Snoring Solutions with Essential Oils
Snoring is one of those issues that effects not just the snorer, but his or her partner as well! Snoring is associated with sleep apnea, which is a major cause of chronic fatigue, health issues, and even emotional and mental disturbances. And, well–it’s just not sexy.
So if there was an easy and enjoyable way to reduce or eliminate snoring, wouldn’t you jump at the chance to give it a try? I just have to share this with everyone I know, because it has made such a difference in the lives of some of my customers.
This recipe contains some of the most studied oils found to be effective against snoring and sleep apnea. If the recipe below is not quite strong enough, you can resort to the stronger version, which has even more clout, but also has a stronger aroma.
To enhance your potential for success, you can try the following things:
- 20 to 30 minutes before bedtime, diffuse Snoring Solutions Diffusion Blend (see recipe below) in your bedroom. Once you actually go to bed, you can turn the diffuser off, as the air should be saturated.
- Massage neck, upper back, and chest with Anti-Snore Massage Oil (recipe below) just before going to bed. For an extra insurance, massage the oil onto the bottom of your big toes, which are reflex points to the head.
- Use a wedge pillow, or two pillows so that you are on an incline when you sleep.
- Another study found that sleeping on your side, with a full body pillow, works for many people.
- Don’t drink alcohol–it causes the back of the throat muscles to relax enabling snoring. People who don’t normally snore will often snore after consuming alcohol before bedtime.
- Use a neti-pot with saltwater solution to open breathing passages before going to bed.
Anti-Snore Massage Oil Recipe
30 ml or 1 ounce of carrier oil, sweet almond or jojoba
7 drops lavender essential oil
7 drops lemon essential oil
7 drops marjoram essential oil
7 drops Atlas cedar essential oil
16 drops owyhee essential oil (peach artemisia)
Combine oils in a 1 ounce bottle. Shake well.
Massage on neck, upper back, shoulders, and chest, just before you go to bed. Keep the bottle within reach so you can use it again if you should awaken from snoring in the night.
Super Strong Anti-Snore Massage Oil Recipe
Replace essential oils in the recipe above with:
7 drops peppermint essential oil
10 drops thyme linalol essential oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
7 drops river red gum essential oil (eucalyptus camaldulensis)
10 drops owyhee essential oil
Mix and use the same as the first recipe. Rosewood, spruce, citronella, geranium, and clove have all been used successfully for sleep apnea and snoring as well. Please feel free to experiment with this!
Snoring Solutions Diffuser Blend Recipe
In a 5ml bottle, combine:
1 ml (20 drops) thyme linalol essential oil
1 ml (20 drops) river red gum essential oil
1.5 ml (30 drops) rosewood essential oil
1 ml (20 drops) owyhee essential oil
0.5 ml (10 drops) clove essential oil
Diffuse this blend for 20 minutes before you go to bed every night.
Some people notice a decrease in snoring in as little as 3 nights. Others may take up to 6 weeks to see results, so don’t give up too early.
Sometimes people can eventually go without using the essential oils after a period of time on this program. Others find that they need to stay consistent to keep sleep apnea or snoring from returning. Either way, it is a great tool for getting a good night’s sleep (and saving your marriage too!).

Transforming the Experience of the Karmic Wheel
When you have developed a strong spiritual center, concentrating the I AM consciousness in the center of the Karmic Wheel, you will naturally begin to know how you can quickly transform the experience of the low frequency (Dark) phases of the cycle, and enhance your experience of the high frequency (Light) phases of the cycle. This happens through the practice of Gratitude and Acceptance.
To do this, follow this map.
- When you find yourself in love, express and hold the frequency of Gratitude for all the love in your life.
- When you find yourself giving your partner credit, express and hold the frequency of Gratitude and appreciation for his or her strengths and gifts.
- When you find yourself feeling independent, express and hold the frequency of Gratitude and appreciation for your own strengths and gifts.
- When you find yourself feeling out of love, hold the frequency of Acceptance of your own negativity and feelings. Recognize that they are just feelings that are a part of the cycle, and they have nothing to do with genuine, true love.
- When you find yourself assigning blame, hold the frequency of Acceptance of his or her weaknesses and human-ness.
- When you find yourself feeling needy or empty, hold the frequency of Acceptance for your own weaknesses and human-ness.
This is the fastest way to transform the experience of the Medicine Wheel of Relationahip. If you work with this over time, you will still be on the Karmic Wheel, but your experience of the cycle will be completely different. This is a stage of manifestation that we sometimes try to avoid, yet it will keep reappearing in your life, challenging you to grow in consciousness.
The more experience you gain in working with it, the better. And do not think that it will be different if you have a different partner. We are all human, and we will attract the same lesson to us if we do not find a way to break through and realize that we are actually creating our own experience, through the thoughts and feelings that we hold in our field.
If we work through these issues until we have reached a state of neutrality, love, and acceptance in our lives, only then can we leave a partnership in completion. At that point, we can clear the slate and co-create a new partnership that truly is different.
Many partners experience this process together because they are both at a similar stage of enlightenment. Each can be an ally to the other in this growth period, if they make agreements with each other to disengage, and truly help each other on their individual paths of self understanding and enlightenment.
Whether you do it alone or with your partner consciously participating, when you make it through this transformation, you will both have the freedom of choice on how to re-create this or any other relationship.
When you are living in a state of conscious choice, you will move into the stage of consciousness where enlightenment begins.

Who Should Avoid Parasite Cleansing?
Not everyone should take an herbal parasite cleanse. Do not use ParaThunder or any cleansing formula in these situations:
People who have never done parasite cleansing before (unless they have a health professional who has experienced parasite cleansing to support them)
Those who have a weakened body condition because of disease, degeneration, or injury (In this case it would be better to rebuild the body first for a period of months before undertaking a parasite cleanse)
People who are extra sensitive, elderly, or children under 14 (unless supervised by an experienced health professional)
Pregnant women should not cleanse at all until after they give birth and have finished breast feeding
People taking pharmaceutical drugs, unless recommended and assisted by a health professional
Please read our disclaimer.
Medications and parasite cleansing–do they go together?
There are many medications which should not be taken with an herbal cleanse of any kind. Herbal cleanses can change the way drugs are absorbed, or reduce their effectiveness.
Always check with your health care professional before using this or any herbal cleansing formula if you are taking pharmaceutical drugs or medications.
If you are taking any medications, and your physician or other health care provider approves this parasite cleanse, take each dose of ParaThunder at least 2 hours away from taking any medications.
Please read our disclaimer.
Vibrational Remedies Blending–Dosage Level Dilutions
Vibrational remedies blending is easy. Here’s how to make a dosage level remedy from a stock level remedy.
Fill a glass bottle (1oz or 30 ml), one third full with your choice of vodka, apple cider vinegar, or saturated salt water. (If you choose to use vinegar, fill the bottle half full).
Add your base number (usually 10) of drops of stock level remedy to the bottle.
Fill the bottle up with spring water, distilled water, or other pure water.
Shake at least 100 times.
Label the bottle for convenience.
Now you have a dosage level vibrational remedy. For usage instructions, go here.
We also sell pre-diluted dosage level as well as our stock level remedies.
Making a Custom Blend
Sometimes a blend of several different remedies is the best choice for your remedy. To make a blend, follow these easy steps.
Fill a glass bottle (1oz or 30 ml), one third full with your choice of vodka, apple cider vinegar, or saturated salt water. (If you choose to use vinegar, fill the bottle half full).
Add one to three drops of each stock level remedy you want to include, into the bottle.
Fill the bottle up with spring water, distilled water, or other pure water.
Shake at least 100 times.
Label the bottle for convenience.
Now you have a custom blended dosage level vibrational remedy. For usage instructions, go here.
Making a Super Potency Remedy
Vibrational remedies are a form of homeopathics. Their energetic action actually gets stronger the more they are diluted out. For an increased potency, our vibrational remedies can be diluted out one more time.
To create this super-potent form, take the same number of drops you used to make the dosage essence. From the dosage level remedy, drop this number of drops into a new bottle of pure water and your preservative, and shake it 100 times.
You now have an extra strong level vibrational remedy. We have found this useful for supporting DNA activation, energy healing such as Reiki, soul retrieval, or chakra balancing. It is also useful for people who have a high tolerance for herbal remedies, or do not notice results when they use a regular dosage level remedy.
Saturated Salt Water–a beautifully light preservative
Vibrational remedies usually require some form of natural preservative when made by hand. We use pure, saturated salt water in many of our vibrational remedies as a preservative.
- We use a dark bottle that will decrease light exposure. Miron violet glass preserves the energetic integrity of our vibrational remedies, and will do so for years when properly stored.
- We use a combination of salts from sacred sites, including an ancient indigenous salt cave near our home.
- We feel that using sacred salt brings a deep energetic connection to the elemental forces, helping those who use our remedies to feel grounded and connected with the Earth.

Food Supplements for High Frequency and Vibrant Health
As you may know, I am not a real fan of supplementation. It is my point of view that we should be getting our nutrition from our foods, the way nature designed for us.
That said, many foods that are available today are devoid or depleted of nutrition, due to agricultural practices, poor water sources, and massive soil mineral depletion. Even organic certification does not guarantee that the foods are as nutritious as they should be.
For this reason, there are just a few supplements that I feel are worth considering if you are a raw food enthusiast, vegan, vegetarian, or recovering from an illness; or if you just know that you are not eating as well as your body needs you to. Though no supplements can do it alone, these few provide a wonderful support for shifting into a healthy diet and lifestyle. Michael and I have used these supplements personally, and can recommend each of them from our own experience.
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is considered by some experts to be one of the most beneficial anti-oxidant supplements available. It’s antioxidant power is 550 times stronger than Vitamin E, and 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C! Astaxanthin is so regenerative for human use, that is currently used as a general supplement for counteracting the effects of aging; for eye health; for heart health; and even for increasing athletic performance. (Michael and I both take this supplement daily to enhance our journey through the ascension process, as we grow older). I would suggest it to almost everyone, especially if they are noticing the effects of aging, or suffering from any degenerative condition.
CoQ10 (aka Ubiquinol)
This nutrient is essential to maintaining cellular level energy. As we grow older, our blood levels of ubiquinol decline, and we experience this as aging at a cellular level. According to Dr. Mercola’s website, people younger than 25 should only use regular CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) because their bodies have been shown to absorb it better. Older people should use Ubiquinol—the form that our bodies produce. This nutrient is a key factor in heart and cardiovascular health; protection from free radical damage; maintaining a sharp mind and brain power as we grow older; maintaining a strong immune system; and keeping blood pressure in a healthy range.
Nascent Iodine
Iodine in its atomic form, this supplement nourishes the thyroid gland to produce sufficient amounts of T3 and T4. It is highly absorbable in its nascent form, and helps regenerate the thyroid and protect it from radiation damage. Many people experience a whole new emotional reality once they get enough of this essential mineral. It boosts energy levels naturally, and helps provide the building blocks for a healthy thyroid and hormone production.
Krill Oil
The world’s richest source of Omega 3 fatty acids, Krill oil is superior to regular fish oils because it can be harvested more sustainably; and it is relatively free of mercury and other toxins that plague fish oils. The Omega 3 provided in Krill oil is also said to be more bioavailable than the type provided by fish oils. Krill oil helps to normalize blood sugar levels, supports a healthy brain and nervous system, supports healthy joints, supports heart and cardiovascular health, promotes balanced blood cholesterol, and helps maintain a strong immune system. It is also helpful for PMS and menopausal symptoms, and helps balance emotional energy and mood swings.
Brazil Live Coral Calcium Supplement
Nearly every American is deficient in this mineral, and its partners, sodium and magnesium. The average American diet is short of necessary daily calcium requirements by 40%. Many people believe that they have too much calcium in their blood, when they begin to develop hardening of tissues or calcium deposits in joints and on bones. In fact the opposite is true; when calcium begins to build in places where it does not belong, it is a prime indicator that we are depleted in calcium, and in the minerals that keep it in solution in our bodies; the sodium and magnesium. Sufficient calcium levels are critical for bone health, muscle function, lung health, periodontal health, cardiovascular health, mood balancing, and much more. This is a natural, absorbable, and sustainably harvested product that can fulfill calcium needs in a balanced way–good for humans and good for the environment.
Mt. Capra Mineral Whey
One of the best sources for easily absorbable minerals available, this is a sustainably produced powdered mineral whey. This highly alkalinizing supplement balances electrolytes in the blood, and provides over 20 minerals that are highly bio-available. Digestion nearly always improves with this supplement; as well as chronic knee and lower back pain. Anyone healing a degenerative condition will benefit greatly by taking this, as it is one of the finest acid neutralizers around.

Setting Up Your Fermented Kitchen
At first, you may try making a few fermented veggies, or a sourdough starter, to supplement the fermented foods that you purchase in the health food store.
But pretty soon, you’re likely to find how FUN and EASY fermentation is! You may quickly expand into making all of your own fermented foods. Here are some things to consider when setting up your kitchen to make fermenting easy.
Four Basics
The four basics of fermentation are all interconnected. It actually becomes easiest when you include all of them in your culinary routine, as they each produce things that compliment the others. The four basics are fermented drinks, fermented vegetables, sourdough starter, and fermented milks.
King Kutter
Some tools you will need include the Volrath Redco King Kutter. This hand operated food grater makes cutting and grating vegetables really easy! You can whip out a quart of cabbage for cole slaw or sauerkraut in just a few minutes with this gem. It is easier to clean than any electric food processor, and way easier on the knuckles than a hand grater.
Covered Pottery Dishes
A nice thing to have, though not altogether necessary, is a pretty covered hand made pottery casserole or other covered ceramic dish, about 1-1/2 or 2 quarts in size. Make sure the cover is loose enough to let air in. This makes an attractive container in which to grow your sourdough culture.
Butter Muslin
You will need a supply of butter muslin available here. Don’t settle for cheap, fine cheesecloth like you find in the grocery or hardware store. You will get many more miles out of real butter muslin.
Glass Jars
You can acquire some Ball brand jars (or Kerr brand) from the local Salvation Army or Thrift Store. During late summer and autumn seasons, you can also get them by the case in many grocery stores, and even in a big box store like Wal-Mart. You will want to start out with a couple of cases of 1 quart size, and maybe a case of pint size jars with screw on rings and lids.
Strainer
A large sized strainer and bowl that will fit together, are really necessary the cheese making process, and producing the whey that is foundational for vegetable fermenting.
Wood Utensils
Wooden or plastic spoons are necessary, as lacto-bacilli and most of the ferment cultures you will find will react with metal. Don’t use it with fermented foods.
Flat Tray
It is helpful to have a cookie sheet or a flat tray of some kind, to place on your counter during the first phase of fermentation. Jars will hiss and spit, and small amounts of liquid may come leaking out. This is normal during the active phase of fermentation, which may last a week or 10 days. The pan or tray will help to keep leaking juices off of the counter.
What is Fermentation
When microorganisms, such as bacteria, molds, and yeasts colonize and process foods, it is called fermentation.
There are many different kinds of yeasts, molds, and bacteria. Some of them are harmful, and will make food dangerous or unpalatable.
If the organisms are properly controlled, fermentation can create food that is highly nutritious, tasty, and long lasting.
One of the most useful types of fermentation is called lacto-fermentation. This process results from bacteria called lactobacilli. These bacteria convert sugars and starches into lactic acid, which acts as an effective preservative. They live everywhere, but are commonly found in milk and yogurt.
Other common fermenters are wild yeasts. They live in the air, and are found all over common household surfaces. They make fermented grain foods, such as sourdough culture for bread and pancakes.
Health Benefits
- Fermented foods boost the immune system, helping us to remain free of disease. It supports recovery from all kinds of degenerative conditions and auto-immune diseases, including arthritis, cancers, diabetes, and more.
- Fermentation preserves food, without cooking all of the life force and nutritional value out of it. Many fermented foods can be stored for months, or even years.
- Fermentation increases the nutrient content of foods, especially the Vitamin B complex and trace minerals.
- Fermented foods increase digestibility, and more of the food’s nutrients are absorbed and assimilated. It can help support recovery from digestive ailments of all kinds.
- And best of all, fermentation enhances and improves food flavor!
How to Know if Your Fermented Food is Good
Properly fermented foods should be stored in a cool, dark place such as a basement, cool pantry or cupboard, or–if you are one of the lucky ones who have one–a root cellar.
Bad smells, slimy or stringy brine, and colored molds are all signs that the food has gone bad. White mold (called kahm yeast) is not harmful, and can be skimmed off the food before eating.
The Four Basics
There are 4 basic families of fermented foods, which all interact together to make a strong foundation for a health enhancing diet. They are
- Sourdough Culture
- Whey and Fermented Milks
- Fermented Drinks
- Fermented Vegetables
You may start out with just one or two of these families, but will eventually want to bring all four into your kitchen. These are the four cornerstones of fermented high frequency eating!
