Well, you can: in just one ounce of NingXia Red antioxidant wolfberry infusion!!

Here are 2 personal stories about how this yummy drink has helped people I know:

1. From my good friend Linda:
I forgot to follow up with you on my hubby’s gout. He used the oils in December (very busy & stressful month as you can understand.) The gout came and went and when I e-mailed you in Jan he’d had another full blown, worse than ever attack. He’d been eating brown rice and veggies for weeks trying to bring it back under control. After we read the testimonial about the Ningxia juice he gave that a try – the first day he had about a cup of the stuff (divided morning and night) and in the morning it was much better. A second day of Ningxia in the same doses and it was gone. He’s backed way off to the regular dose and keep your fingers crossed it’s been gone since then. He’s eating healthfully but not the majorly restricted gout diet. I think we should have used the oils in higher doses but are thrilled that the Ningxia gave him the relief he really needed.

2. A message from my friend Darby about her son:
My son (now 31) broke his wrist at age 9. It was apparently not set correctly at the time because he has had intermittent pain ever since. He’s now the chef of his own restaurant (www.padthaiphilly.co and spends many hours chopping, dicing, slicing and otherwise making motions that involve wrist action. He had gotten to the point of being in bad pain most of the time. He used several anti-inflammatory and analgesic essential oils such as wintergreen, peppermint, and PanAway blend…all helped to varying degrees but the pain always came back.

About a month ago I asked him how his wrist was doing, and he told me it never hurts any more. What did you do? I asked him. “I drank a whole bottle of NingXia Red over 2 days’ time, and the pain went away and never came back.” WOW.
I would not suggest this kind of mega-dose but it certainly seems to have made a profound difference on my son!

Shopping for the holidays can be quite stressful especially with this economy. The flip side of this is that retailers all over the country are competing with each other to offer you the best deals.
One way to save time and money is by shopping on-line this holiday season. Merchants are often offering great on-line deals and shipping will cost you less than gas and the time you need to spend at the store.
But on-line deals aren’t the only way you can save money, I have a little secret that will help you save and in most cases even get cash back!

Everything detailed in this article is FREE and WILL help you save money on all your on-line shopping.

Before I explain how this works you will require two things, one paypal account (free) and one Ebates account (Free, they pay you $5). These are the two essentials to make this work.

Paypal is a great safe and secure way of paying on-line without divulging your payment information, it is also a very easy way to receive payments which is the main reason I am having you sign up today.

Once your paypal account is open you need to sign up with Ebates. This great free website acts as an intermediary between you and your favorite on-line stores. Ebates offers cash back and coupons to almost all your favorite online stores. Ebates will give you $5 just for signing up.

Now when you want to shop online make sure you go through the Ebates website first and choose one of the online stores from their catalog. For example you can type Target in the search and you will see you will get 3% cash back on all your purchases + they have exclusive online coupons.
Did you find something you like on Ebay? Why not get 2% cash back with your purchase? Simply open Ebates, type Ebay and click on their link to go to the site and the cash back is yours. Ebates will send you payment through paypal on a regular basis.

One way of making sure you use Ebates first is by bookmarking it and saving it under the name ’shopping’ in your browser.
This holiday season make sure you use Ebates before you buy anything to get some extra cash and save some extra green!

Tinea pedis or athletes foot is a fungal infection of the skin that infects the feet. This fungus loves warm moist environment to which many feet are subject. A good way to start with the healing process is to keep the feet dry and stay out of tight shoes.

Essential oils are a great way to help you get rid of the infection and here is how:

The single oils used for this treatment are tea tree & lavender or tea tree, peppermint & mountain savory. Existing Young Living Blends : Melrose, Thieves, Purification, ClaraDerm

First Athletes foot blend : 8 drops of teat tree 2 drops of lavender

Second Athletes foot blend : 8 drops of tea tree 4 drops of peppermint 2 drops of mountain savory

You can either dilute the blends with some vegetable oil (50/50) or use them directly onto the feet.
Apply 5 to 7 drops of your blend onto your toes and around your toe nails making sure you cover all areas. Repeat this daily until the the infection has completely cleared.

This is a very efficient way of getting rid of Athletes Foot without having to use heavy chemical products.

Please make sure you use only Therapeutic grade essential oils. I recommend using only Young Living essential oils and blends. Click here to find out how to get your own oils

Every time I look at a magazine or turn on the television I am overwhelmed by the amount of ads for flu shots. I am not a doctor and do not intend to give any type of medical advice in the following post. If you are interested in learning about a natural way to fight bacteria, fungi and much more I invite you to read on.

I was recently very pleased when I read an article in the NY Times regarding the power of cinnamon essential oil compared to chemical based anti-bacterial hand sanitizers and soaps and the very negative effect these last types of products have on our health and environment.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/08/health/08real.html?_r=1

The Oil mentionned in that NY Times article is Thieves Essential Oil blend. It is a blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary. This blend not only contains cinnamon but also some of the strongest and most effective anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal oils.

Thieves Essential oil blend is conveniently available in various forms ranging from hand sanitizer to supplements giving you a powerful and natural tool to fight off bacteria and viruses.

Thieves products are the ideal way for you to protect your family and keep your home virus free!

If I had to choose just two Essential Oils to carry with me at all times I would without a doubt pick Lavender and Peppermint.

Peppermint is your best friend when it comes to helping you cope with indigestion, stomach ache, nausea, headache,mosquitoes and much much more!

If ever you are suffering from any digestion related pains or discomfort applying one or two drops into your palm and massaging your stomach will bring relief within minutes. If you need a little extra help especially for nausea put one drop into a small glass of water and drink it, this will produce a great cooling effect in your stomach and you will feel much lighter.

To counter a sudden headache I suggest drinking a large glass of pure water then putting one drop of Peppermint Essential Oil in your palms, rubbing them together then cupping your mouth and nose and inhaling deeply through your nose, exhaling through your mouth. This is a strong oil and the fumes might burn your eyes a little, just make sure to not rub your eyes with your oily fingers!

On a hot summer day you can easily cool off or stay cool by applying a drop or less of peppermint essential oil behind your ears, on your chest and the back of your neck, the cooling effect will be immediate.

Adding  a drop of Peppermint Essential Oil to your favourite Natural Lemonade is also a great way to feel refreshed and invigorated on a warm day.

For more great ideas I suggest typing ‘Peppermint’ on our testimonials page, try it by clicking here

A word to the wise : Peppermint is very very strong, this is an oil where the rule ‘Less is More’ really applies! When using peppermint oil make sure you never use more than 2 drops. If ever the cooling effect is too strong for you dilute the essential oil with vegetable oil, NEVER USE WATER as this will only spread the oil and not dilute it.

Always use Therapeutic grade Essential Oils – Buy Young Living Essential Oils

Aroma Globe Nebulizing Diffuser

There are a ton of different types of diffusers available on the market today.  Some diffusers are electric, others involve candles, others nebulizing technology… It can get a little confusing and overwhelming.

Luckily I have gone through the lengthy and expensive process of trying most diffusers out there. First off I would like to discourage you from using any type of diffuser that involves heat whether this be by candle or steam.  Heat can modify the property of the oils and thus reduce it’s therapeutic effects.  And since you are using therapeutic grade oils might as well use a diffuser that actually doesn’t denature them right?

Nebulizing diffusers are definitely the way to go.  They  don’t use heat and if they are set up correctly will actually allow you to get the most efficient use out of your oils.  I would suggest getting the Aroma Globe diffuser.  This diffuser is to my knowledge, the most technologically advanced nebulizing system on the market today.

It is quiet and very simple to use, it is designed to maximize the biological effect while minimizing the consumption of essential oils. A built in timer turns it ON for 5 minutes and OFF for 25 minutes. It turns on 6 times in 3 hours, then shuts off automatically. Air flow adjustment knob lets you set the output you want.
It’s amazing that everything fits into such a small space just 4 Inches round by 5 1/2 inches tall.

It’s hard to see in the photo, but it also has merging RED, BLUE, GREEN and YELLOW lights that shine into the liquid. In the dark it looks AWESOME!  The large capacity globe will hold 15 milliliters of oil.

Coverage = 0 to 1200 square feet. Depending on the amount of air saturation you desire. You wont find a better integrated nebulizer than Aroma-Globe.  I know this sounds like a big sales pitch but believe me you won’t regret it, this is by far the best diffuser available.

Young Living Essential Oils was mentioned in the December/January 2008 issue of Domino magazine, a style magazine centered on the home. In this current issue, Joshua Onysko, founder and alchemist of Pangea Organics body-care, mentions Young Living’s geranium essential oil as “one of the top eco-centric ways to look and feel fabulous in 2008.”

When used as a calming scrub, Onysko says, “The best essential oil by far is geranium. The scent, sweet and pungent, goes right to the frontal lobe, relieving tension and anxiety. The oil also helps speed up the reproduction of skin cells—a few drops mixed into a cup of sea salt and jojoba oil is a rejuvenating body polish.”

More about geranium:
Geranium has a penetrating sweet floral scent. It is restorative and relaxing with a strong strengthening effect while soothing to the mind and body. It has antiseptic properties and is widely used in skin care because of its ability to restore balance to oily or dry hair and skin. It is helpful for skin conditions and is gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Geranium can be used for inflammation with its mild, soothing effect. The action on the nervous system is pronounced, being a sedative with uplifting characteristics.

Nerve pain study
In a study published in The American Journal of Medicine, researchers divided 30 adults suffering Post Herpetic Neuralgia (the pain that lingers after a case of shingles) into four groups. One group received topical treatments of geranium oil, while two groups received a mix of geranium oil and mineral oil (at ratios of 1 to 1 and 1 to 10), and a fourth group received only mineral oil.

All of the subjects who received any amount of geranium oil reported pain reduction, and those who received treatments containing 100 percent geranium oil experienced the greatest pain relief. The placebo group reported little or no relief. Some subjects experienced a slight irritation from the geranium oil, but these irritations subsided within an hour or so.

Help for pets:
Effective as an insecticide due to its terpene content, Geranium is also used to repel ticks, fleas and mosquitoes from humans and animals alike. Many old herbalist books mention Geranium as being an excellent tick repellent. It can be used by putting the oil on the dog’s collar every week or added to the rinse when bathing. The most effective way to use it is in a spritzer bottle that you can spray on and rub in several times a week. Check with your vet before using essential oils on cats.

Essential Oils and Aromatherapy for Alzheimer’s Patients

Flanagan, Nina. The Clinical Use of Aromatherapy in Alzheimer’s Patients. Alternative & Complementary Therapies. November/December 1995:377-380.
Megan Carnarius, R.N., is pioneering the use of aromatherapy, the therapeutic use of plant-derived essential oils, with Alzheimer’s patients. Known in Europe to be an effective mood enhancer and stress-relieving therapy, aromatherapy is becoming more well-known here in the United States, although its clinical use is limited. In Alzheimer’s patients, it can increase quality of life by reducing the anxiety that often accompanies the disease; its therapeutic use, however, is of special interest because of the connection between the evocative sense of smell and memory.

The aromatherapy program that Carnarius has developed for her patients in the Alzheimer’s unit at Manor Care in Boulder, CO, involves the use of diffusers, spritzers, facials, and massage with essential oils. Lemon oil, which helps patients wake up and focus their energies, is used in the morning in the diffusers and put on washcloths for facials; chamomile used to calm patients down in the afternoon or when they become agitated. The scents also work partly because they change the environment of the nursing home, breaking the stagnation and stimulating the patients to feel and remember.

Carnarius has developed an aromatherapy kit for use with Alzheimer’s patients which consists of five essential oils: geranium, lavender, marjoram, rosemary, and ylang ylang. She has trained Alzheimer’s unit staff at 13 centers, and there are over 450 patients using aromatherapy. Measuring results is difficult, but Carnarius says, “Since our programming is very structured, I know that with the oils, people stay in activities longer-they are stimulated more in general.”
