The Need to Breathe
Breathing is important.
 
There!  I said it!
 
It’s VERY important for me.   I have some pretty serious asthma type responses with synthetic chemicals, cleaning chemicals, perfumes, and burning leaves and debris.  
 
 Seriously!

 
I absolutely love my family!   I love to help them, talk with them, do things with them, celebrate with them, just do life with them.  I love spending time with family!  It doesn’t matter which family member it is, I love them and I love spending time with them.  

 
Unfortunately, my daughter has a job at a popular bath store in the mall that sells everything super scenty, and I have serious breathing problems around the things she brings home.   
 
Why?  
 
When I diffuse Young Living oils of every kind, I have no breathing issues.  When I am around Great Aunt Martha who comes to church having bathed in her favorite perfume, I have an asthma like response.  When I am around any “manmade” scent, I have breathing issues.   
 
Translating the whole health issue of mine into something understandable is simply this:  
 
My body knows when something synthetic, manmade, or chemical laden is around and responds with an asthma type response.
 
My body also knows when something God made is around and responds with peace and easy breathing.
I have used all of the above mentioned oils to help with my breathing and they work well! 
 
Which one would I prefer to have around all the time?  Which one would YOU prefer to have around all the time?
 
Does “Birthday Cake” come in a naturally occurring scent?

Should you be concerned with your own breathing, too?  What kinds of toxins are going in to your body when you get those wonderful candles, lotions, and bath washes out?  "But it says Aromatherapy on it, it must be good!"  Look at the ingredients and research everything on the label.  Google it "Dangers of_________" and you'll find lots of things that they're not telling you on that label.
 
So the problem is still there, how do I spend time with my daughter while she still wears scents from this popular bath store and still be able to breathe?
 
Stay tuned….

Love & God Bless,
Regina
