A preclinical study took a deep dive into how frankincense essential oil might help the body cope with extreme heat and here were the results 🔥➡️❄️

Researchers fed different groups varying amounts of frankincense EO in their diet (0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%) and compared them with a control group who got none 🧪.

Here’s where it gets interesting 👀:
• The highest-dose group (0.1%) showed noticeably higher levels of IgG, SOD, and GPx markers linked with antioxidant and immune activity 🛡️✨.
• The lowest dose boosted IgM, catalase, and total antioxidant capacity ⚡.
• The mid and high groups also showed increased levels of progesterone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone 🌿🩺.

Across all frankincense groups, adipokine levels dropped and ferroptosis-related pathways shifted, pointing toward changes in fat-related signalling and improved cellular protection mechanisms 🧬💪.

Tissue improvements were also noted in the liver, uterus, and ovaries🌸.

Full study I'll add to comments

Another day, another little capsule keeping me going 😅✨

You know when something’s just… lingering?
A random sneeze here, a sniffle there, throat dry AF but you’re still semi-functioning?

Yep. That’s me this week.

But I’m sticking with what supports my body because I know exactly what happens if I don’t:

Day 1 – dry throat, occasional sneeze 🤧
Day 2 – throat like razor blades, nose running nonstop 😵‍💫
Day 3 – fully congested and feeling rough 😩

I’m now on Day 4 and honestly… it still feels like Day 1.
And yes, I’m resting when I can (lol, “resting” in mum life terms)… but I’m still upright, still showing up, still doing the school runs and work bits 💁‍♀️🚗📚

This is why I chose this life.
Not masking. Not medicating.
But also not powerless.

Natural tools have helped me support my body before things get our of hand and I’m forever grateful I found them.

If you’re a mum who’s tired of feeling like you have no control over how your body handles these little curveballs… there are options.
And they actually work.

👶💧 I’ve just been looking through The Essential Midwife’s roller recipes for babies and pregnancy and Copaiba is in EVERY single one!

So why is that? 🤔

Copaiba is basically the gentle giant of essential oils. It is powerful, versatile, and incredibly calming for both body and mind.

🌿 It’s packed with beta-caryophyllene, a natural compound that supports the body’s endocannabinoid system (the one that helps regulate mood, inflammation, and balance).
💪 It soothes tiny muscles and growing bodies.
💧 It comforts emotional overwhelm (for mums and babies!).
😴 And it promotes deep, peaceful rest without being overpowering or intense.

It’s one of those oils that does so much, yet is so gentle you’ll see it pop up again and again in baby blends, pregnancy rollers, and everyday wellness routines.

If I had to choose one oil that quietly supports every stage of motherhood from bump to baby to bedtime it’s this one. 💛

Have you tried Copaiba yet? How do you love using it?

👶Kits for the whole family

When you get your starter kit you have everything you need to support you and your children whether that might be their emotional
Challenges, sleep, digestive issues or immune support.

Here are some of the many ways I like to use the top 10 oils with my children.

Air- natural decongestant, great for the inevitable this time of year, pop it in the diffuser, rub on chest & feet.

Lavender- all things calm. Add to a bath, diffuser, lotion, pillows... inhale deeply when the toddler is being loud AF 🤣

Teatree- immensely purifying. Apply to itchy skin, nappy rash, make a head pests prevention spray.

Oregano- apply to feet & spine for a natural immune system boost (always dilute this one) or add to meals - you only need a toothpick dipped in.

Deepblue- crooked neck from holding your baby all day? Deep blue has got you covered 🙌 also good for growing pains on older children. I've used it on my 3 year old whe he was complaining of achy knees 😄

Zengest- anything stomach related, travel sickness, nervous belly, zengest will soothe the inflammation whether that be going too often or not enough🚽 I especially enjoyed this blend when I was pregnant and nauseous.

Frankincense- does it all! If in doubt Frank it out or add to any other oil to drive and enhance them to where they need to be in the body. 😮

Onguard- especially great for babies born during the winter months to help support their immune system. You can diffuse or apply to soles of feet and/or spine. This one is a daily staple in our house and is applied before school everyday. 🛡

Lemon- throats feeling scratchy? Try adding this to your drinking water, older kids can have this too. Very gently supports the immune system so an alternative or addition to onguard is a great use for lemon.

Peppermint- fever fighter 💪 apply to spine, pulse points and back of neck when anyone is over heating. This one is also good for shock when little ones fall over or get scared suddenly.

Babies- dilute, dilute, dilute and if you're still nervous just apply to their feet or on you and they can smell it off of you.

From Face Picking to Face Loving

Years of trying every miracle skincare product under the sun each one promising clear, blemish-free skin.
They’d feel great at first, then BAM 💥 my spots would come back angrier than ever.

Turns out, I was stripping my skin of its natural oils the good stuff my face actually needed.

Then one random night at the cinema (Galaxy bar in hand 🍫), I had a lightbulb moment 💡
I realised…I touch my face. Constantly.
When I’m bored. Driving. Thinking. Basically whenever my hands aren’t otherwise occupied 😅

That night changed everything.
I stopped touching, ditched the harsh products, washed with just water, and used grapeseed oil overnight.
Within two weeks, my skin transformed.

That was even before my natural health journey but honestly, it was the first nudge towards it.

And now? My skin has never looked (or felt) better.
Here’s my simple little dream team 👇

✨ HD Clear Wash– gentle cleanse morning & night
✨ HD Clear Roller – my go-to for those pesky blemishes
✨ HD Clear Moisturiser – lightweight, soothing, and smells *so* refreshing
✨ EO Mega– supports healthy skin, heart, and brain (basically beauty + brains in a capsule)
✨ VMZ / VMG – vitamins, minerals & greens = nutrients your skin *and* energy will thank you for
✨ PB Assist / Restore– probiotics for a happy gut (because great skin starts in the belly)

Oh, and I’ve noticed a definite link between too much chocolate 🍫 and breakouts, so I’ve switched to darker (70%+) cocoa to keep the sugar and the spots down 💗

Sometimes the biggest glow-up comes from the smallest habits like not touching your face and nourishing from within.
