When you’re building a network marketing business, it’s important to keep yourself healthy because you are the driving force of your business. This business relies on your energy and your personal best, so we have to make sure you’re always in tip-top shape. How do we do that naturally, though? Let’s find out how we can naturally improve our health with Kari Davis!

What can we do to take care of ourselves?

Too many people want to help others but they forget to help themselves. Having a morning routine and some “me-time” really makes a difference. You should pour into yourself first. PUTTING THE GOOD IN IS THE ONLY WAY TO PUSH THE BAD OUT. Detoxify your thoughts and also your home. If you’re filled with a lot of chemicals, toxins, and fragrances, it fills up your body’s trash bucket of toxicity. When you’re filled with toxins, your body doesn’t serve you the way that it should. Start with a clean morning routine with clean products and thoughts to stay confident and attract other people to you too.

What are some of the products/things that you use in your personal life that could be beneficial?

This isn’t popular belief, but fragrance (I’m talking candles, perfume, etc), is the new 2nd hand smoke. So you can start there. Replace all your fragrances with a diffuser; it’s super fun because you can create custom smells for you and your family.When you smell something it immediately changes the way that we process emotions. That’s why when you smell a recipe that your mom used to make, or you ex-boyfriend used to wear, you instantly feel good or bad emotions. You have to cut the toxins from what you smell.

And also, clean with an all purpose cleaner with plant-based materials. When we clean with an all-purpose cleaner that’s filled with chemicals, we expose our whole family to it. We wipe the countertops, floors, tables, with it so it’s everywhere. We’re getting a toxic overload with all those chemicals. Just cleaning those two things first will make a world of a difference. And then you can be more proactive and use essential oils to boost your immune system, improve your mood, help your kids focus, and a lot more.

What happens is we have such a toxic overload that our bodies aren’t able to properly process emotions and the functionality that they need in our health. So it makes a really big difference really really quickly.

What are some of the biggest things you noticed when you switched?

Some of the biggest changes I’ve seen are I don’t get headaches as much as I used to. My kids have been so incredibly healthy and they respond so much quicker with natural solutions. Our bodies can only handle so much pollutants and chemicals, and your body’s trash bucket just keeps filling and filling. Once you lower that trash bucket, you will be surprised just how quickly your body serves you. How quickly you get over sicknesses, and when you do get sick, natural solutions just work so much faster because it doesn’t have to fight through the crud.

When you’re working with clients, what are some of the things you suggest that make a big impact when making the switch?

Usually, clients come for a pain point. But usually, we swap one thing at a time. We make a list of everything that they have and have them read the labels. It’s always surprising because most of the time you don’t know any of those ingredients, there’s just sooo many chemicals! Sometimes, people are ready to take a big collection of things and put it out in the garage. And that’s what I did! But some people want to swap out one thing at a time. Maybe it’s the all-purpose cleaner, and they’ll add a diffuser, take away the candles, switch out the dusting spray, or maybe their skin care products. Some people though, go right to their medicine cabinet.

Once you start to see the provision of God that 1 plant can replace so many different medicines that you really don’t need, and there’s so much cost savings, that some people move faster than they had anticipated.

What are some products that surprised you most when you made the switch?

The thing that shocked me the most was that some of the natural cleaners that I thought that I was buying, were just either essential oils in water and they’re charging a lot of money. When you make it yourself it costs 70 cents. And how a lot of cleaning supplies really just do the same things, but they’re just marketed to tell you that you need so many different cleaners.

How much better you feel when you’re using essential oils on your body. To be changing your mood, to be changing the mood of your little ones’ meltdowns, to be having something that’s a go-to to give them. It depends what’s going on in your home. It can get overwhelming though so I encourage people to just switch out one thing at a time. It’s important to start slow and teach your kids why so they don’t get overwhelmed too. Dig deep either with what the chemicals are doing or the benefits of the plants.

What are some of your favorite essential oils and what do you use them for?

My favorites are for emotional support. I love the grounding oils, Adaptive calms your emotions and helps you focus. Balance is another one that calms your emotions. My go-to’s have been an immune boosting oil; my kids respond so quickly to this oil. We very rarely have anything linger. Citrus oils to diffuse, they’re really inexpensive and they smell like sunshine!
