Known as a popular cooking spice, Oregano also acts as a powerful cleansing agent, and offers powerful antioxidants*—extending its uses far beyond the ...

Description Oregano is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional health practices for its cleansing and immune-boosting properties.* The primary chemical components of Oregano are carvacol and thymol, both in the phenols group, which possess cleansing and antioxidant properties.* Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano; only one to two drops is needed. Additionally, Oregano should be diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin. One drop taken daily can help maintain healthy immune function; Oregano can be taken more frequently when seasonal threats are high or as needed to further support the immune system.* In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano also supports healthy digestion.* Oregano acts as an enhancer and equalizer in essential oil blends and can help support healthy respiratory function when taken internally.* Uses Take one drop daily to maintain healthy immune function.* Add one to two drops to a veggie capsule to support healthy respiratory function.* Put one drop in place of dried oregano in spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, or on a roast. Put 10 drops in a 16-ounce spray bottle with water for a surface cleaner. Directions for Use Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice. Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid. Topical use: Dilute one to two drops with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil then apply to desired area. Cautions Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. Statements with asterisks refer to internal use. All others refer to aromatic or topical use. More Info Why Oregano Presentation

Mercury pollution contaminating Arctic wildlife, causing death and reproductive problems among bird populations, studies show Wednesday, July 20, 2016 by: Wes Maxwell Tags: mercury contamination, Arctic, shorebirds Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/054712_mercury_contamination_Arctic_shorebirds.html#ixzz4Hr8ed9SI

Mercury pollution contaminating Arctic wildlife, causing death and reproductive problems among bird populations, studies show Wednesday, July 20, 2016 by: Wes Maxwell Tags: mercury contamination, Arctic, shorebirds (NaturalNews) New research published in The Condor: Ornithological Applications, has shown that shorebirds breeding in Alaska are being exposed to alarming levels of mercury, putting their entire population at risk. Shorebirds travel to Alaska for their breeding season in the spring, before making the long trek down to Central and South America for the fall and winter. Due to atmospheric circulation and other factors at play in the Northern hemisphere, high amounts of mercury deposits have been found to accumulate in the Arctic, raising concerns for the breeding populations of these birds. Arctic mercury pollution causing harmful effects on shorebird populations According to Phys.org, mercury exposure has been linked to reduced reproductive success and other adverse health reactions in shorebirds. Even more alarming, the type of mercury present in the aquatic environments that shorebirds commonly forage in, is, for the most part, methylmercury, the chemical element's most dangerous form. As a result, Marie Perkins of the Biodiversity Research Institute, conducted a study to investigate the exact levels of mercury concentrations in shorebirds and their resulting effects. By collecting blood and feathers from nine different shorebird species breeding in the Arctic, Perkins and her team of researchers found that some shorebirds examined had "mercury concentrations upwards of two micrograms per gram of blood." Additionally, shorebird species that commonly foraged in areas distant from highly concentrated methyl-mercury wetlands were found to have the lowest levels of mercury in their blood. "These species already face a lot of tough new challenges, from climate change to disappearing stop-over habitat, so throwing a neurotoxin in the mix that can reduce reproductive success is likely to harm their populations," wrote Dan Cristol of the College of William & Mary, a researcher not involved in the study. Effects of mercury on shorebirds' migration abilities What Cristol believes to be a bigger threat to shorebirds' livelihood than mercury's effect on their reproductive ability though, is its affect on these birds' capacity to carry out arduous, lengthy migrations. According to Stanford.edu, many shorebird species travel more than 15,000 miles over the course of their annual migrations, sometimes traveling up to 2,000 miles non-stop in less than two days. Cristol, who is an expert researcher on mercury's effect on birds, is worried that mercury levels in shorebirds "probably spike when they leave the breeding grounds and start burning their reserve fuel, making their already arduous continent-jumping trips even harder." While much more research needs to be done to determine exactly how exposure to mercury and other heavy metal toxins can result in adverse health effects for Arctic shorebirds, the results so far don't look too promising. For this reason, researchers like Marie Perkins have been encouraged to expand their studies on mercury exposure in Arctic shorebirds. Perkins, who is currently pursuing her PhD at McGill University, is "working in collaboration with BRI and the Arctic Shorebird Demographics Network to closely examine mercury exposure in multiple shorebird species breeding across the North American Arctic."

Beef Bone Broth

Beef Bone Broth Ingredients 3 pounds beef soup bones (knuckle, neck, or marrow bones) 1 cup water 4 medium carrots, cut up 3 medium onions, unpeeled and cut up 6 stalks celery with leaves, cut up 2 tablespoons dried basil or thyme, crushed 1 tablespoon salt 20 whole black peppercorns 16 sprigs fresh parsley 4 bay leaves 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled and halved 18 cups cold water 2 tablespoons cider vinegar Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place soup bones in a large shallow roasting pan. Roast about 45 minutes or until browned, turning once. Place soup bones in a 10- to 12-quart stockpot. Pour the 1 cup water into the roasting pan and scrape up browned bits; add water mixture to pot. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to low. Gently simmer, covered, 8 to 12 hours. (For a gentle simmer, you should see tiny bubbles coming to the surface. You will want to monitor cooking so it does not boil. Gentle cooking helps to draw out and develop the flavor of the broth.) Remove soup bones from broth. Scoop out as many vegetables as you can with a slotted spoon. Strain broth through 4 layers of 100-percent-cotton cheesecloth placed in a colander. Discard vegetables and seasonings. If using the broth while hot, skim fat. Or chill broth in a bowl at least 6 hours; lift off fat with a spoon. Place broth in airtight containers. Cover and chill up to 3 days or freeze up to 6 months. If desired, when bones are cool enough to handle, remove meat. Chop meat; discard bones. Place meat in airtight containers. Cover and chill up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months. From the Test Kitchen SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS Prepare as directed, except reduce all ingredients by half. Roast bones as directed in Step 1. Pour the 1 cup water into the roasting pan and scrape up browned bits. In a 6-quart slow cooker combine the water mixture and remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low 10 to 12 hours.

Lock lid in place. Set electric cookers on high pressure to cook for 1 1/2 hours. For stovetop cookers, bring up to pressure over medium-high heat according to manufacturer's directions; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat. For electric and stovetop models, let stand to release pressure naturally for at least 15 minutes or according to manufacturer's directions.

Ask your butcher to cut the marrow bones into 2 to 3 inch lengths; this helps expose more of the marrow. You also can save bones from pot roasts and steaks to use for stock. Simply store them in an airtight container in the freezer until you are ready to use them. Be super thrifty and save your bones from prepared broth. They can be reused for another batch of broth. The broth won't have as much flavor in the second round, but will still make good broth.

Petra McLoughlin Like This Page · April 11 · The change of seasons always brings a new perspective on life for me. The expectancy and excitement of summer has passed here in the southern hemisphere, and the slowing down and wrapping up in warm clothes of autumn has commenced. My current garden is akin to Mars: its baron, there’s lots of rock in it, minimal habitation, and fairly uninspiring. The arrival of autumn has brought a little much-needed rain and the “garden” has responded by sprouting some weeds. 6 months ago in spring I had left the arrival of them, hoping they would just go away and it took a marathon effort to extract them from the ground. They had taken root with fervour, spread and amassed in numbers. This time I thought it would be a good idea to get onto them ASAP and not have such a difficult task. As I plucked them with ease out of the ground one by one, I thought of the similarities of negative thoughts in our minds. How if they are left unchecked they can dig in and take root. It we continue to have access to food and water how they fester and can take over, inhabiting the space there is for all the good and positive thoughts.
