Tasty Water while Fighting Cancer

You know it is important to stay hydrated by drinking water, but many people don't get too excited about drinking 8 glasses of boring, plain water a day.

Instead of drinking sugary drinks or flavored water with man-made chemicals, give your essential oils a try.  You'll be surprised how yummy they can make that boring old water and the citrus oils have naturally occuring molecules that have been shown to stop cancer growth!  Yup, I'm serious!

Citrus oils contain a molecule called d-Limonene, which has been proven in many studies to stop the growth of new cancer cells.  Simply by adding a few drops of citrus essential oils to your water, you are ingesting this healthy molecule and supporting your health - and they taste so good too!


  • Grapefruit Essential Oil contains 68-92% d-Limonene

  • Orange Essential Oil contains 85-90% d-Limonene

  • Lemon Essential Oil contains 55-75% d-Limonene

  • Tangerine Essential Oil Contains 65-80% d-Limonene

 
When you are adding oils to your water make sure you are using either a glass, ceramic or stainless steal container.  Don't use plastic because the oils can break down the plastic, which you will then be drinking - yuck!

Add a drop or two of the oil first, then add your water.  It helps to mix up the oil in the water that way.  Enjoy!
