Shot Glass Remedies!
For the Love of EOs & the Fear of Gel Caps...Shot Glass Remedies!

what is shield??? Never heard of it?
Funny. I do this with the LLP - no Gel caps available so I figured a shot glass with some water would do the trick. It does. Now I have other "shots" I can use - although I need to purchase some more oils to use some of these.
Thank you for posting this! How timely. I woke up this morning with a tight chest and headed to your blog to find the recipe for the cold and flu bomb! Can't wait to see how this works out. I tend to get an upper respiratory infection every winter and I'm hoping to keep it at bay this year.
Shield is Spark Naturals Protective Blend...

I just had to share a story about Shield. My 5 year old had a sore throat this weekend (actually she said her uvula had bumps) and when I looked at her throat, her tonsils were extremely swollen and had those white spots on them. Since she's only 5 and she get scared of everything easily, I knew that having her gargle or drink ACV probably wasn't going to work. So I took my roller bottle of Shield with a carrier oil and started rolling in all over her neck, particularly over her glands, and the bottoms of her feet. After 12 hours, the white spots were gone from her tonsils and the swelling had gone down some. After 24 hours, her tonsils looked almost normal. I'm continuing to roll the oil on her neck and feet to make sure it's gone but she feels great now. Love Shield!
