Mushrooms also contain a number of B vitamins, thiamine, riboflavin, B-6, and B-12. B vitamins help the body get energy from food and form red blood cells. They are also important for a healthy nervous system and brain.
Mushrooms are also the only vegan, non fortified dietary source of vitamin D.

Lemon essential oil is one of the most versatile essential oil, which has its place in all the rooms. Its scent is revitalising and uplifting; it promotes energy, good mood and mental clarity. Great for removing household stains, help disinfecting countertops, and even refreshing your laundry.
It is perfect to protect your home from airborne bacteria, in your drinking water or raw chocolate treats for taste and to benefit of the power of Limonene.
*Quality is Essential! Take caution, not all essential oils are equals!
Make sure that the oils you use and wish to ingest are organic, therapeutic grade and listed as dietary supplements. I use and recommend Young Living essential oils (TGA approved). Be as creative as you want, don’t forget that a drop goes far. In a cup of tea or a glass of water dipping a toothpick in the essential oil bottle and swirling it in your water is often enough.
