Chemical Free Air Fresheners

March 7, 2010 in Air Freshener, Allergies, Aromatherapy, Blends, Chemicals / Toxic, Diffusing, Green, Hormones, Lemon, Natural, Peace and Calming, Pregnancy, Safe Use, Thieves by Jonell Elder | No comments

Many air fresheners that are purchased in stores are most likely loaded with chemicals and toxins.  Air fresheners that are purchase from stores are used in homes and offices, and what people are being led to believe is that they create a clean, healthy, and pleasant smelling environment.  This is NOT the case.

One chemical in particular that is in most air fresheners is phthalates.  What people need to realize is that when the phthalates are released into the air and inhaled, or land on the skin and absorbed, the chemicals enter the bloodstream, they can alter hormone levels and cause other health problems.  This is especially a concern for children and women who are pregnant.

Phthalates are used in many common consumer products—to soften plastics in children’s toys, as sealants and adhesives in nail polish, in perfumes, and of course in air fresheners.

“Phthalates are known to interfere with production of the male hormone, testosterone, and have been associated with reproductive abnormalities. Numerous animal studies have linked prenatal exposure to certain phthalates with decreases in testosterone, malformations of the genitalia, and reduced sperm production. The State of California notes that five types of phthalates—including one that we found in air freshener products—are “known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm.” Phthalate exposure in indoor environments has also been associated with allergic symptoms and asthma.” Natural Resources Defense Council

What options do we have to achieve a safer, healthier environment, and to have fresher, cleaner air in our homes and offices and to feel assured of being free of harmful and hazardous chemicals?

One sure way to have a fresher environment is to be able to open windows and have a fan going to circulate the air.  However certain times of the year it is not feasible to open windows and if you are the city, the air isn’t the greatest, or if you are in an office, you may not have the luxury of being able to open a window.

If you are unable to open your windows, the next best thing is to diffuse Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils.  Not only do you get a natural safe, fresh scent, but you get the added benefit of the therapeutic value from the essential oil, and a “green” product.

In regard to what essential oil to use, there are many choices.  Young Living has over 150 different single and blend essential oils. It all depends on what you are desiring for the scent, the ambiance, a clean fresh scent, or even protection from germs.

Diffused therapeutic-grade essential oils alter the structure of molecules that create odors, rather than simply masking them. They also increase oxygen availability and produce negative ions.

A few oils that are nice for any of these choices would be:

  1. Peace and Calming is a gentle, fragrant blend. When diffused, it helps calm tensions and uplift the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace. When massaged on the bottoms of the feet, it can be a wonderful prelude to a peaceful night’s rest. Peace & Calming may be especially calming and comforting to young children after an overactive and stressful day.*
  2. Lemon has a strong, purifying, citrus scent that is revitalizing and uplifting. Lemon consists of 68 percent dlimonene, a powerful antioxidant.*
  3. Thieves was created based on research about four thieves in France who covered themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.*

If you are looking for a natural safe alternative to freshen the air in your home, office, or even in your car, and to aide in a healthier environment for your family, friends, co-workers and even your pets, Young Living essential oils are the best way to go.

Young Living essential oils are top quality. (Read more on quality). You also get the added benefit of having your products delivered right to your door.

Are you ready to throw away all those nasty air fresheners that are harmful?  Please  contact me with questions you may have.  I would be happy to help you in choosing the essential oils to get you started and I look forward to hearing from you.

5 Tips To Get Motivated

February 15, 2010 in Application, Aromatherapy, Blends, Foot, Lemon, Orange Oil, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Motivation does not always come easily and there are some days when it’s hard to stay on track or even get started.  Even when we are feeling motivated there are obstacles that we will likely encounter along the way.  Something comes up in the day and the distractions may pull us away from what we want and need to get motivated about.

Sometimes thoughts of how to get motivated come while we are falling asleep.  When we wake up, having the gumption to carry through with those night time thoughts may not be so easy. Staying motivated is not easy. If it were, everybody would do it. But, it can be done.

5 Tips to Get Motivated:

1.  Start your day in a good mood

  • In a seated position, with feet flat on the floor, take a few deep breaths. Deep breathing is such a powerful technique for centering and focusing energy. Inhale through the nose, hold for 2 or 3 seconds, exhale slowly through the mouth. Repeat several times.
  • Another variation is to take a whiff of a refreshing, uplifting essential oil, such as Young Living essential oils of Lemon, Orange or Joy oil blend.
  • Follow up with applying Motivation oil blend to the bottoms of your feet.

2.  What is it you want to get motivated about? What is your goal? Be specific and be positive and right it down.

  • Apply Envision oil blend to the bottoms of your feet and breath in the left over scent from your hands.

3.  Plan for success.  The plan should include all the things that you will do to achieve your goal. It should also indicate the deadline for each task.

  • Write on your calender the day that you are setting your goal for.  This is a “follow up” to yourself to see the progress you are making.

4.  Mark your calender daily when you have achieved something towards your goal.

  • Put a happy face or a gold star.  Something that stands out and reminds you of your accomplishment.

5.  Each day start with step number one.  Once you become more familiar with essential oils you can choose different oils to start your day.

  • Young Living has over 150 different essential oils.  I can help you to choose what essential oil may fit what you are looking to help, be it physical or mental.

These are some easy steps to follow. They do not take a lot of your time, but they could very well be what will help you to get motivated for what ever it is you need motivation for.  Some days are easier then others, but just work on today.  And while you’re at it, remember to count your blessings and I’m sure that some of those blessings are instances that took motivation to make happen.

Emotional “Home” Improvement

February 7, 2010 in Air Freshener, Alternative Therapies, Aromatherapy, Blends, Depression, Diffusing, Emotional Release, Foot, Lemon, Smell / Olfactory, Young Living Essential Oils by Jonell Elder | No comments

Our emotions need improvements, and often times it may be difficult understanding how  to go about changing how negative emotions are effecting our overall mood. We are all familiar with making home improvements when they are needed.  What about emotional improvements? Emotional home improvement, this is another way of looking at, and understanding our emotions.

Emotions are triggered by many situations, from someones actions towards us, the media, loss, stress, the weather, disappointment, trauma and the list goes on. We can feel hurt, sad, angry, lonely, fearful, ungrateful, worried, confused, or unloved. So what are some easy ways to turn our emotions around?

Here are a few steps that may help in getting started recognizing a negative, unhealthy emotion. Once we begin to recognize them, the next step is understanding the type of emotion, so that we can determine how to help begin to feel better and more positive.

  1. Recognizing a negative emotion.
  2. Realizing our emotions are indeed in need of improvement.
  3. Taking time to turn negative emotions into positive emotions.
  4. Understanding that each emotion may need a different approach in correcting it.

The next step towards this new positive change, is with Young Living therapeutic grade essential oils. Young Living essential oils give you the results and true therapy your body needs. Essential oils are the only substance on earth to support the entire body, and once a therapeutic-grade essential oil is applied to the body, whether by inhalation, ingestion, or topical application to the skin, the essential oil enters the bloodstream. The essential oil is then metabolized and chemically changed quite rapidly, but during this period a multitude of therapeutic effects are possible. The effect we are looking for here is to correct our emotions.

There are many emotions to deal with, but I am going to write about what to do for sadness.  Young Living has several different essential oils that may help to alleviate the feeling of sadness and the one that I most often use and find lifts my spirits is Joy.

This is what I do with Joy:

  • Apply 2-3 drops to the bottoms of each of my feet.
  • Inhale the scent from my hands, by cupping my hands over my nose. Taking several long inhalations.
  • Diffuse Joy essential oil blend in my diffuser throughout the day for 15 minuets at a time. Not only are my spirits lifted, but the aroma in the room is a beautiful floral scent.

I find that the effects of Joy oil lifting my spirits is within seconds and I am always thankful that I am feeling better and thrilled with the amazing quickness that essential oils help.

Diffusing or directly inhaling essential oils can have an immediate positive impact on mood.  Olfaction is the only sense that can have direct effects on the limbic region of the brain.

Essential oils operate by interacting with the cells of the ‘olfactory‘ system, where upon reaching a membrane inside and at the very top of the nose after inhalation. The interaction of natural fragrant molecules on the olfactory membrane initiates a nerve signal that can quickly trigger various parts of the brain to respond – invoking a memory, a feeling, calming, alertness, reduced anxiety, or simply the perception of a scent.

Here are other essential oils which may be beneficial in help alleviating sadness:

  1. Cedarwood
  2. Lemon
  3. Jasmine
  4. Frankincense
  5. Peppermint
  6. Valor blend
  7. Hope blend

Clinical studies at the Department of Psychiatry at the Mie University of Medicine showed that lemon not only reduced depression but reduced stress when inhales.(1)

Young Living essential oils are a much better alternative therapy for many situations. Isn’t it better knowing that you are being helped with a natural substance, a quality essential oil from Young Living, rather then taking medications that can also cause adverse effects and more problems.

Are you ready to now make your emotional “home” improvements? This is the right place for you to accomplish a healthier, happier feeling from the inside out.  I look forward to hearing from you, please do not hesitate to contact me, so that I can help you to choose the essential oil that may help you to feel better emotionally.

12 Quick Tips for Using Lemon Essential Oil Daily

February 6, 2010 in Application, Aromatherapy, Best Essential Oils, Cooking with Essential Oils, Disinfectant, Eco-Friendly, How do I use, Lemon, Natural Household / Cleaning, Therapeutic-grade Essential Oil, Using Essential Oils, Young Living Distributor by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Young Living lemon essential oil has a pure, clean, fresh, lively scent we associate with peeling a lemon; the essential oil is in the peel/rind (lemon fact sheet). Young Living’s organic essential oils have many uses for those seeking natural solutions to daily life. Due to the purity of Young Living’s oils we have the luxury of using them in ways that other aromatherapy oils cannot and should not be used (quality). These twelve tips will start to give you an idea of lemon oil’s versatility and benefits.

  1. Use 1–2 drops of lemon essential oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots, glue or adhesive, and crayon from most surfaces.
  2. Combine 2–3 drops of lemon essential oil with water in a 4 oz. spray bottle filled with water to help cleanse and sanitize surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom.
  3. Place a drop of lemon essential oil on oily skin or blemishes to help balance oil glands and minimize oil production.*
  4. Soothe corns, calluses, or bunions by rubbing 1-2 drops lemon essential oil on the affected area morning and evening.*
  5. Massage lemon essential oil into cellulite to help improve circulation and eliminate waste from cells.*
  6. Add 1-3 drops lemon essential oil to your morning tea or breakfast shake for a refreshing pick-me-up.
  7. Inhale lemon essential oil directly from the bottle, or place a few drops on a cotton ball in a baggie to replenish your mind, body, and spirit while out running errands or at work.
  8. Add 10–15 drops of lemon essential oil to a gallon of carpet cleaning solution to help pull out stains, brighten carpet and rugs, and leave a fresh smell in the room.
  9. Add 5-6-8 drops of lemon essential oil to a chicken marinade for a delicious dinner.
  10. Place 3-6 drops lemon essential oil on a cotton ball and put in the refrigerator to help eliminate odors.
  11. Use 2-3 drops lemon essential oil to make a vinaigrette salad dressing.
  12. Put 2-4 drops lemon essential oil in an 8 oz. glass of water for a great taste and perfect for those watching their calories!

Lemon (Citrus limon) has a strong, purifying, citrus scent that is revitalizing and uplifting. Lemon consists of 68 percent dlimonene, a powerful antioxidant. It is delightfully refreshing in water and may be beneficial for the skin. Lemon may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rinds of lemons. Jean Valnet MD estimated that it takes 3,000 lemons to produce one kilo of oil. In his book, The Practice of Aromatherapy, Valnet wrote that lemon is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system.**

The A to Z of Essential Oils for Emotional Response

January 17, 2010 in Alternative Therapies, Aromatherapy, Best Essential Oils, Depression, Emotional Release, Frankincense, Health, Lavender, Lemon, Men's Health, Mind / Body / Soul, Peppermint, Rosemary, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Thyme, Using Essential Oils, Young Living Essential Oils by Evelyn Vincent | No comments

Excerpted from one of our most valuable resouces for using Young Living Essential Oils, the Essential Oils Desk Reference

Today, we live in a society of emotional turmoil.  There is more focus on emotional behavior and psychological conditions of the body now than at any time in our history. Many doctors are recognizing the possibility that a number of diseases are caused by emotional problems that link back to infancy or even to problems that occurred during conception or while in the womb. These emotional problems may have compromised the immune system or genetic structuring, causing children to become allergic to something that the mother ingested while pregnant.

Essential oils play an important role in assisting people in getting beyond these emotional barriers.  The aldehydes and esters of certain essential oils are very calming and sedating to the central nervous system (which consists of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems). These substances allow us to relax instead of letting anxiety build up in our body. Anxiety creates an acidic condition that activates the transcript enzyme that transcribes that emotion on the RNA template (RNA is the sister molecule of DNA) and stores it in the DNA. That emotion then becomes a predominant factor in our lives from that moment on.

When we have an emotional situation come up, instead of being overwhelmed by it, we can diffuse the oils, put them in our bath, or wear them as cologne. The oil molecules will absorb into the bloodstream from the nasal and buccal cavity to the limbic system [more on olfactory]. They will activate the amygdala (the memory center for fear and trauma) and sedate and relax the sympathetic/parasympathetic system. The oils help support the body in minimizing the acid that is created so that it does not create a reaction with the transcript enzyme.

Because essential oils affect the amygdala and pineal gland in the brain, they can help the mind and body by releasing emotional traumas and sharpening focus.

Essential oils provide assistance with staying centered in our goals. People have many distractions in today’s fast-paced world. For example, if you are struggling to retain or remember information, breathing the essential oils of peppermint, or rosemary stimulate the brain and memory functions for better focus and concentration.  Someone who is focusing on creating a business but finds other problems that interfere with that focus, could breathe the essential oils of galbanum, frankincense, sandalwood and/or melissa. These oils are extremely beneficial in enabling a person to bring his or her mind into a center of focus. The blend Gathering will also bring focus to people’s minds. For emotional clearing and release, the essential oil blend Trauma Life is especially helpful.

2010 Beginning With 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse

January 4, 2010 in Antioxidant, Cleansing, Digestion, Energy Drink, Lemon, NingXia Red Juice, Nutrition / Diet, Peppermint, Weight Loss, Young Living Distributor by Jonell Elder | No comments

5-day-cleanse-supplement2010 Beginning With 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse. This is how I am starting  2010 to get back on track for a healthier new year.

The 5-Day Nutritive CleanseTM facilitates gentle and effective cleansing to improve overall health and well-being.* A minimum of four, easy cleanses a year with our 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse and continued nutritional maintenance will help balance the extremes of the modern diet.

This nutritive cleanse includes the following: Ningxia Red, an energizing, replenishing, whole wolfberry nutrient infusion (1 liter ); Balance Complete, a super-food-based, daily, superfood energizer and nutritive cleanse (26.4 oz.); Digest + cleanse, which soothes gastrointestinal discomfort and supports healthy digestion* ( 30 softgels ).A gentle, effective approach to cleansing

Many health experts recommend cleansing as a normal, preventive practice, yet a majority of people only cleanse after they are sick or diseased. Young Living’s 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse eases the process with a simple, energizing program that helps you say goodbye to the obstacles and excuses that prevent you from cleansing. A minimum of four, short, easy cleanses a year with Young Living’s 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse and continued nutritional maintenance will help balance the extremes of the modern diet.

The dangers of the modern diet

Modern diets have degenerated into high calories, low-to-no nutrients, very little fiber, and dangerously high levels of sweeteners. These quickly digested “foods” flood the bloodstream, causing insulin levels to soar.

High levels of insulin are associated with increased inflammation. Recent research indicates that inflammation is at the root of all chronic diseases.

Excess blood sugar and insulin surges eventually lead to chronic problems like diabetes and cardiovascular damage. In addition, high blood sugar and insulin often play a pivotal role in the following problems: hypertension and kidney damage, weak and brittle vessels and veins, and a number of serious chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.

One noticeable symptom of excessive insulin and high blood sugar is abdominal obesity.

About two-thirds of American adults are overweight. One third are clinically obese.
This condition also increases your risk for heart disease, cholesterol imbalance, cancer, female infertility, and gallstones.

Excess insulin and high blood sugar create a vicious cycle. You crave simple carbohydrates because they enter the blood quickly. Then, a surplus of insulin is produced which causes more hunger. In response to hunger, you eat more. Overeating causes more body fat to accumulate and it activates more insulin. This merry-go-round of insulin spikes leaves you tired, hungry, and unfocused.

Restore balance with Balance Complete

Young Livings Balance Complete is an energizing, super food shake high in a Young Living proprietary fiber blend called V-Fiber. Research from the Life Ex- tension Foundation shows that fiber blends produce more viscosity (thickness and absorption) and are more effective than one type of fiber alone. Young Livings cutting-edge blend of soluble and insoluble fiber ( 11 grams per serving ) is ideal for cleansing, weight-loss, and everyday health maintenance.*

Ingredients found in this effective fiber blend have been shown to help maintain normal blood sugar levels.* As the fiber mixes with water, it swells in the intestines, providing bulk that absorbs and removes toxins and excess fat from the digestive tract.* While some cleanses negatively affect intestinal flora, the V-Fiber mix contains a prebiotic fiber that nurtures beneficial micro flora like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria while decreasing pathogenic bacteria.*

It should be noted that a sudden increase in fiber may initially cause a minor amount of gas and bloating for some people. This is partially due to the fact that the average American diet lacks fiber. The American Food Nutrition board recommends a minimum of 38 grams of fiber for men and 25 grams for women.

Typical Americans eat only half that amount. If you experience gas or bloating, reduce the amount of Balance Complete and increase the dosage of Young Livings progressive essential oil blend Digest + Cleanse.

Digest + Cleanse

Digest + Cleanse is a totally unique Purely Oils product. It supplies therapeutic-grade peppermint, caraway, lemon, and other essential oils directly to the intestine with Precision Delivery soft gel capsules.

Research shows that enteric-coated peppermint is effective for gastrointestinal upset. A blend of peppermint and caraway oil, taken three times daily, is shown to reduce gas and soothe the intestinal tract.

Lemon oil, another key ingredient in Digest + Cleanse, has an equally long history. Jean Valnet, famous medical doctor and practitioner of aromatherapy, says lemon oil stimulates gastro hepatic and pancreatic secretions.

Other supportive oils in Digest + Cleanse-ginger, fennel, and anise-have a long tradition of cleansing and improving digestive function. They are reported to soothe the bowel, improve elimination, and activate various digestive organs.*

Take one capsule 30-60 minutes before each Balance Complete shake to greatly increase the effectiveness and comfort of the 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse.

Ningxia Red®

NingXia Red’s reputation as a powerful, natural antioxidant and nutrient- dense infusion is unmatched. NingXia Red provides dynamic and sustainable energy, making it ideal for maintaining energy while cleansing.

There are two distinct phases in the cleansing process. In phase one, toxins are broken down and made water soluble. Phase two removes these toxins from the body. NingXia Red provides essential nutrients that enhance both phases of detoxification.*
NingXia Red is loaded with nutrients that nourish and support pancreatic and liver function.*

Order 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse Here

Like Balance Complete, NingXia Red contains constituents that may help maintain normal blood sugar levels.* It is high in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, flavonoids, carotenoids, cerebrosides, pyrolles, and zeaxanthin. Easy to digest, delicious to the taste, and with a glycemic index of only eleven, NingXia Red is an ideal part of any cleansing program.

I have incorporated the 5-day Nutritive Cleanse into my life and do the cleanse 4 times a year.  Each time I do the cleanse I feel great and I am amazed at how satisfied I feel.  I do not crave any other foods and I have not needed to include any snacks during the 5 days.

I blend my Balance Complete with ice and this gives it a nice milk shake type consistency. I sip it throughout the day, rather then drinking it down quickly. I believe this helps me in keeping the “full” feeling. But whatever it is, I do feel so much better during and after the cleanse.

It is great being a Young Living Distributor to be able to take advantage of the 24% savings when ordering products.  Read here for more information on how to save money and get started right away on starting 2010 with a 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse.

Sugar Hangover-Sugar Blues

December 27, 2009 in Antioxidant, Aromatherapy Perfume, Depression, Enzymes, Essential Oils, Fitness, Health, Lemon, Lifestyle, Minerals, Orange Oil, Weight Loss by Jonell Elder | No comments

headache-people-painHave you ever woken up with a sugar hangover?  Do you  sometimes feel cranky, sad, depressed and just would like to be left alone, and you wondered why you are feeling this way. Maybe the reason is sugar.

During the holidays and special occasions we often have a lot of sugary goodies to eat, or not eat.  Perhaps when we do eat too much sugar, it can cause feelings like an emotional hangover.

Sometimes special people give us delicious treats and it’s hard not to eat them. Some people have trouble stopping or eating more then their body can take. This could cause terrible negative emotions, like anger, depression or disappointment.

So, what can we do to get to feeling better?  One quick fix is to take several long “whiffs” of Joy oil.  Joy is a luxuriously exotic blend with uplifting overtones that creates magnetic energy and brings joy to the heart. When worn as cologne or perfume, Joy exudes an alluring and irresistible fragrance that inspires romance and togetherness. When diffused, it can be refreshing and uplifting.

The best way to start your day is with protein for breakfast.  Young Livings Power Meal is a great source of protein.

Power Meal

Product Summary

A delicious, satisfying, rice-based meal replacement, Power Meal is rich in calcium, antioxidants, and amino acids, and delivers an impressive 20 grams of protein per serving plus a complete vitamin, mineral, and enzyme profile.

Product Story

No matter where you’re from, what your profession, gender, or socioeconomic status, most of us are seeking the same thing: a healthier, better lifestyle. While we may have the same goal, we often differ on our dedication and methodology. Young Living recognizes our differences and also recognizes our shared nutritional needs.

As part of Young Livings quality line of meal replacement and dietary supplements, Power Meal is a revolutionary meal replacement with a broad range of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and complete proteins. Power Meal is a healthy and delicious meal replacement approved for a vegetarian diet.

Power Meal’s brown rice protein has a high glutamine and alanine content, making it a great protein for cellular hydration. With 20 grams of protein per serving, Power Meal provides your body with the key ingredients it needs to build and repair tissue, make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals.

Power Meal is an unparalleled blend of science and nature. Not only is it a complete, pre-digested, dairy and sugar-free, low-fat vegetarian protein drink, but it’s also packed with vitamins, trace minerals, amino acids, essential oils, Ginkgo biloba, inositol, selenium, and digestive enzymes. It’s redefining the term “meal replacement.”

Primary Benefits

+ Dairy and allergen free

+ Enhances natural detoxification process

+ Builds lean muscle mass

+ Multi-nutrient Meal Replacement Complex

+ Provides sustained energy release

+ Supplies 20 grams of protein per serving

+ Supports healthy, normal cholesterol levels

What Makes This Product Unique?

Power Meal is a vegetarian protein meal replacement formulated without dairy or animal products. Combining wolfberries with concentrated rice protein, Power Meal is rich in the branched chain amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and Lvaline, which are crucial for building healthy muscles. It includes arabinoxylan, one of the most powerful immune stimulator’s known.*

Power Meal contains Ginkgo biloba, which promotes circulation in peripheral blood vessels; eleuthero to improve performance; and enzymes to support the digestion and assimilation of protein. Power Meal contains choline, inositol, MSM, L-carnitine, zeaxanthin, and chromium. And lastly, Power Meal boasts Young Livings therapeutic-grade essential oils of lemon, orange and anise.*

How To Use

Add two scoops of Power Meal to 8-10 ounces of cold water or the milk of your choice. ( I like to use Almond Milk). Shake, stir, or blend until smooth. For added flavor, add fruit or essential oils. It is really good with a banana!!

By starting your day this way, the sugar hangover feeling goes away, and the cranky, depressed feelings may subsides.

Our lives are of continual learning and growth. We have our setbacks, but the important thing to do is to overcome our feelings of despair. At times it is difficult to understand why we get the feelings we do, but if you do figure it to be “sugar blues”, make the right choice to change those feelings, for yourself and for those around you.

I would enjoy hearing your feedback and if you would like, please contact me.

ningxia-red-plateOn the second day of Christmas Young Living scent to me 2 NingXia Reds and a bottle of Lavender oil.

Ahhh such a treat to have NingXia Red and to start my day off each morning with an ounce or two. The benefit of this wonderful anti-oxidant I know is one of the reasons I stay healthy and feel good.

NingXia Red® is a naturally delicious, nutrient-infused wolfberry drink that may energize, fortify, and replenish your body. Rich in wide-spectrum antioxidant activity, NingXia Red has the highest levels of naturally occurring, age-defying S-ORAC activity that may help to support immune function, cardiovascular health, and nourish the eyes. NingXia Red also contains lemon and orange essential oils rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene to promote healthy liver function. NingXia wolfberry, the primary ingredient in NingXia Red, has been cherished for centuries for its health, energy, and longevity benefits. Whole Ningxia wolfberries and other nutrient-dense fruit juices, like blueberry and pomegranate, make NingXia Red the perfect choice for optimizing wellness and stepping up to a whole new level of health.*

The NingXia Red Promise
NingXia Red combines the finest Ningxia wolfberries, proprietary “Nutrient-Guard” preparation, and other all-natural, nutrient-dense ingredients to provide:

  • Dynamic energy and stamina without harmful stimulants (e.g., caffeine, green tea, etc.)
  • Key glyconutrients that fuel vital energy systems
  • Unique protein-polysaccharides that help sustain proper immune function
  • Highest levels of naturally occurring, age defying S-ORAC activity
  • Great taste with no sugary “junk-juices” (e.g., apple, white grape, pear, etc.)

Essential nutrients in NingXia Red also help support the following: Normal cardiovascular function, normal eye health, normal cell growth, healthy liver function and an excellent addition to add to any one’s lifestyle.

If you would like to give a gift of health to a loved one, a bottle of NingXia Red would be an excellent choice.
