2012-01-30T11:58:00.000-05:00

BERGAMOT - Citrus Bergamia

Uplifting and refreshing oil, said to be good for confidence building. It is
greenish-yellow in color (darkening with age) and fresh, sweet-fruity, slightly
balsamic. Bergamot is proported to be useful for oily and blemished skin,
exzema, urinary tract infection, intestinal parasites, anxiety and depression.
It is familiar as the flavoring in Earl Grey Tea.
Bergamot is considered to be:
Uplifting, soothing, balancing, anti-depressant, and antiseptic.

Seasonal Effective Disorder (SAD)
A decline in the amount of sunlight we receive triggers the body to produce
different hormones than longer days with more sunlight. Light deprevation is
linked to a physical disease call "seasonal affective disorder.)
When the eyes, even with eye lids closed, perceives specific levels of light,
the brain begins to produce hormones. The production of seratonin, causes the
body to awaken. On the other end of the spectrum when it is dark the body
produces melatonin, to help us fall asleep.
Our best defense on cloudy dark days,when we wake we should wash with citrus
soaps, we have sweet orange moisturizer soap,moisturize with lime blossom cream,
and mist the air with our aromatherapy, uplifting aroma mist, and add the
uplifting blend to your defusers.
My recommendations promotes clarity of thought and purpose as well as physical
energy. The aromas are invigorating and warming.

Stress causes a lack of oxygen 2 dangerous combinations

2012-01-15T13:26:00.000-05:00

Stress Causes a lack of oxygen together a dangerous combination

Harmful experiences cause a tremendous amount of stress and the side effects cover a full spectrum of health concerns. I spoke earlier about the vitality in my skincare products. The vitality is synergistic and applies to a wide range of therapeutic value for a holistic lifestyle. Essential oils for the bath along with a cup of tea, soft light and aromatherapy products are necessary, if not mandatory when you fall prey to a severe stress attack. Anxiety, heart palpitations, grief, shock, depression, etc. Severe stress, causes real suffering internally, and is the ground work for many serious diseases.

Man is a mixture of light and darkness, a 24 hour day is structured by the light and darkness. Why do we sleep better in total darkness? Because this is the time of day when we detox, and who in their right mind can endure all the discomfort toxins cause. We are infiltrated with dark energy and all the ill effects darkness wreaks on our mind, body, and soul...~``

We suffer in areas where there is stagnation. Dark stagnant places is the perfect medium for destructive organisms, which will destroy all who abide. Darkness, as chronic conditions grow, will build destructive blockages, such as an old injuries do. There are stagnant, dead corpuscles that prevent circulation causing a total lack of oxygen. This creates a physical and emotional blockage. This can be changed. Spiritually we can recieve light and oxygen. Bathing we can recieve oxygen from the negative ions in the essential oils, from deep breathing we intionally deliver oxygen to our cells. Negative ions from the essential oil surpasses all. It travels quickly and freely in between our cells in the lipid fluid, than reaction and connections occur. The negative ions are back where they belong, in the center of our cells, ready to take orders from the guardian within. Where you go from here you are on your own...

I may be able to help you get there with some recommendations for stress related conditons. Rose, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, Lavender, Rosemary, Geranium, and citrus oils all can reach the stagnant blockages in your body. How do they work?

Essential oils are loaded with negative ions, this is an electrical charge within plants that deliver oxygen to the dark stagnent areas in your body. Negative ions reside in the volitile oils, a living component with a vital synergy. The vitality of negative ions, loaded with oxygen, can repair damaged cells by delivering oxygen back to the center of the cells. Oxygen is healing, and remains the center of every living being. Cancer, cardio vascular disorders, reproductive problems, digestive disorders, kidney and liver disease all can start to heal with the help of essential oils. Emotional issues, some of the best oils to balance all internal conditions...

Let us all walk in the light and let the healing begin.

Products I recommend is calm enchantment bath salts and calm enchantment lotion. Refreshing comfort cream and southern citrus aromatherapy mist. Lavender soap, lavender herb garden mist, massage oil, bath salts, and lavender cream or lotion. Skincare Guardian collection...

Anna's Secret Skin Renewal (complete synergy)

Rose Geranium Cream and soap

Lavender Cream and soap

Refreshing Comfort Cream and sweet orange soap.

Patchouly and ultimat tonic a detoxer with a calming synergy.

All of these synergies deliver oxygen to our cells, strenghten the system or systems in our body, and repair damaged cells. Also calm your emotions and deliver light to the area where darkness hit the hardest.

Take a relaxing bath and let oxygen heal and bring the light in.

Live Pure,

Chamomile, Roman (Chamaemelum nobile)

Chamomile contains esters, angelic acid and tiglic acids, which are active components that are documented to help nerve induced pain and fatigue from mental stress which cause headaches. It is calming for upset bellies associated with morning sickness and pregnancy; the esters neutralize bad acids which cause nausea in general. The anti-stress properties run deep along the central nervous system to the neuropathic brain tunnels, relaxing fatigue and muscular spasms, gag impulses and nervous tension headaches.

Chamomile is considered a bactericidal, disinfectant, antiseptic, and we consider chamomile a great addition in our soothing, (first aid) cream. Roman Chamomile essential oil is an addition and part of my design in our, floral water, Anna's Secret Skin Renewal, Anna's Cleansing Lotion, Wild Yam Cream to deliver the tiny molecules into our skin driving the compounds thru the lipid fluids between the cells following different pathways to aid and assist our immune system with a healthy synergy to benefit our body.

Guardian Angel Within Us All

2011-12-23T13:04:00.000-05:00

A developing fetus at 6 weeks old has taste buds, they are connected to the Ol' Factory System. This occurs before the brain is developed. The first senses a fetus has is their sense of smell ol' factory system and taste.
This one scientific, mysterious development leads me to question the value and power essential oils have. Taste buds are developing first and the ol factory is delivering the chemicals from the taste buds to the endoctrine system. Our bodies need the taste buds to deliver all the essential compounds, chemicals, vitamins, minerals, immune boosters, emotional balancers, to help the fetus develop, strenghten, cleanse, protect, balance and harmonize the energy our body needs to live holistically.
As mysterious as this is going to sound; and I know I may loose a few of you here, but could it be, the guardian angel we are born with is Gods' plant kingdom? In catholic school, I think this is one of the first lessons you learn. We are all born with a guardian angel?
Why are we designed to grow this way? The embiblical chord is the main artery nutrients travel through. The essential oils, nutrients, proteins and starches attach to the taste buds and are channeled to the endocrine system at the earliest stages of our life. Whole foods are processed by mom and channeled from her taste buds and sense of smell first. We never change the initial growth process. Our taste buds are the first to acquire nutrients, then the sense of smell which delivers the scent (which are chemicals) to the endocrine system for processing.
Whole foods contain essential oils, which travel through digestion, smell, and our skin. Sweat glands and hair follicles deliver scent or essential oils to the eight different systems within. Essential oil are a store house of energy. One type of energy created by sun light is electrolytes. Electrolytes create chlorophyl. Chlorophyl is a main powerhouse food we should learn more about, because the benefits will amaze you.

So, my question is, "Will the real Guardian Angel please, stand up"?

Refined Sugar damages skin tissue

2011-12-23T11:51:00.001-05:00

Refined sugar consumption triggers a process called glycation in which the sugar molecules attach themselves to proteins. The result is harmful new proteins called "AGEs" (advanced glycation end-products) that cause harm to all cells in the body.

They also make collagen proteins more rigid. The result is reduced elasticity in this important structural skin protein. Wrinkles and creases can then form more easily due to repeated ingestion of sugar, refined carbohydrates and environmental damage.

The brittle texture caused by glycation can be remedied by using skincare guardian lotions or cream. I add virgin coconut oil and herbal extracts which break down the brittle protein and replace it with a new healthy cell. The elasticity will return to your skin along with your healthy glow and the ability to reverse the fine lines by toning the skin. It may take up to a year for the total make-over but, holistically it is working on all your systems daily so you feel great while your transitioning toward optimal health.

Plant Extracts in lotion and creams by Skincare Guardian for Optimal Health. Your youthful appearance can and will be restored.

Radiation fallout and how to protect yourself

2011-03-20T12:52:00.000-04:00

P.R.A.Y. (Pernicious Radiation Attacking You) A list of conservative modalities is believed to have radioprotective effects

Sunday, March 20, 2011 7:26

Radioactive fallout and contamination from the recent nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi power complex in Japan is potentially a worldwide problem. The United States and other countries are ill-equipped to protect against radioactive iodine-131, caesium-137 and other forms of radiation by-products.

It’s well established that exposure to large doses of radiation can cause death within a few hours or days while lesser exposures may lead to many different types of cancers including; thyroid, breast, skin, stomach, bone, blood, brain, lung and others.

Conventional intervention should always be employed as means of mitigating radiation exposure such as that being reported about in Japan. Skin decontamination is managed through frequent and through bathing of water to the affected areas.

Although there is no known method available to completely prevent exposure to radiation from being absorbed into the human body, supplements in the form of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, herbal, homeopathic medicines, amino acids, probiotics and natural hormone(s) may provide some level of protection in the form of free radical reduction and radiation detoxification. Additionally, certain foods and detoxification baths are worth consideration.

In light of the current acute crisis in Japan, the world is focused on nuclear radiation/fallout. However, what many people may not realize is that insidious and casual forms of ionizing radiation are also dangerous as our exposure levels increase. I’m referring to radiation exposure from first and secondhand cigarette smoke, X-rays, CT scans, cancer radiation therapy, radon gas and cosmic radiation from taking jet airplane flights.

The following list of conservative modalities is believed to have radioprotective effects and may provide some level of cellular detoxification.

1. Potassium iodide (KI) tablets – available in select health and drugs stores. However, as of the writing of this document, it may be difficult to obtain potassium iodide due to a strong public demand. Potassium iodate (KIO3) tablets are generally less expensive and have a longer shelf life.

2. EDTA chelation – consult a MD, DO or ND provider experienced in chelation therapy

3. Melatonin – protects every cell in the body against ionizing radiation damage, unlike iodide which acts exclusively on the thyroid gland.

4. AHCC ( Active Hexose Correlated Compound) – this shiitake mushroom derived botanical has potent free radical quenching capabilities

5. Chlorella tablets or powder. This is a fresh water single-celled green algae derived plant is believed to possess radioprotective properties. It’s therapeutic affects come from its ability to neutralize damaging free radicals that would otherwise damage cells and tissues

6. Spirulina tablets or powder. After the Chernobyl nuclear accident in Russia, spirulina supplementation was purportedly able to reduce urine radioactivity levels by fifty percent in approximately three weeks.

7. Vitamin D - Radiological health expert Daniel Hayes, Ph.D., of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene suggests that a form of vitamin D could be one of our body's main protections against radiation, specifically low levels of radiation. Writing in the International Journal of Low Radiation, Hayes explains that calcitriol (vitamin D3), the active form of vitamin D, may protect us from background radiation and could be used as a safe protective agent before or after a low-level nuclear incident. Hayes argues that vitamin D, and in particular its biologically active form – vitamin D3, could be the key ingredient in protection against radiation

8. Reduced glutathione – is an amino acid believed to reduce free-radical damage to DNA and prevents depletion of other antioxidants.

9. Causticum, Ginseng and Ruta graveolens – can be useful homeopathic medicines. These and others can be used if a radioactive release occurs and maybe helpful in counteracting exposure effects

10. Epson salt, baking soda and clay baths. These long used detoxification baths are considered safe, effective and inexpensive when it comes to eliminating harmful substances from the body including radiation

Lastly, many readily available foods should be considered as a staple when it comes to systemic radiation contamination management and include; all cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, collards greens, cabbage, turnips, bok choy, and kale. Additionally, fermented soy products and sea vegetables should be frequently consumed including; miso, kelp, wakame, brown rice and kombu.

To your good health,

Herbal Support For Shingles

2010-12-17T08:31:00.003-05:00

SHINGLES
Stress and physical illness can trigger our immune system to react and defend. If there is not a pathogenic organism attacking our body, the immune system will find an underlying condition and create a defensive attack because stress creates inflammation, the thick sticky substance our immune system uses to knock out invaders as I perceive them. Without the invaders our immune system finds an underlying problem; the toxins from the chicken pocks and drives the toxins to the front line cleansing our body by releasing the toxin to our skin, the largest cleansing organ in our body, the skin develops symptoms we know as shingles, a rash, the immune system is cleansing our body through the skin.
The lavender bath salts will help with the aches and pains associated with shingles and help restore your health. Lavender is an adaptagen, whichs helps the weakest systems in your body regain balance and strength. It is also anti viral, which should address shingles and the toxins caused by the virus.
The herbal foot salve will help neurological pain (neuropathy) cleanses toxins, and soothes skin eruptions. It will help dry skin also, poor circulation, pain, and skin infections.
Calendula cream with chamomile will soothe the inflammation, repair damaged skin cells and proliferate new skin tissue which will repair and recondition your skin and hopefully will heal scar tissue.
My, Anna's Secret Skin Renewal and the Anna's Skin Renewal Cleansing Cream contain a lot of nutrients to repair, restore, and hydrate your skin.

Tea Blend With Native Plants

Tea is a choice we all have to make because of all the beautiful varieties. My favorite blend of tea is dried flowers, leaves, and berries. Calendula petals, apple mint, lemon balm, rosemary, sumac berries, and elderberries.

Liz, I am going to take you up on your question, is my tea available to purchase?
Give me a week or so and I’ll have the tea in bulk. Will you do me a big favor? Ask the ladies in your herb group if they would like tea also. They all seemed to have enjoyed the tea as much as the scones.
You mentioned sharing the blend at your next meeting, tell them they can fine it on my blog so we can keep our dialogue going on herbs and essential oils.

I want to be sure I dry enough of the fresh herbs when I go to the greenhouse and gather.

Essential OIls and Herbal Extracts - Back to Basics

2009-11-05T07:42:00.005-05:00

Herbs and Essential Oils Work With the Immune System

Before antibiotics and vaccinations humanity depended on Herbal Extracts including essential oils, tinctures and infusions to heal all kinds of disease. Essential oils and herbal extracts contain all sorts of molecular components, such as chemicals, compounds, terpenes, eugenols, menthols, bioflavanoids, proteins, amino acids, oxygen, etc.

They are all aligned to travel through our system, delivered to the proper neuropath, triggering the immune system to release the proper cells for the mission at hand, destroying bacteria, viral organisms, and at the same time they are protecting and nourishing our cells. It is in our best interest to sustain our body with whole plants for food and plant extracts for medicine to obtain ultimate health benefits.

This synergistic effect is the vital life force which heals the body of disease by working together and regulating what action is deemed necessary to shed the body of disease. Holistically it may require essential oils, herbal extracts, herbal infusions, rest, healthy hygiene, fresh air, sunshine, and exercise to win the battle. Healthy living is a lifestyle not a quick fix.
Essential oils used externally are fat soluble so they pass easily into the body and can travel through the fat cells, oil glands, and sweat glands to quickly reach every cell in the body.

Peppermint, lemon, frankincense, and the TLC OILS Gladiator Aromatherapy Blend are volatile oils, light molecules which travel quickly by vaporizing. The vapor travels through air passages and are delivered to the blood stream where the oxygen and other chemicals are absorbed and channeled to the proper system in our body. If the body does not require certain molecular compounds in the vapor they are released through breathe or carbon monoxide. Cinnamon oil found in the TLC OILS Gladiator Aromatherapy Blend, and frankincense are both anti-viral and antibacterial-yet they are harmless in our bodies and support the immune system. If there is no inflammation in our body it will not trigger the immune system to react. We will receive some of the other benefits they offer as the weakest system in the body is nurtured from essential oils.
Lemon is great for boosting the immune system. It is anti bacterial and helps cleanse the lymphatic system and purify the blood.

Cinnamon Oil is great for the immune system it supports the pancreas and digestive system by assisting the pancreas and spleen to shed toxins, bacteria, and viruses which cause diseases related to the digestive tract, gall bladder, kidneys and liver.

Frankincense Oil one of the most powerful immune-boosting oils, purifies the body from pathogens that are threatening disease and clears the head helping us keep a positive outlook and a clearer perspective. It also purifies the air we breathe and delivers oxygen to our blood stream.

Peppermint and Eucalyptus Oils are cooling and soothing oils known to clear the respiratory system and ease breathing. They can be applied directly to the neck, throat, chest, and back to open the lungs or inhaled to soothe the sinuses. Peppermint and eucalyptus are safe to apply on the skin.

Lavender the universal oil it is anti bacterial and anti viral.
Will help with aches and congested muscular system. Also with congestion in the chest, use it as a chest rub, in your bath, and as massage oil.
The TLC OILS Gladiator Aromatherapy Blend (an improved Theives Oil blend) is very beneficial as a chest rub, also for the lymphatic system. apply mixed using 10 drops per ounce of carrier oil or use as a mist for the air and breathe in so you deliver the vapor to the blood stream quickly.

The same essential oils that you might use to treat a virus, cold or flu can be used as prevention. If your workplace is contaminated or half your community has been sick this week, now might be a good time to start using oils. You can apply them less often but use them daily, before you go out and after you have been in a public arena.

Give your body an herbal boost. Herbal tinctures, infusions and supplements are available to help the immune system. Fresh or dried herbs and whole food remedies are always preferable for ultimate health. Lemon is the ideal food for restoring acid-alkali balance. Drinking lemon water or adding it to tea, salad dressing, baking or cooking helps maintain the body’s internal climate at a pH which supports healthy bacteria instead of the viruses and harmful bacteria which thrive in more acidic environments.

Take care of yourselves; you are the reason for the season… Enjoy the Holidays stay Healthy!

Black Elderberry Extract proven to help combat swine Flu Virus!

2009-11-05T07:30:00.004-05:00

A New clinical study confirms efficacy against H1N1 virusScientists at the Retroscreen Virology Centre have identified that black elderberry extract is effective in fighting the swine flu H1N1 virus(1).In a randomised, placebo controlled, double-blind in-vitro study the black elderberry extract was found to be 70 per cent effective in preventing the H1N1 virus from infecting healthy cells and reduced intracellular replication by the same amount. The Black Elderberry extract commercially available was shown to have a significant effect on cells after just five minutes incubation time.

You can order Black Elderberry Extract at this link- http://creationsoap.com/elex1oz1.html

Details of the study are available at http://www.blackelderberry.info/.This new research suggests that black elderberry extract could provide a two-fold solution to both the prevention and treatment of the H1N1 swine flu virus. The study also substantiates earlier trial findings which showed that the black elderberry extract was effective in reducing the duration of influenza symptoms by four days(2). In comparison, Tamiflu only reduces the duration of symptoms by one day(3).

Previously, an in-vitro study also found black elderberry extract to be 99 per cent effective against the H5N1 strain of Avian Flu(4).Following these results, scientists are investigating the possibility of applying for permission to engage in in-vivo studies on swine flu sufferers - something which is currently prohibited under European law. Black elderberries are thought to contain a compound which coats viruses and prevents them from penetrating and infecting healthy cells. As a result viruses are unable to replicate. Any virus infected cells are then killed and ingested by the body’s white blood cells to remove the virus from the body.

Gary Snook from Pharmacare Europe, manufacturers of Sambucol says: “This study is encouraging at a time when we are facing widespread infection of the H1N1 virus. With a pandemic situation the need to prevent opportunities of transmission of the virus is of utmost importance. Antiviral formulations like this are of particular interest to control the spread of the virus.”He continues: “This study has tested black elderberry extract for its efficacy in inactivating the swine flu virus and the results are significant. Many people will find these results of interest, as black elderberry extract could provide a safe, effective solution to both preventing and treating the spread of swine flu.”

Dr Serene Foster, expert immunologist and registered medical herbalist agrees: “Black elderberries have been traditionally used to help protect against various viral ailments, including flu, because of their immune health properties. It is believed that a compound contained in the black elderberry extract used in this study, prevents viruses from attaching to living cells. This new research shows that these dark purple fruits are effective in helping the immune system to fight back against specific strains of flu such as the H1N1 strain.

”Native to hedgerows throughout November, the black elderberry plant is a tall tree-like shrub, found liberally through the British countryside. Historians trace the tradition of the black elderberry’s healing power back to Hippocrates, who is widely referred to as the ‘father of medicine’. He described the black elderberry as his ‘medicine chest’ for the wide range of ailments it appeared to cure – from cold and flu to burns, cuts and even the plague.

problems for our children. Chemicals DEP, DEHP, or Phthalates are added to baby products

lotioned with baby products. I'm posting the link so you can read the article for yourself.
