Yoga Helps the Lymphatic System

· ·

Just completed my second class in Yoga Medicine over the last few months. Their curriculum takes yoga to the next level…. this particular course focus was on lymphatics, and it it did not disappoint! 🤓🔥🧘‍♀️
 
A few highlight moments for me:
🫶 flow in all systems of the body is key. If any are stagnant, health will, without question, suffer.
🫶even if you think you don’t need to…. help your lymphatic system do its job! Nobody’s got time for excess trash to be sitting around creating mayhem in the body.
🫶 the lymphatic system doesn’t work nearly as well as it could if you are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode.
🫶 the left side of the body does alot more work than the right side when it comes to lymphatic drainage (don’t neglect either side tho!) Lymphatic flow increases 10fold during exercise💪
🫶 deep diaphragmatic breathing is absolutely essential on the daily!… not just for pulling neurological trash out of the brain, but for healthy lymph flow in general. Nobody’s got time for brain diseases!!!! Just do it.
🫶deep sleep is critical for maximum brain cleaning (if you aren’t sleeping, message me, and I’ll give you some tips for improved zzzzzzzz’s🥱)
🫶Risk factors of developing lymphedema include older age, muscle loss, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, sedentary lifestyle, cardiovascular disease, cancer treatment, and post operative recovery period.
🫶just as in detoxing elsewhere, open the exit doors first before loving on your lymphatic system.

The ‘𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞‘ has everything you need to add a little bit of sunshine to your space (not to mention a steady support of oxytocin production! It’s hard for excess cortisol to hijack your day when oxytocin is in charge! 🤓). These oils are great for diffusing, cleaning, and creating DIYs, and this beautiful diffuser will enhance any room!

April “No foolin” Freebies

· ·

NO FOOLIN’! APRIL IS HERE, AND SO ARE SOME FANTASTIC FREEBIES WITH PURCHASE THIS MONTH🙌!
 
Do you know your oils? Remember friends, YL oils are products with a purpose. While smelling great does fulfill a purpose, there are other actions these two house faves accomplish as well.
 
YL Orange essential oil is happy 😍 in a bottle. I recently read a study about the positive/supportive effects of simply smelling orange essential oil on the production of oxytocin in the body. Oxytocin is a “feel good” hormone that gives us the “warm fuzzies” (it plays a pivotal role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and post-childbirth). When oxytocin is produced, it trumps the production of “fight or flight” cortisol. Considering the amount of stress the average person is under nowadays….. I think “they” should be dumping this stuff from planes! Not likely that will happen…… but we can add it to our diffuser, and “diffuse the situation” or create a happy calm environment in our sphere of influence.
 
YL Lemongrass essential oil is another one of my faves. I personally use it internally to support “an unhealthy environment for candida” (3 drops in a capsule…. it comes as a Vitality/white label….. remember that no matter the label color….. it’s the SAME oil inside the bottle. It’s an FDA requirement that if a supplement or RX can be used more than one way, it has to have two different labels). If used topically, it must be diluted with a carrier oil …. it’s a hot oil but it has so many benefits. Check out the Research section on the YL page of each oil. 🤓I’ll use Lemongrass as an example here…. all these studies are on the Lemongrass page:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4149144/ (14 Day Resetters…. ya’ll will find this one particularly interesting! 😎…. our next Reset starts April 10th…. please message me if you are interested in participating)
 
Gut health is one of my passions….. because if your gut isn’t healthy….. guaranteed… you won’t be either. MightyPro is a pre and probiotic for kids and adults alike. It tastes like a treat, but the real treat is that it’s a healthy habit that benefits gut health (and therefore total body health and immune support). Research has shown that poor gut health as a child can have far reaching effects throughout adulthood (poor gut health as a child contributes to developing obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, depression, and even cancer later in life). It’s TOTALLY worth it to support gut health at all times in life…. not the least of which is as a kid. Get your free bag of MightyPro this month, and begin investing in their future health if you haven’t already been doing so.
 
This last one…… I think this might be the first time we’ve ever been offered a CBD product for free as a monthly gift! Soothe CBD roll-on is loaded with THC-free, full spectrum CBD, peppermint, Copaiba, and 4 eucalyptus essential oil types. You know I love a multi-use product….. not only will this powerhouse roller be a great addition to the gym bag for sore muscles💪🦵, it is also a FANTASTIC item to keep on hand when your lungs🫁 might not be working so well (ie: you’ve fallen below the wellness line and the respiratory system needs a little TLC).
 
I’m a science girl🤓…. and I realize this post leans heavily on the science side of things…… So thankful that Young Living makes products with a purpose…. and almost always MULTIPLE purposes for each product. They can do that because God made plants to do that for us, and YL just harnesses the goodness He gave us and puts it in forms we can easily grab and go!
 
Happy April friends! Oh yes….. I almost forgot! When you are a Loyalty Rewards subscriber, you get 10 free bonus points (1 point = 1 dollar) with a 100+PV order! 😍
If you’d like to partake in the YL lifestyle, here’s a link to become a member: https://bit.ly/3oFccZj
 
If you’d like to partake in the 14Day Reset…. next one starts April 1st, and you will need a good supply of NingXia Red ….. it’s the secret sauce to the Reset. Even if you drink NingXia Red daily…. the way it’s used in the rest will likely impress you with results. Here’s a link for the most cost-effective NingXia: https://bit.ly/14-Day-Reset.
