MAKEOVER
Natural solutions that are safer, cheaper &
more effective than traditional remedies
By Deb Haltuch
My intention is to educate and empower you so that you
can take control of your family’s health. I’ve found the
essential oils to be safer, cheaper, and more effective
than over the counter medicines. And, the essential oil
medicine cabinet is nearly 40% cheaper than the average
person’s medicine cabinet.
We are so fortunate to live in a time of such great medical advances, but there are limitations to modern medicine that we have all experienced.
So, what do you choose...let’s take a look at the options.
Modern Medicine

These drugs are designed to manage symptoms and
often just mask them.
Prescription drugs are made from isolated synthetic
agents designed to mimic natural substances such as
essential oils from plants.
All drugs have side effects and the misuse of prescription drugs has devastating consequences.
Annually, $4.5 trillion dollars is spent globally on
healthcare.
Are we healthier because of it?

In contrast, let me share the health benefits that can be
found in nature.
Nature’s Medicine

Nature’s medicine helps support the body by minimizing symptoms and addressing root causes.
? One of the most effective forms of natural medicine

use them is in the form of essential oils.
? Essential oils are used safely and without harmful
side effects.
? Another benefit, they cost pennies per dose. They
can also be administered in the comfort of your own
home, reducing trips to the doctor, exposure to other
illnesses, and co-pay.
So, with natural solutions we accomplish safer
healthcare...how about more effective healthcare?
?

Essential oils are 50-70 times more powerful than
herbs.
? They kill bacteria and inhibit the growth of viruses.
? They enter the bloodstream within 30 seconds.
? Essential oils are a natural antibiotic and have the
ability to kill bacteria.
Beyond that, they are able to penetrate the outer membrane of the cell wall. This means that essential oils can
go to work against viruses, too. So, if your doctor says,
“You have a virus. Go home, rest, and drink lots of fluids.
There isn’t anything else we can do.” You CAN do something else. Use your essential oils to help fight viruses!
One of the biggest perks of essential oils is that they are
friendly to all the natural safety barriers in the body.
Many companies produce or use essential oils but not all
essential oil products are equal. In fact, some could be
very toxic and harmful to our bodies.
There are different grades and it is important to be aware
of the distinctions.
•The lowest grade of essential oils are synthetic and are
produced in labs that have copied the components of the
oil. These oils are very low quality and are used in lotions
