If you have chickens or any other livestock, I bet you’re familiar with the idea that deworming is beneficial for them (after all they eat off of the ground and seem to love drinking the least fresh water they can find 🤪)
…but did you know you and your family can benefit as well?
If you’ve ever noticed moods, energy or sleep are thrown off around the full moon – it could be because that’s when parasites are most active. This makes it a great time to support your body in flushing them out!
You can start up to a week before and continue up to a week after the full moon, or you can do just a couple days on either side of the full moon. I’d start with less and increase if you don’t see results.
What do we use and why?
We use Oregano Vitality and Clove Vitality essential oils (plus a couple of bonus options I’ll share at the end).
Oregano Vitality will help to break down the biofilm parasites hide in and support the body’s ability to restore balance by eliminating an abundance of undesirable parasites. Clove Vitality will kill eggs so that new parasites don’t immediately take their place.
If you’re doing the full two weeks, skip clove on days 1 & 2.
Recipe
2 drops oregano
1 drop clove
For adults:
Add oils to a clear veggie capsule and top with carrier oil
For kids:
Rub oils on the bottom of their feet at bedtime. Make sure they don’t touch their feet (it can sting if they touch their eyes after).
For animals:
Add oils to feed or water.
If adding to feed we soak it in water, skimmed milk or whey.
If adding to water we also add 1 spray of Thieves cleaner to emulsify (otherwise the oils float on top of the water).
PS If you’re wanting to take it to the next level, ParaFree soft gels are formulated with an advanced blend of some of the strongest essential oils studied for their cleansing abilities! And ParaGize is blended specifically to support your animals’ natural cleansing system. See my Parasite Cleanse and ParaFree highlights for more info.
In a drastic reversal of its previous policy, the FDA now considers ALL homeopathic medicines to be “unapproved new drugs” subject to pharmaceutical-specific premarket approval requirements or removal from the market at any time without notice as “illegally” marketed products.
With the FDA making its proposed new guidance final this month, we now must face the prospect that at least some of our cherished medicines could be gone in the new year as the FDA decides to eliminate remedies that it considers “too risky” without having to provide any evidence of problems. This is something which is explicitly allowed by the guidance.
We must turn to Congress and ask them to step in with legislation that protects homeopathic medicines from the FDA’s vague and overly broad (mis)guidance that could lead to arbitrary and unfounded withdrawals of properly manufactured and labeled homeopathic medicines that threaten no one (and the FDA has even done so already when it was in draft form!).
Ask your legislators to join the growing bipartisan coalition of offices seeking to preserve the right to choose homeopathic medicines.
An adrenal cocktail is not an alcoholic drink, but a nourishing drink that can help stabilize your energy and support well being by providing the essential minerals that are missing from our modern diets. Getting all the minerals your body needs helps support your adrenal health and more.
What does adrenal health have to do with energy? Your adrenal glands are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol, which effect metabolism, glucose usage, blood pressure, immunity, and stress response regulation.
What symptoms indicate adrenals need support?
Hair loss
Slumps in the afternoon
Dry skin
Low libido
PMS
Irregular menses
Infertility
Feeling cold when others feel warm
Exhaustion even with enough of sleep
Brain fog, irritability and anxiousness
Burst of energy in the evening
Inconsistent sleep patterns
Craving salty or sweet foods
How to make an adrenal cocktail
To make an adrenal cocktail three crucial ingredients are needed to restore the balance of vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes your body needs to replenish cortisol, regulate blood sugar, and balance hormones to alleviate adrenal fatigue symptoms!
Whole food vitamin C
Potassium
Sodium
From there, you can add on additional options to increase energy and minerals, which are depleted in most of us. For example, maple syrup for glucose and additional minerals. Collagen for essential amino acids to sustain blood sugar regulation.
Adrenal Cocktail Recipe
Whole food C source: 4-6 ounces organic lemon or orange juice, freshly squeezed if possible
Potassium source: 1/4 cup organic coconut water or 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
Sodium source: pinch – 1/4 tsp Himalayan or Redmond salt
1 scoop Inner Beauty Collagen
1 tube NingXia Nitro
Splash raw heavy cream
1 Tbsp organic maple syrup
1/2-1 ounce magnesium bicarbonate
Sparkling or Soda Stream water to top off
Mix all ingredients in a 12 ounce cup/jar and top with sparkling water. Sip throughout the day or drink during the afternoon energy slump.
Orange Creamsicle Recipe with additional Mineral Rich + Inflammation Support Supplements
Mix all ingredients in a 12 ounce cup/jar and top with sparkling water. Sip throughout the day or drink during the afternoon energy slump.

Have you started spring cleaning yet? This spring, as you throw open the windows and inhale the sweet air, be sure the cleaning products and scents you’re using are straight from plants. So many of our homes end up filled with pollutants and harmful toxins, especially when the cleaning begins – but it doesn’t have to be that way!
Whether you’re looking out for the well-being of your little ones, your animals, yourself or all of the above, here’s how you can get that dreamy, spring clean scent without risking your health.
Download the spring cleaning checklist below and then order our plant-powered cleaning products, add on a gorgeous diffuser if you want to replace harmful candles and you can even a beloved cleansing supplement back in stock for the first time in years.
Most of these products are available for a limited time only, beginning on April 9th. I am going to be stocking up on Savvy Minerals at 40% off! Whaat?! I’ve never used any makeup that I like better both for the quality and the safety.
Let me know if I can help with anything and if you’re shopping for the first time, let me know before you order and I’ll send you a coupon for an additional 10% off the sale prices. My favorites are below, and you can visit Young Living to see all the sale items. If you order 100PV I have an extra gift for you too.
This ultra-concentrated and all-plant cleaner uses coconuts for the surfactant and is boosted with the powerful Thieves essential oil blend. It’s safe for you, your littles and your animals and literally replaces all the cleaners in your cabinet.
This bundle includes a pretty spring color themed spray bottle along with two spring themed reusable dish cloths too.
Add just one capful of cleaner to the spray bottle and then fill the spray bottle with water.
Eco Dish Collection
For many years I used a “free & clear” dish soap to avoid harmful chemicals, but then I realized the company had been bought out by a larger company and they started adding some synthetic ingredients that were questionable to be applying to my hands multiple times daily. Ugh!
I tried this dish soap and never went back! First of all it works without any synthetic ingredients, it smells so good and it is very thick.
You can dilute it to turn one bottle into 3 or 4 bottles or just use a tiny bit at a time.
Digest & Cleanse
Ready to shed the excess that has accumulated over the winter? This supplement, which has been out of stock for years will get everything running smoothly.
For the Love of Lemons
This photo doesn’t do the Macaroon diffuser justice! It’s a gorgeous ceramic and it has a lovely shape, much like a macaron cookie actually!
We use it in our mudroom because it looks so pretty on our wood shelving and it runs for up to 16 hours, keeping the smelliest room in our home pleasant all day.
If you haven’t smelled the Luschious Lemon blend, you’re in for a real treat.
Nepalese Wool Dryer Balls
If you’ve never used wool dyer balls, this is your sign to do it now! They replace chemical-laden dryer sheets and are reusable so you will never buy dryer sheets again.
Add your favorite oils for great smelling clothes – lavender and bergamot are perfect additions!

About Our Family
Hi, we are Sarah & Peter Milcetic of Better with Thyme Farm! On our farm we focus on working with Creation and the wisdom of God’s design. Stewarding our land and animals for God's glory gives us hope and freedom for the present and eternity.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. -John 15:4
The Hub
Introducing the Holistic Homesteaders Hub! Our mission is to create a network of breeders, buyers and service providers dedicated to stewarding our animals for their optimal wellbeing, rearing our animals as close to nature as possible and incorporating natural remedies only as needed.
We love thyme. With seemingly endless varieties of this aromatic, delicious, medicinal, flowering evergreen ground cover we thought it was a perfect namesake for our farm. We especially loved creating a play on words that reflects hope, regeneration and abundance.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. -Romans 15:13
