Natural Remedies for Sickness

Today we are talking about diet and lifestyle changes, plus extra products I love, to help support your body in a natural way against sickness any pains.

This isn’t a magical formula to never get sick. But I am a big believer that:

1. We can support and prepare our bodies NOW with some natural remedies for sickness, so that when things do come up, we’re in a better place to fight them off. And
2. That despite not being against medicine, there are a lot of things we can do naturally to fight off sickness so we can leave the medicines for what they were created for, only when actually needed 🙂

This also isn’t to shame anyone FOR using medicines when sick. This is simply sharing my journey to trying to use more natural remedies to support my body and fight off sickness when it comes — and to give you ideas for how you can do it too if you want to!

ps: I am linking anything I do mention in the podcast on natural remedies for sickness down below, because I know just listening to what I say could be hard in this podcast!

Natural Remedies for Sickness — Diet & Lifestyle Changes & Products

For all my favorite young living products for immune system and sickness that I used pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy, see this link right here where I’ve made a specific page so you can easily scroll through just those and not all YL products! –>  https://www.myyl.com/sarahgracemeck#bwm/immune-system-support

As a note, as many of you know I use many products, oils, and supplements from Young Living. I will link them below separately, but know you can find all YL oils, supplements and products right HERE. Make sure to use my referral ID #18075069 as you checkout, because you’ll then get access to our private educational groups + 1-1 support from my team + my 90-day into to nontoxic living ecourse! Otherwise, they put ya with someone random 🙂 To get 24% off on any YL products, put your desired products on “subscribe to save” versus “1 time order”. Don’t worry, you can cancel or change your monthly order at any time, so that doesn’t mean you have to get those same products monthly!

I will say this — I rather you NOT use essential oils than buy the cheap ones off amazon or from your grocery store. First, they come with all kinds of fillers that could create negative effects for you. And second, they use quicker, cheaper processing and distilling methods that also lose the therapeutic benefits of the oils and just keep the scent. So you will spend money and then get no benefits form them. Basically what I’m trying to say is… don’t @ me if you use cheap oils and then have a bad reaction to them / they don’t work for you 🙂
