The gift of Aromatherapy

If you are looking for something special to give someone, consider Aromatherapy. Top quality essential oils made from plants and flowers are available through Nature Sunshine products. They have many benefits including helping to relieve stress, balancing, stimulating and improving the overall health for men and women.

By inhaling the scent of the oils from diffusers and adding a few drops on your pillow it will activate the system. Also massaging the oils directly into the skin, using a base oil such as Grapeseed oil, Coconut oil or a variety of other oils. Massage into the bottom of your feet at night is a great way to relax.

If you want to relax the mind, body and spirit get some quality essential oils and learn how to use Aromatherapy properly. You can find some good books on Amazon.

2 great Aromatherapy recipes

Small, cozy Spa located in South Suburbs is now offering mobile massage

Sacred Therapy Spa is a small, cozy spot hidden in Homewood, Illinois where men and women can come for relaxing massages and other spa treatments such as hot stones, herbal body wraps, aromatherapy therapy massages using quality essential oils and deep tissue massages if needed. Lots hard-working men and women look forward to their massage treatments after a hard day’s work. Some sit at computers for long hours, others are teachers, nurses, drivers, and other jobs that affect the body and can cause stress, tension and tight muscles. Some are caregivers taking care of others for long hours. People who are into fitness, including weight lifting, cardio and running have sore muscles, aches and pains and love the special treatments they get from Marguerite, the main therapist at Sacred Therapy Spa.

 

Marguerite has been a licensed Massage Therapist for over 6 years. She has been into Aromatherapy and Herbal medicine for even longer. She decided to establish her own private practice after working at various spas downtown Chicago and various mobile massage assignments. She loves attending to her own clients now. It is very rewarding when she relieves stress, pain, anxiety and more and watch her clients leave satisfied, relaxed and ready to return on a regular basis for more! She sees the power of the healing touch and prays God continues to use her hands for healing.

 

In the upcoming year Marguerite’s goal is to build some mobile massage contracts. She has a database of other Licensed Massage Therapists that she has worked with in the past. Some who are extremely talented in the field. She hopes to line up some assignments where Therapists can bring their mobile massage chairs into corporate locations and small businesses to help employees achieve some relief from tension from the work day. Mobile massage is becoming more popular on the workforce. Teachers need some stress relief on their jobs. Plus, with the database Marguerite has and is continuing to develop she hopes to provide Therapists at spa parties, Pop-up shops, trade shows, conventions and even if couples would love to have Therapists come to them. It is all in the works now.

 

Go to www.facebook.com/sacredtherapy and read her great reviews.

 

If you would like to set up something where Therapists could come to your work place or event contact Sacred Therapy Spa. You can call or text to 708-232-8970.

• Mental clarity
• Decrease anxiety and mild depression
• Relieves headaches
• Muscle aches
• Helps carpal tunnel and tendonitis

And much more!

Congested system – Varicose Veins

 

Ballerina, Misty Copeland

Our body gives us signs that it’s congested and blood flow is not what it should be. One sign is varicose veins. Many women battle with this condition. Those large, raised veins, most times blue in color. The inflammation can cause pain. Women are getting treatments to remove these veins but many do not try to find the root of the problem and solve that issue. People who have jobs that cause them to stand for long hours can contribute to the cause of varicose veins.

 

Other causes include:

• Fried Foods
• Dairy
• Constipation
• Obesity
• Low fiber diet

 

To help rid varicose veins with a natural program and healthy lifestyle here are some suggestions:

 

Herbal supplements:

• Vari-gone formula
• Vari-gone cream
• Butcher’s broom – tones, strengthens and nourishes veins.
• Capsicum – start with one cap and increase
• Noni juice – contains enzymes
• Herbal colon cleanse program (Granddaddy cleanse – recipe available)
  Has fiber, laxative, bentonite clay to loosen hardened fecal matter

 

Aromatherapy:

Lemon, Cypress, Sandalwood, Peppermint, Clary Sage (10 drops Lemon, 4 drops Peppermint, 2 drops Sandalwood in tbsp. Of massage oil).

 

Diet:

Vegetarian diet is best, plenty green vegetables – helps circulation

Lots of red and blue fruits, whole grains, brown rice and fish for essential fatty acids.

 

Lifestyle:

Regular exercise and dry skin brushing

Essential Oils and their Benefits (Learn the benefits of some single oils)

 

 

 

Article from our guest writer Jon Reyes

 

More than just an enjoyable part of a day at the spa, essential oils can provide tons of important health benefits all on their own! These oils, primarily made with plant extracts, are used as active ingredients in cleaning and personal hygiene products, pest control products, and over-the-counter medications like certain lice sprays and mentholated lozenges or rubs. Studies have even shown that these oils could be an exciting development in the battle against antibiotic resistant superbugs.

 

However, you don’t need to use products containing essential oils to benefit from them. These oils can be used as aromatherapy, massaged into the skin, added to bathwater, used in a compress, or burned in a diffuser. There are more than 90 types of essential oils, and most have antibacterial qualities as well as varying emotional and physical impacts. These oils can often be blended together to create a combination of functions to suit your needs – as well as a unique, soothing odor.

Sandalwood

Historically, this rich, woody essential oil has been used in medicines, skin and beauty treatments, and a wide range of hygiene products ranging from perfumes to mouth fresheners. The medicinal properties of sandalwood are extensive – this antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and sedative qualities make it perfect for treating conditions including depression, reproductive health, bronchitis, stress, and even insecurity.

Lavender

Sweet, fresh, and floral, lavender is especially useful when it comes to relieving tension and pain, but it can also be used as a disinfectant for the skin and hair, stimulates blood circulation, and helps control respiratory issues. Studies have shown increased cognitive function and reduced stress and anxiety after inhaling lavender oil, making this a perfect choice for anyone who struggles with nerves. This fragrant oil can also be used as an insect repellant – and applied to any bites or stings reduce pain or irritation, thanks to lavender’s anti-inflammatory properties.

Peppermint

This oil has a familiar minty fragrance, and is used to treat gastrointestinal issues including nausea and flatulence. It’s also especially effective for relieving the pain of headaches and migraines, and the stimulating effect of this oil is ideal for people suffering from exhaustion or mental fatigue. Peppermint is a great alternative to traditional medications for anyone suffering from a cold, as this oil can help expel phlegm, clear congestion, and ease breathing.

Frankincense

The spicy, woody scent of frankincense is one of the most potent essential oils for ensuring good health. An application of this oil to cuts and scrapes can prevent wounds from sepsis, as frankincense can help promote cell regeneration and recovery – which can also help prevent the formation of cancer cells. Frankincense can heal scars and stretch marks, cure coughs and colds, relieve allergy symptoms, sooth anxiety, stress, and grief, and even mitigate potential brain damage from head injuries.

Cedarwood

Anyone who has had to suffer through a bout of athlete’s foot knows how unpleasant fungal infections can be – and cedarwood is a great way to treat these growths. This sharp, woody oil is used for a number of conditions, including skin problems, arthritis, bronchitis, cystitis, tuberculosis, and gonorrhea. Cedarwood is great for cleansing toxins, water, salt, and fat from the body, and helps to prevent hair loss.

Lemongrass

This fresh-smelling essential oil is great when you’re fighting an influenza outbreak. Not only does lemongrass help keep fevers down, it can kill bacteria, soothe inflammation, inhibit microbial growth, and reduce pain. This potent oil also reduces hemorrhaging and helps prevent wounds from becoming septic. It’s also very stimulating, and inhaling this oil can help with exhaustion and fatigue.

 

When shopping for essential oils to add to your health care routine, keep in mind that these are not interchangeable with fragrance oils. Essential oils are made from plants, but fragrance oils are artificially created, usually with synthetic chemicals, to give off a particular scent. They do smell nice and can generally be purchased quite inexpensively, they don’t have the valuable therapeutic benefits of essential oils. To get the full health benefits of essential oils, choose oils that are high quality and pure.

 

These oils are very strong, and if not used properly, could cause unwanted side effects. Check with a health care professional before you begin treating any serious conditions with essential oils.

Praying for Kanye West – Emotional health

 

Rap artist Kanye West has been in the news quite a bit lately after his breakdown during his concert in Sacramento, California. He was hospitalized for dehydration and sleep deprivation this Thanksgiving weekend.

Even though he is a world renowned rapper and producer, he is our own son, friend and cousin here in the Chicago area. His mom was a well known instructor at Chicago State University and we all will never forget the news around this time of year nine years ago when she passed away. Kanye has never been the same, of course, after losing his own mom, who I am sure, was his inspiration and “go to” for comfort and support.

As the BET report mentions below (see link), this situation with Kanye West’s psychiatric conditions may help bring mental health awareness to the forefront, especially for the Black Community. As an herbalist, for emotional health I try to include supplements to support the nervous system like our vitamin Bs. Herbs and natural cleanses for the Liver is important too. Because the Liver is the organ of emotions, based on Chinese medicine. The specific emotion linked the liver is anger. So keep the liver healthy. Chinese Mood Elevator is a good herbal Chinese Medicine for emotional health. It helps promote the sense of health and well-being. Lastly, using Aromatherapy for emotional health is a secret more are discovering. Using different essential oils have benefits to help emotions such as anger, grief, depression, sadness and fear. Just inhaling the oils sooth, relax and help people regain a calmness. Add positive affirmations and breathing techniques effectiveness. One of my favorite oil blends include: Refuge Calming blend, INSPIRE Uplifting blend, CORE Balancing blend and of course Lavender and Frankincense is calming. Neroli is an anti-depressant.  Check my website below…

ENJOY YOUR WEEK!!!

Back home from Dallas and Nature Sunshine’s Convention was great!!!

It was a big Breakthrough

From the time I received an email stating that I earned convention this year as a Manager with Nature Sunshine, I have been so excited. This company is so great they will send you to their National conventions if you earn it by promoting the products. This means the cost of the convention and room and board was covered by the company. I don’t know many companies that do that. The location of the convention was so beautiful – Gaylord convention center. It was like a dream and Dallas, Texas has some of the most friendly people in the USA!!! I felt so refreshed to get that southern hospitality. I stayed with my dear friend, sister and mentor Medina Nance who has been a Manager for Nature Sunshine for many years and traveled to many exciting locations with them. She even said this was her best experience ever at a National convention. I can’t believe how perfect everything turned out.

People from all over the US and beyond attended the convention. We met so many people. I felt good to be in a large room with a group of people who all had the same desire to help people live healthier lives and provide them with top quality supplements by NSP. We all sat on the edge of our seats as they introduced to newest products from the company and it is a package everybody needs to help live healthier.

Nature Sunshine introduced:

Metabolic Age Support System – helps the effects of metabolic dysfunction

Eleven Elevated – Improved Probiotic Eleven supplement

and 3 new essential oils
– Relief blend
– Prosper blend
and Organic Orange

The scents of all of NSP’s oils compare to none and I gained so much knowledge in Aromatherapy along with hearing amazing testimonies on the use of oils.

I could go on and on about this year’s convention but I will end by saying contact me if you want the details on the newest products and if you want to know how to get into the NSP business and earn a trip to next year’s convention in Florida to celebrate 45 years in business you better get with me so we can all be there in 2017!!!

How to save money and have a healthy family

Tips for you in saving money and earning money too!!

I have been in holistic health for almost nineteen years now. I can’t believe it myself, but when I first signed up to be a distributor with Nature Sunshine Products my son was in a baby carrier. He is now taller than I and in his first year of college.

First: I became a distributor, promoting the herbal colon cleanse I still sale to this day, along with all of NSP’s 300-500 products. Second: While working a full-time job I sold the products on the side. I also took courses to become and Certified Herbalist in Chicago, under Medina J. Nance. I added the knowledge of Aromatherapy to my resume also because I love all the wonderful benefits of essential oils. Third: I later set up my own health blog and I’ve been blogging since that time (five or six years ago). Forth: After a few job layoffs in the Print Graphic industry, working for publishing companies and newspapers I decided to take my holistic health passion and turn it into a full-time profession. I went to school to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. It was challenging considering I was almost 50 years old at the time, but I completed the 11-month program at Soma Institute of Chicago.

 

Now I have my own space where I have clients who come in for massage, herbal body wraps and my ZYTO Compass scan that can read my clients and help them get on a personalized program with Nature Sunshine Products, including Essential oils, Flower Essence for emotional health and the other supplements the body reads for. We will be starting an INFORM Health class soon, which is a weight management 13 week class, with support, weekly weigh-ins and more in Homewood, IL, a south suburb of Chicago.
