bones, organs and cells. Therefore, it works on all three levels of the human body, which are the body, mind, and spirit.
Tuning forks used for sound healing come in a variety of sets and frequencies. By directing the sound waves of correct tuning forks at key acupuncture and reflexology points, the sound travels through the body to the appropriate organ, gland, bone, or tissue. The healing frequency directs the body’s cells to tune up to their proper healthy pitch enabling them to function as they should.
