Essential Oils For Motherhood: A Quick Survival Guide

It's undoubtedly one of the most rewarding roles in the world, but it's also one of the toughest jobs in existence. Motherhood is a roller coaster ride of bumps, bruises, scratches, tantrums, snuggles, play dates, laughter, tears, and everything in between. 

It's impossible to predict what may happen next when there are kids around, so moms have to be prepared to handle whatever situation may arise. This is often easier said than done, and sometimes moms have to make things up as they go along. However, there are certain things you can do help prepare you for the various situations that may present.

Building Your Survival Kit

As a mom, it's important that you build a survival kit you can use to get you through the tough situations that may present. The tools in your survival kit will adapt as your children grow, as diapers and wipes are exchanged for bandaids, emergency snacks, etc. 

No matter how old your kids are, there are certain tools that your survival kit should never be without. Essential oils are a prime example. These powerful resources offer numerous benefits that can be beneficial in practically any situation. Keep reading to learn more about the essential oils that should be kept in your mom's survival kit, courtesy of the Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy.

5 Essential Oils For Your Motherhood Survival Kit

1. Stress Away - This mix of Cedarwood, Lavender, Vanilla, Copaiba, and Lime is relaxing and grounding.
2. Peppermint - The refreshing and invigorating qualities of this versatile oil make it the perfect midday pick-me-up. (Warning: peppermint can have an adverse affect on milk supply and should not be used by breastfeeding mothers.)
3. Lavender - This soft, soothing scent can be diffused, added to bathwater, or applied to kids' feet to help get a better night's rest.
4. Peace & Calming - This tangy mix of Orange, Ylang Ylang, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Tangerine, and Patchouli is another great way to set the mood for a relaxing evening or afternoon nap.
5. Thieves - This is a Young Living favorite. Its uses are as powerful as they are varied; Thieves can be used for anything from immune defense to household cleaning.

It Doesn't Have To Stop There!

Though the five oils we just discussed could be considered the "essential" components of your survival kit (see what we did there?), the list doesn't have to stop there. There are several other essential oils that may come in handy when dealing with the everyday demands of motherhood, such as:

• Eucalyptus - Purifying and cleansing
• Clary Sage - Calming and relaxing
• Bergamot - Calming and confidence-boosting
• Rosemary - Promotes mental clarity

Find All Your Must-Haves At The Lime In The Coconut

In addition to the full line of Young Living Essential Oils™, our specialty compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks carries a wide array of herbal supplements to help you keep your family in superb health. If you should find yourself in need of prescription medication, our compounding experts can formulate your or your child's prescription specifically to your needs.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Thank you for all that you do.

Do You Have An Unhealthy Gut? 6 Warning Signs

Gut health is a crucial component of overall health. Your gastrointestinal tract is a delicate ecosystem home to millions of microorganisms. If this ecosystem becomes compromised or imbalanced, you may experience any number of adverse health effects.

In order to maintain overall physical health, you must restore balance to this system as quickly as possible. Your compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to help by identifying some potential warning signs of an unhealthy gut.

Possible Warning Signs Of An Unhealthy Gut 

1. Poor Immune System
Do you find yourself getting sick constantly? If your microbiome is out of whack, it can affect your immune system in multiple ways. One example is that the membranes of the intestinal walls may become permeable, allowing toxins to escape into the rest of the body. Your immune cells must work around-the-clock to keep these toxins in check, draining them of the energy required to fight off additional viruses and bacteria. Alternatively, an over-population of harmful bacteria may suppress the immune system or prevent it from functioning altogether.

2. Skin Irritations Or Blemishes
We don't often think of it as such, but skin is an organ - in fact, it's the largest organ we have. Multiple studies have recently discovered links between skin conditions and gastrointestinal challenges such as bloating and constipation. It is reasonable to believe that skin irritations, blemishes, and conditions such as acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and psoriasis can sometimes be the result of an unhealthy or unbalanced microbiome. 

3. Difficulty Maintaining A Healthy Weight
The bacteria that reside in our gastrointestinal tract play a significant role in digestion. Recent studies have shown that in comparison to slim individuals, obese people tend to have higher levels of certain bacteria and lower levels of others. Since each of these types of bacteria play important roles in the breakdown of sugars and storing/burning of fat, scientists believe that this bacterial imbalance may be partially responsible for an obese individual's challenges of maintaining a healthy weight.

4. Autoimmune Diseases

A person is diagnosed with an autoimmune disease when his immune cells mistake healthy, needed cells as foreign bodies that must be attacked. While the root cause of many autoimmune diseases are still unknown, some experts speculate that they may be linked to an imbalance of bacteria in the gut. We know that this bacteria plays a vital role in maintaining our immune system, so it seems reasonable to believe that an imbalanced gut may be partially responsible for the development of some autoimmune disorders.

5. Digestive Issues
This is perhaps one of the most obvious signs that a body's internal microbiome has been thrown off-balance. Because the bacteria in your gut plays such an integral role in the digestive process, a person with an unhealthy gut may experience any number of adverse digestive symptoms. These may include (but are not limited to) gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, and acid reflux.

6. Mental Health Challenges
The concept of a gut-brain connection is relatively new to modern medicine, but it seems to hold several an incredibly powerful (and relevant) insights. Just as feelings of stress or nervousness can affect the gut, an imbalanced gut can directly affect the brain. Individuals who are battling with mental health issues may have an imbalance of healthy and unhealthy bacteria in their guts.

Healing An Unhealthy Gut

While the symptoms we just described are certainly not limited to imbalances in the body's natural microbiome, they are often related. If you are experiencing any of the health challenges we have discussed, it might be wise to take steps to restore balance to the bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract.

The first (and possibly the most important) step you should take is to clean up your diet. If possible, you may also want to consider moving way from antibiotics and other prescription medications (including birth control) that may be upsetting your body's natural ecosystem. You can also take steps to rebuild a population of healthy bacteria by consuming probiotics. Probiotics are found naturally in certain foods such as natural Greek yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi. They can also be taken in the form of oral supplements.

Pick Up Your Probiotic At The Lime!

Our pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks offers a superior probiotic supplement called Ortho Biotic. It is one of our top-selling products, and for good reason. This special blend of bacteria strains have been specially chosen to complement and complete the body's natural ecosystem. For more information about probiotics, contact our Lake of the Ozarks compounding pharmacist by calling (573) 964-6786.

Staying Healthy During The Holidays

We've said it before and we'll say it again: your health is your most valuable asset. No matter how you plan on celebrating the holiday season, we encourage you to make a conscious effort to keep your immune system strong and your health intact. Our compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to help you stay healthy this holiday season with these quick, common-sense reminders.

1. Watch Your Nutrition
Cookies, candy, hot chocolate, Christmas cocktails... sweet treats and alcohol are far too accessible during the holidays. Indulging in a special beverage or a decadent dessert isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's important to do so in moderation. Your body has to work hard to process toxins like sugar and alcohol, so consuming large quantities of these substances can weaken your body's natural defenses and make you more likely to get sick. 

2. Don't Underestimate The Importance Of Mental Health
Your mental state plays a huge role in your overall physical health. If you are extremely stressed, for example, you may be more likely to catch a cold or nasty virus that could lead to a headache, fever, or stomach bug. Avoid overloading yourself with too many commitments this holiday season. Don't be afraid to say "no" when necessary!

3. Stay Active
Physical exercise boosts your immune system and contributes to greatly improved overall health. The cold temperatures and hectic schedules sometimes make it all too tempting to let exercise slide to the back burner (or off the stove entirely) during the holidays, but it's often far easier to make time for a little bit of exercise every day than being sick for several days in a row.

4. Make It From Scratch
When cooking or baking this holiday season, taking the time to make your items from scratch provies a great opportunity to make them more healthy. Instead of blindly filling your body with the refined sugars in the cake mix, for example, you can make your own and substitute healthier sweeteners (like agave nectar). It doesn't have to be a huge concession on your part to make a big difference - a little bit goes a long way!

5. Avoid Unnecessary Contact With Germs
As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. One of the best ways to keep yourself from getting sick is to simply avoid contact with germs and illness-causing bacteria. Wash your hands with soap and warm water frequently, and avoid sharing foods or beverages with other people. There's a reason these suggestions are so pervasive in our society - they go a long way towards reducing unnecessary exposure to unhealthy viruses and bacteria.

6. Increase Your Body's Natural Defenses
Your body is equipped with germ-fighting cells and bacteria that are designed to keep you healthy. In addition to eating a healthy, balanced diet, you can increase this natural defense system by taking immune-boosting supplements. We offer a variety of these supplements, including elderberry juice and probiotics. 

Happy Holidays From The Lime!
On behalf of everyone at our Lake of the Ozarks pharmacy, we hope you and your family enjoy a safe and healthy holiday season. If there is any way we can be of service to you, please don't hesitate to let us know! We look forward to talking with you.

8 Ways To Strengthen Your Immune System This Flu Season

The colder weather and changing leaves make it impossible to ignore - fall is officially here. The changing temperatures (coupled with the new school year that is now in full swing) can take a serious toll on your immune system if you aren't prepared. This flu season, your friends at The Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy are here to help you stay ahead of the game with these simple but effective strategies to strengthen your immune system.

1. Avoid Sugary Foods
It can be hard to avoid sugar's enticing (and often downright addicting) lure, but consuming large quantities of sugar weakens your immune system. This can make you more susceptible to the germs that you will inevitably be exposed to this flu season. Do your immune system a favor by cutting back on sweet treats.

2. Get Plenty Of Sleep
Our body regenerates during sleep. A short night here and there may not be too problematic, but if you have several short nights in a row, you can begin to rack up sleep debt. Sleep deprivation is hard on your entire body, and your immune system is no exception.

3. Take A Vitamin D Supplement
Low vitamin D levels often correlate with greater risks of developing respiratory infections. Unfortunately, Americans as a whole suffer from a chronic vitamin D deficiency. As the days become shorter and the temperatures become colder, we'll get even less of this important vitamin. Offset this deficiency by taking a natural, high-quality supplement.

4. Drink Elderberry Juice
In the holistic health circles, elderberry juice is praised for its amazing immune-boosting qualities. A little bit goes a long way; it doesn't take much to see some fantastic benefits. Most people recommend taking 1-2 tablespoons per day.

5. Eat Raw Fruits And Vegetables
Nature's bounty offers a great resource for strengthening your immune system. Raw or home-cooked vegetables, fruits, grains, and nuts offer multiple health benefits. Since they each offer different benefits, it is important to consume a variety.

6. Take A Probiotic
Probiotics have been shown to be enormously beneficial for improving gastrointestinal and respiratory health. There are types of probiotic supplements, and some are more beneficial than others. Be sure you're getting one that will be the most helpful for your body.

7. Limit Alcohol Intake And Tobacco Use
Products like alcohol and tobacco are hard on the body. If your body's systems have to work harder to process the alcohol or tobacco it is exposed to, it will have fewer resources leftover to guard against germs, bacteria, and viruses. Cutting back on alcohol and tobacco use is always beneficial, but it is especially important during flu season.

8. Get Plenty Of Exercise
The "use it or lose it" maxim applies to exercise and the physical benefits it provides. Consistent exercise offers protection against a wide array of health challenges, including osteoporosis, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and more. By keeping your body in good condition, it will be better prepared to fight off the germs it will inevitably be exposed to this time of year.

Get Your Immune-Boosting Agents At The Lime!
In addition to compounded medication, our pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks offers a wide variety of over-the-counter immune-boosting agents. We sell high-quality probiotics, vitamin D supplements, elderberry juice, and multiple herbal supplements. Stop by and see us to pick up your immune-boosting agents!

7 Tricks To Keep Your Kids Healthy This Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner, and you know what that means... children will be coming into contact with more candy than they know what to do with. If left to their own devices, most kids would probably consume copious amounts of candy on Halloween night and over the next several days. However, most parents impose rules to limit the candy intake (and for good reason).

Can Your Child O.D. On Candy?

At best, eating too much candy will leave your children feeling sick to their stomachs. At worst, it could land them in the hospital.

Since candy is high in sugar and low in nutritional value, consuming large quantities of it isn't good for anyone. However, certain types of candy can be particularly problematic when consumed in vast quantities. As examples, eating an excess of black licorice (made from actual licorice root) can cause arrhythmia, and an excess of the artificial sweetener sorbitol (found in sugar-free candy) can cause diarrhea (source: popsci.com).

Sugar also has addictive qualities (just like nicotine and other drugs), and consuming lots of sugar can cause your children to crave it more. As with any addiction, feeding it is never a good solution.

Keeping Your Kids Healthy This Halloween

As the health-conscious parent you are, it's surely important to you to help your children stay healthy this Halloween, and our pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks is here to help. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Set limits on how much candy your kids can eat. Give your children a specific number of pieces of candy they can eat on Halloween night, and then how many pieces per day they can have after that.

2. Explain the reason for those limits. Children are smart, intellectual creatures. They are likely to be more cooperative if they know the reason behind your 10-piece rule.

3. Make homemade Halloween treats. By making yummy treats at home, you can control exactly how much sugar goes into each of them. You can also substitute certain ingredients for healthier alternatives.

4. Devise an exchange program. "The Switch Witch," for example, will leave new toys behind in exchange for pieces of candy the children set out on Halloween night.

5. Feed them before going trick-or-treating. If your kids have full bellies before beginning the night's adventures, they will be less likely to snack on candy along the way.

6. Buy extra candy from your children. This acknowledges that the candy belongs to the kids and offers them an incentive to give it up. Depending on how much candy your kids bring home, you could offer 5, 10, or 25 cents per piece.

7. Be a good role model. Actions speak louder than words. If you want your children to consume candy in moderation, it is important for you to do the same.

Help Other Kids Stay Healthy, Too!

The suggestions we just discussed are great ways to help your kids stay healthy on Halloween, but if you have trick-or-treaters coming to your door, you have a special opportunity to help other kids limit their candy intake, too. Instead of giving out candy, consider passing out these fun, non-sugary alternatives:

• Small boxes of cereal
• Trail mix
• Pretzels
• Sugar-free gum
• Popcorn
• Raisins

You can also give out non-food items, such as temporary tattoos, false teeth, vampire teeth, bubbles, pirate's treasure, miniature playing cards, stickers, etc. As you choose which items to give away, be sure to avoid particularly small items that may be a choking hazard to very young children.

Happy Halloween from The Lime!

By brainstorming strategies now, you'll have plenty of time to devise a master plan for keeping your children healthy this Halloween. If you have any other bright ideas for limiting kids' sugar intake this Halloween, we'd love to hear them! Please share your ideas in a comment below.

Happy Halloween from The Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy!

We have been in business for almost ten years, and in that time we have developed several unique skills, techniques, and services that set us apart from other pharmacies in the area.

We Fit Our Medications To Our Patients (Not The Other Way Around)

As the Lake's exclusive compounding-only pharmacy, each of our prescriptions are customized to each of our patients.

Your health is one of your top priorities - shouldn't it also be a top priority for the people making your medication? Our pharmacist and the rest of our staff makes a point to get to know our clients beyond their basic pharmaceutical needs. At The Lime, you're far more than just a prescription number; we are proud to treat our clients like the valued individuals that they are.

We Offer More Than Just Compounding

Compound medication is our primary service and it's what we are known for, but our services extend far beyond that. In addiction to prescription medication, we offer...

• A variety of herbal supplements and vitamins
• Massage therapy
• CranioSacral Therapy
• Rx Skin Therapy products
• Young Living essential oils
• And more!

Our Patients Feel At Home Here

Prescription drugstores and most retail pharmacies are rather uninviting; patients rush in, grab their prescriptions, and go. While we can certainly accommodate our patients' busy schedules, we want everyone to feel at home in our pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO. Everyone on our staff is warm and welcoming, and our decor matches our personality.

Come See For Yourself!

Essential oils can be used in a variety of different ways and for a variety of different reasons. Common uses include topical application, aromatic diffusion, and (in some cases) dietary consumption. When used correctly, essential oils offer many different advantages, including physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Thanks to their powerful intrinsic qualities, they can also be used as natural alternatives to the harsh chemicals found in many of today's cleaning and beauty products.

Compounding to Relieve Allergy Symptoms

Most Midwesterners welcome the cooler fall weather but some allergy sufferers are less enthusiastic. In Missouri, cool nights can mean ragweed pollen is in the air. Ragweed, the biggest fall allergy trigger, generally begins to release pollen in August and continues into September and October and it’s possible this is the cause of those dreaded allergy symptoms. The ragweed pollen season occurs at a time when children, and school employees and administrators are going back to school. This is a common time for upper respiratory infections (colds) to make their debut and it can be difficult to determine whether symptoms are indications of allergies or a cold. Typically, cold symptoms lessen after 7 to 10 days, so if your runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, headaches and fatigue continue, you may be suffering from fall allergies.

At Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy we know that allergy sufferers need individual treatment options. We prepare personalized medications based on your specific needs. We can assist your physician by mixing the recommended prescriptions together to create a specialized treatment. Here’s more about allergy symptoms and how your Lake of the Ozarks Compounding pharmacy can help alleviate those symptoms.

Allergy symptoms may include: runny nose, itchy nose, nosebleeds, itchy throat and ears, sneezing, nasal congestion, burning, tearing, itchy eyes, cough, headaches, sinus infections, ear infections or ear pressure, asthma, and fatigue, poor sleep or snoring. Not everyone has all symptoms, that’s why our individual treatment options will address and respond to the specific immune reactions your body is having to the allergy.

At Lime in The Coconut, we have the capability to compound custom medications to treat many of the conditions associated with allergies. Our team specializes in formulating topical creams and gels, eye drops, nasal and throat sprays and easy to swallow capsules. We carefully prepare sinus and allergy medications in the form of liquids, washes and nasal sprays and can compound one pill with several different active ingredients if your general practitioner requests such treatment. 

Also, consider CranioSacral therapy as a means to reduce sinus symptoms and headache associated with seasonal allergies. This massage therapy focuses on releasing tensions your body could be experiencing as a result of pollen in the air, and provides effective relief and reduction for some allergy symptoms.

Are you tired of sniffling, sneezing and blowing that nose of yours? We can compound custom sinus medications to treat your allergic reactions as needed. Not only can the benefits of compounding improve your allergy symptoms, but will also enhance your overall health.  Let Lime and the Coconut  Compounding Pharmacy help you find relief so you can stop carrying around that box of Kleenex and get back to feeling your very best. We want you out enjoying this beautiful fall weather as healthy as possible!
