What is Aromatherapy?

    
Peace and blessings Beautiful People!



It has been a long time since I have post on my blog.  I have been upgrading my knowledge and skills in aromatherapy so that I can better serve my clients.  I have learned so much along this journey of studying essential oils and aromatherapy.

First, I will explain what an essential oil is for those who may not know or have never used essential oils.  An essential oil is the volatile liquid that is extracted through distillation from from the seed, root, bark, stem, leaf, fruit, flower, resin or wood of a plant. Essential oils are not like vegetable oils or carrier oils, they are actually molecules that have many therapeutic properties.

As aromatherapists, we use these precious oils to help facilitate the wellness of your mind, body and soul.  I love aromatherapy because it supports the whole person.  It is a holistic way to support your everyday wellness needs.  Aromatherapy is considered a Complimentary Alternative Medicine (CAM) and has been around for thousands of years.

Some of the benefits of aromatherapy with essential oils are:

• Can improve sleep quality
• Manage pain
• Reduce stress, agitation and anxiety
• Relieves headaches and migraines
• Improve digestion
• Fights bacteria, viruses and fungus
• Boost immunity

These are just a few of the benefits of using aromatherapy.  There is almost an essential oil for every body system that you want to support.  I love the many different ways that these oils can be used in our everyday life.  The best way to use aromatherapy is inhalation by diffusing.  They can also be used in a bath, DIY sprays, you can clean your home with the oils, make your own blends and body care products.  The list really goes on and on. 

If you would like to schedule a free 15 minute consultation with me to set up your personalized aromatherapy support plan, please email me at lifestylechanger9@gmail.com I look forward to assisting you with your aromatherapy needs.

Thank you for reading,

Avoiding sulfates can save your skin and hair.

(NaturalNews) Sulfates are a group of detergents or surfactants that are used in countless consumer goods today. The most commonly used sulfates are sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). These corrosive cleaning agents started off as an industrial strength cleaning additive since they easily cut through heavily soiled surfaces.

It was around the 1930's when shampoo, soap, toothpaste and other foaming personal care products containing these synthetic detergents were introduced. They have remained in most commercial formulations ever since the public grew used to high-lather products.

Harsh surfactants strip the hair and skin of valuable moisture

The fact that SLS and SLES detergents produce such a heavy, thick lather is not a good thing when it comes to your skin, hair and mouth. This corrosive lather actually strips away precious moisture and protective barriers.

It also roughs up the cuticle of the hair, making it appear dull, dry and damaged. The stripping action contributes to increased porosity which makes for a dull appearance and more problems with frizz and manageability. It has even been linked to follicular damage and can potentially contribute to hair loss.

When used in the mouth, it has a similar effect by eating away at the outer layers of protective skin cells and irritating the tissues. Using sulfate-containing toothpastes has been linked to canker sores and other lesions.

Soaps and skin cleansers containing these detergents strip away the protective lipids (natural fats) that encase the skin. They upset the moisture balance of the skin and unnecessarily dry it out. The false sense of "clean" that these detergents give is really due to the fact that they are stripping our protective layers from our skin and hair.

3 Simple Steps to Nurture Your Skin

Why Organic Skin Care?
They’re everywhere. In your eye cream. In your moisturizer. In your exfoliant, your firming serum, even your daily cleanser. They’re chemicals, and many experts fear they are causing damage to people on a daily basis. In-Cosmetics magazine reported in 2007 that the average woman absorbs nearly 5 pounds of chemicals from toiletries and makeup every year.* Biochemist Richard Bence, who carried out the research published in the magazine, believes the chemicals contained in many everyday beauty products could be doing untold damage.*

 The solution?
Nurture—an all natural and organic skin care line from Soul Purpose Lifestyle Company that offers “1, 2, 3 plus 1” simplicity along with all the goodness of nature— and no harmful chemicals. Nurture cleansers, toners, moisturizers and serums are formulated with pure essential oils and other natural ingredients that will give you the skin you want and deserve: softer, firmer, more radiant, clearer and … younger-looking.

The all-natural skin care line is endorsed by Grammy Award winning singer, Kathy Sledge, of the singing group Sister Sledge.



“When I heard about Nurture, I was so happy—at last I’d found skin care products formulated with the healing properties of essential oils and all the goodness of nature.” – Kathy Sledge

I personally use the NATURE kit. This Kit Contains: • Clarifying Vitamin C Face Wash • Balancing Vitamin C Toner • Alive Rejuvenating Day Cream.




The three simple steps to Nurture your skin is to:

1. Cleanse
2. Tone
3. Moisturize

 In future posts, over the next few days I will go in depth with the ingredients that are contained in each of these products and their benefits.  Personally, using these products on my skin has left my skin literally FLAWLESS! I am not boasting or bragging, its just the facts. I get compliments all the time on how good and clear that my skin looks.  My face is smooth, soft, and hydrated.  I am 44 years old and my sister in law commented on a picture that I was in with my 13 year old daughter and she asked, who is the mother in this pic! I just smiled.  If you look at my picture on my blog covering you can tell that I have glowing and radiant skin.  It is from eating the proper food. I  am a vegetarian and drink lots of water.  I also use nothing but Nurture skincare.  My skin is well taken care of!  I am a product of my product. To order your Nuture Kit, click here.


With your health and wellness in mind...

Until next time....Peace.

If you live north of the 27th parallel you are low in Vitamin D!

Between October and April because of the angle of the sun it is physically impossible to get enough Vitamin D from the suns rays. A daily supplement of this essential vitamin is absolutely necessary.

Here are a few symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency:


Skeletal disease: Anyone taking calcium knows that you need to take it with vitamin D. It's needed because vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains blood calcium levels to enable normal mineralization of bone and prevent abnormally low blood calcium levels that can then lead to tetany. Adequate vitamin D levels can prevent bones from becoming thin, brittle, or malformed. It is linked with the prevention of osteomalacia, osteopenia, and osteoporosis.

Cardiovascular disease: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased prevalence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke. The anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D may be the reason for this.

Depression: The association between lack of sunlight and depressive disorders was first noted 2,000 years ago. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine production in the brain through vitamin D receptors in the adrenal cortex, as well as protecting against the depletion of serotonin and dopamine. 

These are just a few symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency, you can read more of this article here.

For a good dose of vitamin D here is a all-natural supplement that can help you.

My Soul Purpose!

The Key to Achieving a Bright, even Complexion.

Did you know that Vitamin C is the key to achieving a bright, even complexion?  Erin Ferrill, East Coast educator for HydroPeptide said "The brightening qualities of this well-known vitamin make it the perfect companion for anyone struggling with age spots, sun damage or those who just want a makeup-free pick me up,"  It should also be noted that when vitamin C and vitamin E are taken together internally, they have been shown to increase the ability of the skin to protect itself from sun damage. It has even been hypothesized that this combination might give your skin a natural sun protection (SPF) of 2, she says. "While this is no excuse to ditch the sunscreen, it is a great way to give your skin a fighting chance against the damaging rays of the sun. Look for products that combine vitamin C with gentle exfoliants and natural skin brighteners like bearberry, licorice, mulberry and brightening peptides."

Our ClarifyingVitamin C Face Wash and Balancing Vitamin C Toner were created to nurture your skin. Our vitamin C formula contains the highest form of active, bio-available Vitamin C for beautiful skin. For up to eight- fold antioxidant protection, ninety-six percent reduction of sunburn cells, and prevention of the formation of free radicals in sun exposed skin. Fades sun spots and discoloration, refines skin texture and reduces wrinkle formation as well as minimizing existing wrinkles.

3 Benefits of using A Brown Sugar Scrub

 

Skin that is regularly exfoliated is healthier skin, both in appearance and function. Cleansed of dead skin, the largest organ can circulate more efficiently, breathing in good nourishment and expelling toxins. It also glows, is more uniform in appearance with tighter pores, and is soft to the touch.

Here are a 3 benefits of using a brown sugar scrub:

1.  Brown sugar conditions the skin. Unlike white sugar brown sugar is much gentler on the skin, so it is ideal for super-sensitive skin. The natural glycolic acid in sugar not only helps condition and moisturize skin, but protect it from toxins.

2.  Sugar works well to cleanse completely, so it can not only reduce any current body acne you may have, it can also help prevent further breakouts.

3.  Exfoliating with brown sugar relaxes the mind with its delicious smell, which is one of the biggest benefits of using brown sugar. It has a very deep, rich smell that can allow you to completely relax and pamper yourself.
