Need COVID virus support? Here's my protocol!
Becca Crawford
How’s my community doing in these challenging times?
My family and I have just recovered from COVID (or technically omicron) over the past two weeks. My teens were largely asymptomatic and my partner and I were struck with what I would call flu-like symptoms and headaches. The biggest mistake I made was to resume normal activities on day 3 when I started feeling better (thinking it was over) but it returned with a vengeance with debilitating migraines on day 7-9. If you are adrenally fatigued (like I was) any illness will hit you harder. My advice is to rest, rest, rest and wait until you are 100% fully recovered before resuming any normal activities.
I have posted my covid protocol that can support your body on the Star Anise Essentials FB group (pinned as an announcement at the very top for easy reference). If you are not a member of that closed group, I encourage you request to join. All my active YL members have automatic access to that FB group. The protocol involves a combination of nutritional supplements, YL oils, YL supplements and a wholefoods diet. Spending time in the sun and surf also helped me. I applied the YL oils in all the ways – topically, diffuse, steam inhalation and ingest (up to 3-4 drops of each oil listed daily). I feel so incredibly blessed to have access to these powerful YL oils and products to support my body.
If you’re not on FB, many people have joined FB solely to access the information in that closed page.
Has your YL account expired? If you haven’t ordered in over 12 months your account has expired. This would be a great time to reactivate by placing a 50PV order. If you do reactivate please do let me know so I can send you a free oil as my gift to you. If you join the free monthly loyalty program (called Essential Rewards) I will send you 2 oils as my gift to you committing to look after your health in 2022 through consistent monthly orders of products of your choice. If you want to chat about the loyalty program or have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or your support person.
I want to take this opportunity to remind you that the healthier you are the quicker you can recover and/or the less intense the symptoms are (all other things being equal). If nothing else, COVID is a ripe opportunity to prioritise our health (especially gut health which modulates our immune system!) and take care of ourselves through all of the foundations of health that I talk about in my Food as Medicine digital package.
And remember, viruses are a fabulous opportunity to reboot our immune system, cleanse the toxicity out of our system and give our bodies a physical, emotion and spiritual upgrade or reset. I always feel a heightened sense of clarity and a renewed zest for life after a major viral exposure. Humans have lived with viruses since the beginning of time and we have more bacterial and viral microbes in the human body than human cells (eg. hair, muscle, bone cells). Viruses inform and educate our immune system in a positive way and make us all the more robust. So if and when you receive that positive test, think of it as just that – something positive!
Sending you all so much love, light and strength
Stay well and reach out if you need support.
