It's so interesting at mid life to begin understanding how our brain/heart/gut work together. If one part suffers, other seemingly unrelated problems develop. Currently trying to remedy what might be considered mild arthritic pain and random patches of eczema. An anti-inflammatory product we found called "Turmerix" has made huge improvements.
Two researchers delving into the gut/brain connection are Julia Ruckledge and Bonnie Kaplan. Youtube has many of their resources.
Julia has done some Ted talks. When she discusses the research they have done treating people's psychological disorders with high-dose microntrients the products they mostly prescribed are from a company called "Truehope".
(They probably refrain from publicly endorsing the company because they are doing unbiased clinical research)
This video would be a great introduction;

You go girl! I’m looking forward to hearing how these strategies help you.
I use Young Living RC (respiratory and congestion) oil in my diffuser when my lungs need some extra help, along with their Thieves blend.
As I was reading, i started thinking of different strategies I have used to clean up my indoor environment. We live in a 130 yo farmhouse. The original part was built by hubby’s great grandfather in the 1880’s. It’s been added onto by every generation. When we first moved here 30+ years ago, I had the furnace ductwork cleaned. It really helped. Also, my daughter has an air purifier/filter she uses her 16mo son’s room to help him with allergies. They have noticed a difference as well.
One other idea—when I first started using EOs, I immediately started using lavender oil in my nasal passages. I would smear a drop in each nare, and then use just a bit of coconut oil in each one to finish. At that point (about 10 years ago) I had horrible hayfever in the fall (ragweed), and had a long-acting steroid shot every September. I started using oils in November and by the following fall, I barely noticed it was hayfever season. I haven’t had another steroid shot since.
Praying God guides you to the perfect combination of strategies for YOU.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I’m having a little struggle getting the kefir right, but I’m not giving up yet! Our house is brand new (2 years old), but I have thought about an air purifier. We’ll see what happens in winter when we fire up the wood stove.
We always enjoy your writing!
