Barometric pressure changes can affect your sinuses because the air pressure around you influences the air pressure within your sinuses. When the external air pressure drops it can cause the air trapped in your sinuses to expand, potentially leading to increased pressure and discomfort. This might trigger headaches, sinus pain, and congestion for those who are sensitive to these changes. This also plays a huge part in people getting sick around this time of the year so please don't leave your sinuses struggling. Your body needs to have oxygen in order to function well.
On top of our sinuses being impacted our bodies often feel it for days before the storms arrive. Rapid changes in barometric pressure, humidity, and temperature that often accompany storms can lead to shifts in your body's internal pressure and fluid balance. This can affect sensitive areas like joints, muscles, and even your blood vessels. Just like your sinuses these factors can contribute to headaches, joint pain, and even changes in mood for some individuals who are more sensitive to these changes. It's important to note that not everyone is affected in the same way so please don't give up on yourself and just accept that you have to hurt for the entire storm season.

I do not believe that God gave Young Living the idea of this blend, which began as a foaming hand soap in April 2020, the year that everyone "started" washing their hands, on accident. Let me explain the science behind why. You can earn this for free this month.
All things in nature are meant for temporary exposure and temporary results as a response to a single experience. PTSD causes us to be exposed to those same experiences over and over again as if they are happening in the present. Those responses can be evident to people around us or they can be unfounded according to what external forces are present. Keep in mind that no one chooses to suffer from PTSD even if they chose to be a part of what caused it. Be patient, keep yourself safe, do research for better understanding, pray, and love them where they are at while supporting them to get to where they want to be.
