Spring is arriving beautifully in the South and I’m itching to get outside! As a kid I remember so well the days warming up after a long cold snowy winter! I am originally from a tiny town in Kentucky that set on the Ohio River in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. When spring came, we couldn’t wait to kick our shoes off and go barefoot! After pleading with our Mom, she would finally let us go outside with our bare feet! I remember the sensation of stepping into the lush green prickly cool grass and dirt! What a wonderful experience!
It amazes me that something that gave us so much pleasure as a child now has been found to have been good for us all along, regardless of the many arguments that “we would catch our death of cold!” We obviously never knew about the great benefits! According to some emerging research from various health professionals going barefoot termed Earthing or Grounding is actually a healthy practice and could have many benefits such as the following:
Reducing inflammation by defusing excess positive electrons
Reducing chronic pain
Improving Sleep (I can vouch strongly for this!)
Increasing Energy (I noticed this also)
Lowering stress and promoting calmness by reducing stress hormones.
Normalizing biological rhythms including circadian rhythm
Improving blood pressure and blood flow
Relieving muscle tension and headache (I noticed this)
Lessens menstrual and female hormone symptoms
Speeds healing- used in some places to prevent bed sores
Can eliminate jet lag
Protecting the body from EMFs
Shortens recovery time from injury or athletic activity
Reducing or eliminating snoring
Helping support adrenal health
In the light of dirt and the earth being found to have relative health benefits, I wanted to pass this wonderful cutting edge resource from Dr. Joshua Axe entitled Eat Dirt! along to all who may be suffering in their health! I have found many helpful resources written or produced by Dr. Axe and have taken his advice to help with health issues for my own family.

I am writing this blog today because I truly hope to help someone who is living with someone that
is facing or has faced an undiagnosed illnesses. This road is not an easy road, but thanks be to GOD we are finally seeing the light at the end of a long, long
tunnel, knowing that according to the Bible that “Healing is the children’s bread.” We will see complete healing, but hopefully on this journey that my husband and
I have had to walk, we can help others by encouraging them to never give up hope. According to Psalms 107: He sent his word and healed and delivered from every destruction. So no matter what it looks like, my husband and I have complete faith that he will indeed be whole and well again.
I wanted to share very briefly our story although it is a story that spans 6 longs years as I am writing this……..
My husband got up one December morning in 2007and our lives were forever changed. He was having trouble with one of our vehicles so he being a Jack of all trades was going to fix it. He crawled underneath his Ford F-150 only to suddenly be overwhelmed by a sensation in his body that he could only describe as feeling like he was drowning from the inside. He explained to me and many doctors that it felt as though water rushed through from his feet and went all through his body and literally hit his lungs. He was barely able to crawl out from underneath the truck because he couldn’t take a deep breathe. We live in a home that has steps at every door, so he attempted to come up the stairs into the house and could not hardly take more than a step or two that he would have to stop and try to breathe.
What happened on that day sent us into a tale spin searching frantically for help. We are indeed Christians and no we hadn’t sinned….but we know that bad things happen to good people all the time! We of course began to pray and seek GOD for healing and used wisdom as my husband’s symptom’s grew worse. We sought out a number of doctors which included many specialist, to only be crushed when they would shake their heads and automatically try to treat him for diseases that they had not proved he even had such as COPD or Asthma. Don’t get me wrong, I thank GOD for doctors, at one point last year when my husband was placed in ICU, I was never so appreciative of the doctors and nurses who helped take care of him, but still when he came out of the hospital there was still no definite answers after 10 days of rigorously being tested as to what is really going on.
Long story short or shortened, it was suggested to us many times about going more to an Holistic approach. You’ve got to know my husband….He is a good old boy, a Redneck some may call him…He is all man, No foo foo stuff for him, but when disease is robbing you of time with your family and living in general, you will do whatever you can,to find help. No we are not weirdo’s, we are desperate for answers and needed someone to help us until the full manifestation of my husband’s healing manifest. Maybe those of you who do not believe that GOD still heals today may judge us as being crazy and weird, but honestly, your opinion has very little baring on how we believe. Until you walk our road and our journey, you really have no clue and I as a Christian pray that you would never have to face what we have had to walk through. I am not debating with those who do not believe that GOD heals, I am searching out GOD’s healing in whatever form He choses for it to happen. Doctors are not GOD they do not heal, they treat symptoms, my husband and I know that ultimately GOD is the healer.
Anyway, we took the advice of so many who had suggested that we go to a Naturopath and Holistic approach. Our decision to go and have my husband tested proved to be a right decision. We found out that there were several issues with his body and immediately the Naturopath began treating him with natural Essential Oils and Detoxing supplements to help flush out the toxins in his lungs and throughout his body. As crazy as it may sound, immediately my husband began getting relief. His Oxygen saturation levels which stayed entirely too low has began coming back up in the 90’s where they should be and daily we can see an improvement with his strength and energy levels coming back.
I said all of this so that those who read this would understand, that I am not just trying to sell Essential Oils and other products, but I am passionate about pointing others to something that is so pure and simple. GOD placed Adam and Eve in the garden and told them to simply live off the land. Why do we think that we can live off of processed foods and work in toxins and pollutants everyday and think that our bodies may not be affected somehow? I am not speaking sickness or disease over anybody, as a matter of truth, I personally declare the word of GOD over you in Isaiah that states: By Jesus’ stripes you are healed!
I am, however, simply sharing that 100% Essential Oils can possibly be something that one can use as natural preventive tools to help ward sickness and disease off before they occur. If this resonates with you in anyway, please check out my webpage’s link http://www.mydoterra.com/covenantessentials/ which contains information on how you or somebody you know may obtain the natural products that may be able to help them as they have my husband. Not only have they helped my husband, but I now use them for my whole family especially through allergy seasons etc… If you are walking through some kind of sickness, I encourage you to always trust GOD first, let him lead you down the pathway of healing for you. I’ve seen the healing power of GOD and have experienced in my own body, so I know he is our healer however he chooses to manifest it in our bodies.
